After 4 and a half years of waiting, of stalkerishly following the filmmaker’s every move, of hounding her down any chance I got, of watching and re-watching the online trailer, of forwarding and re-forwarding the trailer, of blogging anything affiliated with the film’s stars and pr ogres, of feeling like a nerdy Star Wars fan-all of that Luvox-necessitating obsessive fixating was somewhat normalized yesterday. Because yesterday marked the long-awaited NYC screening of Pali-American filmmaker Jackie Salloum’s Sundance entry “Slingshot Hip Hop” at the MoMA (actually the second of two this past weekend). In a future post I will provide a much more expansive review of the film. So for now, all I will say is that, just like our very own Mehammed, it was all that and a bag of batata-satiating obscenely high expectations set by half a decade’s worth of hungering and craving.
But for now, enjoy Abeer’s (the vocals behind the chorus for DAM’s “Born Here” video) post film screening singing (sorry in advance for the random head moment towards the end of the video):

Posted by Mohammad | April 7, 2008, 12:13 pmI’m sorry, but that’s some awful singing right there. Too bad, her track with DAM is pretty good.
And Maytha, try grammar next time you post. You keep interupting your sentences with stupid side thoughts. It makes for a difficult read.
