HANDS ON A HARD BODY - clip

If you have not seen HANDS ON A HARD BODY, you have possibly been missing out on some of the greatest characters ever captured on film. Seriously.

No serious. Some of the best.

This clip is of a guy named Don. Now, Don did not participate in the HOHB contest (you really just have to see the movie), but he did hang out to show his support.

I heard Bindler is directing a movie with Matthew McConaughey -- anybody know about this?

i've been trying to see this since i heard about it on this american life. I can't seem to find it in the stores.... torrent perhaps?

[DocuChick]

I searched google and Amazon has copies listed for like $135! It's like the Holy Grail of Doc films!

I LOVE this movie!! Saw it at the Dobie Theatre in Austin when it came out and it ran for MONTHS!

[babystew666]

I think one of my questions, having seen it and really thinking it a great piece, has to do with: when most people come out after seeing it, do they do so with an appreciation of these people and their lives and struggles, or is more of a ridicule type situation?

Do you see yourself or friends or family (who you respect) in this documentary?

Is it an affirmation or an exploitation? Just an entertainment?

I was just wondering...

[crazynecher]

I know this has been asked a lot, but is there any update to the question, is there an online stream somewhere on the world wide web of this documentary? I tried finding some but all have been deleted or whatever.... sucks...

@DocuChick

damn, I found this on cassette for like 5$, but its been missing from my collection for years. Hate to hear its current worth. ><

Thanks. I'd downloaded stuff from the same site before without a problem so I guess I just got spolied (and careless). I truly have been waiting over 10 years to see this movie. Perhaps I will take the torrent route but run a virus scanner this time!

I downloaded a torrent of this film and it worked well. Unfortunately, sometimes people are jerks on the internet. You gotta run a virus scanner, peerguardian 2, and use good sense about files if you're downloading torrents or anything else.

[drleomarvin]

I downloaded that torrent and had to get a new computer. It wiped out absolutely everything. And it did so before I could watch the movie. :( I guess someone up there just doesn't want me to see this film.

[drleomarvin]

I've been wanting to see this movie for 10 years and cannot find it anywhere. It's been in my Netflix queue for 2 years, and I have yet to see it at a video store. And it's on amazon and ebay for $85+. If anybody finds it streaming online (it was on googlevideo, but I missed it), please let me know. Thank you.

if you ever hear of a reunion type thing, let me know!!

I think a lot of people would find it a strange way of life, for sure. I'm Texas by birth (and proud of it) but I live in Canada now. My husband (who is Canadian) and his friends that have seen the film are critical and don't really get it.

About seeing people I respect in the documentary - well, sure. I know a lot of down-home types who are country bumpkins. :) and they have a good life.

Entertainment - It shows how important a 13k$ nissan truck is to people in a small town.

I saw this movie, it's opening night at a large cineplex in Texas.

I have owned it on VHS and DVD. Truly a spectacular film.. You just have to watch it to understand. I have let some of my better friends watch it with me - they leave afterwards changed FOREVER.

Powerfully good.
