Piracy or Philanthropy? BeachGrit to digitise history’s entire catalogue of surf film!

Examine Hot Cinema, a thrilling new feature that welcomes all video!

A common criticism about BeachGrit is we don’t aggregate every video that’s loosed. We’ve always pushed the line that if it ain’t worth a story it ain’t worthy of flooding your eyeballs.

And, therefore, readers are forced to populate darkener neighbourhoods where they can see such things. Sorta like having to visit the cheap corner store to buy milk ’cause your fav eatery refuses to pollute ’emselves with basics.

One afternoon, recently, our Los Angeles-based developer (you can see the back of the Hollywood sign from his gorgeous house) gifted us the ability to include a video, no matter how ordinary, pointless or, conversely, dazzling, without having it appear on the main page.

If you look down the bottom right column, you’ll see an aggregator panel like the ones you might’ve stumbled on at various adult-interest websites.

Click on Newest and, yeah, you get everything we’ve loaded.

24 Hours will get you the most popular over the past day, All Time gets ya the best in the biz.

Wave your mouse over Hot Cinema in the top menu bar and you’ll get what’s called a Mega Menu.

And you know what makes this thing a miracle? We’ll run…everything.

Just as Google plans to digitise history’s entire catalogue of words (ten million books digitised so far), we wanna do the same with surf film.

Just upload all the Runman movies

Really

You have a developer?

Noncompetitor

There’s an app called NobodySurf that seems to have every web clib of the past 5 years at least. Maybe copy that. Tag everyone and every place. And get all Warshaw’s EOS stuff. What a project. Do you have any idea what you just bit off?
Here’s some VHS fun
1. Sons of Fun
2. Pickled
3. Campaign
4. Free as a Dog
5. Pro Land
6. On the Road with Spike
7. 5’5″ x 19 1/4
8. Wanderjahr
9. Doped Youth (of course)
10. Occumentary

P.S. Poor Jack McCoy might not be with us much longer. Derek, please interview him. I hear he’s in poor health. He did a lot of good work.

Jazzy P

We got Doped Youth in there already! Others I’ll find!!

Phat-wan kerr

hows ya pie.

I think you may have fucked the user experience by making us go to two different pages. Hot Cinema will get fuck all for comments or traffic if it’s not in the main feed. Check your analytics in a few weeks, but I imagine you’ll do better numbers by funneling the vids through the main feed.

Jazzy P

We can do both!!

Jen See

hi can i put in a request for sea of darkness? because i have never seen it and i know one of you cunts has it.

Mariano Landa

I have it! Who wants it?

Kook Dahanamoku

I WANT IT! Upload that motherfucker

Jen See

dropbox me, maybe?

Mariano Landa

Anybody who wants it, get at me at [email protected].

m0rt

Let the spamming begin!

Mariano Landa

Good thing that email is only for dealing with BG cunts.

channelbottom

Me! Me! Me sir!

Dezza could arrange a confidential exchange of email addressesessezes. Shirley?

Jazzy P

Let’s upload and set the timer to see how long it takes for the cease-and-desist letter to come through

Mariano Landa

Well, you’re no fucking fun, aren’t you.

Jazzy P

ha!! I never said I’d take it down once the letter came through!

Bush

Me too!

surfmom

Will it be Tom Cruise-esq? Will it contain the sweetest, most optimistic, most loving clips we’ve ever seen? https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

astro

Yea – Tom Cruise-esq ? WTF ?
Where did they get that from ?
Like kids give a shit about Tom fukkn Cruise ?
Like any body gives a shit about him ?
jeez clueless

surfmom

So many adjectives that I actually have less of an idea as to what they’re doing than before I watched the promo.

astro

It’s wonderful world.
I’m in a constant state of wonder as to how any of the management are still employed. Not that I give a shit. But ??? A comedy of errors.

turts

Every link you click on should direct you to Bunyip Dreaming, just to fuck with people. And to also fuck with Jack McCoy

@surfads

Fools, nobody’s interested in surf nostalgia

NEGATRON

Goodbye bi-weekly STAB visits!!

channelbottom

I’m confused.
Are you weakly bi?

astro

That’s easy. He was going to Stab bi weakly every second week.
Either that or was twice weekly weakly bi every second week.
ohh, he might have been bi going to Stab weakly every second week twice.
Unless weekly he was weakly bi twice going to Stab weekly.
Now I’m confused. Negs ?

Phat-wan kerr

Hopefully beachgrit includes stabs videos. And does all the old vhs stuff. Lot of great video segments have been worn out and are impossible to find.

jimbome

Email sent. Jen See, you shoulda hit me back!

Jen See

hi sorry! i was traveling!

longtom

I got 2 cult classics on hand.

channelbottom

That sounds kinda kinky, Steve.

But then again, perhaps you’re referring to something you should see a doctor about.

astro

This is lame.
I’m going back to Get Sent !

The Bitchy Crab

It was beautiful while it lasted!

Otto

astro
