Evolution of Bodybuilding - World Premiere in Los Angeles - Pics

[Ron]

Went to check out the world premier of the Evolution of Bodybuilding movie (documentary) at Sunday at 4:30pm at the Regal Theaters in L.A. Live.    Quite a few people went to the event, including Ronnie Coleman, Rich Gaspari, Lenda Murray.   As for the movie, it was actually a very good documentary, well edited, except for a few parts that didnt have to be in there (towards the end).

Most of us in the audience were pleasantly surprised and actually were kept intrigued by the footage.  So kodus to Shawn Ray for working on a good documentary.  Although, some improvements could be made...

Lenda is looking good as usual. Someone should tell the fatty on the left that black isn't that slimming.

Care to expand on that thought, Ron?

Towards the end of the movie, they rushed a little, and brought in a few people that should not be there in the evolution of bodybuilding.  They should of brought in a few others, like Lonnie Teper (write for 20+ years), Robert Kennedy (another icon), pushed to get all of the Olympians (got 9 of 13), and some others that have been there in the last 20-25 years instead of a few new people who only have been there 3-5 years. 

I know that they left quite a few competitors, people and lots of footage out of the movie, and perhaps that can put some of that on the DVD.  In this type of documentary, you film a ton of hours for a 1 1/2 hour movie.  Still, the last 10 minutes could of been done better.  The first 90% of it was quite good, better than I expected.

Relying heavily on Peter McGough on the history, who is definately the foremost expert on bodybuilding in the last 20+ years, was good.   Still, they can always add on it for the DVD, although for a latter edition.  I am pretty sure they want this out now.

But honestly, definately worth watching.  In terms of a documentary of bodybuilding and interviews (snippets) that we have not heard before.

Since I consider 'Schmoe' to mean a worshipper of female bodybuilders, you need to ask a 'Female Bodybuilding' site about that - but it usually is Tre (as he is the ultimate schmoe)

So basically, you're pissed they didn't put you in it?
  just kidding...

Nice to see something positive on bbing, and its history, thanks for the feedback, Ron

I was there and thought it was pretty good as well. The interviews with Larry Scott were fantastic, I learned heaps of stuff that I didn't know. Lee Haney was gold. Peter McGough was a good touch. He is a real historian, as Ron said there could have been some more of those guys that had been around for longer. Overall pretty damn good!
Well done to Shawn and his crew, a lot of work went in to it.

Epic red carpet premiere and with Gaspari pointing to the sole poster like we don't know why they're there and which likely blew over and away as soon as they walked into the theatre.
