This documentary used a lot of scenes, as well as the general concept, of another documentary called "The Fire this Time" (which is airing on TV1 this month, by the way) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109805/.
I thought "Bastards of the Party" was very interesting and well done, sort of an updated, more personal version of "The Fire this Time". (I also noticed that they credited Randy Holland as a co-producer.)
I did enjoy it but thought it got a bit slow durring the last half hour. Question Do you know the artist that eas performing durring the scene where he was remembering the deceased members in the last 10 minutes? Thanx spinal
shareYes, I think the overall structure was a little confusing at times, but still extremely informative. Sorry, I have no idea who the artist is, but when I watch it again I'll try to figure it out.
shareI think you're talking about Tupac "So Many Tears"?? That's the only one I can recall rapping over that 10 min. part.
share"Bastards of the Party" originated as a Randy Holland film, with Bone Sloan as its "host" and/or star. Through some complicated altercations that I can't begin to fathom, Randy was removed from the project, and Bone took over. At least half of the footage in "Bastards" was directed by Mr. Holland, including several "lifts" from "The Fire This Time."

No links that I'm aware of. My knowledge comes from having worked on the film when Mr. Holland was at the helm. But you can confirm this by asking Mike Davis or any of the old guys in the library or Erica Huggins, among others.
shareAs I recall the early production of this film, it was a BAR Productions (1995-1996), with the "R" in BAR standing for "Randy." To call it a "Randy Holland Film" would not be accurate according to the first rough cut which states "BAR Productions."
Mr. Holland was definitely a major part of the early development though.

shareI don't think I've seen this. I will most definitely check it out.
