Cocaine Cowboys (on Netflix) was baddass awesome.

For those that enjoy riding on two wheels..."Faster" is a good one to watch. Its narrated by Ewan McGregor.

I know this technically isn't a "documentary", but they do make them and are quite good and occasionally eye opening.

Their videos are all over Youtube and if you're ever bored, watch one, you won't be disappointed.

Babump.

Finally got a chance to watch Restrepo. I have to admit this movie fucked me up. I don't know what it's like to be a soldier or at war, but I do know what it's like to watch a dear friend lose his life right in front of your eyes. To be the first person next to his side.

It's made all that shit come rushing back.

Should be required viewing.

I just watched the long version of Ayrton Senna. Beyond the speed of Sound.

Great documentary on his career in F1. I'm not a big F1 fan, but it was great great great to watch! Be sure to download the english subtitles since they don't come with most torrents.

History Channel’s special Blood from a Stone


Tear jerker for me.

The search for the Life Diamonds--the subject of the compelling documentary produced by the History Channel.

They were known as Life Diamonds--rough uncut diamonds of high quality bought by Jews in Eastern Europe to use as passports to safety. After 1939 and the Nazi blitzkrieg, after the extermination camps began belching black smoke into the skies and the railroad station at Auschwitz II-Birkenau became the busiest train station in the world, they became Death Diamonds.

Blood from a Stone is the amazing story of forty of those diamonds, of their journey across continents and oceans, from the mines of South Africa to the diamond centers in Antwerp and Amsterdam, to the Jews of Eastern Europe, to the Death Camps. . . and to the two American soldiers who liberated them from the SS, finally, and buried them in a forest in Alsace on the border between France and Germany.

It is the story of the curse believed to lie over the fabulous wealth of these stones, bringing death and disaster to all who touched them. It is the story of Yaron Svoray, who spent more than a decade in search of one small foxhole somewhere in a thousand square miles of forest...and of his unbelievable success.

Blood from a Stone is a unique story, a story unlike any to come out of World War II. Blood from a Stone will more than over a dozen exclusive photos from the two-hour History Channel documentary.

I'm going to watch it tonight. I LOVE Bill. I use his style in some of my writing (I'm putting together an hour or two of stand-up in case i ever grow the balls to go to a open mic night)

"I am available for children's parties" lol

Then you will dig it. One of my favs, where he starts speaking as though it's a broadcast news show:

"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration--that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather!”


Oh and on the comedy thing, DO IT! I think you'd be great at it.
