We used to have one of these didn’t we? This recommendation isn’t even a big one. It was on BBC1 the other night and its about a guy who is walking the entire coastline of Britain and its taking him years to do it. For something that feels like it could be a One Show segment its actually a really beautiful little film. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000zpy5/our-lives-series-5-the-long-walk-home |

Turning Point on Netflix. Then if you have never seen them the OJ Made In America one and the four parter on Pistorius are brilliant.

Fever Pitch on BBC about the early years of the Premier League. Got quite emotional.

Ken Burns Vietnam series is available on Amazon. Absolutely definitive account across 10 episodes of 90 mins+ . Brilliant primarily because of the extensive and often moving interviews with people from both sides, and the detailed analysis of the way the war used politically in the US. Worth it for the account of Nixons treason alone, and the reaction from soldiers who were sent to fight years after it could have been ended but for that bastard.
Also the best soundtracked war ever, helicopters, hippies, soft-pack cigarettes. Up there with The World At War, great for many of the same reasons.

JCS Criminal Psycology is my favourite channel, some of the videos are 2 hours long but feel like 5 minutes because it's so addictive. I've never been in to criminal minds type stuff but this channel got me hooked.

In one of those wonderful BBC things, BBC Midlands has binned Shop Well for Less which the rest of the country are currently watching and instead we’ve got a great hour long documentary about the birth of 2 Tone. Well worth a watch, it will be on iPlayer later, 2 Tone: The Sound of Coventry Edit: Here’s the link www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00105h9 |

Watched Fever Pitch (4 episodes) and the Paul Merson gambling doc both on iplayer.
Fever Pitch was great, I remember all the buzz about the "super league" at the time, who can forget the spectacle of MNF! lots of old pros talking, my god how old does Colin Hendry look, he was never a looker but still! fav episode was about our saviour Wenger V Fergie. Well worth a watch, not sure how I missed it originally.
Paul Merson: Football, Gambling and me. Interesting watch and regardless of you allegion to a club and or if you think they are a mug, you have to have some empathy for someone with a gambling (or any) addiction.

Four Hours at the Capitol (HBO)
This was...frustrating. On one hand it is impossible for any sane person to watch this harrowing look at the Capitol attack by Trump supporters on January 6th and come away believing it was some sort of a peaceful protest or even worse, a "tourist visit". On the other hand, anyone who is still of that mindset will be steering clear of this thing anyway.
The documentary is peppered with interview excerpts from people who were there that day, but for every cop on the ground with fascinating insight there is a Proud Boys member or GOP shitheel proudly proclaiming their part in inciting or taking part in the chaos and violence that ensued - exactly why the filmmakers thought their inclusion was necessary is baffling to me.
Worse yet, so much still remains unexplained. Stuff like: where were all the cops at, who was responsible for organizing and funding this shitshow, and, seriously, what the fuck was up with the lack of cops. I realize it would be foolish to expect answers here but the filmmakers didn't even seem interested in raising the questions.
Anyway enough blather about this thing. It somehow feels both essential and completely pointless. Gah, this post was far longer than I thought it would be

Largely pointless in that it didn't seek to raise any questions nor resolve them, but still quite a fascinating insight into what actually happened. As for the interviews with the Proud Boys lot, I think it was interesting to hear how fucking insane they sound. There is a line from one of them which is quite telling, something about Donald Trump being appointed by God which is why he followed him. It's quite interesting (and scary!) the cult of personality that has grown around him. |

I tried to watch one of the Netflix "Movies that made us" episodes last night, the Die Hard one, but jesus fucking christ it was so annoying. Blinky blonky comedy music and an awful narrator. Are they all like that or do they improve in terms of the tone? It was totally unwatchable.

Yeah, I mean watching MAGA clowns on something like the Daily Show's Jordan Klepper can be entertaining (in a "fuck we're all doomed" sort of way) but the thing is, I need that kind of filter. Seeing these lunatics being essentially given the same weight as the officers who were defending the building that day (even if that wasn't the intention) just really rubbed me up the wrong way. |

I really enjoyed "In Search of the Last Action Heroes" which is on IMDB TV. I just discovered IMBd TV and although it has ads, they're not too bad or too intrusive.
Anyway, the documentary was a good wander down memory lane with the likes of Arnie, Stallone, Van Dam me and the various films they've been in, primarily from early 80s to early 90s. I wasn't expecting much from the program, but left it wanting to watch Predator, Rambo, Terminator, Aliens and... Quite a few more like Die Hard. I enjoyed it and if you've got Amazon Prime, you've got IMDb TV.

Still waiting for the Woodstock 99 HBO thing to get released over here... Anyone heard anything? It's kind of a woketacular piece of trash really about toxic masculinity. About the one thing they did get right is how big of a dick Fred Durst was. I'm not saying there isn't merit to the angle they took but really could of been made by guardian journalists. It is good at highlighting some of the spectacularly bad decisions that where made on those days though. |

But of course, in this wonderful new world where everything's connected, content is still somehow region-specific. Hopefully it'll be in Netflix sooner or later, or HBO Max is released in the UK. |

If it was done objectively it would of been a real good doco and to be fair it comes close to being one but it is a hit piece none the less.
It's worth the watch, sort of.
They just switched HBOes to HBO Max here, not overly sure what is different.
Also I've bookmarked this to watch

What’s so woke about it? I remember the festival being reported as an end of days frat-bro trashfest of garbage people even at the time in the rock/metal press. Y’know, with the sexual assaults, violence and fires and all that. |

Well, it was a total shit show for sure. But they could of presented it objectively and one could still all draw those similar conclusions.
It's heavily biased, a bit hypocritical and very broad in it's generalisations.
They went all in on the Music was bad, kids are bad, Fred Durst? Bad.
Maybe it's a American thing. I don't enjoy that style.

The line-up was absolutely all over the place so sure the high points of bad behaviour were inevitably around Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock but there were also boring ass bands like Counting Crows there and surely no one is so woke that they’d object to Rage Against The Machine burning an American flag during their headline set

It's more the framing of it that it all came down to 'Toxic masculinity' whether it was in the music, performers, audience or promoters. That's the line it runs with. No room for anything else.
It wasn't the documentary I expected is all.
