....I also found it interesting in shows I've seen that there was genetic material which couldn't be identified....not saying it's Nessie, just that it's intriguing....

Doesn't that just mean they couldn't pinpoint it to a type of species because it was too degraded?? DNA  does degrade after a while so that some was unidentified was rather to be expected. Or am i completely thinking wrong??

Moonage Daydream



(oh yeah)

That one is in our soon-to-be-watched queue. It was either that or Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could See Me Now (Amazon Prime). We chose Lightfoot instead.

What a strange, strange film about an equally strange man. It felt like it was directed by David Lynch.

Notaro

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck....

It was interesting......not sure if I agree with all he says though....

I thought it was fascinating, he was a unique artist. I like most of his stuff but I have a lot of love for his Lets Dance album, it always makes me smile when I listen to it.

Very creative and artistic.

We watched Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie on Apple TV+ yesterday. A no holds barred look at where he is now and how he got there. The man has had a rough go of it. So many falls and broken bones. But he's still got it.

Its a very moving documentary.  His optimisim is remarkable, as he says himself..... "As long as you have a chip left and a chair to sit in, you're in the game."

I think i’ve watched this. I adore hammer and amicus.

I’ve watched a bunch of docs lately. 

Peter O’toole
Richard Harrison
Anna Nicole Smith
There’s Something Seriously Fucked up With Aunt Diane (spoiler heads up: the bitch was drunk and high)
And some typical Texas bullshit — How to Create a Sex Scandal. Sick people. Could only watch first episode because it was too sick. Par for the course, there was a cover up.

Being Mary Tyler Moore

100 Years of Warner Brothers

Watched JFK Revisited; Through The Looking Glass.

Its been over 30 years since Oliver Stone's movie JFK, since then move documents have been declassified, Stone examines and cements his theory of a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy.

Really excellent documentary, I've always believed Kennedy was killed because of his anti-war stance, this hammers it home for me.

Arnold — netflix

i really recommend this. Imperfect man but fascinating story. I do admire his tenacity and his desire to improve in every way always.

Tour de France — unchained. 

Wow! This is a dangerous ass sport. On episode 2 and it is fascinating.

A rider just died in the Tour de Suisse, a lead up to Tour de France. This documentary is interesting. It is a brutal sport.

Watched, Take Care Of Maya.

A documentsry about a husband and wife who after taking their daughter to the hospital are accused of child abuse, specifically munchausen syndrome by proxy.

This was absolutely horrific, the hell that this family was put through staggers the mind. Deeply upsetting to watch.
