Notably underrepresented is women. There were a couple in the doc, but this is really a male dominated field. And, these guys are smart as hell, but geeky as hell. I seriously believe if they had not gone into the comic profession, they would have been awkward serial killers. Their moms driving them to their victims.
just sayin'.
I am so sorry that Michelle McNamara didn't live long enough to see all her hard work rewarded with his capture.
The people also involved in the case and their investigation worked so hard to continue Michelle's work. They were tenacious. Her family, friends, victims and husband Patton Oswalt honored her with their continued focus.
If I knew this guy, I would have looked at that sketch and immediately saw him. Plus, he was a cop at one time. I would have thought other cops who worked with him and saw the sketch would have immediately seen him.
This was very good. All of this talent really shaped the music industry and our world.
So many fantastic songs and personalities.

Not exactly a documentary but not a movie. More like an anthropological film wrestled from the hands of pygmies in Borneo, or Dick Clark.
This thing was horrible. It was showcasing some of the talented bands from the 60s. The bookends of the "movie" were the Beatles in their natural habitat, surrounded by screaming girls at actual concerts.
Every band in between was shown on some really bleak sounstage with random pop art pieces placed throughout that the band had to fake sing and play their instruments and weave through as the camera tracked them. Horrible!
Our host was this weird little man who obviously was 75 trying to be hip with this far-out hair do. This guy:
The only saving grace was we would occasionally get a good song -- The House of the Rising Sun. (this is from the actual show)
But most of it was crap. There was a song about Humpty Dumpty and a Spider that sat down beside her.... ugh! I don't know the name of this group but these are the numbnutz who sang it. And were probably getting laid right and left by stupid girls.
This thing was embarrassing.

It appears many honors and things were demolished or taken from him, but it doesn't appear that his knighthood was stripped from him. I found this on that subject:
"Jimmy Savile cannot be posthumously stripped of his knighthood, despite David Cameron suggesting he might be. ... However, the Cabinet Office said Savile no longer had a knighthood to revoke, as individuals cease to be a member of the order when they die."
THat's just sad all the way around.
Documentaries I've been falling asleep to: the Jupiter Enigma and Quakers: That of God in Everyone. I'm genuinely interested in both. Jupiter is fascinating to me - and so gorgeous. And I've always thought I'm a secret Quaker. I've been hoping to watch something good about octopuses soon (not octopi, as I just learned from Professor Google).
Fun side note, they talk about the old ET Atari game a little. It was a stinker of a game but now it is worth sooooo much money because it is very rare. I had that game when I was 10 or so!! We got an Atari for Christmas and a game each and that one was my game. You could not do a darn thing but walk around and fall into a pit....but I REALLY wish I had that game still. 😄
