To any fans of Harlan Ellison with an extra :10bux: laying around, I would highly recommend Dreams With Sharp Teeth. You can download it from the iTunes store. If you're unfamiliar with the man, he is without question THE grumpiest person to ever walk the earth. Oh yeah, and he writes some pretty amazing books too.

I wouldn't dare pirate it. I'm sincerely afraid of what he might do to me if he ever found out.

Any Charlie Manson interview is, for lack of a better word, insane. I don't even know why they bother asking him serious questions after the first five minutes, the man clearly has at best a feeble grasp on reality.

I've watched several of his interviews, and I always go back and forth between thinking "He's completely lost his mind," and "He knows he's in for life, so he's just loving with them."

FINALLY a statement in which Homer the epic poet and Homer Simpson could be used interchangably.

I'm a big enthusiast of historical villains and scoundrels. I've seen the Idi Amin documentary a few times, and I'm pretty well familiar with most of the classic standbys (Caligula, Vlad the Impaler, De Sade, etc.). I'd love to learn about someone new, or watch a particularly unique one of a figure I'm already familiar with.

I check in on this thread every month or so, so forgive me if I'm repeating something that's been suggested before.

I'd heard that Pete Townshend's story is that he was doing his own independent research on child abuse and just got a little deeper than the law allows private citizens to scour. Any confirmation on this?

Not to be a dick, but I'm 30 minutes in and this is just bad. They spend more time on badly-acted, un-narrated reenactments than they do actually talking about who he was and what he did. There's even a music video in the first fifteen minutes for some reason. Does it improve any?

This one a is really good, great narrative.
Narrated by none other than Andy "Gollum" Serkis!

I think my favorite shot in the whole thing was that long, wide view of the queen's chamber with the all the engorged ants hanging from the ceiling. It looked like something H.R. Giger would have designed.

^^^ My heart started racing at this news. I hope like nothing else that this is true, but if only two of them get out I'd bet anything it's Damien who stays. :smith:

One of the very first things I did after watching was search google for some news that she had been disbarred, or at least made some sort of public apology. That bitch is still on the bench, and as far as I know she has taken no responsibility.

Unlike the more violent common chimpanzees, bonobos live in peaceful societies ruled by females, where aggression is diffused by frequent sex.
We could learn something from these noble creatures. :quagmire:
