    been digging the "Wild China" series...

    for those who have seen the Rush documentary...where in the hell did the professionaly shot footage of a teenage Alex Lifeson arguing with his parents about not wanting to finish high school and be in a band come from...why in the hell was that being shot?

    It's from an early 70s Allan King (RIP) documentary "Come On Children" about Toronto kids living on a farm for a while. That footage was the audition.

    interesting choice. i love nirvana and watched this back when it came out. i kinda was buying into it, but rewatching it recently, it seemed forced and just a long railing against Courtney Love, cuz she dissed the guy who made the movie.

    If you haven't seen it, go watch it now.

    Made by TIm Hetherington, the same dude who made the extraordinary & insightful 'The Devil Came on Horseback' & Liberia: An Uncivil War.

    what is with the crazy red beards on some of these Afghan elders?
    Yer, Afghans / Pashtuns are an interesting ethnic group, light skin or dark skinned, blue, green or brown eyes, various hair colours including bright red, that turns black with age then grey, but the red comes back out in the beard.

    Real center of the ancient world type ish.

    no way the color Im talmbout is natural; this is like fire engine red. I think they use henna to dye them or something.

    it's to cover gray, (Muslim) men can only use henna to dye hair - despite the marked difference between their natural hair colour
    (there is no black henna, not a safe mixture anyway)

    Great film but could have been even greater. The subject is so ripe, the characters so compelling, yet I felt there was a lot left out or parts that could have been explored in greater depth. The best part is that it focuses on their relationships which I knew almost nothing about. Angelo is so fucking crazy. Warning to the heads, the exploration of their albums is not super in depth if that is what you are looking for. It's more of a character study about being an artist.

    Thanks, just added to the queue.
    Who has seen Ghost Bird about the Ivory Billed Woodpecker?

  • last night i had a couple pints of guinness with dinner then swilled a belt of robitussin before watching "OCEANS" the new disney nature doc. not only was it facemeltingly amazing, but i think the toxic combination of alcohol and medication made it the most enjoyable thing i've watched in years.

    Looks good. I'd watch a David Sibley doc too.

    Essential viewing


  • I just watched the two documentaries by Louis Theroux about the Westboro Baptist Church, "The Most Hated Family In America" and "America's Most Hated Family In Crisis." The one titled "In Crisis" basically talks to some of the members who had left and how the family reacted to them leaving. But the highlight of all those documentaries was this, to me.



    Crazy. Ness.

    I think this one is pretty nice.




  • I was invited to go see a free screening of this film this week and I went to Youtube to see if I could find the trailer of it. I couldn't find the trailer, but I did find the entire film. It was a nice watch, and a few of these bands sound like something I might check out of curiosity.
