Good idea!
On a separate note my father took us to a Harlem Globetrotters game one year in Omaha, great seats also. Maybe the old man wasn't so bad after all.

All the Globetrotters we used to watch on Wide World of Sports are either extremely old or dead.

It bothers me when people disparage television as a medium, because that's all it is. It's the content that counts. Granted 95% of "TV" is crap, but so are 95% of theatrical releases and probably 99% of all pen put to paper.
I've been keeping up with Game of Thrones, The Borgias and the Houses of both Cards and Lies. I think GOT is probably the best thing on television right now. It led to me read GRR Martin's 5 books (twice). As a SciFan reader I can't believe I missed them. I'm really hoping George lives long enough to write Winds of Winter and the final book. He fat and old and it took him 7 years to write the fifth one. WRITE GEORGE, WRITE!
House of Cards is being filmed locally which is the large part of my interest. I like watching people I know in the background. I keep hoping I'll catch a certain local featured in a puckerstar scene.
Deadwood, Rome, Firefly, Mitchell and Webb, Blackadder... there's been a lot of great content on television.

Just watched this documentary from across the water. Seems the best only come from there now.
BBC Imagine- McCullin (2013)
Documentary portrait of legendary British war photographer and photojournalist Don McCullin. Told through a series of searingly honest and often graphic interviews, McCullin recounts a life lived in the theatre of war - from his first assignment with the violent teenage gangs on his home turf of Finsbury Park, to capturing international conflicts of the past 50 years. The film lays bare McCullin's disgust for the destruction of human life, juxtaposed with the adrenaline rush of a life spent under enemy fire.

MVGroup distributed about half the documentaries I've seen over the last 10 years.

I was sick recently so got to watch daytime TV for the first time in a decade or two. I realized things have changed when I was watching "North Woods Cops" (Which is about game wardens, not cops) and they run down a guy for trespassing on his neighbors field with his ATV (exciting!) and when they roll up to his house he has 40 pot plants growing out back. After checking his "Maine Medical Provider" paperwork they wrote him a warning for trespass and went on their way.

It's interesting and has some great music. And it's depressing as hell. But yeah, the problem has spread way beyond places like Oceana, WV. Here in the foothills of NC it seems every redneck is abusing, if not hooked on Oxy or its
equivalents.
I once got some understanding by watching Harlan County, USA the day before viewing The Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. Those people have been fucked forever.
One the other hand, maybe this stuff comes in waves. I remember plenty of documentaries in the 70s about heroin addicts. But then again, heroin never had the backing of the pharmaceutical companies.

Yayup, the white niggers of Appalachia have been an under-our noses shame for literally centuries. Nobody in history has ever given a shit about these people. They have lived without hope for generations, and it doesn't seem that many even know what hope feels like.
The parallels with what most whites would call "ghetto culture" in urban poor populations are obvious...and depressing.

Not a happy story but nfidel's right. It's well done and worth watching, if only for its film score, pastoral scenery and the priceless peek into our shiny future after Wall Street finishes selling away our birthright.

Government starts at the local level. These people are first, and foremost, fucked by their own state government.

Sorry about the lateness, but yesterday Sundance ran the entire season of The Returned.
People return from the dead expecting to pickup their life where they left off, and then things get complicated.

Sundance says they are not going to rerun it again, but torrents abound. You can download all eight hours in under an hour. Ain't the Internet grand?

I never got into SofA but I'm hearing that complaint a lot. Since I never watched it, I don't know if the similarities are just image; but Justified is a terrific show about tough men and tough women who do bad, bad things and shoot each other a lot. The dialogue is usually A-1 and all the talent is having a blast. You might enjoy it more than Sons.
