Shit, my mother liked King of Kong

[dave is ok]

Inspirational documentaries:

Man on Wire
The Agronomist

The guy from Man on Wire was on Colbert on Wednesday--he seemed like a really... strange, interesting man

One thing that sucks is the WI anime selection is crap.

I forgot to add to my list, 'Gonzo'. It's the Hunter S Thompson documentary that came out last year and was really really good.

I watched King of Kong, and yeah, it was pretty great. Man on Wire was rad, too, but it had the advantage of having an exceptionally interesting and magnetic subject. It's hard to screw that one up. To me, Kong is even more impressive because it wins an uphill battle whereas Man on Wire shoots fish in a barrel. Kong transcends its relatively frivolous subject matter. Truly amazing direction, here.

I didn't even realize this was available to WI. It's in the queue for this weekend. Thanks!

There's actually another Hunter S Thompson doc on watch instantly called 'Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride' but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It's rated extremely well though.

anime is crap

I'm gonna watch True Bond and see how that is.

How does the star rating system at Netflix work? I was looking at something and it showed 3.5 stars, but at the bottom it says that's for me, the member average is 4.5 stars. Why would I not want to see the real member average at all times?

The 3.5 is the review score of people with similar taste to yours. It's more realist than the over all score. That way you don't have to trust somebodies opinion on Pi who can't get enough of Air Bud.

I've yet to meet anybody who didn't like King of Kong. It's hard not too.
