American Anarchist.

Documentary about William Powell, who wrote "The Anarchist Cookbook". It's actually an infuriating documentary, the people who made it were quite horrible and seemed to be pushing for something that wasn't there. It made me wonder if it was done on purpose, so we can sympathise with Powell. But I doubt it.

I felt quite sad when it ended, the way they questioned William to coerce him into admitting something (because so many people involved in massacres and murders owned a copy of the book) was so biased, deliberate and even cruel. In the middle of all that there's a lot interesting stuff about how/why the book was written. The man himself, William, came across as a decent man, as did his wife, while the interviewer/director comes across as a bit of an idiot. Worth a watch because it's thought provoking.

I don't know why but I always think that's the name of the guy who played Jambo in Hollyoaks

Paul Danan. Wasn't Jambo.

Paul Danan. Wasn't Jambo.

Oh right him - now I remember. Can't believe Hollyoaks is still going. They even have it on in fucking New Zealand.

THANK YOU! Now that at least makes some kind of sense

It beats Shortland Street and the one about Westies though

The Lobster is fantastic. At turns hilarious, terrifying and bizarre, it'll stay with you.

Saw this last night, has it's weaknesses (like sort of runs out of ideas/goes a little flat halfway through after a brilliant first hour) but recommended. Loved the theatre of the absurd type stuff.

Just wondering for anyone who has seen it, is there any doubt for you about the ending? Because there seems to be, though wasn't for me.

Spoiler

I know they don't spell it out, but I thought they kind of do. In the last scene, at the very end, in a film heavy on symbolism, you are shown two trucks coming together and all but kissing. Signifying he does blind himself to a) be with her and does so by b) becoming 'the lobster', a creature for which there is much evidence that it is blind or nearly blind and relies heavily on other senses - which is what she says to him at the end (the senses bit).

GLOW.

About Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, with Alison Brie.

I'm watching it at the moment. On about ep 8 or 9. It's legitimately amazing.

Whaa.....?! It's the episode that was released earlier this year, but does that mean episodes are going to be released on there as they come out?! This could be big news!

It was a little unclear whether the season would get a UK release date, but now Netflix (which carries seasons 1 and 2) has confirmed to The Independent that episode 1, 'The Rickshank Rickdemption', will be available on 30 July and the show will be added to the streaming service every Sunday until it concludes on 8 October.

It unfortunately appears the Netflix uploads will be a week behind Adult Swim's broadcast of the episodes, however.

I'll take it.

I was really annoyed by that , trying to link him to columbine and stuff . To me it looked as if they'd promised to do a serious piece and then ambushed him with this sensationalist bullshit . I think only Powells strength of character and evident decency ...and his wifes...overcame it . Powell lifted all his material from freely available US army manuals that were in public libraries across the US . He didn't invent any of that stuff . He wrote the book as a protest .
The columbine massacre had no more to do with him than it did Marilyn Manson . It was disgraceful to try and stick that stuff on him .

 

[Casually Red]

Started 'Ozark', good so far and just 2 episodes.

Ozarks decent enough . Watched all the episodes thus far .

 

[antimata]

Um wot?

Of course it's nonsense.

That's the point.

Are you not paying attention to ol' Slavoj?
