Cosmonauts: How Russia Won The Space Race
absolutely fascinating. Right from the atomic bomb and the first R7's right through to Mir and then ISS. Loads of footage I'd not seen and interviews with old russian blokes

Priest... the Paul Bettany vampire thing. 90 minutes of my life wasted.

Gonzo.
Tolerable documentary about the late Hunter S. Thompson. An amusing fellow, but also a prat who squandered his talent. What I liked most was the archive footage from the old days, especially the McGovern campaign. A time when politicians were just as weird looking as ordinary people (they still look weird, but not in the way ordinary people do).

It's really good

Good Hair
documentary film from chris rock about black hair. While it was quite informative in terms of the industry that surrounds black hair and so on it sort of glossed over the politicized aspects. Touched on briefly in places, but not really. Also focused near exclusively on wealthy black american womens experiences.

The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Catching up on Walking Dead, just watched Episode 14 of S4 (The Grove).
That might well be one of best Walking Dead episodes I've seen, just nerve shredding and utterly horrible / compelling

The little girl playing Lizzie was great, the little half-vacant smile while she waited for her sister to 'come back', with the throwaway comment "I was gonna do Judith next" *shudders*
"Look at the flowers Lizzie"
Fuck Rick, I want to be on Team Carol (unless I develop a cough or express any sympathy for the walkers
), she's unrecognisable from Season 1 Carol.

That looks good. I'll give that a go tonight, cheers.
I'm on to the 'Final Act' of The Shield now, series 7. I've thoroughly enjoyed this. I don't think I gave it enough credit when I was first watching it - I kept comparing it to The Wire which is a bit pointless, really, as they're not in the same league. It's had a few plot twists that I really didn't see coming though and some of the bits with Dutch making a prat out of himself have had me laughing a lot.

Blade runner, the final cut.
Starring Harrison Ford, the favourite actor of girls with daddy issues everywhere.
Regarding the issue of whether Deckard is a replicant, well the film would still make sense (just about) if that was the case, but it would also be pointless. The point is the depiction of an alienated humanity whose artificial replacements are actually closer to certain defining traits of humanity than their creators.

Just another one of Beelzebub's petty demons - hence the famous lyric "Beelzebub - has a devil for a sideboard me!"

Decker being a replicant fits perfectly with that.

But Batty telling him "I've seen things you people can't even imagine" doesn't.

rutger wrote that speech himself as well. Who knew the muscly man had such poesy in him.

But Batty had no more idea of Decker's replicantness than Decker did. And he's speaking to us, anyway.
There is a bit of an issue in that there are virtually no people in it, if Decker is a replicant, so the contrast is rather weakened, but it's still just about there.

of course in the original drafting of the story eldon tyrell was a replicant of sorts- passing his memories onto a new replicant body each time the clock wound down on the old one.

No, in that scene he is quite clearly addressing Deckard as a representative of a humanity which has betrayed itself.

The original speech he had to give was simply 'Crap'

i know its a completely different story really but because he wasn't in 'do androids' I always erred on the 'probably not' in Bladerunner
so many happy accidents in the making of that film

I think rutger should have played Batty more like Bender.
