I think Friday Night Lights may still be there.

But yeah, Louie.

and Street Fight, about the mayoral campaign between Sharpe James & Corey Booker


Tv Series
Damages

SInce when is Breaking Bad on Instant? The Nilsson documentary is worth watching(especially for this one Mickey Dolenz interview where he freaks out.)

Breaking Bad appeared a couple of weeks back.

I can recommend Stagecoach, and I usually can't watch John Wayne. I am re-watching Bride of Frankenstein this weekend, for maybe the 5th time.

I've found Jiminy Glick at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards to be an entertaining way to spend 30 minutes. Glick makes fun of Netflix and interviews Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Maria Bello, Dennis Hopper, Steve Buscemi, and Ed Begley Jr.

Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen

Top comic Byron Allen hosts this riotous combination of chat show, pointed social commentary and live stand-up, which features a rotating panel of the hottest comedians riffing without restraint on the news of the day and their personal pet peeves.

Speaking of Byron Allen, where are Skip Stephenson and Sarah Purcell these days?

and even in death...

"Valhalla Rising" was almost as good as "Howard the Duck"
"Adventures in Power" highly recommended even though Michael McKean is in the hate pit and Rush is frowned apparently frowned upon by the Cynics (but not Ted Leo).

I cannot vouch for the veracity of these, but if Ibsen's is true (#7 in this list), it is the best last utterance ever:

Nardwuar recently interviewed that Adventures with Power guy. Sounded like good fun.
