Just curious as to which torrent sites you guys are using.
I've been hitting up The Pirate Bay and Mininova.
Can you recommend any others  |

Hey, thanks for the great links, folks...I just finished the Werner Herzog doc about Antarctica and the weird people who go there. Beautiful! But did anyone else notice that one girl in the audience at the 'Human Luggage' stage-show? The one with the really long goatee? Eewww! Yuck! Bearded ladies are icky.
So now I'm downloading a bunch of his other movies...'Wheel of Time,' about the world's largest Buddhist festival; 'the Wild Blue Yonder,' a fiction piece about aliens starring Brad Dourif; and 'White Diamond,' which is about a zeppelin or something that floats over the canopy of some big tropical rainforest somewhere. Cool stuff I bet.
I'm Dloading now something called 'Gomorra,' about the Comora (Napoli mafia, super hardcore thugs apparently), that won great praise at festivals this year. Scorcese says it 'redefines the gangster movie.' Not sure where I'm gonna find the subs tho. Good article on that flick in today's "Daily Beast." http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-10-13/mob-mentality/
"Frisky Dingo" is good too, thanks for that--I love the old dudes who only say 'harrumph harrumph.'
Also, 'Electric Dragon 80000 Volts' is on ISOhunt after a long absence. Weird Japanese movie about a boxer rock and roll star who gives himself super power by charging himself up with huge bursts of electricity. Bizarre.
And that new South Park is gross. People are getting huffy now about the Speilberg rape scene, apparently. http://www.imdb.com/news/ns0000002/#ni0582962
But really, what the hell do they expect? It's South Park, for chrissakes. |

Anatomy.for.Beginners parts 1 2 3 4
if you have never seen a human disection then this is your chance!
I will warn you, ITS NOT for the faint hearted it can be disturbing for some, others might find it every interesting. I am still not sure what I feel. but am amazed...
The famous anotomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunther_von_Hagens
part 1- Movement ( takes off the human skin to reveal the mussles and explain how we move..
part 2 - circulation - ( disects the human to explain how it works)
part 3 - digestion - (cuts open the torso to reveal our system and explain)
part 4 - reproduction - (removes our sex organs to explain in detail)
this is a very informative documentary but like I said, its like a butcher gutting a pig! well I must say Von hagens is like an artist he is disturbingly skilled.. |

Stephen Fry, looking very aged and puffy, hosts a pretty cool documentary about the invention of the printing press called the machine that made us.
"Stephen's investigation combines historical detective work and a hands-on challenge. He travels to France and Germany on the trail of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press and early media entrepreneur. Along the way he discovers the lengths Gutenberg went to keep his project secret, explores the role of avaricious investors and unscrupulous competitors, and discovers why printing mattered so much in medieval Europe," says the BBC.
Kinda neat. |

Have you seen he has a new program where he is driving through all of the US states in a London cab. First episode was last week sometime. Was pretty good. |

Lately I've been getting 'Match of the Day' from BTjunkie. It's a compressed version of the best four or five Premiership games of the week. Last week was especially good, with Chelsea and Man U blowing out their hideously outclassed opposition, and Arsenal and Liverpool both having interesting games. I like football but get a little bored watching the full games, so for a diletante like me it's great to have it boiled down a bit. Nice to see what basically are highlight reels without that crappy warbling bar-rock guitar solo crap they love so well in North American sports shows. Seriously, why does hockey rock suck so bad?
No Heroics is a watchable new 30 minute comedy from Britain's ITV. It's crass as hell, about trashy loser super-heroes who loaf around making gross comments and being pigs. They curse and swear and steal and bang groupies and are essentially scum. It could be a lot better, this show, but it's not bad hung-over fare. |

I've been really enjoying The Mentalist lately. It's about a former psychic who gave up all pretenses of supernatural powers and now uses his cold-reading skills, sleight-of-hand, rock-paper-scissors, etc, to help the police.
It's basically a sceptic's response to Ghost n' Crime. In the first episode, one of the other cops who believes in psychics asks him, "When you were pretending to be a psychic, could the real psychics tell you were faking?" He simply responds "There�s no such thing as real psychics."
The show was clearly written by writers who know how to add enough plot twists, and know what it's like dealing with gullible people. |
