A building struck by debris and on fire will eventually collapse, I know I've been in enough.

Just rewatched 102 Minutes. Still horrible, recall the day like it as yesterday, and it's made worse now that I've been to NYC and fucking love the place.

I watched it and have to admit I started to think there was not tonnes of footage of the planes hitting off people's phones? Some weirdo I once shared a jacuzzi with once spent an hour telling my that the towers were full of explosives, no plane found at pentagon etc etc etc and I have always had a few doubts! Maybe we should have a 9/11 conspiracy thread! Then again maybe not.

I found out I was going to be a dad that day and then went to watch Plymouth vs Swansea in the league cup in a one sided ground. One of the most strange days in my life. Oh here comes Deneyer.

I think we forget how quickly we've moved on in 15 years, there was no facebook, twitter etc. I was 17 and had a Nokia 3210, no chance of videoing anything on it, imagine many were in the same boat.

Just got done watching one of my favorite ESPN 30 for 30 docs.

Requiem For The Big East:
About how a handful of small northeast US universities took on the established order of college basketball and dominated the 80's landscape. Takes me back to my youth and a time that will sadly never come again.

Currently on Netflix.

Americas Hate Preachers - BBC Catch Up.

Follows pastor Steven Anderson over 6 months preaching his vile beliefs, whilst his followers lap it up. Also, a street preacher called Ruban who I'm sure has been chinned more times than he cracks on. Saddest thing of all, their kids will grow up believing this shite, and so the hatred continue.

Is there much basketball in it?

Is there much basketball in it?

Yeah. There is quite a bit of footage. Mostly from the famous Big East Tourneys of the 80's with HOFers Chris Mullens and Patrick Ewing. But there is also key footage of Georgetown and Villanova's NCAA tournament runs. Like I said, it made me pretty nostalgic.

Anyone into JFK stuff should watch "An interview with James Files" on youtube

YEah, he seems credible. Not. Even espousers of conspiracy and the authors thereof, such as Groden and Weisburg and others, all believe this bloke is full of shit

 

[Cheesy]

Watched "The Boy With No Brain" last night on Channel 5.

Baby born with just 2% of normal brain mass due to hydrocephalus in the womb. Also has spina bifida.

Incredibly he has survived even though doctors thought he wouldn't even be able to breathe on his own. Not only that, his brain has actually grown back to 80% of normal size.

Amazing :-)

Just watched it and to be honest it was a very lazy documentary. Didn't get close enough to those involved to add any fresh insight into their mindsets. The content of the hate speech isn't really shocking any more, everyone has seen Theroux's documentary on the same subject. And Theroux did it so much better. While people knock his style he does get close to his subjects and as such gets more from them.

The biggest opportunities were missed with the gay brother of the preacher who had been ostracised from his family (not interviewed at all) and the wife who seemed to me like she had been completely brainwashed and was entirely under his control. The film moved on very quickly from her when she had potential from the point of view of how these individuals control others. She wasn't brought up in that environment but had someone fallen into it but how this happened wasn't really explained.

And the big one for me is the money side of it. These guys must be raking it in. Millions of hits on YouTube, big audiences at lectures etc. I'd love to see a documentary put the financials under the microscope. After all, at the heart of all religion is money. Someone's always coining it.
