Need something new to watch, so thought it was time for another of these. A couple to get things going.
Milius (2013) Feature length documentary about the man who gave us everything from “Feel lucky, punk?” to “I Love the smell of napalm in the morning” and much more besides. Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg et al line up to pay tribute.
Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLuPXfsCkWg
Youth Terror, the View From Behind the Gun (1978) ABC News documentary about youth crime in New York. One for fans of ’80 Blocks from Tiffany’s” etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDtvfQw1Dc
And before anyone says it: Couple of clips from the 1977/78 Thames series “This Sporting Land” Sadly, the second one’s silent stock footage, but you can’t have everything. Anyone on here spot themseves?

Saw two fascinating albeit somewhat depressing docs on prime tonight.
The first is Money Machine which tells the story of the Mandalay Bay shooting in 2017 and the alleged corruption that followed. Bet you didn't know that MGM sued the victims?! Pretty shocking stuff.
The second was Airline Disaster: Crash of the Century, which reconstructs the trail of happenings up to the tragedy that claimed 583 lives on the runway in Tenerife in 1977.
Just a bit of light hearted viewing for you!

Think there is a series called Snapped if you like your serial killers, well not "like" but you know what I mean. Most of the episodes about female killers but I am sure I caught episodes on Ted Bundy, Gacy and Rodney Alcala,. He was one dodgy fella and incredibly ended up on the US version of Blind Date in the middle of a murder spree, and won. Thankfully the female contestant thought him creepy and never went on the date.

That Detectives was superb I thought... bloke knew cameras were there otherwise he would have taken a right tasering and hiding... hence him playing up... reminded me of a bloke in the 90's in Southend who was very well known... people that know will know what I mean... anyway great start really enjoyed it.. one thing that gang did come across was massively dense.... I mean really stupidly thick...

Eastside. Maybe they did but for the cameras kept them out of place. I expect too that one of those coppers was a martial arts expert and could even take the likes of him out with the flick of his eye lash. The top cop did call for a " a big bloke as back up to come to the station. Though when he did turn up he wasn't that big.

Tend ro watch a lot of those ones ehere they show you how they catch killers and especially serial.killers ( morbid fascination, not looking for tips on how to avoid detection). Did anyone see the one a while back about the south African bloke who tried to kill his mrs by giving her a tampered with parachute.to do a skydive with.

Davey g 11.31 Yeah he did look a bit of a handful, I just kept thinking though every time he looked like he was going to kick off why they just simply get the tasers at the ready?

Eastside. That was some scary stuff on the Detectives. Really vicious thugs. The chief cops seemed to be totally scarfed of that Bostick character 6ft 6, wanted to thump or climb over over and assault anyone who he didn't like. How do you control him ? You wonder why the cops want greater laws against his sort. His solicitor was a right mong, Probably sucks his cock at every opportunity.

Whatever you watch, don't bother with the one recommended below about baseball. Its absolutely SHIT and he posted that for a joke to waste your time.
What does this have to do with West Ham, anyway?
