    Watched a couple of documentaries over the weekend .

    The Newtown - about the Killing in an American school of 20 odd first graders . My wife is a teacher with Junior infants so it was easy to relate to but hard to watch especially when the families spoke.

    Audrey and Daisy- About young girls in America who were rapped at these Frape
    Parties etc. Again hard to watch .

    I said to the wife at the weekend , isn't it strange that most of these documentaries that are out there at the moment resolve around the Americans .

    Having watched the Jinx over the weekend I'm starting to think there's a lot of truth in that statement. But it's also a wonderful country with a lot of very nice people and some amazing sights, a mixed bag if ever there was one.

    Watched two documentaries over the weekend both were excellent



    A really long documentary at over three hours but the behind the scenes footage was fantastic. Of course any documentaries recently that has Alex Gibney involved always seems to be good. Was in the RDS in May '96 when they played Dublin. It was a great night.

    HBO Risky Drinking

    Watched Zero Days there this afternoon - doc about the Stuxnet virus and the fallout from it. Very good bar one really annoying bitch in it that
    is revealed to be an actress - something that was plainly obvious the moment she started talking due to how overstated and over-dramatic she was
    .

    If you've never heard of StuxNet I highly recommend reading this article. It's an excellent read that gives an insight into how cyber warfare is carried out and the dangers is poses. The Zero Days doc is more up to date but the article below is still a fantastic read. I've linked to it before.

    Been available on one of the usual suspects sites for quite a while.
    It's not bad but Louis' 'annoying naive prick' routine is really starting to annoy me as well as the interviewees.
    I said to my wife a few weeks back when watching Tom Cruise being interviewed "I bet he's got a serious temper on him when the cameras are not around".
    After watching the doc, I still think that.
    I deffo think he will be the next leader of that 'church'.

    The Diaz fella is something else but the Cop, well he was a crazy bastard. He just didn't give a shit . And was Brazen as hell. He would be a interesting lad to have a pint with.

    I'd say his prison time was hell , a cope been in prison is never good .

    Snitches get Stiches !!!
