IGY, watch Mr Untouchable about Nicky Barnes.  I knew quite a bit from reading books, but its always cool to see the old pics and his views

yep, it wasnt great by any measure, but it does a good job explaining the era. 

I watched some doc called "A Very British Gangster" it stunk, it was about some guy who runs Manchester, but the dude was a poptart

"Medal of Honor" was the PBS special, but the instant version cut off at 60 mins and you didnt get to see all of it. 

The wife and i watched "The Rocket" about Maurice Richard, it was pretty  good, but was a frog movie with english piped in.  Its funny how the Habs never got the calls back in the day, and how things have changed.

ive been watching it lately on DVD, probably for the 8th time at least.  Just an amazing series, and as i said somewhere in this or the tv thread.  Spielberg/Hanks are putting out the miniseries "The Pacific" which obviously is the war focued on Iwo Jima/GualdalCanal and so on.  It's done shooting, and is currently being cut last time i saw.  I cant wait

Roots or BOB?

BOB

although a mini-series about a group of shiftless thugs who finally get put to work does sound good

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
