No, it’s not good.

Anyone else watching The Dark Charisma Of Adolf Hitler series on BBC2.

Well worth watching, very well put together

Watched Inside Job there recently, thought it was a good watch.

for the American football fans or even anyone interested in sports, undefeated is out now on torrents. here is a stream site for it. http://www.putlocker.com/file/E86D4A1F3FF435AF

This is a quality documentary, well worth spending an hour and a half watching it, it’s called Beyond the Mat. It goes into the darker aspects of life for those involved in American pro wrestling, really makes you applaude the sacrifices these lads make even if it is all choreographed.

Beyond the Mat is seminal stuff. A truly great documentary.

Here’s one on a 19-year old Zlatan helping Malmo try to get out of the second division. Filmed in that existentialist, minimal Euro-style.

That was posted on the Zlatan thread before, decent watch.

I had hoped and presumed so but posted it nevertheless.

I watched this the other day. I must confess to not being a big Pogues fan for most of my life. But I am now. A truly wonderful, Irish band.

I watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mc Gowan is a national treasure and the greatest songwriter / poet of our generation in my mind. Here are a few more interviews with the great man. The first one with Frank Skinner is very funny. The other two, with Danny Baker and Gay Byrne, serve only to remind us the horrible cuntishness of both interviewers, how Mc Gowan didn’t deck Baker I’ll never know, the lovely Cáit O Riordan treats Byrne with contempt he deserves.

Christ, Byrne is a stupid cunt.

Shane McGowan is one if the finest poets of the past 30+ years, he just happened to put it to music.

Probably oldish radio documentary on a lad who was bringing tapes of the Sunday Game to London every weekend in the 80s. Well worth a listen I’ve been assured, haven’t had a chance to listen myself yet.

I saw the documentary ‘McCullin’ the other night down in Smithfield.

Great show about the war photograpgher Don McCullin. Fairly harrowing at times but compelling viewing.

Stumbled across this short radio documentary about Wexford rissoles last night:

Not a great documentary but a fascinating subject-a good Peter Green documentary would be welcome.
