les yeux dans les bleus...

bit tough if you don't understand french, but its all about the french soccer team during the 1998 world cup. Really interesting to see them training, hanging out during off time, and they brought the cameras on field during games. Really cool to follow a team from the start to winning the final.

I'm sure most of you have watched Band of Brothers one way or the other, but the DVD box set comes with extras including interviews with the people that were there and a lot of insight from the vets

Are there any good ones on gun control / gun ownership besides bowling for columbine. Doesn't matter what side of the issue the doc takes, left or right, I'd find it interesting.

Ok, just as long as you say its one sided. I used to love obama, but then I found out things like Bagram air base, I like is domestic policy, but I hate how he is continue things that he said would end.

I'm actually okay with those, plus he doesn't even have direct control over all mandates, he cant pass bills by himself.

Congratulations. Your the first person I've ever met that enjoys someone of authority forcing you to spend your own money on something you may or may not want. Legit the first person I've ever met. I'm not just being an ass.

Well, I like his mandates, so I can't just assume that all people will like them, so when I dont feel a mandate is right, I suck it up, I might try to push a different direction, but overall, I am not the one making decisions.

So, its not htat I like mandates, its that I will put up with them, and sometimes I like what they do.

Inconvienent truth is NWO propaganda. Gore has made 100 million of his global warming idea. Planet earth is unreal though.

I've watched too many good ones to tell you, but basically every space / ufo related one ever, and a ton of random ones that were really neat.

Oh, and /thread with that link

carts of darkness is DOPE

i dont know the specific names of them, but there is a wu-tang documentary i thought was pretty sweet, theres also a really great graffitti one out there thats about the evolution of different styles and important people and shit. it was pretty sick.

also, if any of you are into watersports at all, watch the parks bonifay documentary. its dope.

Man on Wire (as said previous) but repeated cause its real good.


Beer Wars: Talks about how the big beer companies Anheiser Busch and Miller/Coors dominate the beer market and shoving microbreweries out of business. Highly recommend
