Cool, not an expert here but I'll see if I can add something.

Think I already posted some nice docs in the Movies thread, but I won't go back through my movie rants looking for them. I love you guys, but don't ask me to read my rants all over again, please. ;)

all of Ken Burns' documentaries are worth a watch. many of them can be found online. a friend told me he didnt think baseball was in any way interesting until he saw that doc Bones posted.

here's some that looked nice.

^ I only know one two things about Kate Bush: she was discovered by David Gilmour and had a relationship with the bass player of her band (the guy who played the fretless bass on Babooshka :D)

And the really funny thing is: I found that out 2 days ago, when I wanted to know what bass guitar the guy used in that song. Seems recently rho and I do many similar things. Must be the bad air here.

Impressive photos. Makes me aware what was orchestrated in Nuremberg when I walk the streets there, scary.
