I followed a little red headed gal who lost both her babies in the daycare. I hope her and her husband are okay — as I do everyone.

We watched Becoming Led Zeppelin on Prime last night. Always fascinating to see how these famous bands got their start. Imagine going from one night where your promoter tells you that if this show doesn't hit, you're finished to suddenly having huge audiences and great reviews across America.

Saw Sergio Leone: The Man Who Invented America. Qiute a good documentary, full of interesting interviews with his children, people he worked with, Eastwood, Morricone, De Niro, Eli Wallach, Spielberg, Tarantino and Jennifer Connelly who remembered him very fondly when she did her acting debut as a 13 year old. How caring he was of her. (This in connection with a rather chaste kiss but it was Connellys first kiss ever so she was shy). Very interesting in bits and i got to see that magical combination of Leones sense for visuals and Morricones fantastic music. Made me want to see them all again.

We enjoyed the two-part Pee-Wee as Himself on Max. A complicated figure.

Very very interested in the new Oceangate doc coming Wednesday on netflix. 

FINALLY people are revealing the truth about this horrible narcissistic nutbag, Stockton Rush. Everyone was cautious in how they worded stuff when this tragic, avoidable murder happened. Not now. 

Most inventors are eccentrics.  I’d put James Cameron in that category. (I choose him as an example because they are in the same field of exploration). But the big difference I see between these men — James put no one at risk but himself. Stockton put everything and everyone at risk that he could for his ego.  

He is a murderer. Watch the trailer.

We watched the first two (of three) episodes of Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution, which was produced by the BBC but we found it on PBS.
