louis theroux

louis

today while eating lunch I discovered louis theroux. how have a missed this guy? he’s television documentaries (at least the two i watched during lunch) seem to be real gems. today i watched “the most hated family in america” about the VERY screwed up church westboro baptist and part of his “weird weekend” episode on black nationalism. they were both wonderful explorations of parts of society that i would never want to be a part of but i still found his time within them fascinating. i’ll be watching more of his work.

pam and i finally watched “the social network” and found it to be a really compelling movie. what a wonderfully told story of success, failure, betrayal, and drive. it was amazing.
