-Catfish
-Through the Gift Shop
-One about some people who think they are super heroes
-Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of Toynbee Tiles
-There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane

ETA (have also recently seen Cocaine Cowboys, The one about the Whites of WV, and Art of the Steal)

Dear Zachary


Don't think I can watch this one.

Does this cover the eventual outcome as well?

Oh shite, I forgot all about king of kong. If they ever make a real movie based on this story, Ben Stiller would be the perfect douchebag.

I need to watch The Bridge, about the Golden Gate bridge and the number of people that committ suicide on it each year. When we were there in August, we were driving over it, and I was telling my wife and the couple that were with us about it, and as we got half way across the other side of the bridge was stopped because there was a guy hanging over the side and police were trying to talk to him.

We tried finding out if anything happened, and talked to a local and they said that they never report it anymore because of the number of them.

Ok thread highjack finished.
