yeah, Capturing the Friedmans is really a disturbing documentary. I've heard people complain that it was almost too unbiased. I think that is a little silly though. I think it was the problem that it didn't give the viewers any answers just the evidence collected and the story as it happened.

That was definately a fucked up family, and there's no question the dad was what he was accused of more or less, but I've watched it several times, and I think that the charges were trumped up to almost as it alluded to a kind of mass hysteria.

The one witness who actaully went on record and film about the molstations seems to be turned on just talking about it, like it's fantasy, and he couldn't even keep his own stories straight. The overzealous cop lady who lied about the 'crime scene' and overwhelming lack of physical evidence really left me feeling that the whole thing got trumped into something horrible.

but still, the mother was a twat and the father was a pedophile.

I was really sucked into that doc because the whole story is pretty

Well said.

The story the lawyer told about his prison visit made me cringe a little. Several things made me cringe.

I finally got my hands on Dig as well. Terry has a copy, so I will be checking that out soon too.

Saw DIG! again yesterday. I really like that movie, it's really well done movie that they couldn't have been any luckier with time and events. It's a good view of the two paths you can travel in the music biz. I ended up with music from both bands stuck in my head.

After you watch it, we'll cut down Matt Hollywood together. You'll meet him in the movie.

did you and your dad ever talk about anything while watching the porn?
like maybe a scene brought a memory about something?
a story he had to share?

i remember reading that you and your dad watch porn together before. i wonder if other people did it with their parents too?

We'd laugh about scenes, but never really conversed about anything significant.
