Ken Burn's The Vietnam War. I heard that there's a part where some guy becomes worshipped by the locals as some demigod, and then the guy with the "Born to Kill" helmet shoots a girl, a young Morpheus gets shot, and some guy talks about guns and bullets while on the loo. Can't wait for those parts, but so far, I'm digging it.

I find that surprising... seeing as how that's where you lost your legs.

Yup. Ken Burns is a highly acclaimed documentary filmmaker focusing on American history. The Vietnam War is a 10-part documentary of 1.5 hours each. There is a lot of stock film, photographs and interviews telling the story of the Vietnam war from soldiers on all sides, the political situation, and the civil and antiwar movements of the era.

The feeling I have from watching it so far is that it must have been so chaotic to live in that time period, and how so many of the mistakes made in that war are paralleled today in the Middle East.

Finished of series 3 of Fargo last night, and it's a happy return to form after series 2. Wonderful performances and cinematography all round, whilst retaining that unique Fargo feel.
David Thewlis in particular was a delectable cunt.

Started watching The Handmaid's Tale on hulu with the lady last weekend. Pretty good, pretty messed up situation they're living in. It's one of those shows where I can't watch more than one episode in a row.

I'm binge watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. I had already seen a bunch of episodes on TV, but never really in succession. The great thing about HIMYM is that there's an overarching story throughout the episodes which you miss out on if you see individual episodes.
