"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

White Bear is the name of the 5th episode of Black Mirror, and a particularly divisive one in the UK....

I'm probably gonna binge watch all of Netflix's Narcos this weekend. Halfway though, and it's pretty damn good so far.
Two episodes in, really enjoying it.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Just finished Ep #8 and I'm really surprised there are two more episodes.

I can't imagine this will be exceelent, but the dude who is the King was a fellow life guard at the pool I worked summers at all through college. Very nice, "anything for a laugh" kind of guy. Starts tonight but airs all week.

'Suddenly Royal' review: TLC's reality show about auto mechanic who believes he's a king is sweetly human
TLC’s latest reality series feels refreshingly human and rather charming.
Okay, it’s on TLC, so it still feels like the participants still have a few loose screws rattling around somewhere. Otherwise there’d be no show, would there, old chap?
David “Drew” Howe is a 45-year-old auto mechanic from Maryland who discovered in 2007 that his ancestry goes back to the last titled king of the Isle of Man, a small British island, in the 14th century.
So he claimed the monarchy for himself, by posting a notice in a British newspaper. When it went unchallenged, he declared himself the presumptive king.
Seven years later, he and his wife Pam saved enough quid to make the trip to claim the throne.
So they start out at the lower end of impoverished royalty, and David, in particular, has manners to match. His ability to “fit into” actual royalty about matches his ability to debate Stephen Hawkings on quantum physics.
All that said, we like him. He has no delusions about who he is, other than maybe the king part, and he’s funny. When his 12-year-old daughter Grace says she’s nervous about the trip, he asks her deadpan if maybe she should just “get all likkered up.”
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...
Season 2 of Fargo has started very well. Different era (late 70's / early 80's), amazing cast, and also a stylistic shift in direction ... but the same unmistakable Fargo world the Coen Bro's created 20 years ago. Getting a much better vibe from this than I did from True Detective 2.
