Janis Joplin Little Blue girl. (I like that Joplin is noticed by Firefox spellcheck). I'm not much of a fan of blues, at least not the white, rocked out versions of it. I tend to like the derivatives a lot more. So, I've never been much into Joplin, and I have to say that the media has given a very different impression of her than this documentary revealed. That's sad in itself. She appears to have been a beautiful, sweet, extremely tortured person. The way people picked on her and bullied her made me angry. That fraternity newspaper prank was beyond disgusting. I hope every single person involved in that, and anyone else who does something similar to people, have a special place in hell waiting for them (not that I believe in hell, but you know). As sad as the doc was, there was also a great brightness to it. Cool woman.
Very well said!

I really enjoyed Fight Night last night. Good stuff.
Great matchups which led to great battles and happily, every fighter I was rooting for, recieved a victory. Bellator and WSOF, all too often have seriously lopsided match ups wherein beforehand, you know who will win. In the UFC, there is so much talent that it is common enough for the favored fighter to lose; just look at last night's card.
:D

Game of Thrones. I think this was episode 6. One of the weaker episodes in a while, and possibly the weakest episode of the spotty season.

SPOILER:
Dipping into the Mother of Dragons for grandiosity a little too often, which tells me they're grasping for quality story; falling on what they already have rather than further development. And her monologue was weak on top of it.

First episode of Preacher on AMC. Having once upon a time collected and read each comic of the series as well as knowing Seth Rogen was attached to the show, I was worried that it would be garbage. Knowing that AMC has turned out some pretty good entertainment the past few years, I had hope. I liked it, a lot. Very entertaining and well done. Looking forward to episode two. I guess there is life after Boardwalk Empire.
:D

It was a little too pulp for my tastes, but it was well done. Lots of Tarantino and Stone to be felt, which was done impressively.

Watched the last episode "Manhattan." I was surprised at how little attention the show got in general and at Fedora Lounge. Yes, you had to accept the very, very fast and loose historical accuracy, but the if you did that and just treated it as fiction using history as a jumping off point, it was a well-written story with interesting characters, talented actors and incredibly beautiful period sets and details.
