American South documentary following Jim White's album of a similar name. The best insight into the South's culture and small town idiom that I've seen. Interspersed with music from the South and features the Handsome Family.

Sounds interesting. Lynyrd Skynrd's "God & Guns" was on the radio this morning, as part of a piece about USian gun culture.

There are a few guns in the documentary. In fact, there's a bit with a lone biker who's speaking to the camera about his upbringing/situation, then randomly pulls out a gun and shoots some bullets through a stop sign at the side of the road.

Aye. It's some scary stuff. I'd be happy to share the film if you want to give it a watch - how's your download quota nowadays? It's a ~3GB file...

How would I name drop the Handsome Family doing that?

I'm a fan of prolix and so fuck your rules. :C

Besides, I could easily have put (TWR) in the thread title and still been correct. But in that case you'd have got a nasty shock on opening the thread and seeing all those words, so to calm the nervous among us, I fully expanded my own interpretation of TWR and had it on show from the start so people would know what they're getting into before clicking on the thread, instead of being all expectant of a quick read, if say, they were being harried by a boss, running late for a train, or having to search for a pocket calculator because they really needed to find the cube root of 46656.

Thirty six is two words; that would not be correct.

Also, adding four or subtracting two both fix that waffle.

Why create two posts when I can do it in one?

I stand by my original point, as long as I make it obvious that what you're getting into is a 36 word review, then it's your choice whether to read that or not. So a quick synopsis it isn't, nor is it War and Peace.

I'm happy to see a bit of activity here nevertheless, whether that be extended word reviews of things, or a bit of nitpicking by the pernickety among us.

Just picked it up... can't wait! (may have to finish the original Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes first though, which is kind of like a Guy Ritchie version of Penny Dreadful :-D )
