Joined in progress.
I’m basically including this one to catch any post New Year sports activity. What I’ve sampled so far (through Noon) doesn’t seem unusual for a Sunday, though there are some not bad movies in the afternoon and evening.
For instance tonight National Geographic is showing Restrepo: Afghan Outpost at 8 pm and again at 11 pm. It was recently reviewed by Dennis Hartley over at Hullabaloo (digby’s place)-
Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington’s no-frills portrait of one year in the life of a platoon deployed in Afghanistan is the most gut-wrenching and uncompromising piece of combat journalism I’ve seen since The World of Charlie Company (if you’re old enough to remember that one). There are no politics or voiceover narration to distract; just day-to-day life for a bunch of guys who want to do their duty, serve their tour and not get their asses shot off along the way. Saving Private Ryan and Platoon pale by comparison-this is the real deal.
I didn’t bother transferring the Amazon links.
This edition good until Noon. Now 3 pm. 6 pm. 8 pm. 11 pm. 2 am. Done, see you tomorrow for Prime Time.
