Hey Miles, I'm realy sorry to have to tell you this but...You're not Jewish. The troupe is a bit lacking when it comes to opressed minorities, don't get me wrong homos, women and vegans certainly count but Jews, Blacks, Hispanics that's where the glamours realy at. With that in mind I was realy hoping for something more than a Jewish looking Sicilian, but that my friend is what you are. So...cope.
AND IN OTHER NEWS, XENOPHILIA NOMINATED FOR A THIRD SAMMY. VOTE HERE

As long as we're back on Documentaries, Wilco-I'm Trying To Break Your Heart and Sex With Strangers are both very nice. I thought Sorrow and the Pity was something Woody Allen made up. So it's a real thing eh?
I Can't wait for the ICBINC documentary! Behind the scenes with America's geekiest comedy troupe.

Keith--thanks for tha rec on Hell House--I visited the website and am all kinds of stoked to check this one out. And so, in no particular order, my all-time list of documentary greats...
Sorrow and the Pity--Max Ophuls (four hous of the French occupation, so bring a comfy pillow)
American Pimp--Hughes Bros. ('nuff said)
Anything by Michael Moore
Anything by Frederick Wiseman (I've only seen Titicut Follies and High School, but he's got dozens)
The 7 Up Series by Michael Apted (every 7 years he produces a new documentary on the lives of the same group of elementary classmates...he's now up to, I believe, 42 Up)
Saturn's Daughter--??? (weird bio of a Central Park transient and one-time game show contestant)
The Farm--??? (effective expose of southern prison with nation's largest death-row population)
My Brother's Keeper--??? (murder trial of three half-witted hermit brothers...kind of a date flick)
Gimme Shelter--Maysles Bros. (Best moment: Bill Graham calling Mick a...wait? can I say that?)
Say Amen, Somebody--??? (a little hot buttered gospel, y'all)
Cheers!

I must agree. The below recipe is a favorite, and the gas my poor long suffering girlfriend deals with after I eat it is also quite amusing, well, to me anyway. Sid is currently translating a 1950s Meat Lovers cookbook into vegan. Even though I'm the Vegan of the group I recognize this as sick and wrong.
