Smartest people doing the dumbest shit at Khost. Fucking idiots

Zero Dark Thirty took a lot of liberties, but they definitely nailed the stupidity of that one.

That was unbelievable. So they all ran out to the car to greet him like he was grandma arriving for Christmas. No wonder it took 10 years to find that MF'er.

Linda Cardellini…who is an all-timer.
And Susan Sarandon…who is a hall-of-famer.
Saw it last night, liked it. I love food and family stuff, though.

I watched it last night with my daughter, and we enjoyed it.  I was confused about the review in the paper though.  Maybe it was because my brain was addled at 1:00 am, but I didn't understand who wrote it and when they ate at the restaurant.

Also, is it just me, or did Vince Vaughn look a lot older than he did in Bad Monkey?

American Manhunt: bin Laden is a-fucking-mazing. 
 

Netflix doesn’t miss on documentaries. 

Next time, you might include the fact that Admiral McRaven gets some significant screen time.  It might drive some more viewers that way.

The blonde chick in episode 1. I’d watch her documentary from her time at USC

I concur.

About to start episode 3. Fucking amazing that anyone had problems with the “enhanced interrogation techniques” we used at Guantanamo after what these fuckers did or tried to do.  The fact that KSM is still breathing is a fucking disgrace. 

The part I thought to be disgraceful and maybe overlooked was when all the bombing started not long after 9/11.  I'd be willing to bet a person in the "chain of command" to the POTUS did not clearly state why ground forces were so important.  Why that person didn't get the point across is the question.  Because of morality issues, public relations, political ambitions, etc.  we'll never know but there is a good chance Geronimo's escape could have been stopped right there.  Who was that person, do they sleep well at night, we'll never know.

Gold and Greed: The Hunt for Fenn’s Treasure

I remember hearing about this a couple of times when it was happening, but didn’t realize how crazy people got about it. The end is really fun. 

Who wants to go on a got damn treasure hunt!?!

Watched last night - I'd heard of it, bit it was wild how many people were obsessed with finding it.  Fun watch.  Not too long.  100% the sketchy old blonde was banging him.

Will watch tonight - assuming this refers to the battle in the Tora Bora mountains.  They had him cornered and cut off.  Sourced from guys on the ground, numerous books, testimony, etc. they had him and were essentially told to let him go and he slipped through the Pakistan border where he remained until his elimination.

That bin Laden doc was pretty good

I agree. Stumbled upon it by accident Saturday afternoon and watched all 3.

The bin Laden raid is always suspenseful no matter how many different ways you watch it.

Wish there’d be a time we’d see OBL himself from the raid before he’s shot.

Can’t believe they got 2 helicopters there and back. The White House correspondents dinner scene was funny, they were all probably hoping for Seth Meyers to STFU about OBL

I assumed the guy he visited at the radio station assigned another critic on staff to go visit it after eating the takeout Vince brought him.

Or it was some ratatouille moment

It had to be someone who ate there because the review talked about the family atmosphere, but the movie made it appear that nobody ever ate there except people that they knew. I don't know why this bothers me so much.
