Watching Muscle Shoals right now. Five minutes in and Keith Richard's and that Grateful Dead woman's casual interview clothing either denotes they can do whatever they want or they feel washed up.

The Nightmare

Documentary on sleep paralysis by the guy who did Room 237 (another intriguing doc). It's made up of interviews and dramatizations of these people's horrific experiences involving SP. It's not scientific in the slightest and imo operates more as horror film than an informative documentary. Still a great film though.

I'm currently reading Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World" which, among other things, explores the phenomenon of sleep paralysis in connection with alleged demonic and alien abductions. Pretty interesting stuff.

I'll have to check that out. They mention both of those things in the film.

I probably stand alone here... but does anyone else love Disney Nature documentaries? The visuals on Wings of Life are an absolute feast for the eyes, even if the narration is geared toward a younger audience.

Brilliant doc about French street football.

How is Finding Neverland, Fluff? I don't care for Michael Jackson's music, should I watch it anyway?
