cblj_backupI am at R's place tonight for pizza and bad documentary television, despite the fact that it's zero degrees out, -22 if you factor in wind chill. I couldn't resist going somewhere with central air and hot pepperoni pizza.
We were watching youtube videos of famous court trials, because why wouldn't you, when we got to talking about "crime porn" -- cheesy, cheap documentaries that lovingly re-enact real-life murders, complete with detailed death scenes. I don't even pretend these have any value; they are probably a signficant detriment to society. But they're also fascinating, and Behind Mansion Walls is both the best and the worst of murder porn. It's hosted by a guy who is so douchey that by the third season he's being filmed against a green screen so they can project him into a cocktail party he's not even attending.
Every time a dude comes on the screen, R says "HE DID IT." Sad thing is, he's almost always right.
Now we're watching a documentary on the FBI breakin in 1971, and R pointed to a map that came on the screen and said "I've been high EVERYWHERE ON THAT MAP."
In not-at-all-news: J. Edgar Hoover was an asshole, y/y.

Sorry.

Date: 2014-01-29 04:18 am (UTC)... let's just say that certain sex scenes (hurrah! aubade! And Neal's sheet thinking it's in a Renaissance painting!) and the potential for identity porn (where both people are trying to con each other, deaaar god) would be... well, I shan't say right up your alley, but I will say SOMEBODY ought to be writing ALL the fic....
Yeah, sorry for going nuts on your lj the other day; feeling slightly saner this morning.
