I know my first name is Steven.
I've seen it before, I remember seeing it over 2 nights at the restaurant in the holiday apartments in Spain when I was about 10. The story really stuck with me. I was probably too young to see it.

When you look into the story, it is fucking tragic. Steven Stayner got killed on his motorbike a few years after he got home, the little lad he rescued is dead. His brother became a serial killer, its been alleged that his dad abused his sisters...The kidnapper got out and carried molesting kids.. Tragic.

Spotted Bryan Cranston in it briefly as a cop. Apparently, the real Steven Stayner is in it as a coptoo.

Celtics vs Nets. First time Pierce and Garnett are playing back in Boston since being traded to the Nets last off-season. If you are a Celts fan, it's going to be kinda emotional...look to see a few tears trickling down the cheeks of Pierce, maybe Garnett, and definitely many fans of the Celts.

It's on ESPN. Start time is 3:30 west coast, 6:30 east coast.

I thought it was an alright film, but it did seem to be trying a bit to hard to make London council estates into "The projects".

Binging on X Files through Netflix and fighting them every day! Netflix keeps rotating episodes, and they claimed that is not the case but they are lying! 'cause I just talked to them again for the 5th time and it's still not fixed.

I watched The Human Centipede 2 last night. I don't really know what to say about it.
The actor in the main role is bloody brilliant. He doesn't have 1 line throughout the whole film, so everything is expressed on his face. Worth watching for that, if you've got the stomach for it. Not a pleasant film, and it does really step up the torture porn element of it compared with the 1st film. It is shot in a very leering manner in some of the "assembly" scenes.

Cold Lazarus.
1823.jpg

From the mid 90s, made by the beeb. It is Dennis Potters last work. To fully get it, you need to see the other mini series "Karaoke" 1st, but that isn't as good as CL.
It and Karaoke are both available for viewing at channel 4s 4od service, but you will need to use a VPN if outside the UK, and you have to register.

Here is the plot, cut from wikipedia
Cold Lazarus is set in the 24th century, in a dystopian Britain where the ruined streets are unsafe, and where society is run by American oligarchs in charge of powerful commercial corporations. Experiences are almost all virtual, and anything deemed authentic (such as coffee and cigarettes) has either been banned or replaced by synthetic substitutes.
At a cryogenic research institute in London, funded by the pharmaceuticals tycoon Martina Masdon (played by Diane Ladd), a group of scientists led by Dr. Emma Porlock (Frances de la Tour) is working on reviving the mind of the 20th century writer Daniel Feeld (Albert Finney), whose head was frozen after Feeld's death at the end of "Karaoke". Unable to see any profit in the project, Masdon considers discontinuing it, but the media mogul David Siltz (Henry Goodman), who has been spying on Masdon, envisages making a fortune from broadcasting Feeld's memories on TV, and proposes to Porlock that her team work for him.
Porlock is unaware that a member of her team, Fyodor Glazunov (Ciarán Hinds) is a member of the resistance group RON (‘Reality Or Nothing’), which attempts to undermine the reliance of society upon advanced technology by carrying out violent attacks. Glazunov identifies Kaya, another of Porlock's team, as a potential recruit to his superior Andrew Milton (David Foxxe), but Milton kills Kaya, believing her unsuitable. Angered by Kaya's murder, Glazunov kills Milton. Porlock then discovers the truth about Glazunov but, to distract him from the possibility of killing her, consults with him about the Siltz deal. Glazunov approves of the broadcast of Feeld's memories, which he believes might provoke a revolt against the 'inauthentic' life propagated by the authorities. It is shortly after this that Porlock accepts Siltz's offer, just as Masdon realises the potential of the Lazarus project.
As more of Feeld's thoughts and memories are unearthed, it becomes evident not only that Feeld's mind is conscious of its predicament, but also that Feeld is attempting to communicate with the scientists, and is pleading to be allowed to die. At this point Glazunov, Porlock and Luanda Partington (another long standing member of the team) begin to doubt the morality of their project. Another of their team, Watson, having been coerced into informing on his colleagues, unwittingly denounces Glazunov as a RON member and saboteur. Having been warned, Glazunov heads for the laboratory to put Feeld out of his misery. In the confrontation that ensues, Glazunov is able to kill Siltz, and, after a final communication with Feeld, destroy the laboratory, Feeld's head, and himself, in the process
