Documentaries

Why do bands have to film a documentary about creating an album...
And why does that album always suck?!

Does a good documentary exist? Is a good album produced while the filming takes place?

Fireman dresses as Spider-Man to rescue boy
Comic-loving autistic kid on balcony had refused to let others near him.


BANGKOK - A Thai firefighter dressed as Spider-Man to rescue an autistic boy who climbed onto a third-floor balcony and dangled his legs over the side because he was nervous on his first day of school.
Firefighter Somchai Yoosabai was called in after the 11-year-old boy's teachers and mother failed to coax him off the ledge on Monday, he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
"He was nervous about the first day at school, and he was asking for his mother," Somchai said. "He cried and refused to let any of us get close to him."

Overhearing a conversation between the boy's mother and his teachers about his love for comics and superheroes, Somchai rushed back to the fire station to change into a Spider-Man costume before swinging into action.
"I told him Spider-Man is here to save you. No monster will hurt you now," Somchai said. "Then I told him to walk slowly toward me. I was very nervous that he might have slipped if he got too excited and ran."
Somchai, who keeps costume of Spider-Man and a Japanese superhero Ultraman to liven up fire drills at schools, said the teary-eyed boy broke into a smile and started walking into his arms.

Cleaning up Ol' Detroit


OH MY GOD!
I know this is old, but...
What fantastical things does the future hold?
I know that ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has helped in the laying waste and devastation of the city that is known as Motown, but check out the new, improved RoboCop. He will save us from the evil tyranny and help clean up good old Detroit. Sensors, advanced weaponry, and nanotechnology are the future. I knew I should've taken more science classes when I was in school. Oh well... it's too late now. So let me see.. super strength, Predator-Camouflage, and holy...! I wouldn't want to be at the end of a 5 (that's right 5) barreled pistol. With guided munitions too boot! Do you remember the movie Runaway? Anyways, as long as they don't put that crappy jet pack on him, I think he would command the type of respect a nanotechnology enhanced, super hero with a 5 Barrelled pistol respects. I know I wouldn't smoke in a No Smoking Zone.
