The HBO mini series, The Jinx* is hands down, the best documentary on HBO, ever.  (Historic as well, just stay tuned to LA daily news 2015-16.) However, at the moment, I just cannot get that opening track, called Fresh Blood by Eels, out of my head.   What a perfect choice for the title sequence by the brilliant filmmakers, Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling and Zachary Stuart-Ponier.  Brilliant. Fresh blood is an eerie, weird, bizarrely sexy, insanely visceral and balls-to-the-wall menacing as hell song that means business.

I can't bear to watch Dumbo, I can't sit through Like Water For Elephants, but to tell you the truth: This one story just flattens me. Please join us to help keep baby elephants in the wild.  Removing them as infants and selling them to other countries to be raised in cement zoo is cruel and inhumane. Please join forces to stop stealing baby elephants from their mothers to sell to other countries like China and Thailand.  Besides the money raised in places like Zimbabwe is going to fund terrorist groups like the Boko Haram. NO MORE POACHING ELEPHANTS! African elephant poaching has reached crisis level with about 100 African elephants poached every day for their ivory. In the midst of this crisis, Zimbabwe is exporting dozens of baby elephants to China for $60,000 each, while claiming overpopulation as the motivation for export. Three out of four elephant calves exported from Zimbabwe to China in 2012 have since died, and the same fate most likely awaits thi...

Published on Aug 29, 2013 Sergei Polunin, the youngest-ever principal ballet dancer for the Royal Ballet, reflects on his early trials and triumphs in a touching portrait directed by Jem Goulding.

Sergei Polunin rehearsing above piece, drunk. Oh, as if.  LOL.
