Beast by Name, Beast by Nature
It's a true crime documentary about a Canadian guy who taunted people over Facebook by killing cats. Then he upped this. It's actually a pretty cool documentary and insight into his mind and what he was trying to achieve.
After reading the details on it, I think I'll pass. Guy sounds like a sicko and a psychopath.
All the time I was thinking "well running out of soap won't be a problem".
Vice really do pick out the creepiest masks for their INFORMER series.

The thing is if you're into true crime documentaries that one is a pretty well produced one. I agree the guy was sick but the was the show was presented was good. And the way the people in the Facebook group worked together to investigate and try and solve themselves was astounding.
Luka Magnotta LOVED the movie Basic Instinct and wanted to be a movie star and what have you. The trouble that he went through to try and create this identity was crazy.

Short documentary based around Kenneth Grahame's home on the river Thames, and focusing on a golden willow which might have been an inspiration to him.
Narrated by Bill Paterson with a reading from Grahame's book by Alan Bennett.

1/2 The Oak Tree, Natures Greatest Survivor - August to February
August to February. Dr George McGavin. More content than the usual BBC commissioned 'emotional journey'. A little over-easy on the photogenic panning, but good documentary.

Don't know if I agree with the hypothesis but can't rule anything out. That's only a minor part of the documentary anyway but there's some great footage and discussion about the Baalbek megaliths.
The mysteries of Baalbek can not be explained by men with copper chisels and ropes, they didn't even have the technology of the wheel. Genesis 6:4 holds the answers to how these megalithic sites were created.

In this presentation, we journey across the word’s most iconic megalithic sites, exploring stone cutting techniques and technology was required to construct them.

@Howard Moon I reckon you'll really like Byblos in Lebanon. It's the world first civiclisation, and while it has it's fair share of ruins, they are no where near as monumental as the ones in Baalbek.
Byblos is also a vibrant coastal town that comes alive in Summer. Many tourists like to go there for the historical side of it.
The old meets the new as old buildings are transformed into modern shops with stalls for everything.
At night you get large open restaurants where crowds gather to eat and socialise.
The last time I went there was in the Summer of 2012, and when things get back to normal in the next 2-3 years, I'd really like to go back there.

So many vibrant colours!

Wow, what a beautiful location! That would be so much fun to explore and experience the local delicacies. I think one of the biggest things we lack here in Australia, at least in the cities is a proper market culture... I mean there's plenty of markets and everything but it should just be a normal thing that all people do.
