You Don't Know Jack

[BrownOut]

Premier in about an hour on HBO. I can hardly wait. If it lives up to the level of other HBO docu-dramas (Recount, John Adams) it should be another home run. And best of all, Dr. Jack himself is played by the great Al Pachino! Hoo-Yaw!

Ha, that's what you think. I may not know Jack, but I know Jill

She never did go up the Hill. She went down it

.......with me

Ok, ok get your mind out of the gutter; we took the train to Boston


Edit: We are talking Kevorkian right?

A documentary about committing suicide? Or about helping other people die, who would have killed themselves anyway? Will they show actually footage of people ending it, or just re-enactments of the deed? No biggy, no cable TV...

They should do a show on recent Nobel Prize winners from America. Still a mystery to me, both probably bought their prizes off Ebay...

It was a biggie. A very big biggie. Great documentary! Pachino was terrific, as always. Gold star for HBO!

Is Kevorkian still alive? Prison? Had heard much since his court days. Wonder if they let him out in the general population, or kept him isolated (so he couldn't help depressed inmates find peace, which wouldn't have been a bad thing). Or being a doctor, perhaps he was in charge of the lethal injection team...

But seriously, I think he should have been allow to assist in suicides, much cleaner way, than most choose these days. Plus, there have been suicides that took a few unwilling people with them. Not to mention the unpleasant trend of using the police, as firing squad. I'm sure apartment neighbors would rather get the body out quickly, rather than have to 'discover' it days/weeks later...

He was released from prison a couple years ago, after serving 8 years of a 10 years sentence. I've seen him giving interviews lately, and he seems to be in pretty good condition. Don't think he is practicing anymore though.
