unauthorised mcr documentary

All the discussion about the Panic unauthorised doco (oh brent :( I feel so bad for him now), reminded me about this superb example of documentary making.

Released before The Black Parade came out, it includes interviews with the guys from Eyeball Records and John Naclerio (who recorded Bullets, and whose stories are my favourite part of it) plus the usual crowd of other people with thoughts on MCR but no real connections (I'm being harsh, I quite like one of the radio djs who they interview).

Entertaining enough, in a trashy and occasionally WRONG way, if you can endure the British narrator mispronouncing Gerard the entire time.

I am having such a lazy day, but turns out I really needed it. Plus, need my energy for the rugby semi-final tonight. C'mon the Waratahs! And go the Hurricanes, in the other match :)

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO

WE WON!!!! The NSW Waratahs thrashed the Sharks, 28-13, and it was actually more one-sided than the scoreline suggests. FOUR TRIES! A standing ovation for Phil Waugh when he went off during the second half - it was the captain's 100th game for NSW, and he's awesome. And a sweet last home victory for the outgoing coach, Ewan McKenzie, who's been dumped by the fuckwits who theoretically run NSW rugby.

We meet the Crusaders in the final, sadly in Christchurch, we could have had a home final if the Hurricanes had won, alas. I'm a bit worried about our goalkicking - Beale only managed 2 from 7 this week, and 3 from 7 last week. Odds are against us anyway, playing the Crusaders and at home in Christchurch (we've never won there much), but if we can't even kick penalties and convert tries, we're even more screwed. But that's for next week, this week, I'm just...
