Yeah, it was really well done. Except I felt the filmmakers attempted to humanize Pablo Escobar as a man of the Colombian people. Like fuck he was. That dude was a monster. He was a ruthless criminal.

Aside from that, the documentary was exceptional.

Kevin, if you haven't already watched it, The History Channel had a spectacular documentary on Pablo Escobar's fall. The entire 10 parts of it are now on Youtube. Here is the first part:



The rest are on Youtube.

Haven't seen that one man, thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely watch it. I agree with what you're saying about the "humanizing Escobar" thing. I couldn't tell if they were specifically doing that or trying to show how well he manipulated the poor for his own personal gains. Either way, yeah that dude was a monster. I did feel bad for his family though, when the PEPE's started closing in on Escobar and going after them to flush him out... how they gutted Escobar's cousin (or brother, can't remember) in front of his wife, and murdered another family member in front of his kids. Fucking brutal!

what's espn? that some american thing?

Oh shit... yeah I forgot about "The U". That is definitely my 2nd favorite one. Good call.

Yep he was a man of the Colombian people, having a player shot for scoring an unintentional own-goal at the world cup, that's what the people wanted.. for him to be brutally murdered.

Twat.

What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

Incredible. One of the best made documentaries I've ever seen.
