Okay, so Dave decided that Cameron Diaz is worthy of 3 segments for some reason (alright, it's probably because she's showing a lot of leg tonight and her clip is of her character doing a car wash in tight clothing ) so he bumped Buck and went straight from Cameron to Eddie Vedder. Buck will probably be on another time. I'm not sure if I'll catch when, but if I do, I'll try to post.

He's coming on right now. That'll be 12:12am for those in other time zones looking to tune in later.

Saw 'Buck' Saturday and cannot recommend it highly enough. Not just for horse lovers by any means either... Based on Tina's enjoyment of the film, spouses that are hard to motivate on equine topics will be engaged.

I'll effort Buck Brannaman as an ATR guest this week too..

Thumbs up For those of you....

Who have not seen this film, it is now streaming on Netflix. I've just seen it myself, it's an amazing film. What an incredible man Buck Brannaman is, it is a very inspirational story. I certainly hope the Academy will remember this picture when the nominations are announced. See it if you haven't, it's terrific.

I saw it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it too.

I have been around all types of horses, and have never seen anything like that crazy horse . The lady that owned him said she had like 18 more studs at home that just run together...

it's on the short list. and well deservedly.

i don't think you even have to care about horses in particular to appreciate his story. they were his path to healing but it could have been a different path and the story would be just as remarkable.

but with the exception of "man on wire" in 2008, documentary features that are stories of individuals don't generally do well. it's mainly stories of "social significance" (inside story, the cove, taxi to the dark side, an inconvenient truth, born into brothels, the fog of war, etc.) that make the final 5 and particularly get the win.

i hope it gets a nomination just so a few more people will see the movie. but i'm not expecting it.
