Is that the Jeopardy winning guy who was also a nightclub bouncer?
I liked the episode with Temple Grandin. I should purchase this set.

There was a great
interview with Errol Morris in the Onion last fall.

I just re-watched First Person in its entirety a couple of weeks ago. I agree that some of the episodes are absolutely fucking great.
Rick Rosner bears a physical resemblence to Michael Dahlquist:

Michael looked better shirtless and with garden gloves though.

I've only seen the Thin Blue Line and the Fog of War. Based on those two documentaries: not crap.

Not Crap, obviously.
He's got a new film coming out called
S.O.P. a.k.a.
Standard Operating Procedure. Its world preimere is this coming February at the Berlinale, and it'll be a part of the official competition.
Famous documentary filmmaker and Oscar-winner Errol Morris investigates the scandals surrounding human rights violations at the Abu Ghraib prison complex near Baghdad and investigates what’s behind the so-called “anti-terror war”.
I bet this movie will rule.

i saw a part of "fast cheap" and the mtvish editing stylization of it really grated on me.

The guitar-playing caretaker in 'Gates of Heaven' is pretty classic; I haven't check out much else, but I will now.

Mr. Death and Vernon Florida are great. Fog of War just made me sad and reminded me of the arrogance of Donald Rumsfeld in recent years and how we learned nothing from Vietnam.
