Hookers at the Point HBO Documentary

I just finished watching THIS and it's a good one. I've been on documentaries all night, couldn't sleep again. This one kind of got to me. This shit is not safe for work, btw, or probably home either, it's graphic and in parts, gross. But, I always approach these things without much judgement. I mean, if anyone has ever offered you a whole lot of cash to do something you never would have thought up yourself, and you shout, NO!, instantly because your morals are so high and you're late for your bible studies or whatever, good for you. Me, I always was amazed and it took a few seconds to sink in and mull about..and then say, no, thank you, because you know you can never take that shit back. Once a ho, always a ho.

But, part of me (on bitter days) thinks those Manhattan hookers and madams have the right game. They may have played it right. THESE hos, in this documentary, are some sad ass dumb shits for the most part. How the fuck are you gonna sit there and talk shit about 'easy' money and 'the finer things in life' when you can't even repair your used car? That $20 bucks a pop shit is retarded. Walkin' around in freezing cold with your bare ass hanging out all night?? For $20 bucks a pop? And some of them give most of it to their pimp anyhow?? You have to be kidding me. That sounds far from easy money, that sounds like a whole lotta work. In fact, it sounds like charity. Everything they earn should be deductible. Stay in school, learn basic addition and subtraction. You know they have schools in the Bronx. If they didn't, we wouldn't have gotten all those great, cough, made for TV movies I remember.

I started out with THIS, its 'Taxi, To The Dark Side' about the atrocities of Bagram and Gitmo and the Bush administration's bending or re-writing of the Geneva Convention rules. Because the maker of that film, Alex Gibney, has a new one coming out that's getting major buzz and it's all about Scientology. I'd never sat down and watched it (Taxi) before. It's informative..and gross. Sometimes, I just play follow the links all night. You'd think I'd get smarter, wouldn't you? Some one should make a documentary about that. They could call it, 'Dim Bulb Up All Night' , (aka, never gets brighter).
