The National Film Board of Canada has a whole lot of free streaming video at their site. They've just released the 1998 documentary, Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows, about the life and career of Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and especially about the controversy that unfolded in front of the camera, the fabled 1997 Montreal screwjob involving Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon.

Even if you're not a wrestling fan, it's a compelling piece of film. If you are a wrestling fan, it's required viewing.

Any kewl indie video we need to see? Link 'em up.

The Whiner vs. The Evil Mastermind

I don't particularly sympathize with either of them.

It was a crappy situation where a good outcome wasn't possible.

It was what it was, it's done, get over it and let it go.

Indie video? Well, there's a relatively new webisode (I hate saying that word) at http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com that seemed worth watching... three times this morning alone.

"Sita Sings the Blues" is enjoyable, and you can download it for free under creative commons, though most people I've sent this link to plan on buying the DVD when it comes out:

I remember enjoying the Hart film very much. I'll have to watch it again. Meantime, here's a link to one of my all-time favorite documentaries, Hearts and Minds (1975):
