Nick Offerman's book is pretty great, he actually studied with a Kabuki instructor at one point.

The rest of my comment got cut off some how

Saw Selma in theaters. Super conflicted reaction to it. Should caveat this with two things: 1) I literally had not even seen a trailer for Selma when I agreed to watch it, in fact I thought Selma was a band. 2) I loathe and abhor most dramas/tragedies. I don't need media to make me feel bad. So I was crying twenty minutes in and agree it's a great film in terms of how it demonstrates its subject and yeah, it probably didn't hurt for me to have to confront some of what happened. But I was mad that I went. Pissed. Hate getting to know characters only to see them die.

I have been feeling the same way lately, in fact when kleinbl00 mentioned Broadchurch it reminded me that it's a show that my wife watches. I just don't want to see it for the most part. Selma I feel can be given a pass (though I haven't seen it) because it's a historical drama. But a lot of the media seems to be centered around who can make the most horrific story and still get on the air.
