It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
A programme about Tibetan sky burial
Dead bodies are laid to pieces or laid whole and then allowed to be eaten by birds, which is known as sky burial
This tradition occurs in Tibet, this is because the climate is cold, it is not easy for the body to rot, so this is done. But it is only done on people who are considered good and when they die old age, naturally, not because of disease.
With the thought, the body of the deceased is of no use at all, better given to the needy, in this case given to birds that need food. So that even if he/she dies, he/she can still benefit other beings.

Hawkeye was a fun Marvel series taking over the Christmas period. He plays a reluctant hero who has a young obnoxious side kick helping him with a mission that involves both their lives.
There is a very funny scene with Live Action Role Play (LARP), never heard of it before, in the park. He is still managing his demons such as Black Widow dying and he has a realistic disability that he has to manage life with.
Well worth a watch.

Watched the last film in the Coen brothers 'The Ballad of Buster Scraggs' Western Anthology yesterday. Brillant stuff and would not hesitate to recommend. All 6 films hit the mark but the first film (The ballad of Buster Scruggs) was hilarious and pretty dark, and probably my favourite. Meal Ticket has an amazing performance from Harry Melling (apparently he was in Harry Potter) as the quadruple amputee actor/artist and 'All Gold Canyon' and 'The girl who got rattled' are brilliant in their own Coen brothers way also.

Anybody see 'The Tourist' on the BBC (it's on iPlayer now)
Well shot, well directed and with some good dialogue. Jamie Dornan wakes up in Australia with amnesia after a car crash and tries to find out what's going on. A bit like Novak Djokovic really.
very good and worth watching.
IMHO, Dornan would make a very good James Bond!

Hit Monkey was about a Japanese monkey who is an assassin. I know it sounds absurd but is actually very good animation series that is in the Marvel Universe. The art is very good and the characters funny. It is graphic and adult jokes are used.
