(Standing) Ovation



so i've been a little addicted to this new channel on directv (channel 275) called Ovation. it's a bit nerdy.....sort of a cross between IFC, Bravo & PBS, except it's focused on the arts. they cover everything from the famous to the obscure with specialty. it's not just a documentary about Richard Serra.....it's a documentary about how he got his damn sculptures in the MOMA for his retrospective. other times, it's like watching a Christopher Guest movie or an educational Project Runway. i mean really, i watched an entire episode on ventriloquism. how creepy is that? yet i could not pull myself away. anyhow, i highly recommend it. take a peek at their website below:

Any excuse to mention Christopher Guest & ventriloquism in the same paragraph is always a good thing.
