Man on Wire

I thought we had Disc 3 of Season 1 of The Wire in from Netflix, but it turned out we had Man on Wire, a documentary about Philippe Pettite, the David Bowie looking muthafucka who strung up a wire between the Twin Towers in 1974 and walked between them. It was a good film, but the film itself pales beside the still archival footage of the walk, which is itself a pale shadow of its idea. Without a doubt, the most absurd and singular thing anyone has ever done. Most likely.
