Hemingway

This one scratches an itch. I need some Ken Burns documentaries more than ever.

I remember once seeing a viral video that was made by a couple for their wedding. The video used the exact formula and style of "Drunk History" to recount the story of how the couple met and became a couple: with the storyteller drunk, they provide all the voices in a deliberately cheap-looking reenacment. Ken Burns has a pretty distinctive style too. That narrator. Who the heck is that guy? So many letters. I mean people think our future is bleak with the amount of collective time wasted to phone use. 100 years ago the old-timers must've been belly-aching about all the time the young generation wasted writing letters.

Go see it on PBS. It's classic stuff. I'm not even a big Hemingway fan or anything. Ken Burns just makes everything so interesting.
