Our most famous actress is Alexis Texas. Search out some of her groundbreaking work.
Unfortunately lockout is knocking. A lot of time watching no-basketball stuff. I am looking for do entaries about Texas / San Antonio to learn more about the city / state who I cheer.
I'm from Poland (twice smaller than Texas) - here we have such inventions as television, iron, waffle iron, and even the internet, but worse with the do ents of Texas!
What can yout recommend to me? Can I watch it online somewhere or download? What is must-see material?
THANX

there are a lot of fats and lazys in tejas
Lonesome Dove - Not a doc but probably some of the best video you'll ever see and captures the craziness of Texans.
San Antonio's got Shawn Michaels and Summer Gau for celebs. Shawn Michaels has some docs.
The Education of Shelby Knox. It's a very good do entary about a Christian teenager in Lubbock,Texas who takes on the school board to try and get comprehensive sex ed for her school. Good stuff.
Here's a recent noteworthy quote from current Texas governor Rick Perry:
"There is hope for America, and we will find it on our knees"
and as ChumpDumper elegantly summarized:
All you need to know:
Our governor asks us to pray for rain
And our Coach mocks him: "Sorry, I have to go in and pray for rain because my governor told me to."
Liar, you don't have the internet.
This man has the connections.

I got it. Wrong forum
yes it kinda is. I'll move it to the Club.
... and the waffle iron was clearly invented in Belgium!
In all seriousness, this is an interesting question. We take Texas history in middle school and it's pretty interesting, but a good do entary? I don't know. I'll think about it.
Barbecue as history lesson.
No single film springs to mind but when you're talking Texas history (especially San Antonio history) then you damn sure better know the story of the Alamo. If you google or search on youtube for the subject I'm sure there's no shortage of stuff on line for viewing.
Beyond that, you might check out Friday Night Lights. Not a do entary, and to be honest I haven't actually seen it, but plenty of folks I know say it did the book justice. A "warts and all" look at small town Texas' love/obsession with high school football. If that proves too depressing then Varsity Blues (also not a do entary) is a slightly more upbeat take on the subject.
Gee, I'm glad his name wasn't Mohammed Perry-Al-Doohickey......
Never been to Kreuz, but Smitty's has incredible brisket.

Why don't you root for a polish team or any team from your country instead of an american team?
The same reason we don't shop in a America anymore we shop at Wall-mart.
If you lived in Australia are you saying you can't root for the Lakers?
so why can't a passionate Spurs fan come from Russia?
NBA is "world wide" I thought Manu fans knew that when they rooted for his team in the Olympics. what country was that?
Who said you had to wear a Coonskin cap to be a Spurs fan?
