I know that Randi has a few fans here, so this might be of interest. There’s a Kickstarter campaign going on right now for a documentary titled  
An Honest Liar: The Amazing Randi Story. Here’s the description from the site:

> An Honest Liar profiles the colorful life of famed magician turned professional skeptic James “The Amazing” Randi as he embarks on a series of public crusades to expose America’s psychics, faith healers and con artists with religious fervor. But you never know whether to trust a master deceiver - and there’s more to Randi’s life than meets the eye.

This looks cool enough that I threw in for a download copy.
