Documentaries

[Tadao]

I love documentaries and now I have the Documentary channel. Anybody have any favorites? I recommend King Corn to all peoples.

[Tadao]

Right now I'm watching Prophets Rising and it scares me.

[Pentegarn]

I like Planet Earth

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Especially in High Definition.

[Mockery]

Paradise Lost - The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills

A fantastic documentary and well worth your time.

[Tadao]

The Prophets on was so horibbly disturbing. It was like the Bible Camp one. I think that shit scares me more than an horror flick.

I IMDBed Paradise Lost - The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, it reminds me of a thing I saw on vampire teens. I'm sure I'm sure it's different though. Probably not. I'm all confused from 2 hours of god. :(

[The Leader]

Oh goodness.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_and_Daniel_Johnston)
Outsider art + music + early mtv = magic

The Weather Underground (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weather_Underground)
It really covers the history of the group, or at least the more active years.

Crumb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumb_(film))
Fat bottomed girls is what he likes.

The Fog of War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fog_of_War)
McNamara wasn't that bad. :(

[Tadao]

My BFF says I write music like Daniel Johnston. I have ye to see the documentary. :(

[darkvare]

i like the taboo series on national geographic and pretty much everything tha has to do with insects and also the one about the chinnese elephant man

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've watched a few episodes of Taboo as well.

[Supafly345]

A good one I watched recently was "For the Bible tells me so" and it outlines how the 'family values' of the christian anti-gay sentiment was invented outside of the bible and shoe-horned the meaning into bible verses and stories that meant entirely seperate things.

I think most chain video rental places would have it. Send someone to fetch it for you.

I've always liked From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0295270/) too. I still have the same VHS copy from when I was a toddler. :)

[Babs]

Watch Hoop Dreams, the movie is amazing in all parts. Hands down best documentary ever made.

[whoreable]

king of kong was fun to watch. I like anvil: the story of anvil too

[Supafly345]

AMERICAN MOVIE
And yeah, Anvil:The story of Anvil was one of the best movies that came out last year.

[Tadao]

Is that about the band Anvil? I saw a 15 minute snipet on it on Doc Chanel.

[Fathom Zero]

Anvil is just stupid, though.

[Wiffles]

I like History Channel. Basicaly any documentary with tanks and planes. I also like documentaries about Asia. Esp India and China, such interesting places. ( ' - ')

Did you catch Russia: Land of the Czars? It was pretty good.

[Babs]

You can try and watch Jesus Camp (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486358/) that is if you don't get sick after the first 5 or so minutes of watching it.

[Burger Lord]

Anyone kinda miss the way The Learning Channel and Discovery Channel used to be before it became nothing but 24 hours of shitty job shows? I could watch maybe a special or two on Ice road truckers, or crab fishing but damn, seasons of that?

[Fathom Zero]

YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT MAN
Man on Wire

I'd like that a lot more if I didn't know the Frenchie was such a complete douchebag. It's that thing where because someone cool is an ass, so they're not as cool to you anymore. :\

[bigtimecow]

zoo

its about the dude in that internet video "mr hands" (gets boned by a horse). really good

I totally forgot about that documentary. I would have to second in advising that, just god damn bazaar.

Thank you for saying that. And it isn't just those two either. When's the last time you saw music videos on MTV? Why is it that Cartoon Network is playing live action shows? I expect to see the movie Testament on Comedy Central next at this rate.

[EverythingWillSuck]

I'm sure lots of people have already seen it, but Lost in La Mancha is a pretty entertaining one. It's about the development of Terry Gilliam's failed Don Quixote movie. Aka what not to do whenever you develop a movie, or hell, anything.

Startup.com is another one off the top of my head worth watching. It was about two guys who start up a site during the dotcom boom of the late 90's. It's pretty obvious how it ends but it's pretty striking to see them be some of the richest guys in the country at one point.

[Grislygus]

Fack, I forgot about Lost in La Mancha


that was sad :(

[liquidstatik]

[Tadao]

if you're an out of the closet pedo.

[Babs]

So says the over weight divorced asian with nothing better to do but post on a forum at least 8 times a day.

[bigtimecow]

keep it in the chat thread dickface

and attempting to insult someone with a fact based around how often they post on a forum is pretty fucking retarded considering you also post here

[The Leader]

SHIT JUST GOT REAL

[Tadao]

My BFF says I write music like Daniel Johnston. I have ye to see the documentary. :(

Just watched it and while I'm flattered to be compared to a "musical genius" I don't really see what's so special about him. Then again, I don't even like the stuff I write, but friends with talent want to record with me. IDK. W/E.

[Tadao]

Ok never mind. I just downloaded a few albums and I see what's so special about him now. His music really didn't come out in the movie on my computer.

[Wiffles]

Did you catch Russia: Land of the Czars? It was pretty good.

yeah, that was cool. I loved how The Great built his cities and armies out of nothing ^.^

[Babs]

I recently just watched Outfoxed and that's a real eye opener right there. I nice insight to the bias media we call FOX.

Also, I highly recommend seeing Hearts and Minds. It places you in the minds of American children, teens, and adults showing the mentality of how you're condition to win at all costs and what we do is purposely right. Shows how radically different the Vietnamese are different from the Americans from how they're fighting for their freedom and independence and how we're fighting just simply over the fear of Communism. You seeing the suffering of the young in Vietnam (you actually see a visual of one girl running past American soldiers with her flesh dripping off). I can't do this pristine documentary in justice with mere words, only the visuals and emotions portrayed in the film can do it justice. I can't say this enough but I highly recommend this movie for any viewer.

[Tadao]

Oh man, I watched that too. That's a really good one.

[Grislygus]

I'm about to watch Beer Wars. Anyone heard anything?


Also, the Winged Migration guy did an Ocean documentary, I think it's going to Cannes

[Tadao]

They guy who hang glided with Geese?

[Grislygus]

Yeah, it'll be THE movie to watch stoned in the coming year

Beer Wars was as mediocre as they come

[Fathom Zero]

ugh

[Tadao]

Paradise Lost - The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills

A fantastic documentary and well worth your time.

I watched part 1 and part 2 last night. 5 hours of horror. I remember Jello Biafra spouting shit about the West Memphis 3, but I hate Jello's political speak so I quickly ignored it.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Big fan of docs myself. Confessions of a Superhero is one I just re-watched recently.
Super High Me
Grizzly Man
Einstein's Brain (I think it's on Youtube)
Born Into Brothels
Horror Business
My Date With Drew
Tyson
Rest in Pieces: A Portrait of Joe Coleman
American Carney
Heavy Metal Parking Lot
Overnight

[Grislygus]

Sheeit, I didn't hear about some of those

Just watched I Like Killing Flies, one of the funniest documentaries I've seen in a long time

"I did a pulled-pork with ice cream once, I made a sort of shake out of it, called it a barbecue banana shake. There's a- It's like sticking your dick in the wrong hole, there's a, a thrill, there's a sexual tension to putting an ingredient in the wrong dish. It's the basis for all, for all high culinary arts"

[Fathom Zero]

I'm watching Lynch.

[Tadao]

Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows is on right now. Hope it's good.

[Zomboid]

I loved that one. I was a big Bret Hart fan as a kid, and it was a nice look inside the world of wrestling right around the time that "attitude" thing really took off.

[Grislygus]

Just finished watching Who the #$%! is Jackson Pollock; sounded like it would be great, been meaning to watch it for a while. It wasn't, and the subjects/documentarian's position was flat-out wrong. As in, not understanding how "forensic science works" wrong.

[Babs]

30th Century Man. About the genius who is Scott Walker.

[Tadao]

I loved that one. I was a big Bret Hart fan as a kid, and it was a nice look inside the world of wrestling right around the time that "attitude" thing really took off.

Yeah, the timing of the filming couldn't have happened at a better time.

[Grislygus]

just watched Mondovino was good; just as biased as you'd think, but they let everybody speak their piece more than I had expected. Manipulative music tho

[Kitsa]

What, no "Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies"?

I guarantee you, an hour of watching his vienna sausage dick bobbling around, then watching him shove a banana up his ass, and you'll never be the same.

[Kitsa]

born into brothels is good too.

[Grislygus]

That was sad :( Has anyone seen Heavy Metal Baghdad or Afghan Star? I don't really feel like watching either one right now, but I want to know if they're good and critics can't make up their useless minds

[Ant10708]

afghan star was interesting. it won't blow your mind or anything

[Kitsa]

I fell asleep during afghan star :(

[Fathom Zero]

I watched the Cove the other night. It was put on by some activist group here at school, so they had a nice little Q&A afterward that was boring as hell.

It did make me want some dolphin, though. Sounds like it'd make a nice steak.

[Kitsa]

I'm just going to stay away from The Cove. I'm not the type of person it's trying to change so I'm not even going down that road.

[Fathom Zero]

It reminded me of why I don't watch documentaries, though.

[Kitsa]

If you like Sublime.....Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations is a must-see documentary about them.

I wouldn't even have known about it, except it was shrink-wrapped with a tribute CD I got someone as a gift. Glad I saw it.

[Tadao]
