Title: Documentaries
Post by: Matt Siebrant's Left Hand on December 07, 2012, 05:29:10 PM
Really like this site http://californiaisaplace.com/cali/. Solid storytelling. This one on a guy out in California, naturally, his whole day-to-day is portraying Superman.

There's also one out there on Smith Center, Kansas, that I could only retrieve a trailer for: https://vimeo.com/12448510

Funny you should mention that because I was just thinking today that when I make my first documentary I'm going to make a documentary about the making of my documentary just in case my main documentary is terrible I will be able to fall back on the documentary about the documentary.  Basically killing two birds with one stone or whatever.

I'm watching "The Look of Silence" right now. Not a word of it is in English but it is the most intense documentary I've ever seen. It is essentially the story of a man confronting people who killed his brother in 1968 in the Indonesian genocide. These men are of course very old now but they aren't remorseful at all and very sociopathic and dangerous. I think they're going to kill this man before this doc ends.

It lost the Academy Award for best documentary to Amy, this is much much much better than Amy.

You know what else was a better documentary from that year?  Cartel Land.

Citizenfour was good and won best documentary last year.

You know what was a better documentary from 2013 that lost to (an also good doc, but nowhere near as good) 20 feet from stardom?  Dirty Wars.

Didn't even know this documentary existed but I'm assuming this is about Johnny Gosch. I first learned about him years ago when I lived in Maine, I was the assistant director at the camp of that t-shirt he was photographed in, there is a camp legend that his ghost haunts the camp. They do a news story once or twice a year on him here. I'll check that out.

I started one last night called The Propaganda Game.  It's about North Korea and actually has a ton of North Korean talking heads in it.  Interesting to watch and wonder how much of what you're seeing is orchestrated and how much our view of DPRK is based on the West's propaganda. 
Title: Re: Documentaries
Post by: star seed 7 on September 26, 2016, 09:23:14 AM

Title: Re: Documentaries
Post by: DQ12 on September 26, 2016, 09:46:45 AM
Sure -- and a lot of what the documentary cited as "propaganda" was just cable news stories.  O'Reilly cracking up at the various atrocities.  Stuff like that.  Apparently the story a few years back about how one of the higher ups in the Kim government was executed by rabid dogs tearing him apart is completely unsubstantiated.

Obviously it's a crap place full of human rights violations.  I don't consider amnesty international to be some super biased source of propaganda, for example.  But it was interesting to kind of check my own point of view about a place universally considered backwards and evil. 

For those at all interested in North Korea, I'd check it out. 

Title: Re: Documentaries
Post by: star seed 7 on September 26, 2016, 10:03:48 AM
I think the dog thing was pretty well retracted. Ircc correctly the dprk put that story out as propaganda and the west reported it and then later reported it was false or was a hoax or something.
Title: Re: Documentaries
Post by: MakeItRain on September 26, 2016, 11:05:18 AM
I didn't think the dog story was true but I didn't remember ever hearing that it was discredited. So he didn't feed one of his henchmen to dogs but I'm guessing that Il still has had several people that has worked for him murdered.

I enjoyed the documentary Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made - Basically some kids did a shot for shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark growing up over the course of seven years.  They were never able to do the plane scene so they get back together 25ish years later to do it/finish the film.  Nothing terribly insightful but fun and great to watch these guys achieve their dreams, no matter how ridiculous.  I was into film making growing up so it struck a chord with me.

I imagine it's very freeing. I would prefer to get rid of 9/10ths of my crap but I'm pretty lazy.

Playing musical apartments for the four years I have lived in MHK has provided me the opportunity (forced me) to get rid of a ton of stuff.

There is one on HBO tomorrow night called "Risky Drinking."  Follows 4 different drinkers at 4 different stages of the progression.  Looks both good, but gut wrenching.  I suppose that's frequently the case with documentaries.

watched this tonight, was tough to watch neil pak as hard as he would

PBS currently has a 2 hour Frontline in rotation titled "Exodus".  It follows a handful of refugees/migrants trying to get to Europe from Syria, Afganistan, and Africa.  It's really good. 

My PBS shows it showing again at 1:00am Friday, but I'm not sure if that matched other areas PBS schedule.

Part observational essay filmed in weapons plants, Fukushima, Japan, and deep underground, and part graphic novel, Containment weaves between an uneasy present and an imaginative but troubled distant future, exploring the idea that over millennia, nothing stays put.

Watched the first five minutes and made a mental note to watch it on HBOGo so I could instead watch This Was The XFL 30 for 30, which was airing at the same time. The XFL doc was very lolzy and fun, btw.

the red pill.  it's on amazon prime.  i was expecting some good lols about the reddit group, but this whole thing was about something adjacent to that.  It's about men's rights activists and a lot of their positions were fairly legitimate.  the feminist spokespeople interviewed looked very bad in this.  a self proclaimed feminist woman made the doc, and her feelings as the film go on are interesting and could really apply to any number of issues about how hard it is to see the "other side" if you have no real world experiences to relate with the other side about.

UVerse has a documentary on their channel Audience called The Sign about how some people think September 23 is the start of the tribulation or rapture because of Revelations 12.  It covers both sides.  I don't know why those ideas are so fascinating to me.  I watched 10 minutes & what I saw was pretty interesting.  The biggest proponent is well known in those circles, is in Jerusalem now waiting for it, & sounds exactly like Tim Brando.

I thought about posting this in the show thread but it’s closer to a doc.

Mostly Human.

It’s a series, but it focuses on technology and how it is impacting people. It covers a variety of topics but they are all very real and personal topics and issues. It’s investigative journalism and explores some pretty interesting things at the convergence of tech and humanity as a whole. It’s a CNN doc series and very well done.

Super well done.  And agree about it being terrifying.  Craziest parts: 

1. When it all started at Florence and Normandie and those truck drivers were dragged out and beaten/hit in the head with bricks/spray painted.

2.  Armed Korean militias roaming the streets to protect their stores and property.

I’ve been on kind of a documentary kick lately. Each of the following were pretty good. Have a couple others I haven’t finished yet that are multi-parters.

Trump: An American Dream(Netflix) - I’ve watched other docs on him before but this 4 parter was pretty good.

Take your pills(Netflix) - it’s about the big increase in people diagnosed with ADHD and the use of Adderall amount kids, college students, and adults. Very interesting.

South Pacific(Netflix) - just like planet earth but about the South Pacific, was pretty cool.

Betting on Zero(Netflix) - it’s about the Herbalife pyramid scheme and the short sellers who saw it coming and the ones who were a part of it.

Dirty Money(Netflix) - each episode is about a different corrupt business or practice.

Mercury 13(Netflix) - it’s about the 13 women who were training to be astronauts in the early 60’s during the space race. The roadblocks they had and the women who eventually broke through and became astronauts.

Watched these 3 recently and enjoyed them a lot. Dirty Money was my favorite so far. Other than the Maple Syrup Heist which was just so Canadian of a thing. The VW scandal I knew a lot about, but the whole gassing monkey's was super :sdeek: The payday loan was so interesting I guess cause the business was only like 3 miles from my house in OP.

The Mercury 13 one made me so pissed at Jacqueline Cochran, major league bitch.

There were like 6 girls they just interviewed and said he would have them lay in a hammock with a hole cut out so that they could crap in his mouth. I mean WTF :sdeek: :lol: :buh-bye:

What a Doc. Dude is a legit psychopath and he has been reborn into a figure synonymous with the company/industry he originally created. I have no idea how he is still alive.

It was made in the 90's and is on Netflix now. It's like 12 episodes long each of which is like an hour and a half long. Wow, so well done and equally infuriating for what happened as a developing nation. I thought I knew a decent amount of US history but damn, we were rough ridin' awful.

The California thing was really eye opening. Straight up Genocide and didn't even try to sugar coat it.  Not only did they kill all the native people they just simply ran off/bullied the Spanish/Mexican landowners who had been there for decades.  Just BRUTAL.

Kiss the Ground on Netflix was very interesting. I wonder if rusty knows anything about how they implement the city-wide food waste composting program in SF...seems like the kind of thing that could and probably should be done in any city.

Plus! bonus: in the first 5 minutes there is some powercat sightings. 6.5/7

I was disappointed by Free Britney.

JT definitely did her dirty though, outside of that radio interview, the rest of it was just some crap that people in their 20's do when they break up.

Circling back to this since I'm now done learning about how Woody Allen raped his daughter and he was enabled by hollywood, CNN, and the NYC media.

A lot of these people they are interviewing are full of crap, especially this Adam 22 dude, the bald white guy with all the tattoos. I don't think this doc was made for people with knowledge of hip hop culture from 5 years ago. I can't finish this if these people don't stop exaggerating.

The Last Blockbuster - I didn't think it was particularly good, but I still enjoyed it for nostalgic reasons. Still, I definitely don't miss Blockbuster as much as the people in this documentary.

Momentum Generation - I enjoyed this way more than I ever thought I would. It was focused on Kelly Slater and a lot of other professional surfers. It was partly about surfing, but they also had interesting lives and were very honest and sharing in the interviews. You probably won't watch this because it's a documentary about surfers, but I think you would enjoy it if you watched it.

Woodstock 99 on hbomax - 5/7

Man,what a total shitshow. That show was definitely marketed directly at me, fortunately I was a 17 yr old with parents sensible enough to not let me go. $180 tickets were the most outlandish thing I had ever heard of, but that Korn set would probably have been the highlight of my life at the time.

I didn't particularly agree with the conclusions that some of the more academic guests had, but it was a gut punch to look back at how toxic a community I was definitely part of was. The guests attributed it to malice, but in my personal experience it was more ignorance.

Total lol at the Coachella commercial at the end.

The whole angry white guy music thing.

The girls being groped all the time is one I've always been disgusted by but I for sure thought it was funny that a "show your tits" chant would break out literally anytime a female came on stage.

Got around to Woodstock 99 and Malice at the Palace over the weekend.  Both enjoyable.

That Detroit court announcer guy is a master of his craft.
 

Yes the way he said Ben Wallace's name was incredible   :love:    That Charlie Haddad guy is still out there trying to claim he's a victim of some sort.  No dumbass you went looking for trouble and decided it was a perfectly fine idea to go onto the court and square up on Ron Artest.

Pitbulls Unleashed: Should they be banned?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iFa8HOdegZA&feature=youtu.be

This is a one-hour special focusing on the increase in pitbull type dogs in Canada, and fight between the pitbull lobby and concerned citizens over the breed(s). Worth a watch.

I hope Naya is in therapy, she needs it badly, what a mumped up and twisted mind.

Diane O'Meara's story about the photo doesn't make sense to me.

Notre Dame really didn't help Manti out much, at all. It was apparent that they didn't really believe him either. They could have made this way easier on him. Brian Kelly was completely missing, he's a piece of crap.

Watched a heavy, heartbreaking doc last night.

HBO’s A Life of Crime 1984-2020. It’s actually a compilation of two previous docs of the same title by the same film maker. The film follows the lives of three friends over 36 years of petty crime, drug addiction and incarceration. It’s extremely eye-opening and gut-wrenching.

I advise having time to watch something light afterward.

Early 90's when china started to allow international adoption this guy would just drive around rural villages and collect baby's (mainly females) that had been abandoned in markets and on the side of the road then sell them to orphanages who would sell them internationally.

If you had more than 1 kid the Chinese government would just tear your house down.

I'm halfway through this right now.  Heartbreaking.  The people recounting the horrors and then saying they would do it all over again because the policy was necessary really shows the power of totalitarian state propaganda.

Apparently, this series isn't new and they're playing the same series is now playing on showtime. This might be the best docuseries I've ever seen. Watching this and knowing it was made based on the biographies of the chief negotiator and a survivor of the siege, has me being as close to red pilled as I'm going to be. The federal government killed those people and continue to cover up for it.

If you don't want to watch the whole six hours, they're all very good, watch the last hour. I shouldn't be surprised at how awful our government is and was but holy crap.

Showtime made a sequel to this series that premiers in two weeks that goes into the fallout of Waco that we continue to experience today. It also stars Michael Shannon.

Nope. Wasn't aware of the Netflix docuseries until I looked it up, two minutes ago. I had to go to imdb to unwrap this. The showtime series was originally released in 2018, but showtime rereleased it leading up to Waco: The Aftermath that premiers on April 14th and is the trailer I posted.

I'm interested in the Netflix docuseries but I'm not sure I can watch it. The drama was based on the books from Noesner and Thibodeaux and they both appear in the Netflix docuseries so I'm not sure what watching that will do other than piss me off all over again. I know there are some dramatizations in the series like Noesner getting fired right before the FBI breached the facility when in actuality he was sent home after day 23.

I think Christianity in America has always been more or less hyper nationalist.

Finished the first episode of this doc about "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland last night. I went into it with zero knowledge of the subject outside of listening to "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" by U2 and watching the movie Belfast. Very good so far

Same. I fell down a rabbit hole after watching this (probably for the wiki thread). Check out I, Delours, centered on the lady who help kidnap the mother of 10 and more from the republican point of view. The actual footage is from interviews she gave to a BC prof as part of a project.

Hard to believe that it could still go sideways at any time.

Been enjoying Peter Santenello's Youtube videos lately. He's done tasteful and respectful vids of himself living with Ukrainian homesteaders, as well as in-depth looks into the lives of Hasidic Jews in the US (and abroad), US gang and underculture, etc.

Here is a look into the life of a man named Titus who lives an off-grid (not in the trendy "trad" way) lifestyle in appalachian Kentucky.

I have seen a couple videos from him and mostly enjoy them. The villages one is surprisingly good.

I, too, have enjoyed Peter Santanello's stuff.  He must have found the key to unlocking the YouTube algos if we've all been watching him.

Kinda got burnt out on it after a while though.  They're all kinda the same story, just different people.

In the same vein, I really enjoyed watching the Vice "Abandoned" series on YouTube:

Netflix has a new doc about the recording of We Are the World, called The Greatest Night in Pop.  The footage is good and it's pretty impressive how they got all those stars to show up in one place at the same time.  There were lots of interesting mini-stories within this show and of course it talked about the efforts of trying to get Prince to show up.  Still no explanation of what Dan Aykroyd was doing there.  Drugs?

I only saw the trailer but what really stood out to me was how pissed off Bob Dylan looked to be there. I mean maybe that’s just what his face looks like? But he seemed pretty much over the whole thing. Including standing there silently when they impromptu broke out into Day-O and brought a tear to Harry Belafonte’s eye (rest in peace King)

I just finished this and I can't emphasize enough how much I loved it. This is the perfect mix of wholesomeness and nostalgia. Even Waylon Jennings being a giant man baby didn't ruin this song or documentary.

Yeah, i never cared for that song and always thought it was so corny when I was young.

The doc really puts into context just what a huge deal it was to put together and pull off.  pretty incredible.

i mean, no doubt he was/is an absolute creep and pervert, who has no business working with children, or women for that matter. What i can't get a read on is whether he did anything that rises to the level of criminality. Like, having children perform thinly veiled sex acts is absolutely gross and should probably put him on a watchlist, but i'm not sure if having someone squirt some goo on Jamie Lynn Spears' face is quite criminal. I think if he was touching or showing i'm sure victims would have come forward by now like they did w/ those other guys. I wouldn't be surprised if he is soon accused of something criminal, but it just seems like he doesn't really have any leverage to keep them quiet so i don't know why his victims wouldn't have said something by now.

Had some drinks and instead of booking an expensive foreign excursion, Mrs SF and i settled in for some TV watching last weekend. Browsing the docs on Prime I found one about the lead singer of the Band Blue October. Trailer seemed fine and I kind of enjoy some Blue October myself, so why not. I thought, if they did a documentary on this guy and band, they had to be somewhat interesting??? Right? Well, I was wrong. There was literally nothing interesting about these assholes at all. We just kept watching and waiting and I can't figure out for the life of my why the doc was even made. 2-10 would not recommend.
