That drat Satyr posted:The Institute - About an ARG that took place in mid-California, and the people involved. This was amazing. I've been thinking of making a GBS post about it, actually. I was living in SF at the time and never heard about this. I am very sad about it.

appleskates posted:I watched The Internet's Own Boy, tonight, the doc about Aaron Swartz. It was really inspirational and yet depressing. He was such a visionary, he actually wanted to do the cliched "make the world a better place," but it was reasonable, and achievable. loving depressing what the Federal Courts were trying to do. Anyway, it was good. This sound interesting. Where can I watch it?

I've been watching The Story of Film on Netflix. It's the most in depth, well researched, and well written movie history I've ever seen. E: One thing that is really great about this is the shots that were done just for the documentary. Street shots. Shots of people. Just gorgeous.

I got used to his voice fairly quickly once I realized his accent wasn't typical English and he was doing his best to enunciate so that he would be understood. And complaining about the beautiful static shots during narration makes me think that you don't really enjoy cinematography and shouldn't be watching in the first place. Or you just decided you didn't like the film and went on a hate rampage.

The Imposter was great. If only for how completely hosed up it gets as it progresses. It's so whack I considered whether it was a work of fiction made to look like a documentary.

I watched The Red Pill. Wasn't what I expected at all. Didn't realize there was a schism between reddit red pill people and the ones who live in reality. I'd recommend watching, especially if you are a feminist as the film is made by one.

I watched that flat earther doc. "Let's do an experiment to prove the earth is flat. Hmm, this experiment proves it is a globe. Better try something else. Hmm...this one also proves the earth is a globe. I think the problem is we aren't doing the right experiments."

Earth Table posted:Went to a screening last night of Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project at the Metrograph in NYC. In summary, a left-wing activist from Philadelphia recorded recorded 24/7 television, mostly news, from 1979 till her death in 2012. Her tapes ended up with the internet archived and are being uploaded and made both viewable and searchable. The Oklahoma city bombing and 9/11 would be interesting because of how the news agencies reported certain things initially and then stopped talking about them at all. There isn't a lot of footage of this stuff, though.

I watched "Dumb, the story of Big Brother Magazine." It was excellent. I wish I had read it when it was new. I kept thinking that Hunter S. Thompson would have loved it. They never call it gonzo journalism, but that is basically what it was. I also watched the doc about the drug scandals in Massachusetts. I forget the name. It was pretty good, too.

Can someone recommend a documentary on christianity and the bible? I don't mean BS that actually believes all that poo poo. I mean something that deep dives into how the Romans compiled a ton of stories and myths and made the new testament and the actual truth of it's genesis (no pun intended) and all that. I remember something I saw about how the catholic church is just the continuation of the roman empire and I'm curious about how that goes.

Alan_Shore posted:One more episode to go on the Elisa Lam/Cecil Hotel documentary and it's dogshit. Nearly 4 hours for something that should have been an hour. They just spent 5 minutes talking about a death metal musician! loving embarrassing We watched the first episode and never went back. So much filler. It looks like it could be interesting if it was edited better.

Untold: Crimes and Penalties on Netflix is completely bonkers and more entertaining than anything I've seen in a while. Brief rundown: mob boss buys minor league hockey team, gives it to 17 year old son to run. He turns it into a combination of Slap Shot and WWE.

I think it is a few years old but Drunk, Stone, Briliant, Dead, the story of National Lampoon showed up in my Prime feed so I watched it. I was not aware just how influential National Lampoon was. It's basically a comedy line of demarcation between the current and the past. It's worth watching if you don't already know all about it.

I watched that Jimmy Savile thing on Netflix. I had heard his name over the years but having grown up in the US it was just a name. But yeesh. As soon as it started my reaction was "I bet he's a kiddie diddler." I can only imagine the cognitive dissonance most of the UK felt when his story finally came out.

There is no best, only what interests you. Netflix has leaned hard into overly long docuseries. 1 hours worth of content spread over 4 hours.

I watched it, too. It's just a total mind gently caress to go through. I get the police trying to keep everyone alive. That's what they should be doing. But then the gently caress-up with the arrest and then the last bit which isn't really explained. Based on the pics I am guessing they rammed into them to get the car to stop or something. Still confused what happened. I get why they don't have video but it was still confusing. The worst part, to me, is the reporter who tells the crazy dude in the back seat that he should hold the gun to the girls head. Just disgusting.

BrianRx posted:My sister highly recommended Girl In the Picture but being somewhat familiar with the details I'm hesitant to watch it. If anyone has seen it, does it add anything of substance to the story or is it a litany of horrible things happening to the same person? I wasn't familiar with the story and it was pretty hosed up. However, unlike many stories of its like, it has a relatively happy ending. I mean as happy an ending as that sort of story can have.
