girth brooks part 2 posted:Let the Fire Burn about the Philadelphia P.D. bombing the MOVE headquarters is a personal favorite. It'll probably depress the hell out of you though. There's only like one decent human being in the whole thing not including the children. let the fire burn is real good

That Grateful Dead series on Amazon is pretty good. I don't care much about the band but the doc is quite good.

I don't watch a lot of documentaries but one of my favorites is Crumb. I'm not really into R. Crumb or alternative comix, and I'm not a big fan of Zwigoff's other films but Crumb is legit fascinating stuff.

joris ivens was a great talent, as is steve james. hoop dreams and the interrupters are both incredible. how yukong moved the mountains is long but it's probably the best documentary i've ever watched

In the titles it says the camera is hidden so it's like eavesdropping on people at the beach, a guy making weird faces at a sporting event and a girl secretly touching some art in a museum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYZxcCPGzm8

Secrets of the SAS on Netflix is surprisingly good. I expected a whitewashed motofest, having grown up on Discovery channel military documentaries from either side of 9/11. But this is the BBC, and they don't gently caress around. Not only do they allow them to swear, and being they're career military men it would be odd for them not to do so basically all the time, they're extremely candid about everything that isn't classified or illegal. They all say point blank that combat is scary, but also kind of fun in a way. They say point blank, that if a woman or child is pointing a gun at them, they're absolutely going to shoot them, and that's that. They say point blank, that they will brew tea basically anywhere given half a second's chance. That's weird to hear in a documentary, as like I said, I'm used to watered down American documentaries, which are in no small portion meant to be for recruitment. They also focus heavily on the men themselves, and not so much the tactics or equipment. There's 4 episodes. One of them is specifically about PTSD, which again, is refreshing to see. It's not often that special forces operators will go on camera and present themselves as that vulnerable.

Too Funny to Fail is currently on Hulu, it’s a documentary about the very short life of The Dana Carvey show, and is a really interesting look at comedy that’s ahead of its time. Lots of interviews with Steve Carroll, Steven Colbert, Robert Smigel and ofc Dana Carvey Absolutely hilarious and worth watching for anyone who’s interested in sketch comedy

Great docu-series. Also have you seen Mommy Dead and Dearist? Definitely in the same vain as Aunt Diane.

I have seen Mommy Dead and Dearest, pretty strange stuff. I started the jinx, fell asleep and never returned to it for some reason. i know its probably great though. lately ive been watching older hbo docs like the one about the kids on heroin. and that autopsy series that i had completely forgotten about. that show really went balls to the wall when it came to showing you graphic poo poo, they didnt pull punches. i feel like shows just dont do that anymore

I recorded it off hbo back it the day, actually bought a vhs to dvd converter years later to digitize it, and now it's free for all on youtube. what a world. hbo had some savagely brutal poo poo in the late 80s and early 90s. autopsy, the iceman interviews, etc. I wonder why they don't have as many as before. probably bc there's no money in them .

i watched One of Us on netflix recently. i think it was made by the same group that made Jesus Camp, which would make sense because this is about three people who have been effectively banished from hasidic jewish communities in Brooklyn. if you know nothing about the subject i highly recommend watching it

if anyone wants to watch something that will put things in perspective, I recommend God grew Tired of Us, about Sudanese refugees trying to make it in America. IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301555/ It's on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5N_qKbHHWw
