Rennie is the best part of that whole thing, next best is Ken Sagoes talking about how he had to be in the beginning of 4 because they forgot to write him out at the end of 3.

Some of you may have seen Dickeye and I (there's a bad brains joke in that sentence, somewhere) get excited about a documentary coming out soon-ish called Never Get Tired. It's about the band Bomb the Music Industry and more specifically about their singer Jeff Rosenstock. He invented the pay what you want approach later adopted by NIN and Radiohead. He makes great fuckin' music. And he's a really nice man! Anyway, here's a link that has the trailer and an interview with the filmmaker and Jeff as well http://punktastic.com/radar/never-get-tired-the-bomb-the-music-industry-story-interview-with-sara-crow-and-jeff-rosenstock/ Also, two clips from the movie http://noisey.vice.com/blog/exclusive-clips-from-never-get-tired-the-bomb-the-music-industry-story?utm_source=noiseytwitterus El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Aug 31, 2015 |

I finally got around to seeing West of Memphis. Not actually knowing the story apart from remembering the Dixie Chicks/Eddie Vedder stuff at the time and not knowing what they were referring to. It made me angry. And sad. I also watched it back to back with Central Park Five. Now I'm super angry. And super sad. Looten Plunder fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Sep 4, 2015 |

This is in poor taste but I want to watch documentaries on 9/ 11 mostly conspiracy ones or movies about people who pretended they were at ground zero. I'm having trouble finding the non you tube ones.

If you want to see actual ground zero as the firefighters worked on it, check out the documentary '9/11' from two French guys that were there and had cameras rolling. It's an amazing documentary and pretty moving to watch. There's crazy footage of the planes hitting the towers in it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miA8Td4oNcY

It's pretty remarkable that it was meant to be a simple documentary about a guy starting work at a firestation and turned out to be something that captured a hugely significant event.

I do remember it being a fascinating documentary though. "The Woman Who Wasn't There." I watched this last year or so and really liked it.

Apologize if this is inappropriate for this thread, but the /r/documentaries subreddit has a very actively updated list of documentaries. I pick one a night to watch generally. Here's a recent one I enjoyed from CNN: Double Agent Inside Al Qaeda for the CIA

It seems like their mods have been a bit absent, but there's some diamonds in the poo poo pile of conspiracy documentaries. Also, probably doesn't need to be mentioned, but Vice has some interesting stuff occasionally on their YouTube Channel.

I'm watching Electric Boogaloo and I'm getting incredibly frustrated with the editing and general pacing. This topic is super interesting, they have tons of great footage to choose from, but it's edited like it's a 2 minute trailer. Only it's 106 minutes long. It's exhausting.

Ok, so about 11 minutes in, the movie's meds kick in and it slows down enough to let you actually take in the things it's talking about. What a bad way to open. Really good after that point, though.

So someone a few weeks or months ago here was asking about decent documentaries on animation history. PBS just aired a two part look at Walt Disney a few days ago as a part of their American Experience series, totaling at about four hours in length. I just watched the first part and I've found it to be a pretty even-handed look at the man, showing both his accomplishments and his follies as a person.

This sounds cool; I'd love something similar for a really controversial figure like Bluth or John K though.

I just saw the Devil and Daniel Johnston. I think it lionizes him a bit too much without convincing the audience of his "genius". A bipolar Brian Wilson? Come on. Still, it left me hungry for more rock-docs focusing on colorful personalities. Dig! is another, and probably better, example of what I'm looking for.

The Paradise Lost trilogy goes really well with the slightly more detached view in West of Memphis. The first movie of the trilogy in particular is one of my favorite docs, and I think it raises some interesting questions about how involved a filmmaker can or should be in making a movie once they become involved with a story like this, even if it is in a relatively minor way. Also I'll never look at Bojangles restaurants in the same way again. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Sep 22, 2015 |

What I find stunning is that the prosecutor for the case still believes he got it right the first time. I mean I guess I sorta understand from a pride and stubbornness perspective, but christ almighty, just man up. You can't be sued because of the Alford plea. The case's leads for the other suspects are so shaky you'll likely never find the real killer. Just admit you hosed up. For what it's worth, I think the Byers kid's dad did it.

While I think that same dude might have done it (Terry Hobbs seems more likely to me), part of me also wonders if I'm just falling victim to the same mentality that caused the West Memphis Three to be accused in the first place. Is being convinced because of a movie or two really enough reason to think somebody murdered three children?

For me it's the teeth marks and his constantly changing story regarding the knife that had his and Chris Byers DNA on it. Also, we're not sentencing anybody to death on our half-baked theories. Help me out, is Hobbs the dude who wandered into Bojangles? Or is he the dude who suspiciously moved out of town not long after the bodies were found?

No one knows who the Bojangles guy is, though apparently he was black according to witness descriptions. Hobbs is the one that Paradise Lost 3 points to, as well as West of Memphis. His hair was found on one of the dead kid's bodies. He tried to sue a singer or something too, and generally had problems with spousal abuse. http://wm3.wikia.com/wiki/Terry_Hobbs FWIW the Byers dad thinks Hobbs is guilty too.

One of my favorite parts of that series is the complete 180 that Byers' dad did. Going from this stark raving mad giant redneck dude in the first two parts, with all his crazy explicit rants about what he wants to do to the accused guys, to then seemingly expressing genuine regret - it really did warm me up to the guy in the end.

BiggerBoat posted:Have you seen the 3 "Paradise Lost" films? Clearly I haven't, otherwise I'd be familiar with the story. Now for a non-smartass answer. Will I still get anything out of watching them having seen West Of...? From the movie, i kind of got the impression that whilst they were groundbreaking, they were only going off the evidence that they had at the time and there has since been a lot more evidence so it's kind of all moot.

The Louis Theroux special on meth was pretty good, but I guess it depends entirely on your opinion of Louis. It is from 2009 though, so not really all that new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_City_Addicted_to_Crystal_Meth It is pretty drat depressing, as you'd expect.
