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.

Can you ask for documentary recommendations here? If so, anyone know of a documentary about german WW2 submarine warfare that goes into great detail about the tech and tools used that isn't super americanized (constant buttrock)?

There's a really good minidocuseries released now on Netflix called: Don't gently caress with cats: Hunting an internet killer. It has a lot of twists and turns so I don't want to spoil anything if you don't know the case. Basically a dude posts a terrible video on the internet and people try to find out who he is. Then the videos get crazier.

The entire 2019 season is on the PBS website/app but the one about Duterte is an absolute must watch. The ones about Flint, Paradise fire, MBS and Ratko Mladic are also really good.

I came across this channel and it reminds me of when I had the history channel during daytime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_AelzzIRSM just big efforts and building stuff, without any opinions or anything. its a nice reprieve from all the other kind of stuff where everything is tainted with some sort of neoliberlism or capitlism motivation (i mean... barring the fact that it is a cruise ship - im just here for the engineering)

DFW Cats was fine but it definitely put way too much stock in the Internet dweebs who didnt contribute anything of actual worth in two whole years, and only knew the identity of the guy because he told them himself. Like if you trimmed their stuff down the story could’ve been told in two episodes and not have really lost anything.

Yeah, forcing them to be some kind of a framing device for the overall story didn't work for me and by the end I found them to be slightly annoying. Focusing on some lazy Facebook sleuths was a good way to start things off before the insanity but from there just focus on the more relevant stuff.

I found the internet sleuths to be somewhat interesting but it would have been a lot more compelling if the stuff they'd found had actually contributed to the authorities being on the guy's trail. I mean it does appear from the cat stuff that they had a significant amount of info that could have had this guy looking at charges for animal cruelty/abuse before he escalated, but when 90 percent of it is unfiltered web hooha, what are police supposed to do with it? So yeah, the amount of screen time occupied by the nerds in the late parts detracts from the impact of it and feels like padding it out.

Does anyone know if the Frontline version of For Sama is the full cut? The timings I’m seeing are different, 1hr40 listed on IMDb for the movie whereas the Frontline upload is closer to 1hr20. Would rather hold off if this is the case rather than just a mistake on the runtime.

They did narrow down where he was and contacted the police there who seemed to drag their feet... that was about where their story should have ended, but it seemed kinda useful. On a tangent (slighttt spoiler about the ending) For a second, when Baudi looks at the camera and says we're all complicit, I thought the whole documentary was a sham that tried to "make us think." Are there any bait and switch documentaries like that out there?

I'm not sure if any of you remember internet phenomenon Ullillillia? Anyway, a documentary was made about him somewhere around 2012 but because the documentary makers were inexperienced they more or less messed it up, ran out of funds and that was that. The documentary never got released, until yesterday when they uploaded the complete doc to YouTube! I haven't watched it yet, so I can't comment on the quality, but I'm very curious. Go check it out!

Combat Pretzel posted:Eh, I think people are taking that line wrong. The point was that Magnotta thrived on the attention, and she asked the question whether that documentary and you watching it would continue doing him that favor. Oh no I totally get the point she was making. I was just commenting that the abrupt turn to address the viewer directly down the barrel of the lens caught me off guard and for a split second I was thinking "holy poo poo was this made up and this is the turn?" Obviously not but then I was talking with a friend who though the same thing and it got me thinking if there were any total bait and switch documentaries out there.

I watched it (and made a post in GBS) and it’s clearly a rough cut of a student film, but I appreciate it for what it is... could have completely done without the flood aspect since it relates to the Ulillillia story in almost no way other than impacting his ability to attend the state fair. Any sequences in his room - especially his pizza degreasing - are wonderfully gross and boggling.
