Yeah that was nuts. Really was. But an interesting footnote. They should have just combined episodes 1 and 4. Maybe Netflix ordered 4 episodes and they were like poo poo

I almost want to watch to see how they stretched it out so much. Even with going over the internet theorizing nonsense aspect of it I'd be hard pressed to do more than an hour on the case.

There’s actually a lot of extra info about the Cecil Hotel itself and it’s links to other crimes, deaths, and murders which I found wayyyyyy more interesting than all the obnoxious internet sleuths. edit: holy poo poo this is by the same guy that directed the Paradise Lost documentaries?!

But all the Cecil stuff is completely unrelated to the case. Utterly unimportant. Oh man it's the same director? What a shame, it's not even in the same league. I mean the English couple... what the gently caress. Wasting my drat time

True crime documentaries are to Netflix and streaming services in general what cheap slasher flicks were to the late 1980s movie industry. They’re super cheap to make and probably guarantee at least a minimal return.

Wait, what? I thought after reading a bunch and watching lots of "unsolved"-type youtubes that the elisa lam thing was just a really sad case of mental illness? does this doc demonstrate something more was going on? I know it all seemed very spooky but there was never anything concrete to point to in terms of fishiness

Does anyone know where I can find "Secrets of Blackmoor"? It seems to have been scrubbed from the internet. If there's a doc streaming service I don't know about please let me know.

Like a lot of unsolved mysteries misinformation was spread online to make it out to be more than it was. I could understand maybe getting two episodes if you really go in depth about the internet stuff and how they turned it into something it wasn't but four episode is absurd. I'm pretty sure the YouTube video I watched that debunked all the "mysterious" elements was less than half an hour long. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Feb 16, 2021 |

That's what i figured. anyone else ever check out Conspiracy of Silence? Did a search of the thread and didn't see any talk of it. british doc about the franklin credit scandal. here's some info from the youtube description: quote:In mid-1993, after The Franklin Cover-Up had been circulating for almost a year, the British-based TV station, Yorkshire Television, sent a top-notch team to Nebraska to launch its own investigation of the Franklin case. Yorkshire had a contract with the Discovery Channel to produce a documentary on the case for American television. there's some pretty wild accusations, but given the books written on the topic, it seems there was probably a lot of truth to it.

The Elisa Lam case is admittedly very weird, especially with the elevator video and the gross out factor of how they finally discovered the body. It’s one of those cases where it’s just “we don’t know exactly what happened but there’s nothing pointing to anything other than an accident.” (once the hatch question was finally settled) As usual, a bunch of people making stream-of-consciousness YouTube videos don’t add much to the story.

If there’s anything ‘Don’t gently caress With Cats’ proved, it’s that internet detectives importance is pretty much polar opposite to their belief. Not that this really came as a surprise to anyone outside those circles.

I was really looking forward to Q: Into the Storm on HBO and now that I’m 4 episodes in I’m pretty annoyed. It’s really slick and everything but 4 episodes in they haven’t even done a small 3 minute segment on what Tye Q followers actually believe. Bits and pieces are interspersed throughout in talking head segments but just a quick outline of what the followers actually say the conspiracy actually is would go a long way. It’s clearly trying to make the people running 8chan look ridiculous, it would only help that by doing a little tiny segment saying “and this is what all that q research on 8chan is actually talking about” to drive home just how dumb the whole loving thing is. As it stands now at 4 episodes in it’s just a slicky produced garbage documentary about 8chan with a side of “tech giants shouldn’t silence people” GutBomb fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Apr 20, 2021 |

It doesn't really change, the whole show seems to be about the rehabilitation of Fred and gawking at the 8chan guys weirdness. It kinda feels like it should've just been about the effect of 'free speech' on the web and the people who push it, rather than basing it just around Q. There's not really any real (on screen, at least) attempt to work out who and why it was started, just who happens to be running it now when it's at the point where Q themselves simply doesn't matter.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8396314 Raoul Peck's newest tv-series feels like more of a essay than a regular documentary, but it is well worth a watch. If you liked his previous documentary "I am not your negro" you will definitely like this one.

The Crime of the Century on HBO* is a really good option if you want to give yourself a rage stroke. The motherfuckers at Perdue Pharma caused the opioid crisis, and they are mass murderers. And there's one unrepentant doctor that's interviewed I wanted to leap threw my TV to strangle. *I have HBO Max, not sure if it's on the other HBO services. deoju fucked around with this message at 20:50 on May 11, 2021 |

We recently watched Flex Is King (about the type of dance) and while it kind of meanders and seems a bit directionless, I absolutely loved watching it. I watched America's Best Dance Crew back in the day, and was telling my boyfriend that I had really like the one team that was heavy on flexing, and no poo poo, one of the guys they follow was on the Ringmasters. So-so documentary, kick-rear end dance moves.

I, Sniper about the DC/Beltway snipers on Viceland has been excellent for the first three episodes. Doesn’t fall into sensationalism or hunting too hard for a gimmick, unlike a lot of recent true crime stuff. I’m both eager for more, annoyed that I have to watch weekly now, and curious how there’s still material for 7 more episodes (I only know the basics of the case from when it was happening).

Anyone watch that Woodstock '99 doc? Holy poo poo, I'd heard it was bad but goddamn. A minor criticism was that they kept kind of overlaying current-day values in terms of what's okay and what's not, on something that happened 20 years ago regarding the misogony and racism in lyrics like it was some kind of a major issue at the time like it would be today which it wasn't. Not saying it was even remotely okay of course but that part felt a little preachy in the doc like "by Jove, a black rapper shouting out the n-word on stage, why I never!" like yeah, that's not great but don't act like at the time it was somehow out of the ordinary. Still, definitely worth a watch if only for the way they broke down how Woodstock '69 can't work in modern-day or indeed in 1999. One of the organizers of Woodstock 1969 and 1999 came across as a huge buffoon too which was pretty entertaining.

I don’t think anyone had an issue with DMX saying the n-word, it’s the fact it was gleefully setup so a billion white frat boys could all yell it out in unison and it just be considered fine.

Fred durst is a 9/11 conspiracy nut. I somehow got his Xbox gamertag in early 2000's and would play cod with him and he'd just talk about 9/11 conspiracies the entire time.

“It's one thing if you know your place; like, 'Hey, I'm an idiot who plays lovely music but people buy it – gently caress it, I'm having fun. But it's another thing when you think you're David Bowie after you've stayed up all night to write a song called 'Break Stuff'. I mean, Fred Durst probably spelt the word 'break' wrong the first couple of times. Fred Durst might be a cool guy; I don't know him. But his 'art' – in the word's loosest sense – sucks.” -Trent Reznor

Watched Val on Amazon Prime last night. I don't really understand my fascination with Val Kilmer. Of his movies, Top Secret! and Real Genius, I love and could watch forever. Nothing else he's done I've really cared about, including Top Gun, Willow, The Doors, Batman Forever, anything. His 90s films were only only on the periphery of my awareness and not on any part of my radar in the past twenty years but whenever Ive seen his name in the news, I've always been drawn to read about him. Kind of a Soliel Moon Frye thing going on with him recording 40 years of his career. Uncanny to have his 26 year old son narrate himself with how his voice sounded in the 80s. Recommended.
