SeanBeansShako posted:The fact the Kenyan Army pretty much said gently caress it and just shelled the goddamn mall to end the stand off after losing live five guys several days later, jesus. The elephant man part was pretty tough, I have to assume he was just scared to death and not thinking things through. But I would agree that the cops / civilians rushing in was the high point of the movie.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Yeah Happy People almost made me cry. In addition to the dog story, the whole moment of the dog running alongside the jetski the whole way home hit me hard. Iirc that dog ran for 24 hours, those people could be the real survivors of an apocalypse.

I don't remember it being mentioned here before, but if you have a desire to be angry, or to rage against the flaws in the American justice system Kids for Cash is up in Netflix. The documentary is occasionally slow but my wife and I thought it was time well spent. From IMDB: Kids For Cash is a riveting look behind the notorious judicial scandal that rocked the nation. Beyond the millions paid and high stakes corruption, Kids For Cash exposes a shocking American secret. In the wake of the shootings at Columbine, a small town celebrates a charismatic judge who is hell-bent on keeping kids in line...until one parent dares to question the motives behind his brand of justice. This real life thriller reveals the untold stories of the masterminds at the center of the scandal and the chilling aftermath of lives destroyed in the process - a stunning emotional roller coaster.

Resistance is on Netflix, not exactly a gloriously produced Movie but as someone who has had a MRSA infection the subject matter is alarming and a bit horrifying. From the films webpage: Antibiotics were first massed-produced in the 1940s. Their ability to fight and kill bacteria revolutionized medicine and had profound effects on everything from agriculture to war. After less than 80 years, however, these miracle drugs are failing. Resistant infections kill hundreds of thousands of people around the world each year, and there are now dozens of so-called Superbugs each with its own challenges and costs. How did this happen? Using microscopic footage, harrowing personal stories, and expert insights RESISTANCE clarifies the problem of antibiotic resistance, how we got to this point, and what we can do to turn the tide.

Finally got around to watching Dawg Fight. Nice flick that reminded my of my youth, just swap out the offenders for bored middle class white kids without YouTube or cameras. Pretty good show but they could have left out some of the side shows.

Hot Girls Wanted is up on Netflix. I'm not really sure what to say other than its another depressing look at the porn industry. A few things that stood out for me. First there are apparently thousands of willing girls ready to enter the industry. I was also a little shocked at how ignorant many of them appeared to their actual future. Most of the girls only last 2-3 months and a long term career is considered 12 months. Something else that stood in my mind is how prom is slowly getting more degrading. Lastly, the Unprotected sex and lack of concern for getting pregnant were also a little surprising in 2015. Links would not post from my phone - http://www.hotgirlswantedmovie.com

Only the Dead is a pretty good documentary on Netflix's about a reporter in Iraq. It's not super investigative but it was an interesting look at one mans experience with the craziness that was Iraq. Description: In 2003, war correspondent Michael Ware travels to Baghdad during the invasion. As he tries to find out about a brutal Al Qaeda leader, he receives a tape from Abu Musab al Zarqawi.

Cocoa Ninja posted:I don't remember the particular city, (not Fallujah, which is harrowing for other reasons...Ramadi?) but there's a section where the guy's embedded with an American squad that is basically running for their lives while being shot at in tight city streets. And running up to Iraqis and hopelessly begging them to stop supporting the insurgents. Just insane. It brings to life how chaos that is war. K forgot to mention he was also with Staff Sgt Bellavida when he entered the hell house to rout out insurgents. Staff Sgt Bellavida later wrote a book called "House to House" And - skip past the part where the behead Nick Berg.

A Spider Covets posted:Hey guys, I like extreme and scary sports. I've watched my fill of mountain climbing documentaries (Everest and K2 are so cool!), and now I'm interested in learning about people spelunking in crazy places and deep sea divers. Any recommendations? The unridables on YouTube is a good doc about 500cc MotoGP bikes which for a few years were pretty terrifying. Along the same lines there is Road a documentary about the Dunlop family of Irish road racing fame. Valley Uprising a documentary about Rick climbing

Watched "They call us Monsters" on Netflix this evening. The attorney that represented Jared was a flipping joke and belongs in the cell herself. Decent flick that was a bit infuriating and sad.

Facing Darkness on Netflix is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. In the spring of 2014, while the world stood by as Ebola consumed West Africa, one ministry stepped forward to provide aid and comfort. When two of their own medical personnel became infected with Ebola, Samaritan’s Purse, led by Franklin Graham, sprang into action to attempt the impossible – transport and cure. With only faith and determination, this is the story of how a committed team moved mountains to make way for a miracle. Following this moving story, audiences will hear from Samaritan’s Purse President, Franklin Graham, and Dr. Kent Brantly, the first American to survive Ebola, regarding their time in Africa, the organization’s mission, and their lives since the high drama of the epidemic.

LadyPictureShow posted:Hah, even though I followed the news closely during the Ebola epidemic (and it was obvious that if they were being interviewed, they survived, but it was still chilling to watch, especially as the doctors/workers were describing how burnt out, exhausted and hopeless they were starting to get. The opening with Joseph was perfectly crushing, its hard to imagine living with that every day for the next 40 years.

[quote="“LadyPictureShow”" post="“476578588”"] In the continuation of ‘I make poor life choices in picking documentaries’, Audrie and Daisy is goddamn infuriating. It looks at two cases regarding instances where Highschool girls were passed out/incapacitated, were assaulted or raped, photographed/filmed and the aftermath since social media and small town poo poo is just a mess. Audrie’s story doesn’t last too long, but Daisy focuses on the ‘Maryvale rape case’ from a few years ago. Anonymous took it up as a cause as charges were initially dropped due to ‘lack of evidence’ (like all of these ‘promising athlete rapes intoxicated girl’ stories tend to go). If you’re ever thinking to yourself ‘yanno, I want to know how it feels to want to strangle someone’ rough it out until you get to some hot takes from the Maryvale sheriff... E: oh boy! In the aftermath of the case, the victim’s family’s HOUSE WAS BURNED DOWN [/quote] I have two daughters and have this on my watch list, thankfully every time I come close to watching it I get scared and pick something different.
