  1. this film is like david fincher's zodiac in that, you know the ending, but it's still really brilliant how it manages to make it seem like you're watching an entirely new story. for me, this is the most impressive film (documentary or fiction) about the manson family killings i've ever seen. it's even better than all the documentaries i've seen concerning the case/incident etc. towards the end, it goes into peter watkins very similitude alternate dimension of reality. amazing stuff
  2. bbc's horizon: inside the dark web- a documentary about tor, cryptography, and the silk road. skims all these subjects in under 1hr whilst attempting to urge viewers to educate themselves on cryptography and anonymity. #realtalk
  3. in 1976, a film crew working for abc news follows the south bronx 44th precinct beat cops on what was (then) the borough with the highest crime rate. today, this would seem like just another episode of cops albeit the cops are much more introspective, philosophical and actually helping people- in fact, the police chief likens the situation similar to a clockwork orange where he summizes that "america only attacks the problems it sees" by "ignoring the poor more than they ever have been.... we're manufacturing criminals" the sad part is that almost every problem addressed in this documentary is still happening today. nothing has changed 38 years later. p.s. according to the back, this documentary influenced a whole slew of cop dramas of the 70s like hill street blues, fort apache, the bronx, cops the tv show, scorsese's mean streets and the warriors (matter of fact, there's a gang war in this). the summer after this documentary aired (in 77), hiphop music was born

  5. ^^ my favorite scene in that film is when he's driving and some guy behind him is shooting at him, so he turns the car around so he can shoot that sucker then swings back to going forwards and drives on this is a jewish documentary where the filmmakers have managed to track down the grandchildren (or great grandchildren or grandnieces) of famous nazi officials such as hermann goering, heinrich himmler, rudolf hoess, amon goeth and ludwig beck. after that, they flesh out the guilt out of them although it seems a little too futile after a while; as one guy puts it "the only way we as jews can put this behind us is by accepting these people"
  6. hicks in arizona are abducted by a ufo then come back as maniacally and emotionally unstable characters who are also super sensitive. pretty much a film version of x-files without the main characters taken to the nth degree
  7. me too man. me too http://youtu.be/ObHVKCP-W_A
  8. hahahaha !! this is next level shit. as if they weren't crying with laughter when making this?? (I mean, they probably weren't ... but they should have been.) "boots and pants and boots and pants.'" "boots and pants and boots and pants.'" yep. that was my favorite part as well. i actually quite liked it personally
