corporation im half way threw it. pretty crazy stuff.

I couldn't get through Corporation. it was super boring and mostly stuff that you'd already know if you paid attention to media

if anything, it just confirms suspicions. anybody else think that?
 
I wated "Anvil - the story of Anvil" today. it was pretty good.


a couple I've been meaning to watch;


The Bridge - The Golden Gate Bridge, with its views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline, is an American icon and a major tourist destination. But it is also the site of more suicides than any other place in the world. The question of why this particular bridge is such a magnet for suicides (along with the broader issue of suicide, and mental illness in general) is explored in Eric Steele’s debut documentary, which he began to work on after reading Tad Friend’s New Yorker article on the subject. Every day during 2004, Steele set up his cameras and filmed the Golden Gate Bridge during daylight hours. Day after day, he and his crew observed thousands of people crossing the bridge on foot from San Francisco to Marin County and back. They filmed everyone from tourists to bicyclists, but ever so often a person would climb over one small part of the bridge’s mile-long railing and let go. However, while the camera can record the act of suicide, it cannot tell us what leads a person to such an extreme action or what thoughts run through someone’s mind during those last moments. In an attempt to uncover some of these mysteries, Steele crossed the country in order to interview friends and families of the jumpers he captured on film, on-scene witnesses to various jumps, and even a jump survivor. These testimonials elevate the jumpers in the film from nameless statistics to human beings whose lives have inexorably led them to a tragically decisive moment on the Golden Gate Bridge. Like the bridge itself, this film is beautiful, powerful, and possesses an underlying darkness.


ZOO - A look at the life of a Seattle man who died as a result of an unusual encounter with a horse. This movie was critically acclaimed, yet highly disturbing from what I've read. It's about zooiphilia. people who have relationships with animals. The dude it's about died after getting pumped in the *** by his horse a horse. If anyone has ever had the misfortune of see www.2guys1horse.com , that's the guy! LOL
 
if you're not into downloading documentaries and such, you should check out ninjavideo (streaming tv,movies,docs, UFC.. to kill the time). http://www.ninjavideo.net/docus Some of them are even in 720p HD, like the full planet earth series. I like David Attenborough shows too. And i also watched "Jesus Camp" in philosophy class... anyone down for getting brainwashed?

The cove - Actually pretty sad. Really informative. I'd watch this one again

Enron: Smartest guys in the room - Interesting stuff. The only thing I can't get past is how they managed to get all those recordings of Enron traders saying all those things. You'd think that Enron would get rid of that evidence along with most of their papers.

Dust to glory - McCoy's a beast for doing the whole thing alone while there were 3 drivers/riders for each vehicle. I would love to journey there just to ride some of the trails that they did. Amazing look into the Baja race.

199 lives - Never realized how talented Pastrana was

Food Inc - The part about corn was pretty mind-blowing. I have more of an appreciation for farmer's markets now.

the cove is very good, all the work that went into that makes it a winner.

199 lives is awesome, travis is the most down to earth gnarliest action sports star of all time.

food Inc makes you never want to eat again...ps milton farmers market is not to shabby nothing like the smell of fresh produce, and a big shinning sun on a saturday morning.
