What was the doc that just came out about some Indy/F1 driver, Spanish guy I think. Someone (stevew?) posted a youtube of the trailer sometime back. Sorry my recollection is so vague, I'm not a race fan by any means but the trailer was really good and made me want to see it and there was quite a bit of buzz about it at the time.

*edit: Never mind, found it. Not available with no release date on netflix.

Aryton Senna was a Brazilian god. its already been released in Japan and is due in the UK in June. the US release date keeps getting pushed back again and again but again rumored to be late summer.
it just won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January

Oh and dear god who could forget about the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia?

I watched that last night, it was not a surprise to see it was a dickhouse production.

He took the clip out and put the gun to his head to prove it wasn't loaded and blew his brains out.

 

[PatBranch]

This was really good.

Watched "Exit Through the Gift Shop" last night. Loved it, though I must say I think I fall into the camp of people who suspect that the movie may in fact be a mockumentary. The whole time I was watching it I felt like I was watching some kind of weird performance art. That in no way diminishes the movie however, fact or not, it was fantastic.

"The Bridge"
About suicide jumpers on the golden gate bridge.
Interviews some survivors, lots of footage of people swan diving off of there. Depressing, but I enjoyed watching it.

 

[Westy]

Thanks Kenan. Watching this now...

edit..it's making me feel much better about myself.

Stopped at a West Virginian McDonald's to piss the other day. It was ****ed up, I was the only one in the building with less than five chins.

Good recommendation. I watched it last night. It was surprisingly beautiful and peaceful.

Much as I am no longer a fan, I did, and still do like A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica, though primarily the studio portion. There is a recent VH1 show floating around that revisits the studio time spent on the Metallica (black) album, and it was interesting to see the band and Bob Rock talk about the recording process and looking back on it.

I have Cliff 'Em All, but I can't stand them post Cliff. I dig the early footage with Dave Mustaine, but I am a huge Megadeth fan.

you could have just pissed on the wall outside....no one would have noticed.

I still remember watching Senna's last race with my dad (we were huge F1 fans)...jesus....still gives me chills...

Client 9

Heh...The entire time I was watching this, I had one of the SNL jokes they did on Spitzer going through my head the entire time...

My dad said watching Senna race was like watching god. You couldn't help but be a fan.

Surprised no one has mentioned Catfish. I saw it in the theater recently...ssstttrrrraaaaannnggeeeee one for sure.

Probably because it's not a documentary... but it was strange.

Anyway, When God Grew Tired Of Us was excellent.

 

[stosh]

District 9 is one of the better ones I've seen.

Sorry man, I tried to spread rep for this one.

 

[jimmydean]

I've been told Deliver Us from Evil is good, but I can't stomach the idea of watching it, that was the church I went to as a kid. Too close to home.

Just DLed William Burroughs-A Man Within.
Gonna check that out soon.

Another good one is Brothers Keeper - about the Ward brothers in a NY village. One of the brothers had been ill for years and was found dead one morning. They figure it had been a mercy killing by one of the others. anyways... it gets interesting.

Just finished watching this one. Solid recommendation. That haughty medical examiner was quite a piece of work.

Never understood the fascination with Bill Hicks, he just was not funny. He had some good points but little more than a stoned freshman philosophy major would come up with.

It's an interesting story about how he started in clubs at 16 and went through a pretty nasty booze run by the time he was about 22 (living like he was 35) until he sobered up. But his comedy is dark and angry, so a lot of folks didn't enjoy it and he gets very little credit for inspiring a lot of great comics.

I wouldn't recommend it to most folks I know, but for fans of dark or smart comedy, it's a good flick.

He may have been dark and smart but he wasn't funny, at all.

Doug Stanhope, that ****er is funny and makes Hicks look like a fuzzy bunny.

just watched Brothers at War and it was pretty good

Doug was a whole other level, one of my all time favs for sure. If you want to see funny, watch Mitch Headberg's FIRST comedy central special. A room full of people who have no idea what funny is and he rolls through it like a champ.

Mitch makes me laugh, but it's even funnier to me to see people who don't get the joke.

"You may have seen this next comedian at the store."

Wal-Mart: The High Price of Low Cost. Further proof we should not set foot in there.

Watched an amusing one the other day called "Beer Wars". Its about micro and regional breweries and how hard it is to go up against the big three.

 

[boostindoubles]

Does 'Where the Buffalo Roam' count as a Documentary? I'd say Thompson lived the American Dream

Young @ Heart. About an old folks choir covering rock songs. Just happened to stumble across it on teh netflix the other night and was intrigued enough to watch the first couple minutes and never turned it off. Absolutely fantastic movie.

Anyone mention the story of Dick Proenneke, "Alone in the wilderness"...so much awesome...man had some SKILLS!

"Darwin's Nightmare". it's about the commercial fishery of Nile Perch in Lake Victoria in Tanzania. very troubling.

Loved that one. And the lady that hosts it is allergic to beer

I'm not reading through 8 pages to see if anyone else has mentioned it, but "A Pixar Story" is really good. Its about the history of Pixar and computer animation.

My wife and I both enjoyed it. She refused to have our daughter born in a hospital unless there were complications. She interviewed midwives and we had our daughter at home with a midwife team who were awesome.

The total cost out of pocket for our daughter was $1500 for midwife services including follow up appointments and post care. Very low stress and I can't see doing it any other way unless there are complications.

Not that I would have any more kids at this point, but my personal experience and this movie showed me even more.

That's exactly the direction we're heading. The cost is covered under heathcare so I think everything will be fine. My wife is due Dec 6....I can't wait!!
