watched Exit Through the Gift Shop about a month ago.

I thought that guy was a douche too..

Collapse sounds kinda depressing (?)

Are the extreme snow sports ones any fun to watch?

The exact guerrilla group I was referring to lol, and yes, it is a documentary.

I guess Exit Through the Gift Shop is up for an Oscar. Pretty good flick IMO. Oh, and you can watch on Hulu right now.

Collapse. Description copied from Netflix. Highly recommend it.

"In an avant-garde soliloquy, investigative journalist Michael Ruppert details his unnerving theories about the inexorable link between energy depletion and the collapse of the economic system that supports the entire industrial world. Helmed by filmmaker Chris Smith (American Movie), Ruppert's monologue explains how the lies and political propaganda fed to Americans by big business will eventually lead to human extinction."

Ruppert, for those that don't know, is also the guy that used to publish the "fromthewilderness" newsletter/web site. Guy is chock full of interesting conspiracy theories and such. I haven't watched this yet, but will. I used to read this guy all the time.


Last night we watched the "Vice Guide to Travel: Liberia" talk about abject poverty, just absolutely horrible conditions.

Although the history of the freed slaves going to LIberia, establishing a country and basically turning all the indigenous peoples into near slaves is mind-blowing.

It's too bad the "Vice" guys didn't get a chance to do more stuff.

Some of my favs:
Baja 1000 Classic & Dust to Glory

Werd. Dust to Glory was fantastic. Simply amazing.

Street Thief

it's not a documentary. it's shot in documentary style, but fiction. A good watch, however.

Morning Light. simply epic and really moving. I never thought that sailing was all that interesting until I saw this film.

Pursuit of Function was interesting, just to see the JDM craze and how it all began. Put into perspective how owning a honda can be more than just owning a car. The entire film is on youtube.

does teckademics count? harrrrrrrrrrrr

30 days (TV) was great if you were a fan of "super size me".

My step sister was on that show. She was the ASU student that was worrying her mother with her drinking, so her mom drank for 30 days straight. That's her mom on the right.

Touching The Void! Amazing

does Top Gear count as a documentary?
