oooh i liked Fog of War. I also liked the whole paradise lost series. Very hard to determine what was right and wrong in those ones. Something to keep you up at night.

[The Sandmen]

Stevie and Capturing the Friedmans - along those same lines too.

Though I have seen Paradise Lost and West of Memphis and felt in the end they were a lot clearer than they were half way through. Followed that since the first Doc. Great series for sure, with an ending as strange as the whole saga.

"The corporation" was awesome!! kinda scary though.

Just finished The Central Park Five. Our world sucks.

Wrestling with shadows I found to be good.. before everyone came out and agreed that they screwed bret and it wasn't bret screwing bret. Now that we know all about what happened.. not too informative.

[The Sandmen]

Yeah, but man, when that aired for the first time, it blew my mind. I knew nothing about any of it, I was fresh into WWF about 5-6 months after that, so it was like, "Whoa, shit." Plus, it still holds up as a decent story about heroes and how we rape them in this day and age. "It's hard to find a hero anywhere." Great opening line.

Dear Zachary, I'm not sure any documentary will ever top the emotional impact that film absolutely destroyed me with.

www.hbocanada.com/vice/ - this is a documentary series on HBO that people should check out.

Cropsey was an odd one as well.
Food Inc. was a bit disturbing.
Supersize Me - I love that this entire flick, which I will now call a flick and not a doc, was completely debunked by a University in the states.

[The Sandmen]

Supersize Me annoyed me. REALLY? You think if you eat nothing but gross shit you'll puke? And you think we should call 90 minutes of you puking all over a "documentary"? Grow the fuck up.

His most recent documentary was better though, "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold".

[The Rocketmen]

I'd like to see that one, but yeah they basically re-did the test in the States with 30 students, and apparently the cholesterol growth was complete bullshit and a lot of other claims were completely inaccurate. One sec, I find it:

Just finished The Imposter on Netflix. Check it out. What a strange story.

[The Sandmen]

Watching a Nova documentary about this family that walks on all 4s. It includes a part with a dog that walks on 2 lets. WOrth watching just for that brief scene alone. GO DOG GO!

[The Sandmen]

Just recommended Bowling for Columbine to a young fellow who'd never seen it. Thoughts on B4C?

I got really mad at a documentary called "the woman who wasn't there" it was horrible.. it was about a lady who tells everyone her horror stories of 9-11 and how she was in one of the buildings and what happened to her.. but little by little people become suspicious and realize she is full of bs and she wasn't even in the us on 9-11. how someone could do something like that appauled me.

i also saw "where in the world is osama bin laden" which came out obviously before he was captured and it was with the same dude from supersize me. complete crap.
