Good Documentaries.

First time I didn't mean to use it.

I think Jelly explained the use pretty well, as I recall, but you can easily get by without using semicolons at all, really. Or almost at all.

Yeah she did, that's why I asked for her advice. Writing never been something I was good at or had interest in. But now I'm trying to improve.

You already have improved.

 

[smoothg103rd]

You already have improved.

I learn better when I try things by hand. Explaining things to me just doesn't cut it. So I have been trying new things out and experimenting on my writing. The first time I really didn't mean to use a semicolon, but since you said something I have been trying to use it. It's crazy how being here made me want to improve my writing.

No bullshit, smoove, you could do a lot of things well if you really tried. You are obviously intelligent.

Funny, all of a sudden I feel like I'm talking down to you. That's the last thing I want to do.

I didn't take it that way. But yeah I know, I just got to apply myself. A lot of things just doesn't motivate me, and in a way I'm kind of lazy. I don't really want to work for things, I'm use to getting things handed to me. I'm a quiter, if I lose interest in something it's over.

Saw something on the subject. I did not realize how much of what we see as a revitalized Miami and all the newer high rises were so related to the cocaine trade. I thought it was the other way around, they had money and went to Miami because it was upscale. I didn't realize they made it that way with all that cash.


Ill look for it.

There is a Cocaine Cowboys II (2?). Same homicidal lady, Oakland, CA connection.

MARJOE

Documentary about Marjoe Gortner, who became a Pentacostal Preacher at 6 or something like that. Expose' of his adult life as a preacher, what frauds they all are. Lots of other preachers on the circuit unknowingly appear in it. The scene where they discuss how much money they keep and how much goes to God is about as raw as a documentary can be.

I saw it when it was running in the theaters some 40 years ago. No idea where you'd find it now. So I googled it. Here's some links to info, not necessarily the full film.

you can steal it on torrent sites. i've seen it. it's okay, but it was tainted by the fact that i'd just watched viv kneivel with marjo being all terrible and from the 70's in it.

There's a good one about genetic pollution I watched a few months ago. It may be Food, Inc., but I don't think so.

It was about the devil's corporation, Monsanto, and how they unleashed their patented soy bean, then started suing everyone who didn't pay their extortion fee as the bean cross pollinated with every other soy bean.

In the US, every soy bean is owned and controlled by Monsanto as a result of the genetic pollution.

I'm kind of obsessed with documentaries about the Holocaust. Maybe because I once loved a boy whose Uncle was a guard at Auschwitz.

Did you see "Hitler's Children?" I almost did not watch it because of the title, but it is about the descendants of the regime. How they feel about the atrocities by their fathers and grandfathers.

 

[Riles]

I love the Smithsonian Channel.

[Equinoxe]

noi grizzly man or anything else werner herzog? man, you guys are douchebags.

Or Werner Herzog-related documentaries, like Burden of Dreams or Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe?

grizzly man is great, but timothy doesn't come off too well.

i have not seen those. i should be ashamed. what kind of shoe did he eat?

 

[Riles]

grizzly man is great, but timothy doesn't come off too well.

He was kind of a Gomer in the book, and I'm not surprised he got eaten, but his photo ops were great!!

 

[pointless]

yeah, werner was impressed, but dude clearly had a deathwish. it's just too bad he had to take someone else with him.

but, yeah, it's highly recommended. i actually regret not watching it ages ago.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

 

[M. Jordan]

I think its called "The last days of Vietman" Its just coming out now. I saw it at a film festival.

 

[jomar]

Yes, Werner Herzog, thanks equinoxe.

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga was about the Russian badass I was trying to remember.

It's an oxymoron.

A replica:

Boiled in stock with garlic and herbs at Chez Panisse. Supposedly the very shoes he was wearing when he made a bet that Gates of Heaven would never be shown in theatres or he'd eat his shoes.


Burden of Dreams, on the other hand, is mostly about the making of Fitzcarraldo and is perhaps best known for a spectacular monologue that Herzog gives about how nature is inherently violent and trying to destroy us.

Yes, Werner Herzog, thanks equinoxe.

You shouldn't thank me, you were right before the edit.

I really only mentioned documentaries by Les Blank about Werner Herzog.
