Donatella Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I still need towatchthat Dear Zachary as I still dont have a clue what its about. OHMYGODNO! Do not watch Dear Zachary! I watch true crime docs all the time. I've probably seen over a hundred. I fall asleep most nights watching Forensic Files. Nothing shocks me anymore. But Dear Zachary ripped my heart out, stomped on it, surgically reattached it and then RIPPED IT OUT AGAIN. If this makes you want to watch it more, I will say this. Don't look up anything about it before watching. The friend who recommended it to me gave me the same advice and he was right, it has much more of an impact if you don't know anything. I wish I still didn't know anything...it's so awful. So. Awful. Edited June 1, 2017 by Donatella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) So yeah I had to simmer on that one, you werent lying Donnie. Holy fuck. I started watching it withKatherine, and I told her "this is supposed to be fucked up." We're watching it and watching it, going through the ups and downs. Just waiting. Until... Shit. Had to immediately watch something funny after that to wash that griminess away. Then after letting a little time pass it hit me... Shirley Turner IS Betsy Devos. Were really fucked.

Visitant Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Upcoming: ‘To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story’: To Hell and Back is a harrowing story of a stuntman overcoming a dehumanizing childhood filled with torment and bullying in Sparks, Nevada. After surviving a near-death burn accident, he worked his way up through Hollywood, leading to his ultimate rise as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series and making countless moviegoers forever terrified of hockey masks and summer camp. After decades of watching Kane Hodder on screen, get ready to meet the man behind the mask in To Hell and Back – a uniquely human story ‘FredHeads’ Will Focus On Hardcore ‘Elm Street’ Fans: Over the weekend, Venn Pictures announced its latest project with FredHeads, an upcoming documentary centered on the rabid fandom that surrounds the enduring Nightmare on Elm Street franchise – specifically, how the franchise has changed the lives of so many people over the years. Filming for the doc will take place at Flashback Weekend this August and Scarefest this September. “It’s about the heart and soul of horror, and what Nightmare means to people,” they say. The documentary will follow 3 fans as they tell their story and what their journey in the Nightmare community has been; some as fans, others rising through popularity. Along the way, we will be filming at conventions and getting as many fan stories as possible to feature as many fans as we can in the documentary.

Little Nemo McFly Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sweet. I love these kinda docs - where they put a spotlight on hardcore fans / fan communities...I'll shamelessly admit I have an obsessive personality - I don't feel so nuts when I see sum seriously real hardcore fans. Love it. More interested in 'Fredheads' than 'the Kane Hodder story'. But I'll still watch 'Hell n' Back', waiting for the chapter where Hodder waxes on about his interactions w/ the fan community and tales from 'Behind the Scenes' of the Friday films.

Donatella Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Fredheads sounds awesome! That franchise is what got me into horror films at a very young age, so I'm really hyped to see that one!!

The NZA Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 hearing it's a pretty interesting look at idol/otaku culture, including the darker side of it. same source pointed at this older, more heartbreaking one in the same vein: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 ^ I saw this (Tokyo Idols) maybe a couple o' weeks ago. Yeah, pretty good. Recommended as an 'inside look' at a whole culture you've never heard of, but masses of people swear by it. Love docs 'bout Japan and it's culture - it's another world over there...

FireDownBelow Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Netflix: The 80's. Specifically, the episode regarding the growing awareness of AIDS. Highly informative for those of us who were children at the time and might recall only the tension and unease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The first trailer for the upcoming documentary The Orange Years has been released online. The film chronicles the origins and success of the cable channel Nickelodeon in the 1990s, featuring interviews with the stars and creators of the content that dominated the childhoods of those coming of age two decades ago. Shows like All That, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, and Clarissa Explains It All served to speak directly to kids without pandering, and they did so while also countering the more younger-skewing programming on Disney Channel. This trailer finds the stars and writers of those shows not only discussing the popularity of Nickelodeon, but how the guiding vision of Geraldine Laybourne allowed these series to traverse more mature content. It was precisely this mix of kid-friendly shows with a smidge of rebellion that made Nickelodeon so popular throughout the 90s. This trailer makes this film a must-watch for someone like me, who grew up on a steady diet of Nickelodeon programming. Directed by Scott Barber and Adam Sweeney, the film is due to premiere on November 15th at DOC NYC at the SVA Theater in New York City (click here to buy tickets), but doesn’t yet have a release date. One imagines someone like Netflix could pick this up to great success. Here’s hoping we get to see it sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDownBelow Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 https://www.pbs.org/video/slavery-another-name-slavery-video/ Slavery By Another Name. A look at how the States made slavery worse after freedom was supposed to have been granted. Be warned, it's brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just watched Fyre Fraud on Hulu and HOO BOY. There's not much else that's as entertaining as watching a bunch of rich white people getting grifted. Damn good doc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
