A documentary about Adults accused of child molestation in Bakersfield..horrible. Can't remember the name, caught it on Netflix.




Yeah, that second one has to be ...Friedmans.







no it it doesn't sound like capturing the friedmans which is not in bakersfield but rather long island. i think you are referring to witch hunt narrated by sean penn?
 
Monster Camp - all about LARP





Skateboard Kings - good footage of the Dogtown skaters doing their thing

Swedish Doc on Albert Ayler: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1KIE6FMZ


it's mostly in english (not dubbed) but there are some short passages in swedish
 
Between the Folds. About some serious next level origami. Only saw the first 20 minutes or so, but shit blew my mind.








Pressure Cooker. About a high school cooking competition. Feel-good, heart warming stuff. Really good, if you are into that sort of thing.








Objectified. About industrial design. not amazing, but really interesting.


 
I watched Cities on Speed - Bogota last year and it really made me not too excited about going to visit. "A city of people who hated their city" (or something like that).





Anyhow, I visited last month and had a great itme. So, the stuff in the doc must have worked.





 
The Mumbai one was boring unless you like endless footage of NIMBY meetings.
 
If you're looking for artful older fare I heartily recommend the Allan King box set just released by Eclipse (Criterion "no frills" sub-label). The late 60s / early 70s titles such as A Married Couple and Come On Children will thrill fans of the Maysles, Frederick Wiseman, etc.

Bingo.


Thats the one.





I started watching "I Need That Record" two days ago, got 17 minutes in and stopped.


Not sure if I'll go back..
 
this a good one if you are a fan of garage rock...arguably, Fort Worth probably had the greatest garage scene of any city in the country as far as sheer numbers of realy really good bands and records


 
BBC's Lost Land of the Tiger. About searching for tigers in Bhutan, 4-5000 feet up in the Himalayas. Some group is trying to make a tiger corridor to link up all the small habitats and enclaves. Brilliant. BBC is without question, king of the natural world documentary.
 
Martin said:This dude said fuck it and moved to Alaska in the 70s on some pristine lake front property. Built a log cabin and chilled for about 30 years til he couldnt handle the winters. Pretty crazy to think 4 generations ago my family built their home, now my city-fied ass can barely hang a picture straight.













aw this was the shit this dude hated people! i used to watch this whenever it was on pbs. i think he hated women too which wasn't too cool but his project was incredible to watch.
 
This is actually sort of embarrassing, and I'm not sure how good the actual doc was, but it was def interesting -- from what I saw of it.











Listening to dude from Entourage "narrate" was painful, though.
