Judy Allen acts like Liebeck being a passenger in the vehicle somehow changes the story? That no neck idiot will just enrage me if I watch the full version, no thanks.

Guess I'll contribute with Side by Side. If you're into movies, watch it.

In case you haven't noticed the fact that McDonald's brewed their coffee at much higher temperatures than what home brewers (coupled with the fact that she only wanted the medical bills covered due to McDonald's using temperatures much higher than normal) can bring the coffee to changes the story. If she had coffee spilled in her lap from your average mister coffee after being in a cup she wouldn't have needed skin grafts... that might be something to think about if you can ever leave your comforting "no new ideas bubble"

*e2a*

After watching the secret "Frontline: The Secret History of ISIS" I'd say that anyone conned into supporting the invasion of Iraq in 2003 needs to be strapped in

"A Clockwork Orange Style" and made to watch it along with news footage from Iraq from 2004-2007

Sugar Coated

This documentary investigates the history of the food industry's use of sugar, its health impact on society and the politics of the "new tobacco."

The Canadian Screen Award winner exposes the bitter truth about the secret PR campaigns of the sugar industry.

It makes you wish that all of that was possible in the USA, unfortunately it is not. Cherry picked nations and policies.

It's kind of ironic you say that, because that's the opposite of the message of the movie - it is possible in the US.

Whenever the documentary/film for this article/upcoming book is released

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/11/gay-talese-the-voyeurs-motel

Talk about creepo. I love docs about strange people, especially those people that are completely unaware of their delusions. it's like a lot of posters here.



After reading the above article, my first thought was that Herzog needs to write, produce, and direct the film adaptation of this story.

And he would narrate or play the creepster guy. I mean, come on, he is just so awesome both on camera and behind it. (Did you see him playing the part of the Father in Julien Donkey boy with "spud" from trainspotting Ewen Bremner? Julien Donkey boy may have been trash, but Bremner & Herzog were like a gift from the gods!)


Another gift perhaps ...
Werner Herzog playing the Father in Julien Donkey Boy .. ...
His character is more or less the same as Donald Trump

Jiro dreams of sushi. Maybe my favorite.

Oh man, I forgot about that. If I had had the money, I would have bought a spot in line & flown out there as soon as I got a reservation. Great documentary :thumbsup:

I actually like Richard Jenkins for the part.

If that were the message maybe he could put in "If we only did {this} then we could have {this}". Instead it is "Look how much we suck because this specific country has {this}".

Maybe if he got off his lazy ass for three minutes he could have put together a "If we cut military spending by 47% we could accomplish a healthcare system for everyone in the USA, free". Instead he just says "Look at our run away spending."

I'd love to work 36 hour weeks with 2 hour lunch breaks where my kid goes to a school that serves the freshest food and when my wife gets too stressed she can get a free two week spa trip all paid by taxes. But tell me what it takes to do that. Not to mention the largest country he went to was only a 3rd of the US population.

Prescription Thugs. Documentary about how corrupt and shitty the pharma industry is. It's fairly biased (as are most documentaries) but it does make one think.

Trying to get through this one. I'm about half way through right now, but the bullshit is getting a bit much to take. Really unfortunate, because there is a massive amount of truth to the underlying thesis - just wish it wasn't presented so poorly.

Honestly his documentaries aren't that good even though they cover pretty important topics. Trophy Kids, I couldn't get through. Bigger Stronger Faster was interesting, but poorly put together.
