The King Of Swing Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Managed to finish the Jonestown doc, some of the survivors telling their story of that terrible day is hard viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 7, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 7, 2012 yeh, you can't really imagine what those people experienced on that day, some of the captions shown at the end showing how many relatives they each lost made me gasp.

Loki Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Has Nick Broomfield ever actually made a good documentary? Strikes me that he's a useless twat who never seems to be able to get access to anything or anyone and never comes to any interesting conclusions in anything that he's ever done. he interviewed Wurnos extensively on Death Row, great documentary. I like everything ive seen by Broomfield. Really? I thought Kurt & Courtney was one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen. Have you seen Biggie & Tupac? He concludes that the head of Death Records had Tupac shot, IIRC, which was an interesting conclusion at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members MichaelScarn Posted December 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Saw King Of Kong over the weekend. Thought it was OK, but not as good as I had hoped. Edited December 11, 2012 by MichaelScarn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 20, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 Watched Fetishes by Nick Broomfield tonight. Absolutely awful on almost every level. Either Broomfield is a complete fucking ignoramus and idiot who genuinely doesn't understand anything or he's extremely clever and managed to dress up a bit of kinky grot as a serious factual film to get a general release. Either way, it's borderline offensive and Broomfield is fucking shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Broomfield always makes his documentaries about himself. He is awful, Max Carlish with a budget. Watched Religiolous, the Bill Maher doc. It was brilliant, he was like a more bullish Louis Theroux the way he gave them all enough rope.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Watched 'Everyday Sunshine' the story of 90's LA alt-rockers 'Fishbone'. A bit of a one hit wonder who had a reputation for incredible live shows but never had the commercial success to match although coming close several times. Excellent film, funny shocking & sad. It's on Netflix & I'd highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Cheers, Mike, will look out fit that! Was "Swim" the hit you had in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's the only song of theirs I've ever heard! It's on the Last Action Hero soundtrack (which is awesome, as is the film, and I won't hear a word otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yeah 'Swim' was one of them, 'Everyday Sunshine' was another. I usually tend to gravitate towards music, sports or stand-up docs & this was definitely one of the better ones. There's some good input from other people who were around the LA music scene at the time (Flea, Ice T) & some of the concert footage from the time is fantastic.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) The Two Escobars has just recently been put up. A good one. Most of the "ESPN 30 for 30" are classic. Out of the ones I've watched, "June 17, 1994", "Without Bias", "Jordan Rides the Bus", "Tim Richmond: To the Limit (Have the Kleenex ready)" and "Into the Wind" have all been great. ESPN Classics shows films from the series occasionally. Not in the 30:30 series, ESPN Classics showed one called "Goose" a few days ago that was really good. Check that one out. The life of Reece “Goose” Tatum who played in Negro League baseball and was an original member of the legendary Harlem Globetrotters.
