If you're going to praise something, at least get its name right. 'All Licked Over By Machines of Loving Grace'? (lol xp)
Not gonna retread why I hated it in detail, though - pretty sure I posted a few annoyances on the dedicated thread.

I didn't know a thing about Adam Curtis until this conversation started. This is good. (Not sure how I'll see this stuff if it's BBC, though.)

Not one for downloading films, and really hate watching anything longer than a short clip off the computer.

i doubt the good old beeb would sue. like 'la plays itself' i don't think it could be put on dvd even if there were a market, because it uses loads of copyright material. (like broadcast is governed by different rules than dvd or something.)

I voted for one Adam Curtis: The Mayfair Set.

"la plays itself" is a gay porn film. just sayin'

You did vote for The Mayfair Set, yes. And there is an Adam Curtis film in the top 25.

wrongly naming that film has become just an annoying thing that i do.

not sure, iirc it was really long and the narrator seemed overly-sedate. just total snooze-fest. should i watch it again, its been years since i've seen it

Limp Bizkit is surprisingly front and centre in this thread.

I do keep on getting confused by the auto-embed of TamTam's display name.

i havent seen it in a long time myself, but i gave it 5 points anyway. i need to watch it again

im hoping that it confuses someone into clicking on it looking for a hot documentary clip

Wow, I had no idea this was in progress. "Gleaners & I" is so good, and casually profound. "WR: Mysteries of the Organism" I can't stand. "Winged Migration" I can watch all day. The perfect example of a doc that shows you something common from such a (literally) different angle it changes the way you think about said something, in this case, um, wings. But man, are those flapping/gliding wings so cool.

Wd have voted for LA Plays Itself if I knew we were opening up slots to gay porn.

I showed Winged Migration to my two grade 6 science classes last year, and most of them were pretty attentive through most of it.
― clemenza, Friday, 12 August 2011 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
The only thing I really remember about Winged Migration is that I bought a bottle of wine and some brie and crusty bread to consume while I watched it.
― jaymc, Friday, 12 August 2011 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
that really sounds delicious
― A41 (admrl), Friday, 12 August 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
Obviously I provided my students with wine and crusty bread.

three of mine placed so far. (i was the other shoah voter if it makes you feel any better morbs.) (on the other hand, i voted for fog of war.) enjoying this so far. thanks, c.

whoops, make that four. i figure about another three have a shot. the other three, not so much.
i think i have ~10 that still have a shot at placing.

Oh man I haven't had a chance to read through this yet but I'm psyched that brother's keeper placed. I gave it a lot of points iirc. I think I may have voted for hated too but I can't remember.

Brother's Keeper is so heartbreaking, the non-fiction equiv. of "A Simple Plan."
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 13 August 2011 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
Loved it, have to see it again.
Fans of Anvil who wished it had more pathos and OCD dramedy should check out Driver 23, which is almost a companion piece to American Movie (American Metal?). I didn't vote for any of those but they'd make my Top 100.

Josh you were the one who recommended it to me on the netflix thread! :)

I thought Brother's Keeper was really quite boring
― A41 (admrl), Saturday, 13 August 2011 05:21 (twelve years ago) link
i would love to see driver 23 but it is oop yes?
also how in the world is brothers keeper boring
― I dream of vodka sandwich (jjjusten), Saturday, 13 August 2011 07:02 (twelve years ago) link
Like, it bored me. It seemed realllllly drawn out and ultimately rather pointless. It just wasn't "well-crafted" (can't think of a better term, sorry)
― A41 (admrl), Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link
huh. experiences differ etc i guess
― I dream of vodka sandwich (jjjusten), Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:22 (twelve years ago) link
i found it engaging but i wasn't really blown away. it's a unique and sad story, but formally it's a very familiar kind of doc.
― king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
i guess i can see that - the story outweighed the style for me prob - which is super true of one of my other choices but im not saying anything because i am still holding out hope that it places
― I dream of vodka sandwich (jjjusten), Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:25 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah i'm not making a style v. substance argument here. i mean i prefer to have both, but "transparent style" is also a style etc etc.
― king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
i need to revisit it, but like admrl, i was left v v cold by BK a few years ago.
apologies for not participating in this (seventeen would have made it, i bet!), good work getting this together clemeneza, etc. but srsly fuck the canon, it's missing almost everything i love.
