Enjoyable doco for anyone old enough to remember owning an Atari 2600 (with the infamous E.T. game cartridge!)

There is this great music doco (mini series) that I caught on and a while back called Metal Evolution. I loved it. If your a music fan you'll like it, it's about the evolution of music and how it started, and how classical music had such a large impact on Metal. Get your hands on it.

The Perverts Guide to ideology. Very interesting a conversation doco about philosophically looking at society through the eyes of film.

Watched the first three parts of Auschwitz; Inside the Nazi state last night.

Horrifying viewing.

Such human atrocities

This two-part documentary takes viewers back to the '60s and '70s and charts how Australia got its own rock 'n roll thanks to the life-long bond between music company Alberts and the Youngs.


Looking forward to this, plenty of my favourite tunes come from that period.

Saw the Senna documentary film the other day again. One of the best sports ones you can hope to see.

I really like a good gaming documentary, another one worth watching is Indie Game: The Movie, looking at three successful indie games (Braid, Super Meat Boy and Fez) and their developers.

I watched the Netflix doco Keith Richards: Under the Influence the other day and really enjoyed it. The doco focuses on Keith's musical influences and his work on a solo album (which the doco was made to support), but Keith Richards is just so easy to watch and listen to and the stories about the influence of guys like Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf made it pretty easy way to spend and hour and a bit.

This was on last night, very interesting and amusing in parts . . .

I was surprised to learn that E.T. actually wasn't that bad of a game, and doesn't deserve the bad reputation it got.

Also, I wasn't concentrating at one part in the documentary so can someone tell me what was the story with that supernerd picking up a Delorean from George R. R. Martin? LOL.

This doco made me want to play some Atari again. The good thing about those games was that they were pure games that tested reflexes or memory etc, whereas SOME games these days just rely on repetition really. Story-driven games like Skyrim for example just rely on putting hours into the game rather than having any real skill.

Friend gave me a copy of Prophets Prey, gee there are still some sick religious cults still out there.

Just watched "The White Helmets" on netflix

Syrian locals who hit the rubble soon as the city has ben bombed to save those inside. Pretty quick, but a great insight into some brave people.

Bitter Lake - How Afghanistan got all f***ed uo and the genesis of Isis

 

[Asgardian]

Mentioned 5 years ago in this thread, Restrepo deserves an introduction to a new audience, life on the front line in Afghanistan is hard and dirty work.

Memory of the Camps is the footage filmmakers took when the Americans & British first entered the Nazi concentration camps, this footage was put together by various directors, Hitchcock was one of them, and then sat for 40 odd years in the Imperial War Museum.

Like It Is is a doco from 1968 looking at the San Francisco hippies "youth movement" and slams it's message into your face with an amount of nudity that will frankly blow you away. Have a look at the trailer on YouTube.

The Love Goddesses is a delight for movie buffs exploring the beautiful ladies on film from Lillian Gish & Theda Bara to Brigitte Bardot.

The Curse of the Swastika is a doco put out by the British government in the very early days of WW2 promising an early victory over the evil German leader and his nation of mindless bits of cannon fodder.

Anyone know of any good docos on Australian history, particular the colonial/convict era? I know of the ones like The First Australians and political ones like the Howard Years or the one on Hawke/Keating but would love some on the early settler time. I have a one hour doco somewhere called Convict Australia and the conditions they went through were some of the most horrific, especially in Tassie.

 

[Gasometer]

That time of the year again...not much on TV wise...

Watched 'Interview with a Murderer' on SBS the other night...fascinating story about a character that gets a criminologist to research a crime he believes he was wrongly accused of committing with unexpected fallout.

Aired June 2016 and is currently on SBS Demand.

There is one from a couple of years back 'Van Diemens Land' 2009 that is brutal retelling of the convict cannibal.
