Some kind of documentary...

Submitted by dantheman on Sun, 2005-02-13 17:30

Some kind of monster the doco on metallica has been released...

thoughts and opinions from those who have seen it..

it wasnt as great as i thought it would be, i expected there to be alot more shit flying around with jason and dave mustaine, than there was in the dvd,

in saying that though this dvd did give a pretty up close and personal insight into how close they were to breaking up altogether, and how this namby pamby shrink get in touch with your feelings shit could actaully work...

maybe if pantera(minus the fact that dimebag is dead of course), guns n roses had been thought it would they still be together today?????

Yeah. I think after Rob Reiner (This is Spinal Tap) quit, the creative processes for the movie really went downhill. It didn't really help that that the characters and music and band they created didn't really work that well as a concept.

That looks really interesting. As an aside, according the filmaker's wife:

//Lena Herzog, Werner's beautiful, formidable Siberian wife, describes an agreement made a few years ago between television's two nature giants -- National Geographic and the Discovery Channel: When showing animals mating, show no more than three thrusts. "Three! " Lena cries, incensed. "Now they are censoring the animals! And," she continues, in the hushed tones of a spy, "in the last year we noticed the thrusts have been reduced to one. One thrust!"

"It's Bush," Werner Herzog mutters.

"It's appalling," Lena continues. "No wonder American women are frustrated. What's worse is that no one has said anything -- not a single word." //

Taken out of context, the last bit of dialogue is pretty amusing:

//"It's Bush," Werner Herzog mutters.

"It's appalling," Lena continues. "No wonder American women are frustrated. What's worse is that no one has said anything -- not a single word."//

ok I brought it today & have watched part of it, some funny & interesting bits, their little fights, bits with Jason & Dave Mustine.
I reckon it was quite that they showed the other bassist's that tried out, like Scott Reeder from Kyuss, Jordie White (Twiggy), Eric from Janes Addiction, Chris from Nine Inch Nails, etc

FUUUUCK did anyone see that doco on Prime last night about the movie 'Bum Fights'? Maaan it was some unpleasant viewing! Fucked up teenagers in the US paid homeless alcoholics to fight each other and do all kinds of demeaning shit.... tattooed foreheads and the like. What's the world coming to etc etc.

Submitted by Joanna on Tue, 2005-02-15 14:50.

I didn't see that one - the best doco I've seen in a while is the one on Luddock, Texas, about the abstinence movement that's working oh-so-successfully.

I think it's a sign of a good doco when you want to put your fist through someone's head.

I'm haunted by the shot of this dude's broken ankle... aaaaaaaahouuuuch

I was going to watch it, but wasn't home at the time & forgot about it

// What's the world coming to etc etc.

Channel 4 in the UK is doing a reality TV in which the "contestants" are tortured in ways which seek to replicate what is believed to be happening in Guantanemo Bay.

People are suggesting there's something positive in that, but... no. There's not.

Submitted by jet on Tue, 2005-02-15 17:49.

Best doco I've seen recently is 'Outfoxed', re: Rupert Murdoch and FOX News. Just a great big "THIS IS SO FUCKED!!!" but in a much more rigorous (and much less hysterical) fashion than Mike Moore's recent efforts.

yes, but does that film maker have their own Ben & Jerry flavour now?
