You are not a f*cking DJ. You’re an overpaid, untalented, cake-throwing c*nt.

Really poor quality video, its a VHS rip, but if you have the patience this doc is well worth a look.

Really loved Man on Wire. The guy was so typically French - arrogant, focused and smoking cigarettes while training actually standing on the rope.

Waste Land, excellent docu-film.

Man on Wire, Exit through the gift shop or A taxi to the dark side. All excellent!

This is really good, lovely gem of an uplifting film

Anyone got any other good documentary recommendations? I used to watch loads but have not seen any decent ones in ages. Inside Job was ok.

However, saw this last night. Not really a standard doco. Can't say much without giving it away but its really not what you might expect

This is a cool doc. You might get it all in one part if you search but in work so this is the best I can atm.

Thanks for reminding me about that, nearly forgot it was on. All his documentaries are amazing.

Zascar

Brilliant thanks for the heads up Andy. Love his stuff. "The Century of the Self" was excellent, as was "The Power of Nightmares". Cool I'll be glued to this one tonight!

Most excellent it was, I like the way he tied in Rand with the New Economics.
Depressing, though accurate conclusion regarding the transfer of power to the banksters

cranky bollix

i had never heard of rand before, strikes me as someone who was in dire need as hug when she was a child.

not forgetting that, this post is a commodity

I'm sure you guys get this a lot, but I can only smile every time I see this thread title pop up on the main page.

Rand was a nutjob, Atlas Shrugged, a poor book by any standard, somehow has become the manifesto of the libertarian far-right

I've always felt I was too pretty for prison - and after watching this I know I wouldn't last more than a day.

Watched it last night and was thinking to myself that I don't believe in hell but that place would make you have second thoughts. I get shivers even thinking about that place.

That is some scary a55 sh1t alright.

I kinda feel sorry for the short nerdy looking guy - but I reckon he must have done something fairly nuts to end up there in the first place.

Not that I get out much, but it really kills me that a gig only really gets going about 12, and by 3am you're outside on the footpath going WTF?

Not likely to change over here while I'm still able to tap a toe though sadly. Too strong a link between opening hours and drinking/barney rubble. Why not give us 4 hours drinking up time once the bar closes?
