have to say, this documentary really annoyed me in the end. Loads of interesting information about a whole load of different stuff, but absolutely no solid argument put forward. Really flakey tying together of stuff.

Tbh, as I said in my post, I watched all the episodes wellllllll past my bedtime so the patchy nature probably suited my state of mind while watching them. I did find the style of the documentary quite difficult to get into at first, especially the beginning of the first episode.

I thought the third episode would tie the whole thing together but because it didn't the whole series now looks like a really flimsy, pretentious piece of work with no coherent theme whatsoever.

It's funny, I did often where the f was the documentary going, as it did seem to jump all over the place but I just put that down to tiredness.

I did like all the IMF and Asian stuff in the first episode, but for the life of me I can't remember what the second episode was about.

The Rwandan thing was really silly I thought. Belgian colonialism caused the outright violent mess that ensued. The exact same story happened with nearly every other African country that was born out of Western Imperialism. So that pretty much makes every African country.

I found that really interesting though, especially considering their past indirect genocidal activities. 4.5 million killed during the reason conflict, and an estimated 10 million during Belgium's King Leopold II's reign. That's a record Hitler would be proud of.

I really think this documentary proved why television documentaries are a really bad way of making a point. Retro images, nice music and a really flimsy argument do not a good point make.

:eek:

I'll let Homer answer that one.....

Homer: You're welcome to watch anything you want on TV.
Bart: TV Sucks.
Homer: I know you're upset right now so I'll pretend you didn't say that!

There were as an implied vague argument about how its actually our genes that are the over-arching power in this world and how their propagation and survival is perfectly calculable and hence we as a species are perfectly predictable, but sure most of us know that anyway.

Then again, I liked looking at the monkeys.

Im starting to beleive your waffle now jeff!, anyone could have predicted your response to the doc. baz posted about, so you are right, we are predictable:pac:

Actually, on the point of predictability. Didn't the documentary make the point that the way Hamilton killed himself was anything but predictable?

I enjoyed the 3 of them. They all had some interesting facts that sparked a few ideas in my head. I'm going to watch them again this weekend because there was a lot to take in.

Big thanks to Ianuss for that Expat Shield recommendation. It's quality. Proper 'TV on demand'.

Well, The Shadow Line on BBC1 turned out to be a complete pile of poo. After a promising start it went downhill pretty quickly. One of the most stupidliest endings to a series.

It would be counter productive for sales for apple, you would just get yourself a phone that doesnt have the software & happy days for apples competitors.

Where will it lead to though, will you be searched on the way in and if your phone hasnt got the prohibitive software you wont be allowed to bring it in?

I never understood the concept of going to a gig and spending the whole night looking at it through your phone as you record it. Totally planktastic if you ask me…

Good to hear, I turned it off less than halfway through the first episode. That nephew character - the 'pyscho' - was just not believable, bad casting.

That's good news, no?

No more annoying people holding up pieces of technology instead of actually enjoying the performance. Sounds good to me.

edit; I just realised that my point has already been made

I'm heading down on Sunday. No idea who's playing but it's cheap and I'm sure we'll find something to dance to :pac:

Lads what do you think would be the absolute cheapest controller I could get - that isn't completely rubbish? I'm trying to get my little 10 year old nephew into DJing. He's starting to get into music and when I played some of my tunes/mixes for him a while back he really liked them. Then I showed him my setup with Traktor etc and he was fascinated - and wanted to know/learn more. I'm thinking of giving him a surprise present of a controller and headphones to get him started and see if he might take to it...
