This is pretty interesting, I think, unless everyone's seen it already. It's about Ronald Reagan (and ilk) trying to get Herbert Marcuse sacked in California in the 60s. Has some great footage of Reagan being a twat and Marcuse being brilliant.

I've been saving these up until I can watch all three together, very tempted to stick the first two on now though.

I like my documentaries dry, sober (dreary almost) and about space or cycling. So this one is pretty much perfect. The commentator speaks deadpan and sparingly. For example from 14:00 to 23:40 I don't think he speaks once and it's all the better for it. I like it so much I listened to it twice in work this week. The bit when they do the actual moon landing is also deadly. and the bleeps.

Not sure if it's mentioned in the documentary but Richard Misrach did an excellent photographic book about the salton sea. heres some images

Won't do justice to the book it's excellent.

watched this recently. great watch. former clay animator for some of frank zappa's stuff.
interesting character. documentary is as much about his odd relationship with his dad and family as it is about his work.
got a cool gaff too.

 

[dunderhead]

watched last night....

shut up and play the hits - that lcd soundsystem doc. live footage was great. footage of yer man Murphy was a bit difficult to watch for me. came across as a bit of a sap. are we supposed to believe that he is being 100% genuine when he being filmed waking up/pricking around on his own. but. live show looked great.

Robert Kramer's Milestones.

Three hours plus. Sprawling doc with many strands - different people looking for different things in late 1960s/early 1970s US. Pretty hard to articulate.
TRY TO FIND THE ANSWER WITHIN.

the RTE doc on one app is well worth downloading to your phone - the world's largest online repository of radio documentary podcasts, and the doc on one department has won more awards than any other radio documentary department in the world. allegedly.
