Finally watched Peter Wakins' The War Game. Really deadpan and depressing, smaller scope than Threads in that it doesn't go far into the aftermath of an attack and is fairly directly based on the reality of previous nuclear and non-nuclear attacks but really grim nonetheless with some moments of dark humour/irony. The mundane (and now quaint) locations/characters and the use of non actors gives it a different kind of impact to other similar films somehow.

Wakins is a brilliant filmmaker. Can co-sign as well on The War Game. Can also recommend his films: Edvard Munch (be sure to get the org extended version from Eureka) Punishment Park and La commune (Paris, 1871). He also made a Sci-fi in Denmark titled Aftenlandet. Would love to see it, but have been difficult to track down. Note: Punishment Park is a fiction film w influences from docu and a little bit of sci-fi.

i usually stay miles away from anything Peta/animal rights etc-related, but this was rather good. Has been compared to Grizzly Man (wich imho was insanely boring) but much beter. Focus on Tilikum at SeaWorld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilikum_%28orca%29).

The essence (=>12000pound predators are not build to do flips in a pool) could also have been told without the tearjerker end....sigh.

Would love to see some real footage, considering the damage :

absolutely loved this , watched it even twice !
the casu marzu might be a bit too strong for my taste (i don't like blue cheeses either) but that butcher and his cellar full of spiced/salten/dried pigmeat looks like pure paradise !!! ...if/when possible (moneywise) my gal and me will def. visit Sardinia in the future , absolutely amazing food and great nature there , thanks a bunch for the heads-up !!!
since i usually don't watch TV (except for some docustuff uploaded on youtube and similar sites) , i wasn't familiar with this "Bizarre Foods" series , did find a bunch of them on youtube though and am now gradually watching them all , already seen a few , especially Ecuador stood out , another country to visit !

something else : yesterday i watched this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izsym4bxeGA "The Mystery Of The Cocaine Mummy"  ....title sounds better than it is really imo.  ...had expected some more insights and less speculation and filler but it was kinda nice to find out that the pharaos (supposedly) were "heads" too !

Just watched Whores' Glory

Quite vague take on whoring in three different parts of the world. No useless crap, all business. Really enjoyed it even though it seemed a little monotonous at times. Troubled Thai chicks looking for some affection, desperate Indians sold by their parents and addicted trainwrecks of Mexico. Highly recommended!

The Act of Killing (2012)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/

I usually don't like to read about what I'm going to watch, but in this case I just read a brief description. My response was: WTF!?
Leaders and executioners of death squadrons and criminal organizations recreating and commenting in usually funny & bizarre ways the laughters they commited almost 50 years after they happened. Documentary spreads veracity, they are individuals speaking in total care free way, they have no fear of authorities or law since they are incarnated by themselves indeed. Truly interesting about murderers' psyche and social situation in actual country as a result of the facts they participated in.

Impressive work about the current main victims of globalization and cultural massification.
