Saw that "UTLTU" thing in a cinema with a mate of mine who had no idea about Black Metal. He kept banging on about how "amoral" they were. Personally I was bored, I've read "Lords Of Chaos" like anyone else. Darkthrone are a fucking joke.

The docco with Ghaal was better. I liked the bit where they were loosing their breath going up that mountain. Not that I'd do any better but it's funny seeing US hipsters suffer.

Completely disagree about Darkthrone but definitely also enjoyed the toil of the Vice hipsters.

HOT GIRLS WANTED
Quite recent document about "pro-amateur" xxx models. Like always, it's sort of moralist study of young womens bad choices. Teen chicks smoking weed and dreaming to be famous. Being facefucked to point of mental trauma or family issues being dealt in front of camera crew like shittiest reality tv.
Fuck. I guess it is the attention whores and people plagued by problems who'll be in focus of media. Would be nicer to see interviews with people who matter. Not the fuckholes, but those who are creative force, not the dysfunctional cases of hired faces.

Everyone comes to the Freak Show
To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks

But nobody laughs when they leave

"But even though you are now a so-called 'normal person', in your own lifetime you could become a human oddity, a freak of nature. And if you doubt that statement go visit a veteran's hospital and see the men lying in those beds, without arms, without legs, without faces! Stranger human oddities than we dare present in this show! But you don't have to go to war to become a freak of nature, to become a human oddity. Because we manufacture human oddities every day and night across in automobile accidents across this great land. Ladies and gentlemen, it's show time right now. We're ready to start. So if you care to go, don't wait. Now is the time.
  Let's go see what the world contains besides yourself."

I'm looking for a good documentary about the Haitian voodoo. Do you have any recommendations?

super classic!
I'll check if I have something else on the subject. Did in depth research on the subject when writing my second story fo Martin Mystere, for sure try to look for the interviews to Wade Davis done in the 90's/ early 2000's. IT has a more ethno-botanologist (not sure it is written like this) approach, but very interesting.

for books on the subject you may wanna refer to Primordia bookshop in Italy.

I had some fun watching this documentary last weekend... Silly mentally underdeveloped 19 year olds hoping to do porn for years to come and be famous. Interesting to see footage of the house these girls stay at while shooting porn/'modeling'. Obviously loved the ties to facial abuse...



Other docs I've watched recently that I didn't think were a waste of my time:

Tricked - seemed to be a focus on the pimps of the sex industry

Whores' Glory - bangledesh prostitutes are bold bitches

Bridgend - high suicide rate via hanging in wales

Little Hope Was Arson - watched this twice! still wondering how/why it wasn't american bm kids doing the burnings instead...

what a disappointing film. lots of build up and pathos-laden "a church is not just a building" blah blah blah and then the two guys that did it are either brain dead or too ashamed to say anything of substance about the actual burnings

It's amusing that guy says he was bullied in school, but "look at me now, I got car, money and big house". Jeesus. Car appears expensive, but at least what we see from the house, is like 3 rooms, where one has beds for girls. One has couple couches and TV. All blank walls. Even random hotel room would display more personality. Guy appears equally interesting as his house and car. All one can see is utter blank.

The Brain: A Secret History

This three part series is a fascinating look at the history of our understanding of the brain. I have just watched the third part which looks at people who have had the two hemispheres of their brains split (in one case it was to stop the patient's debilitating epilepsy. The two halves of her brain are at war with each other. One hand buttons up her shirt while the other hand unbuttons it. She picks up a phone to speak to someone and the other hand will hang up. It also looks at the real life Memento case of a man who had an accident which caused epilepsy and a fuck wit doctor of the time decided to remove a bit of his brain to see what happened which left he unable to create new memories. The history of surgery is a very dark place.

It's on BBC iplayer at the moment though I'm sure you can find it online somewhere else. There's also quite a good 5 part documentary about the Metropolitan police force called The Met: Policing London
