The Documentary Thread

[Locke]

I'm watching 'Encounters at the End of the World' at the moment.

I do enjoy me some Herzog. He is like a brilliant ray of optimistic sunshine about everything, its fantastic!

His docs tend to be slow and methodical though, so this one is him in Antarctica.

The rock slide at Bow Glacier Falls reminded me of the documentary "The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari".

Watch this. Seriously.

So good! I thought I’d seen and read everything about this movie, including the excellent 2 hour doc that was included on the original bluray release. But there’s lots of great new archival footage, photos, and fun anecdotes from various filmmakers and artists discussing the film’s impact and legacy. I especially liked the behind the scenes stuff with Robert Shaw.

Yeah! I thought I'd seen and knew everything about the movie but this was such an interesting Documentary.

I also got a Hot Wheels of Chief Brody's truck this year!
