Want to watch some Documentaries Right Here? I've got 6 For ya!
Hey folks, Harry here... our friends at Cinetic Media are doing a great service which allows folks like me and you to embed some really high quality Documentaries on a site - your site - or even this site! And right now there's just 6 fantastic Docs, but if you embed it on your Myspace, Facebook, personal website, from time to time they may change, add and flush the content out. For now though, I just thought this was something very cool to share with you... Enjoy.

Always time for documentaries.
-
i just came in my chainmail!
-
Brianjonestown and Dandy Warhols are both pretty great
-
I will find their address and come slap them. these are great documentaries, in your computer chair, for FREE...watch a couple blackberry commercials and shut up. you know, like it used to be on TV?
-
Hey! They're trying to sell me shit while I'm watchin' this thing!
-
I remember those things. Yeah... I don't do that anymore. Sorry.
-
BJM are a really good band.
-
is a great movie. i recommend it to anyone interested in grass roots politics.
-
Spoke to my inner nerd.
-
Like Public Enemy said .DONT BELEIVE THE HYPE.ESPECIALY YOUR OWN BLOATED EGO
-
Damn these people, trying to recoup the costs of sending free documentaries over the Internet!
-
Sorry,but I don't see anything.
-
Or should I start googling Cinetic Media? Just wondering.
-
nice.
-
So what is the deal? I got nothing. No docs. Butkis! Nuttin!!
-
'sup wit dat.
-
I guess I'll pop a Planet Earth BluRay in my PS3 to get my doc-u-fix. Later.
-
i bought it(cheap and used) based on a review here at AICN....it's painful. i mean, it's good, it's just painful. you have to watch it for superman- who is OBSESSED with all things superman..batman who looks like clooney but is a liar- says he was in special forces and a bodyguard etc...and the girl who plays wonder woman is so cute and sincere...it's a wonder she hasn't gotten any work after this doc. check it out if you haven't.
-
Especially if you saw ROLE MODELS and didn't think nerds really went that far - well, they go that far. You will start off laughing at the people they profile, but by the end you'll be fully entrenched in their alternate world. And mind you this: there's one kid they follow around that, I swear to God, will make you never want to be mean to another human being again in your life. Or at least for twenty minutes, and that's a huge accomplishment for some of us. Great doc, very well shot and composed, endlessly entertaining on a slew of levels.
-
As soon as the replays of Olbermann and Maddow are done.
-
If you happen to be from the rest of the 500.245.370 km² of this planet - don't bother.
Some will still make you watch commercials before they tell you that, though. -
No "Cooking with Huck Botko"?
-
i live streamed that doc netflix style on my xbox360, holy crap were those guys nuts, i love the fact that the homeless black dude was the one that was the most rational of the bunch and had the most success. man that batman was really crazy, and when superman *spoiler* lost the contest he looked so sad lol
-
...when Errol Morris will be informing our eyeballs in 2011? I'm guessing....
-
everyone watch DIG!
-
Best documentary of the year. Well... ok. Maybe that was "Man on Wire." Still, close call.
-
looks like im not going to sleep.
-
Was meh? Don't get the love. Dear Zachary was much better. So was Bigger, Faster, Stronger. I'm gonna watch the Pug movie now.
-
is my favorite documentary of all time AND I LOVE DOCUMENTARY'S. It's not the most heavy subject matter, and crazy things are not happening left and right (although the Batman is insane, hell the superman too) It is a movie about the human spirit and our dreams and how we have to know when to come back to reality.

Loved that movie. One of my favorite docs of the year. Dear Zachary... was good, but fell a bit short for me. Or perhaps it just depressed me. Usually not a deal-breaker for me, but it was still hard to make it through that. I've been near a similar situation. Not fun.
-
And I absolutely hate the two bands involved. Well maybe slightly less after watching it, but still it was fascinating.
-
Not a review, or a two-line synopsis, or even a fragging TITLE?
Thanks a lot for doing some work, you hack. -
the films just re-start from the beginning instead of continuing. If I ever see another blackberry curve, I will crush it.
-
Made for a crappy hour before work. Sure it's free, but I didn't know it was going to be a tease. I thought (and it says) they are showing the full films. If it's a Firefox thing, hey guess what!! It's huge. Firefox is huge now. To not support it would be so stupid.
-
But then I am in Sweden... :-(
-
or FLOW, watched it last night, pretty intense and important documentary. Right now wars are about oil. But soon they'll be about water.
-
Thanks for the advertising!
-
It's about live action role players. I just watched the whole thing and it was good.
-
There was a layer of flash content that needed to be enabled buried under the video layer. If anyone else has the same problem and you use flashblock and/or noscript, just allow everything while you're there. I usually pick and choose what auto-plays and what is allowed to run javascript (hey , LOOK! aicn has ads now! lol). Sometimes bits of important things hide behind other things.
-
Now back to the new Brad Beesly (he did okie noodling, which is fantastic if you have not seen it yet) one about summer camp with the Flaming Lips music.
-
that is all.
-
As someone who always admired canada they really fucked up bad with this case.I really admire the parents for having the strength and courage to go on.it says something about the human spirit
-
So who cares about the ads. If people bothered to see them in the theaters they wouldn't have to resort to that, would they? Just enjoy these great films that deserve to be seen by a broader audience. I think this is a great way to get them out there.
-
I have nothing else.
-
to me, but then, I suspect that the value of numbers changes all the time and we can't tell because our perceptions of the numbers changes too.. ummm. Darkon was very cool, I was rootin for the red and yellow guys SPOILER and they lost damn.
-
Check it out on youtube! search: "Straight To The Top Trailer"
-
US only. So it´s the USnet huh? And i seem to remember it as the INTERNET!
-
The filmmakers took their subject far too seriously--almost as if they were making a commercial for live-action role playing. Would've loved to see these guys between takes screaming, "You're dead, dude! I hit you on your left arm two times!"/"Nuh-uh! You only hit me once, man!" Also, I wish they had concentrated on maybe just two subjects and given more in-depth attention to their lives and psyches (ala I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW).
-
It was soooo easy for the filmmakers NOT to take their subject seriously. In fact, they completely succeeded in taking their subject so seriously so that you, the viewer, actually gets an idea of why these larpers do what they do. After that, you can decide whether you laugh, frown or sympathize with what you see.
-
The doc was thin and wasted too much time with redundant RPG-talk and not enough time getting to know the human beings and their fully understanding their motivation to spend so much time preparing and living in a fantasy world. Just my opinion...

I would've liked to see more human being behind the player as well. But then again, the human being becomes the player and the lines between game and real life blur. So the game becomes their real life, and it is inside that game that their motivations become clear.
Instead of following their subjects around some more, they used a couple of very strong one liners telling what they needed to tell. I kind of agree with you on that though, they could've cut away some more RPG footage and more 'real' footage. I just didn't agree with the 'taking themselves seriously' thing, because for me it was all the more painful to watch because everything was so serious. I wanted to laugh, but couldn't, which for me is a much stronger emotion than just pointing and laughing at a bunch of fat geeks. -
I misstated myself regarding "taking the subject seriously." What I specifically meant was this: the filmmaker's could've spent less time trying to transform battle scenes from Darkon into a fully scored, half-assed Helm's Deep. I wasn't sure whether their intent was to lampoon the live action RPG or aggrandize it, but the device fell flat imo. It was amusing at first, but it got redundant quickly. Time generally wasted on the RPG itself could've been spent on a few adults who are driven to spend all this time and money on Darkon. Also, I felt like the subject was literally too serious--never saw much in the way of a sense of humor from the filmmakers or the subjects. Moreover, I'd have loved to see more interviews, for instance, of Bannor's family--particularly his hard working wife but also his mother, father and brothers. It seemed almost like the filmmaker's were intentionally skirting the central question the few times they did talk to non-Darkonites: "Why do you think 'Bannor' spends so much time playing these games?" I thought the doc was competently done, but I can't help being disappointed that the execution seemed thin.
-
My wife and I were actually kind of depressed by the end of the doc. It was--more than anything--kind of sad to us that such talented, intelligent folks should apparently live for this. OTOH, how much more sad is it that people obsess over sports (or, gulp, movies) which they don't even directly participate in? There are lots of questions and points that could've been explored to a greater extent. As a long time RPGer myself (as a child, teen and young adult) I felt superior to these guys, but at least they were being physically active! In the final analysis, these guys were arguably spending their time much more wisely than I had many years ago sitting around drinking coke and eating chips slothfully for hours on end with paper and dice. Fascinating topic in any case...
