Werner Herzog movie, it’s more interesting that the guy was a failed US californian actor but sought fame through getting close to Grizzly Bears. Werner Herzog is known as a dour German documentary filmaker. He was eventually maulled to death and Werner documented it. ---

I went to see grizzly man with a slightly mentally unhinged friend of mine at a local arts cinema. We got shouted at by a serious man as my friend laughed at some of the footage deemed to be sad. ---

I won’t tell you how I felt at the end lest it betray the outcome. Struggling to think of a better documentary series though. ---

Oh, fuck. Just finished it, TiCK. We probably need a thread to chat about that - or at least we should couch everything in spoiler warnings. People. Don’t read the spoilers. Watch it. I feel fucking angry and frustrated by that. I guess I’ve become used to happy endings, and was expecting something positive at the end. But to watch all the sieving of the evidence, and then to see juries and judges time and time again reach the _wrong_ decision was quite baffling. I have to remember that we’ve seen everything from the filmmaker’s perspective, but even so… The evidence of procedural and evidential wrong-doing is surely so bloody obvious. Lt Lenk can go fuck himself. Kratz can go fuck himself too. And Brendan’s first state defender needs to be beaten to death violently. Mass collusion to fit up a man/men for crimes the likely did not commit. Very angry. ---

Stop wasting your time, people. Just watch ‘Making a Murderer’ and be done with it. SPOILERS COMING UP Len Kachinsky (Brendan’s first defender) - what can you say? I’m taking pleasure in imagining the thud of the baseball bat as I slowly beat him to death Ken Kratz - squidgy-faced soft-voiced lying arsehole Colburn - cunt At least I know when they’re all lying on their deathbed and their lives are flashing past they will know they are not going to a good place. Brendan - Jesus - who thought that kid deserved to be stitched up like that? Unscrupulous cunts. Disgusting. ---

Sotonians is full of people that like their history. Here are some very good documentaries to take a look at. First up, an eleven part series on Vietnam. It’s fairly straight-laced; mentions that Hanoi always denied the Gulf of Tonkin incident, but doesn’t delve deeply into any conspiratorial material. The transition from JFK to LBJ is dealt with as a change of policy in the main. None of that really matters though; it’s the personal accounts that bring this war home, captured relatively recently after events. I’m only 4/11 episodes in, but I’ve already seen some interesting stuff. A former army soldier mentions that he joined up as an idealist, stating that he thought it would be better to fight the Communist Vietnamese in Vietnam, rather than San Diego, and it all sounds depressingly familiar. The same soldier talks about his early misgivings about their South Vietnamese allies, stating that he found their apparent unwillingness to fight irreconcilable with the bastard hard never say die VC, essentially the same people. He also questioned the disproportionately huge amount of US landmine casualties compared with their Southern Vietnamese, never seeming to step on them at all. [![]( "YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku-l3ajODfc) So far, most numerical talk of casualties has focused on the 50K+ US personnel that were killed, but there have already been hints that the documentary will be even handed when the war enters its murderous Nixon/Kissinger phase, along with its expansion into neighbouring countries. The other documentary I’ve found, in some ways a pre-requisite to Vietnam (the French war that preceded American involvement was as much about regaining national prestige as anything else), is Eye of Vichy, a look at France during its occupation by the Germans. It’s not about what France was really like; it’s more about what the collaborating authorities wanted people to believe. Almost all of it is propaganda footage produced by Germans or French collaborators. Interesting, but also chilling to consider how quickly France’s values were usurped.
