It's about heuristics. I am sure it will be entertaining as usual.
Quote:
The Undoing Project” explores the groundbreaking work of two psychologists, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, whose research into decision making and judgment has challenged fundamental beliefs about human nature. In study after study, they showed that when it comes to making decisions, humans are predisposed to irrationality. Their surprising findings have had profound implications for everything from behavioral economics and politics, to advanced medicine and sports.
Yeah, this was really good.Quote:

It's so surreal, it almost seems fake, but it's not.
Made me wonder if anyone was in the know about the second round of dick pics about to surface; agree that it almost seems too coincidental that it came out as it was filming but don't know who gains from its release, aside from filmmakers.
I heard that round 3 of pics came out about a month ago but somehow missed that the recipient was 15 and that Weiner could be indicted. Keep filming this guy, shit was great.

Just watched Meet the Patels
super good , funny the father is the star imo

A story the MSM will not touch. You won't believe how many of these "pain management specialist" we have. I know some really cool people who've been killed by big pharma way before their time. If you only knew them.
Some subjects are to serious to be partisan. A bit boring but under reported.

OJ Made in America: 8 hours--truly great.
Meru: Crazy climb up steep mountain in Himalayas with GoPros. Strong.

I was kind of a trial junkie while it was happening. I was curious why Simmons and Lebatard liked it so much considering they're my age and almost all my peers were inundated with it? I could understand why a 35 year old would be blown away by it, but couldn't figure out the appeal to someone my age. Obviously I can't ask them, which is why I'm curious as to why you liked it so much? Nostalgia? Or young?
Kind of felt this way about Straight out of Compton movie also. Rave reviews, but couldn't grasp why my peers found it great when we lived that time period. Not being argumentative as it was very well done, just generally curious.
Look forward to checking out Weiner doc.
I am in my mid-40s. I thought it had an impressive scope and was well put-together. It set up the racial situation from the 60s through to the 90s and it showed how OJ wanted to do every advertisement possible and how he didn't want to get involved in race politics. I thought it was pretty epic, but we are all allowed our opinions. Some people love La La Land. I don't.Quote:

I was in 2nd grade and remember being piled into a classroom for the OJ verdict. I thought the OJ doc was fantastic; really never understood just how famous he was until then.Quote:

Weiner doc is fantastic.
Just watched "Jim: The James Foley Story." It is solid and effective. Made by HBO.
BCR, you didn't like Someone Knows Something because it was inconclusive. Season 2 is also inconclusive (so far), but it's a LOT more interesting. Give it a listen.
A new Iraq War documentary from Al Jazeera, pretty solid.
Richard Perle's not aging very well imo. Many insiders fr Joe Wilson to Ahmed Chalabi. What Chalabi said was pretty stunning, to think nobody went to prison for lying us into this expensive never ending quagmire smh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-B3jcyjg0E
Full length in link.
http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/...082649899.html
At 45:40 Chalabi reveals there's a plot calling for his marginalization and reveals the treason by Bush and his cabal, ten hours later he is found dead of an apparent heart attack.
Even tho Israel and Bibi are strangely absent from this documentary it's still 9.7 / 10 imo. Only 47 min. long.
Many of these same people are now trying to lie us in to war w Iran or worse.
Sour grapes on Netflix was decent
Just saw "Requiem for the American Dream". Sadly, Chomsky nails it. (Cliffs: Dear average Americans: The corporate ownership interests are robbing you of your future prosperity, all with your propagandized compliance. Enjoy scrambling amongst yourselves for the economic scraps.)

One of the best I've seen
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2167393/
while maintenance is being performed on a Titan II missile the 1st stage fuel tank is punctured. Damasacus, Arkansas 1980. missile explodes in it's silo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at2POyJqmo0
This was not good.
Always enjoy thought provoking programs. Watched this a few weeks back on Amazon and just noticed it's on youtube also.
Tis about universe/god/cern/science/etc.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkHLt0Uoqfg
Defiant Ones about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine and their partnership is good. Im 3/4 way through.
HOF cast of interviewees including Springsteen, Bono, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Snoop, Puff Daddy, DOC etc.
Hunting the KGB killers. Putin sent his goons over to murder the former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko in London. Who was a British citizen when killed.
It was a huge story which sent our relations with Russia from cordial to basically falling off a cliff... They still haven't recovered to this day.
Scotland Yard officers who led the investigation talk about it in really interesting detail. Including an ill fated trip to Moscow to interview the main suspects.
You may already know how he was killed. But the method of the assassination was worse than the murder itself. A loaded message sent from Putin.
The man is pure gangster.
(Not sure where you find it but I know it was shown on ABC a month or so back)
Anybody seen HyperNormalisation?
It's lengthy so sorta needs to be worth it.
Here's the preview and whole documentary.

Ken Burns BACK with a doc about the vietnam war.

Just finished Ken Burn's Vietnam. Very well done.
Also, stumbled upon this accidentally this weekend. Kind of a fascinating, compelling and a sad measure of society's influence on us and our influence on others. It's not long and leaves you really thinking, about....everything.

I DVRed this on Nov 11, was on Animal Planet. Thot would watch on a lazy Sunday one day. Watched last night and was excellent. Fascinating Grizzly behavior. The filmmakers are fucking nuts with balls of steel. One of the top nature programs I have ever seen. They have a full episode on youtube but isnt the show I saw. Have to watch the BBC episodes.
