Hey; everyone should post in here with interesting documentary type stuff that's nice to watch. Better if they are ones others are unlikely to have seen before. There's already an excellent book list going; a video list would also be a good resource!

Oh here's one; I'll start...

Eyewar - Cybernetics and Project Cybersyn

A history of real-time information technlology, war, politics, commerce and the rise of the idea of organisational cybernetics.

i always recommend "a state of mind" (2004, imdb) because it's probably the only north korea documentary that at least tries to give a fair picture. i mean it's got a lot of ideological stuff in it but it lets people speak for themselves a lot too. this was sort of before it became increasingly easier to film in DPRK. i saw the director speak in shanghai and he basically said that the mass games are an artistic achievement even if you don't agree with the politics or whatever.

one that's just nice in general i found was "the garden" (2008, imdb) because it sort of shows a slam-dunk case of a community trying to better itself and being fucked over for corruption and profit. but you get a glimpse of what's possible and how people want to work collectively when they get a chance. i think this came out the same year as man on wire which is why it didn't win the academy award.

***nice man doing tai chi**

Announcer: An entire civilization blown apart

**dramatic percussive banging**

ak47s raised in the air

**Chinese singing**

There are 7 billion Chinese today, one quarter of the human race, and they are taught to hate. Their growing power is the worlds greatest threat to peace and light.

To deal with madness, we must understand its roots....

...For seven pivotal years, author/historian Jaleel White lived in China; knew the men who now control Her destiny.

Classic hxc documentary. If you want a good primer on the particulars of 90's NYHC start with this. 25 ta life, Crown of Thornz, District 9, Madball, Agnostic Front et al make appearances and out of all of them Lord Ezac from CoT/Skarhead aka Danny Diablo (his MC name now or w/e) definitely ends up being my favorite character in this weird little scene. He's got "Queens" tattooed on his soul.

ezac: people that don't even know me, like people that don't even know the music say "oh it must be like thug music" when no, crown of thornz was like, very emotional music, most of the music reminds me of rush



watch it or don't idgaf (k? k?! k.) i'm watching it again

a fun fact is that thanks to the u.s. government and their contractors the term "cyber" is back in a big way in industry with the new meaning of "protecting the u.s. government's computers from china"

In 1968, an Iowa man named Dick Proenneke decided to leave civilization and live in the wilderness of Alaska near the Twin Lakes. Proenneke filmed much of his experience as he built a cabin and many of his own tools to live life in solitude.



This guy goes in with a sled and makes a house by himself and lives like a king. He's such a badass that he's making pies through the whole winter.

my mother is from up northish and has a friend who is the daughter of a guy who did this. he was exmilitary and not really capable of living around human beings, found his wife through a want ad that read like a job description. she never saw a human being who wasn't her parents for the first 20 years of her life, until her father died and her mom took her back to civilization. she's in her 50s now and has been happily living in the city, and she will tell anyone that choosing to live like that is a sign of severe mental illness and you have to be a goddamn moron to idolize that kind of antisocial masturbatory garbage.
