"Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story" (2025)
National Geographic produced this excellent doc that looks back on the making of Steven Spielberg's iconic shark movie and the influence it still has on filmmakers all these years later. Great stuff.

40, Charge of the Light Brigade (1969)

Set in the Crimean War (1853-56). I thought I'd get this in before the American Civil War starts, although, that being said, you guys steamed right past the American Revolution, so who knows what will be next.

Quote from: claws on July 14, 2026, 07:08:20 PMAI:

QuoteIt's pretty common on Instagram. When a post suddenly gets a lot of reach, it gets picked up by engagement‑scraper bots and low‑quality throwaway accounts.

These profiles usually have almost no posts or followers, and they leave short, dismissive comments because it makes them look "human" to the algorithm. They're basically testing activity or trying to appear legitimate before being used for spam later.

Nothing to worry about — it's just part of Instagram's bot ecosystem.

Fair. But I think Boll was aiming lower than your speculation.

Something odd is happening on Instagram.

If I post something or respond to a post and it gets a huge amount of views and / likes, I usually get one reply from some rando with very few posts, pics or followers.

The reply is usually dismissive in nature and I was wondering if these are bot accounts or what? 🤔🐢

"Come On Feel The Noize: The Story of How Rock Became Metal" (2017)
Sub-par music documentary that attempts to establish the influence that '70s glam and punk rock movements had on metal in the 80s, but it's very disjointed and doesn't seem to follow much of a narrative. The first half is a collection of presumably cheap-to-license clips of Slade, the Sweet, and Alice Cooper from Germany's "Beat Club" and "Musikladen" TV shows, then it turns on a dime into random discussions with members of Ghost, Life of Agony, Sabaton, and Disturbed. This is totally surface level stuff, aimed at casual viewers who know nothing about metal. Don't waste your time with this one.

Adopting Spain as my team to root for proved a wise choice.
