Documentaries: What are the Worst?

[lester1/2jr]

rev- I agree with most of your assesment but the federal reserve stuff is mostly accurate, factually. Not their intentions of microchip bearing one world government but the how and why of when it was set up on jeckyll Island .


some choices, not really "bad" actually pretty good but less consequential

1. Waiting for Nesara (2000's) about A bunch of people meet in a rented room in a KFC to discuss the obvious fact that Jesus Christ is going to return on a spaceship to restore consitutional democracy to the US. They actually incorporate the KFC logo with the colonel into their iconography if I remember correctly. There appear to be elements of far right federal reserve as illuminati type conspiracy theory, mormonism and scientology, many were ex mormons. It's not just these people though, at the end they show an Iraq war proest somewhere with a "nesara " sign. yikes. The director made this and also "Elevator Movie" , a very divisive balck and white low budget student type  feature that earned 5 stars from me and 1 from many.

2. Chi guy: weapons of MAss decibels - This guy is a fixture at a bar called the SMiling Moose in Pittsburgh. He claims that by using his amazing Chi, the chinese concept of energy, he can yell louder than anyone in the world or something. He's loud but not really all that loud. He's pretty annoying too. He kind of grows on you though. The approach is appropriately low key and I had never really seen Pittsburgh before so that was interesting.

3. Pornstar pets - AS you would probably guess this doc humanizes adult film stars somewhat. Ron Jeremy has a tortoise and a hare. Taylor wayne makes a plate of spicy shrimp for her dog. Some of them have like alot of pets. Though dealing with porn stars it's actually pretty mundane but 52 minutes isn't too long.

I agree it's by far the least crazy part of the documentary, but the guy takes a reasonable theory and pushes it so far outside the realm of possibility that it's worthless to listen to him.  What stinks about the documentary is that maybe 10% of it is accurate but people shouldn't have to go fact checking every single outlandish claim. 

I hope to see "Waiting for Nesara" someday.

Another poster mentioned "Weird World Of LSD" [1967]  earlier in this thread and that link is dead

But this one isn't in case anyone needs it

this must have been the thread that gave me the idea to write that {too lazy to find link} article

Ever wonder what LARPing is?  Monster Camp will help you with that. I think it was filmed in/near Portland Oregon. I used to work with a guy in this.

Waiting for Superman wasn't the worst but it was much too one-sided in its argument.

I'd say any and all of the Sunn Classic "documentaries" would qualify.

I actually liked Sicko [2007], the documentary film of Moore...
I mean, I know the US is a all-for-yourself swim-or-sink country, but still seeing the hospital throwing people outside in the middle of a patch-up for lack of money was quite impressive. Of course, as European I am biased, I guess it looks normal to US citizens.

About the topic, do parodies count? The UK's "Look around you"[1] series is fairly bad, in a similar vein "the Japanese Tradition"[2] series is equally preposterous... but funny in "bad movie" sense.

Yeah-America is a sink or swim counrty-but we are also a very prosperous country-and poor people get sick too.
I have over 10,000 dollasr hospital bill-I make $11 an hour. They garnish my wage-I take home $280 for a 40 hour week.
It would have been cheaper to die.
Micheal Moore s a very irritating man-but he does know his s**t-I saw BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE-I didnt realize Charleton Heston was such a dick. He had a painting of himself as Moses hanging on his wall!
What a self important ass.

Charleton Heston was given that painting as a gift as he was the original actor for the "Moses" movie back in the days of Sword&Sandal movies in the sixties and seventies.

It's been provided in pretty accurate detail that Moore fudged most of his "facts" in "Bowling" and straight up made up a good chunk of them. Some of the stuff to make Heston look "awful" involved piecing together clips from two different presentations to make them seem like one speech. The "interview" he wrangled with Heston was obtained when Heston was fighting Alzheimer's.

It's an older site, but it neatly breaks down most of Moores films. I would even go so far as to say that Moore shouldn't be considered a "documentary" film director on account of how little fact is actually documented in his films.

I know he played Moses-it doesnt give away from the fact that he is a MORON.
f**k Micheal Moore-I could give a flying fig about his fat ass! I care that there are guns floating around this country in the hands of IDIOTS.
The NRA blocked a bill for backroundchecks and gun show sales-just selling to anybody-any body-that means terrosists and psychos.
I believe in the Right to Bear Arms-I own a 12 gauge shotgun. Do YOU feel safer knowing that?
Yeah-I seen that site-aint my first day here...Micheal Moore is very far left-but that site is very far right. I take the middle ground....and the fact is-there are WAAAY to many guns in the hands of idiots-I hope you have a gun. I really do-Because you will need it. Because people like you are asking for it. You WANT it to happen so you can use your f**kING GUN.
I saw my brother in law murder somebody with a gun he bought at a flea market-my brother killed himself with a gun from the same place.
You love guns-I love people.
Wayne La Pierre-NOT a gun freak-he wouldnt know how to shoot a gun if it was up his ass-is a paid proffesional loud mouth. His solution to the murder in schools? Security guards with GUNS!!!!
What?  
That aint the America I wanna live in.

Backround checks wouldnt solve the problem,but it wouldnt hurt. What are the NRA afraid of?
They are afraid of losing POWER. They dont wanna be WRONG. Hunters and law abiding citizens would not have to worry. WTF is the problem?
