"it's like you're manipulating time with your hands." documentaries, gotta love'em. educational, immersive, provocative and eye opening. it fulfills my need for information and knowledge. i just blew my early afternoon away watching scratch (thanks to ryan for the borrow) and it is beautiful. the editing is dope, the music, the djs, the everything about this documentary reeks of enrichment and celebration. there is no better thing than watching films on the subjects that you love. the discovery channel, the history channel, mtv, animal planet, all produce some amazing fare. the trick is to not get too sucked in because then you'll have no life like me, parked in front of the television from noon up till sun down.



i remember staying up one night to watch some documentary about the search for the giant squid. me and pan sat through a good three hours of this thing, barely awake, struggling through the late night in order to get to the point when they finally show us a damn giant squid. never happened. they haven't caught one yet. why tempt me for three hours if you aren't gonna give me the goods at the end? jack!



i heard about this guy who went into the sewers of new york to make a documentary about the people who live down there. these people aren't just plain homeless, they have homes, it just so happens to be in the enyce sewers. they be like ninja turtles but human. the guy spent two years making his documentary and eventually sold his own apartment and furniture to move down to the sewers. eventually he used the turtle people as his film crew too. the sewer people tap into the electricity grid and jack all your electricity, now you know why your bills so high. i wish i could remember the name of the documentary.



another dude made a short documentary using a game boy camera. hotness. i had an idea for a mockumentary once for a huaren show but it never came to fruition. i think i'm gonna add that to the list of life goals, make a documentary. there needs to be some documentary focus on the hip hop dancing that's all the rage. how fun would that be? to say, follow a group of avid college dancers as they go through a year of school, working, dancing and performing? yeah yeah. someone get me some money and skills, let's do it.



speaking of documentaries, i had privileged access to a dave matthew's documentary that was never released. bootleg copy from when i worked at the production place. it is dope dope dope. i think somebody borrowed it. give it back. please. on a barely related note, i believe in the existence of an abominable snowman, be it in thailand or the alps. he lives people, we just haven't found him yet. keep searching, keep trusting, keep the faith. wendigo is alive and well, they just hiding.
