There was another doc on Netflix a while ago called Dragonslayer, which was weird because it was about a skater that used to harass the bike riders at our local park.

Was that the one about the brothers from Australia?

aces, thanks for the link, i watched this today and was not expecting the darkness!

don't get me wrong, these films are tragedies of greek proportions but you can't deny that they are absolutely fascinating.

maybe it's because they're real or maybe because of the boundaries they pushed or the extremes they go to or just how hard hitting they are.

Post by: Zoidberg on July 22, 2015, 05:46:28 AM: nice, i'll give that mullen one a go later today

also, i'll put this in the mix too, 'the men who jump off buildings' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAMGZY4W4b0

Waiting for Lightning is documentary about Danny Way the vert skateboarder. It's set on the background of his jump across the Great Wall of China but it goes in depth to his character and background. Definitely well made and really cool watch.

I watched it with my girlfriend. There's definitely worse shows out there, but it was a bit weak after watching Fargo.

I'd highly recommend "The Jinx" by HBO.

I read the synopsis. I hate watching documentaries on really messed up things. Like reddit always brings up Dear Zachary and I haven't gotten around to watching it cause shit like that makes me super bummed.

Post by: Dr. Steve Brule on July 29, 2015, 06:05:39 AM: Yeah, The Jinx is superb. I'd avoid Dear Zachary, definitely a tearjerker.

Oh yea! I caught that recently after watching anything Rodney Mullen is involved with. Rodney is like one of the sweetest dudes in extreme sports.
