aye, discerning denizens, you are cordially invited to all
come together and disseminate brain knowledge: please
recomend any exceptional documentaries you may have come
across on the net. i found and watched this the
other day and it was superb.

Feel free to list any decent torrent sites related too.

I really enjoyed the Louis I. Kahn documentary called "My
Architect"

It's the first one that came to mind. I wrote a short
review of it at Netflix... here:

My Architect is a beautifully crafted documentary about
Louis I. Kahn, a Philadelphia architect who designed a
limited but influential collection of buildings around the
world. The director, Nathaniel Kahn, is Louis Kahn's
estranged son and the documentary centers not only upon the
buildings his father built, but on Nathaniel Kahn's journey
to learn who his father was. He travels the world, visiting
his father's creations and interviewing his father's friends
and colleagues in an attempt to find out about his father; a
man he never really knew but who's life had a profound
effect on so many people. My architect is an engaging story
with beautiful cinematography. It reminded me, vaguely, of
Baraka but with a more defined narrative.

cheers, adam curtis is class, i'd like to see everything
by him i think. I'm guess you've seen it but Why We Fight is
also excellent in regards to US/iraq bobbins.

Will check for john's not mad and that kahn docu too
thanks=]

the omnibus doc on the klf gets my vote. bill talking about
why he burnt his money. "i don't quite know what it is....
we've done. i don't really like to think about it too
much..."

yeah, night and fog is class too, if pretty grim and
graphic. I watched that Enron: the smartest guys in the room
documentary recently too and it's worth watching.

have you got that on your hd dobbin? i might have to harrass
you and toy with your soft emotions for it.

my knowledge still exists somewhere or other.
