Mainly makes me laugh. It's like at the beer store. I'm clearly dealing with a Bud person and a serious IPA person.
 
"love people and use things - because the opposite does not work" - central message of Minimalism - available on youtube. Its definitely more about a philosophy of life than a 'how to' film. Highly recommend this documentary.

Society in the Snow on Netflix is worth watching.

True story about a team of rugby players whose plane crashed in the mountains.
It is grittier than Alive! from 1993.

How far plot wise does it go? Does it deal with the aftermath those who survived had to deal with when their method of survival got known generally?

And how gross is it?

No it doesn't delve into that. It does show the press clamoring for them after they were rescued.

Not especially gruesome. It's mostly horrifying by suggestion but it doesn't leave any doubt in your mind.
 
Here's an interesting thing. After their ordeal, there was a statement from the Roman Catholic Church that the team members had not sinned.

The statement came from the Archdiocese of New York. Isn't this curious? Why not from Rome or South America?

Anyways I recommend the movie.
 
Hadn't realized there was a new movie about that story out. I did see Alive at some point. Interesting. I guess that's why I have seen some stories about the survivors in news sources of late.
 
We are three episodes into Loudermilk as recommended earlier on this thread.

Quirky with interesting characters.
 
We watched a movie/ documentary called "American Nightmare" last night.
It's in 3 parts and we found it riveting. I personally hadn't heard of this crime although it appears it was a well known news story.
Basically it's a crime about an unmarried couple who claimed a man broke into their home and kidnaps his girlfriend....but it will keep you guessing until the end who's guilty and who's not.
If you like crime stories, I recommend it.
 
Tonight I watched a movie from 1970 that I'd never heard of, called Collossus: the Forbin Project.
With AI becoming so prominent these days, here's a movie from the 70s that seems way ahead of its time.
The USA has built an AI computer called Colossus that they believe with all of the information that has been given, will be capable of protecting their country from nuclear war. They also think they are the only country to have it, until Colossus finds a gateway to another computer AI from Russia called Guardian, and they start to "talk" to each other. They start making demands from the scientists and the inventors realize these computers are getting smarter as time goes on and acquiring information that wasn't programmed into them.
I won't go further with the plot, in case someone may want to watch it.
I found it worth the watch, scary when you think it was only science fiction to most of us back then but now coming true.
I watched the whole movie on Vimeo.
 
Waterfall, you saw a Classic!!!

It is based on a book by Dennis Feltham Jones

There are 3 of them in total

Lots of "dangerous computer" stories oot there

(my fav is I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison, the writer whose works James Cameron copied for his Terminator movie...)

Since you enjoyed that one you might enjoy Demon Seed, aboot an AI that goes wonky

Maybe related is Phase IV, which is aboot some scientists studying ants who ahem, don't want to be studied :3
