Recommend a Documentary v. David Attenborough!

^ I hear that's a fun field. You spend your first three decades studying for your undergraduate degree in "Shoving Heroin up your Butthole" and "Doing Coke with a Busboy Named Pedro".

This documentary right here. This and I Like Killing Flies have given me a whole newfound respect for chefs. While one resides in midtown Manhattan, this one lives in Japan. Both have a fire burning in them that most people don't have towards anything in their lives, much less their career. What impressed me the most is not only Jiro's attention to detail, but his constant desire to improve. Even after 75 years. Even after becoming 'famous'. Even after having a 2 month waiting list to reserve a seat. He doesn't care. It's not about the money or attention. It's about becoming a master of your craft. He has a passion and it shows in his work.

Into the Abyss: A Tale of Life, A Tale of Death. (Werner Herzog)

It's a documentary about a violent murder in Texas; one of the criminals received a death sentence, the other received life in prison, and has in-depth interviews. A good death penalty documentary, and its by Werner Herzog.
 
^ Was that the one where the kid (murderer) was all excited to meet him and be in a documentary and Werner walked in all serious and straight away said I don't have to like you and the kid got all butt hurt?

I think so. He interviewed 4 or 5 different condemned men and 1 of them was stretched into a full-length film (the others were made into 1 hour documentaries on Channel 4 (UK). The whole series was interesting as hell; you could see the strain on some of them, others seemed resigned to their fates. The kid who got butt-hurt by Herzogs comment looks so fucking young, though!

Herzog managed to get unprecedented access to Texas' death row for this film, it's really interesting.
 
Yeah it's a bit stretched out; the one hour specials had better pacing I felt. That Werner Herzog is a great film-maker imo. I also really enjoyed Grizzly Man.

I recently discovered an obscure documentary series called Confidential File (1955); it's pretty much a '50's version of Vice, and I saw the first episode, Confidential File: Barbituates. It's a dramatised documentary about barbituate addiction. The music is over-wrought, the acting is over-the-top ie very '50's, but I found it pretty great.

It's pretty damn obscure, but it's on youtube.
