I don't like the idea of public institutions except where necessary, bit I do think the BBC does a reasonably good job. That said, I don't think it's worthy of the size and esteem it has at the minute. I don't know. A combined climbdown as well as making public their back catalogue would be an acceptable tradeoff for me. |

Adam Curtis has ruined natural history documentaries for me. There's a post on his blog about how conservative and regressive the suggested world view within them is, and now I'm watching Frozen Planet and I feel like I'm in They Live. Well, maybe I do, I've never seen They Live, not even since the last time I said I felt like I was in They Live. |

I love how scenes are mixed and stitched together. Like the scene of the art student talking about a toilet in a museum in France, and how it is such a big deal, show right after a scene detailing how America and her allies tortured to death Afghans. That captured how I see most things. |

Well that was bleak as fuck. Still rather enjoyed it, kind of liked the more sparse style in regards to his narration. Some of the footage and juxtapositions made me actually gasp or say "fuckin hell!" out loud the little girl who'd been severely injured by some sort of blast and her dad followed by the soldier playing with the bird stands out. Which I guess is good. |

I think Curtis is, to quote Doug Stanhope, outta shit. He's just repeating himself and filling the space with stock footage. The film wasn't exactly bad, but as the other lad said it was about 5 minutes of interesting content followed by about half an hour of shaky cam recordings of people running about screaming and Carry On clips. He could have made the same points with just as much impact in 45 minutes instead of 2 hours. |

I'm going to ignore the cunt off. I can understand why people didn't enjoy it, there were parts where I felt my mind wandering a bit. It was perhaps a bit long, and I get that it's just not some people's cup of tea. I personally still really enjoyed it and thought some of the footage was fantastic in and of itself. |
