Watched a lot of documentaries while gimpy from knee surgery. Some better than others.
Why can’t anyone make a film about surfing that isn’t…..I don’t know….awkward? Footage was great, the rest was just boring filler crap. On the other end of the spectrum – Manufactured Landscapes – incredible. Right on my imagery/issues sweet spot. Ratings in equivalent painkillers – 5 being highest. (I was prescribed Vicodin):
Manufactured Landscapes 5 Painkillers
Inside Deep Throat 4.5 Painkillers
Off The Grid: Life on the Mesa 4 Painkillers
