Wow, that was the quickest ever repromote I've seen on the Sift! What did you think of the docu? Did the ending surprise you?

When was this docu made?

If you want to eat your shoe because of a lost bet, bad idea, it has been done and even gracefully:)

hey! awesome docu!

i couldn't help but feel a little hoodwinked though. Nat'l Geographic's title (and beginning) suggested that it would be about the habits of the common housecat (beyond the obvious nap/eat/chase tiny things routine), but apart from the obligatory "housecats are like Big Cats...'cept they're smaller" nod, it was more about the cat's adaptation to the human influence, and the subsequent impact on the areas they are introduced into, and how the humans are responding.. i think i would have preferred it named "Cat Owner Ethics and the Cats That Adapt" or something like that....i'll get right on that letter to National Geographic as soon as that box of Tuits i have on the way gets here.


i'm still not knocking it, though.. but it seems like a dirty trick to get people (rather, Cat Owners,) who otherwise wouldn't have watched to give it a look... very.... un-National Geographic of them in that respect.

I believe this is excerpted from
The Power of Nightmares by Adam Curtis. Either that or another docu that's been posted before.

Hellhouse is a great docu, but I'd rather see a clip from the actual source (i'm sure there are many floating out there).

i agree, though it could just be shyness (it is often mistaken as other things).
i really didn't get anything from this docu, if he was going to attempt presenting one why didn't he do one on his area of expertise, particle physics (though when he did talk about that kind of thing here he seemed to find it hard stringing two words together!)

there's a list of his papers here for proof that he probably is a really good physicist:

I think Richard Dawkins even dislikes this guy. He has a bit about him in his enemies of reason docu.

Kommie, you should try STALKER that game actually is in chernobyl and looks just like this docu does

I've seen this, worth watching, nice insight into day-to-day dealings of the oil industry and market

edit: i lied mistook it for some other docu on peak oil, but i'm watching this right now, good post

upvote for Patrick Stewart! interesting docu anyways

The day the universe changed is the greatest docu ever!

Warning: The narrator of this docu is pretty annoying.

maybe, there are a lot of docu's and such that are 1.5+ hours... i dunno... maybe you're right... make an ST post about it.

Something makes me think the rock groove has been added by some third party, it's just too unprofessionally mixed volume-wise to have been in the original video (part of a docu?).
