Re: Off Topic 2014

Can anyone recommend some good documentaries on Netflix? Approach as if I've never watched a documentary before.


Sent from Kings Landing

The Two Escobars (30 for 30 series) is the must-watch 30 for 30. There are a lot of good ones (with a very select few "meh" at best ones mixed in) on there. If sports/sports culture documentaries sound good start there. The Fab Five one was also very good. I'm not a fan of sports documentaries/movies but I will make time for 30 for 30's.

On the non sports side?

An Idiot Abroad is a humorous view of travelling.
The Blue Planet is interesting and beautiful (plus Attenborough is GOAT narrator for that stuff.) I liked both Planet Earth and Life a bit better than The Blue Planet, but I don't think those are on Netflix.
Freakonomics was somewhat interesting for me, but it jumped around (basically about different chapters in their book. It's a docu composed of mini-docu's.)
Wild China was pretty good, but I liked the earlier episodes more than the later ones.
How the Universe Works, I believe it's called. It's narrated by Mike Rowe. It was a pretty good watch as well.
I'd say find some of the NOVA (from PBS) that are on a topic that looks interesting, but Netflix only has a couple of them I believe. I think I ended up watching most of those on Amazon Prime.

That's pretty much all we really use Netflix/Amazon for are the documentaries.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I saw a couple that really has me interested in watching. I never watched Jesus Camp and the Imposter, Dear Zachary, Central Park 5 and Schooled.


I have seen most of the 30 for 30 docs, but that was my fault was asking you all to answer as if I have never watched a doc before.

EverQuest (the original) without a doubt.

If not that, then Lord of the Rings Online. But I'd choose the book version of LotR, so that one doesn't really count.

I'd just stick to being level 50 and sitting my butt in Crushbone showing off on the weaklings.

I'd also never try to break Fear, which was possibly the worst (and also best, in a way) gaming experience I've ever had.

I'd say Tamriel. Why not spend the day putting cooking pots on peoples heads?

Must've ate something bad yesterday because today I have the Death ****s.

My girl was complaining about gas/stomach pain last night before dinner, and she found a weird spot on her "egg" from McD's as we were eating yesterday morning.

That's the one common thing we had yesterday. I'm about done with going to that McDonald's, always the crappiest service and now it may have given me food poisoning? No more. The one by my work is always on point so I'll continue giving them my service.

Stats for the day: 6 trips to the bathroom, 2 rolls of TP, totaling 43 minutes, 35 seconds

I have no idea if it's on Netflix, but I keep hearing great reviews for the documentary about Roger Ebert's life called Life Itself.

Supposed to be fascinating, but also really heartbreaking. I have yet to sit down and see it myself.

Star Trek....Ever since I was a kid I wanted to live in that world and played most of their dozens of video games.

The media needs to kill the Tiger Woods talk. He's not even Top 5 anymore, and I don't care about what he accomplished in the past. Give these youngsters their due now.

Speaking of Nintendo related things, Best Buy has a buy 1 get 1 free on select 3DS games.
