I mustn't be a real PDDer then.

They can be good but only if you trust them and to me you can tell a fair bit about how based in fact a documentry is based upon how much music is envolved (you know the type to trigger an emotional rather than logical responce) and how much talk as opposed to fact is in them.

These things tend to show whether the purpose of the doc is to entertain or inform.


Haven't seen this yet (waiting for dnload).

I haven't seen these docs yet (missed on on TV twice!!) but they have been reccommended to us at university (I'm doing an international studies related MA) and are often refered to so, what ever you think of documentaries, these particular ones seem to be held in quite high esteem in academic circles

I just watched em. Pretty good and informative.

@josh Documentaries = conspiracy theories?
@Smiley, definetly watch it.

yes, real PDDers. the ones that spend an entire afternoon writing a 5 page post on the economic consequences of competition and regulation for the performance of insurance markets.

These are excellent documentaries....i would highly recommend them...i watched all three of them when shown on tv...they are not in anyway related to conspiracy theories.....

I post very rarely so don't know the "secret rules" here . But it's important that the common public don't believe everything the US goverment and the corporate owned and controlled mass media is feeding to them. That's why this particular documentary is actually very important and much much more wider public should be able see it, especially people living in the USA. Definitely includes highly informative and credible material, far from conspiracy theories...
