Holden McGroin 5201 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I watched Behind Bars and the Paedo one recently. Very enjoyable. I then started watching "The most hated family in the US" last night on youtube. Complete mentalists. Any others worth a watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to find obscure docs on google video and start to believe whatever nonsense they are peddling. Passes the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMPLETE mentalists but i guess thats what religon can do sometimes I loved the way Louis was constantly probing the young lady her about boys. She was clearly in need of a good rogering but wouldn't admit it due to her faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 They are all good. He is a very clever man and very good and making himself look stupid to whoever he interviews. The south african one is good, the wrestling one and the heroin one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 They are all good. He is a very clever man and very good and making himself look stupid to whoever he interviews. The south african one is good, the wrestling one and the heroin one. Whilst simultaneously revealing himself as a faux objective film maker. Don't get me wrong, I do like a lot of his stuff, but often when I watch it (particularly the older ones, not so much with the newer ones), I cant help feel like he is an incredibly patronising passively righteous knobber. Especially ones such as with Jimmy Saville and Anne Widecombe, which seemed to present them as being evidently outside of the in-joke that Louis and the viewer share. I enjoy them, but I cant escape this silent condescension of his. I remember reading an interview with him last year where he said something like 'I don't like being strident and polemical' - but what he does... there seems something underhand about it sometimes. He is polemical, but not stridently, and it is his refusal to vocalise what his body language, questions to the subject, and editing of the programme suggests that he feels about the topic that gives it both an enigmatic 'cleverness' and a overarching feeling that there are distinct intellectual boundaries between him and the subject and that his superiority is achieved through latent disingenuousness that is only picked up by the viewer after editing. His recent shows have been better, as there seems to be less... sensationalism and a little bit more, honesty on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one where it didn't work is when he visited the redneck nazi's (he looked genuinely uncomfortable and scared in some parts).

Also thought in the Nazi Pop Twins one he genuinely seemed really pissed off with what the wifey was saying. This is him doing what he does well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReGNYZhnZUM around 2:30 when he tells her she is outvoted by civilised thought. proper pwned.
