Crumb. Iit's one of the best character studies in existence. Not only of R. Crumb, but those around him.

The documentary I most enjoyed was 'The Fog of War' - which is about the life of the former secretary of defence Robert Macnamara (who I'm pretty sure is an INTJ). He has lived a truly remarkable life!

Good documentaries?

Really, I'm open to anything. Some good stuff I've watched recently:

• TINY: a story about living small shows how folks live in <500 sqft houses, and many build them themselves.
• I Escaped a Cult documents the stories of cult survivors. How they were subjected to weird and dangerous shit (such as outcasting their own families) and started to believe it.
• Of Two Minds: bipolar disorder and how people cope with it in different ways.

Your favorites?

Genie: Secret of the Wild Child (1994). It's about a little girl who was tied to a toilet for the first decade of her life. It's kind of depressing but the documentary does delve into the developmental challenges that result from this type of treatment and I found that part interesting. It's on youtube.

The Cove

Have you seen Earthlings?

 

[Arctic Hysteria]

Have you seen Earthlings?

It has been on my imdb watchlist. I need to!

 

[Bush]

The Science of Evil

Whoa, I had no idea that there was a documentary on this. I don't know if it's related to the book, but the book is worth checking out. And so, probably, is the documentary.
