Also heard Murderball was good.<BR/><BR/>Teddi - I don't watch the news in part for that reason. I can't even truly trust the stories they do on the death of a neighborhood pet, or whatever, let alone global news. I know that some of reality TV is manufactured. Hell, the situations themselves are totally contrived.

Granted it is the filmaker's truth (like Supersize Me), but I still expect the shots and all that to be true.<BR/><BR/>The Spelling Bee one got a lot of critical acclaim - can't think of the title right now though.<BR/><BR/>Keep up with this blog Elisabeth - it is great!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380722344521975869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19388830.post-1134241271105465422005-12-10T12:01:00.000-07:002005-12-10T12:01:00.000-07:00...although the news being false and leading does ......although the news being false and leading does make me mad.Teddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539037628272642294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19388830.post-1134241216194016712005-12-10T12:00:00.000-07:002005-12-10T12:00:00.000-07:00"There is no spoon." People make up their own tru..."There is no spoon." People make up their own truth pretty much every step of the way...especially in film and photography. Keith and I have had drawn out argu-discussion-ments (lol) about reality tv. He is furious that it isn't really what's happening. It doesn't make me mad at all because it's just so obvious that it isn't complete reality. It's pretty much the same with everything.

Besides, the narration and titling is so sparse that you do forget you are even watching a doc at times. <BR/><BR/><I>Is there any documentary that is true anymore?</I> I supposed this depends on what 'true' means to you.
