Watch a documentary.

[Shinyshark]

Hey everyone,

If you're bored you should go watch a documentary. There's a lot of interesting documentaries. Not only will it keep you busy for a while, afterwards you'll crave for more knowledge, you've learned a lot from it (hopefully) and you got to know something from an aspect that you might've viewed differently.

I'm watching a documentary right now. It's about why movies are rated what they are rated and if it is a fair rating. NC-17 (No Children under 17) movies are not published by big film companies. Are those movies really NC-17? Why is this one NC-17 but the other one isn't? There is a lot of nudity in this documentary, so be warned if you go looking for it.

So go watch a documentary, post which documentary you're watching or have watched, recommend it. (rate it NC-17 if you must.) Just briefly state the subject of the documentary and if you enjoyed watching it or not.

Boop.

Title's misleading really tho.

NC-17 if you're immature because you can't deal with other people's choices plus the expanded knowledge that can be found from this guy's experimenting is unbelievable. Can you not before you do.

This Film Is Not Yet Rated

That's the documentary I was talking about. NC-17 isn't about not sharing an opinion (I doubt you didn't know that) but about the content in a movie that might influence children under 17. Like I said, the documentary contains a lot of nudity so don't blame me if your virgin eyes have been exposed to breasts and phallus.

(Right, like none of you have seen that before)

I know I used NC incorrectly tho. :C

Movies sent off for rating usually come back with just a rating, and no reason why. The process itself has no real definition, no checklist of what makes a film any given rating. Smaller producers especially get frustrated by this process, because they're more likely to know their films inside out and have no idea why it gets a restrictive rating, while larger corporations can afford to send the film back to editing, then send it for rating again, just guessing at the reasons.

Also, I watched a Vice documentary not too long ago on Afghanistan, and the state that it's being left in as the occupying troops pull out. While there are many things to think about what's going on over there, this documentary will go a long way to convincing you that the citizens there really do need help. And not necessarily to keep them safe from terrorists. I don't remember any visuals to be wary of, but some of the topics discussed are definitely not appropriate for the young, so don't watch it! (or at least don't blame me when you do)

Fantastic documentary detailing the Graf Zeppelin's 1929 circumnavigation of the glove through the personal accounts of female journalist Lady Grace Drummond-Hay. Stunning and rare footage throughout and even some romance (I shit you not!)-- would highly recommend watching.
