Simon B. StøvringAgain this year I’d like to watch more documentaries. Any recommendations?
Yes, I could Google top lists but I’d much rather have recommendations for like-minded Mastonauts or whatever we call ourselves 😊
Sir David Nielsen@simonbs if you haven’t seen it then the Particle Fever is a gripping tale of the search for the Higg’s Boson. Pandora’s Promise is also recommendable as well researched piece on nuclear power.
@DavidNielsen Thanks! I’ve watched very few science documentaries so maybe it’s about time 😃
@simonbs I am biased, Particle Fever might be my favorite documentary of all time, it manages to make hard science focused on theoretical physics an approachable and thrilling tale.
I tend to watch a lot of documentaries, if you want one focused on the history of IT, then The Commodore Story is quite good, I have a thing for documentaries focused on the Amiga.
@DavidNielsen The Commodore Story sounds like something for me! I’ll put Particle Fever on the list. Thanks 🙏
@simonbs oh and Becoming Bond, which is just endless amounts of fun, a tall tale of George Lazenby becoming James Bond. It shouldn’t be as interesting as it, but I have watched that one like 10 times.
Fuck it, I will just rattle off names:
Class Action Park
West of Memphis
Terms and Conditions May Apply
Inside Job
Citizenfour
The Panama Papers
Please Remove Your Shoes
It’s called being a junkie.
@DavidNielsen Haha, you’re really into documentaries! I hope I’ll be able to raffle off a list like that by the end of the year. Becoming Bond sounds like something I’ll enjoy.
@simonbs I might be the kind of person who organizes his documentaries by topic, so whatever you are interested in, I likely have recommendations.
Becoming Bond is a good pick, fun, light and Lazenby is a fantastic storyteller, plus it is fairly short.
If you are into tech and gaming history, then Ars Technica produced a bunch of great short ones.
