I have seen a hell of a lot of documentaries in my lifetime and I love the fact I have the opportunity to share my knowldge via this blog. A bad documentary is exponentially worse than a bad traditional film in my opinion. No camera tricks, trick lighting , quick cuts, stunts or nudity can make your doc more appealing to audiences. You either can tell a story or disseminate information well or you can’t, bottom line. Here goes.

Dart’s WTF? Awards/Watch This Bullshit At Your Own Risk:
Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator- They took 2 discs to tell the viewer what a great man Ronald Reagan was...being a child that grew up in the drug ravaged government funding deficient inner city during the Reagan Bush Administration I’d have to beg to differ with this documentary.
Porn Star: The Legend Of Ron Jeremy- What the hell was I thinking renting this? Who would ever believe a documentary about a man that has bedded hundreds of women could be so damn boring?
Any Religious Right Wing leaning documentary that praises Conversative interests- I aint the one. No thank you.
One.

WAAAHH!! lookit me!! i have a huge cock, and i've done everything you can imagine with a gazillion dimepieces!! WAAAAHHH!!
Nice selection Dart. Two of my favourites would have to be 'Dark Days' with the soundtrack taken from Endtroducing and 'Hoop Dreams' which follows two kids in their quest to make it to the NBA. Sorry if I missed these in earlier posts.
