What Movie Will We Watch This Week?
13 2012-01-23 by highlady420
UPDATE: Voting and Nomination are Closed for this week. The Ultimate History Lesson is the movie for this week, discussion will be opened up on Sunday. The movie should be on the sidebar here as well, with a direct link to the youtube video.
Okay no one else seems to have done this and I really want to get started, so what movie are we going to watch? Please add one movie suggestion per comment so we can vote for the one we all want to watch. Thank you.
If you have no idea what I am talking about see this and read Username_Tokin's comments contained within as well.
Update/ Additional Stuff: I guess we should limit the nominating and voting time so nominations and voting are open until Noon (EST) Tuesday January 24th. After that the video with the most results will be posted. We suggested 1 week for viewing, so maybe we should plan on opening up discussion on Sunday January 29th then on Mondays we can post the polls. That's my tentative plan, if that doesn't work let me know.

The Ultimate History Lesson with John Taylor Gatto
It is 5 hours but it hits a lot of topics that are sometimes considered "conspiracy theory", such as eugenics, public relations, dialectics, behavioral psychology, philosophy and more all centered around the history of the compulsory schooling system.
Hard to summarize 5 hours of stuff but it boils down to a tremendous gap in knowledge between "us" and "them" that allows our world to exist the way it is now.
Of all the documentaries I have watched, I have not found any that looks at the education system and its history, besides this.

This was incredible! I'm finishing up hour 5 now. It's taken me a few weeks to get through it. Tragedy and hope is my favorite podcast

"The shock doctrine" the story of disaster capitalism.

As promised, sidebar updated.
I gave this top billing (for now), while we get this process started.
EDIT: This link contains a couple of lists, and links to other lists. Many viewing URLs for stuff that's available online.

Thanks

As a follow up (since you stepped up to the plate to take a swing at this), might I also suggest some sort of "time window" management be added to this (e.g, we'll take suggestions for the next N days, then we'll allow another X days for viewing, then post a critique).
This will allow (assuming it catches on), the planning of the NEXT one to be worked in at some point in the process of THIS one.
(If you post actual dates, I'll include that info in the sidebar or related link.)

Yeah I was thinking about that but no one had already suggested a time limit. I'll update it.
1 [deleted] 2012-01-23
Sidebar updated accordingly.
Thanks again for spearheading this. I'm looking forward to seeing this community's participation.
2 highlady420 2012-01-23
No problem and thank you.

Time's about up. I have to go to work soon. Send me a PM after you post the results and stuff. I'll update the sidebar when I can.

"Slavery by Consent"
I've seen a lot of documentaries...I highly recommend this one. You can skip part 1, it's more or less a super long intro...Playlisted the full movie in the link below

I'd like to see something that provides some insight into American food production, from GM to all the packaging/processing/preservatives. Maybe something that delves into the roles the FDA has played over the years, too. I've been recommended Forks Over Knives, and I haven't watched it yet.

The nominations for this week are closed but you should suggest this one on next week's post.

There's always another week!

Yep!

Might as well start off with a big one!

Can we get some suggestions on Netflix if there are any? I don't want to pirate any movies ;)
3 highlady420 2012-01-23
1) Not everyone has Netflix so it makes more sense to do stuff that is available to everyone.
2) It's not pirating.
3) Many documentaries are available for free educational purposes/ personal viewings. For example everything BBC docs does, so you can download them all damn day if you want to.
4) If you check out the list of movies here, the ones that say "DIDN'T FIND FREE STREAMING COPY" are often available on Netflix either streaming or DVD, like Inside Job, Generation Rx, etc.

Zeitgeist
3 [deleted] 2012-01-23
would have to split zeitgeist in half at least. imagine it will take a while to separate the misinfo from the disinfo.
1 highlady420 2012-01-23
Well if people wanted to do that we could discuss it. It is just a suggestion because there is a lot of good and bad information in it.
1 namepitched 2012-01-23
Specifying which one would help as well.
2 highlady420 2012-01-23
I did. If I had meant one of the other two films currently available I would have used their full names. Zeitgeist is the name of the first movie.
1 doc58 2012-01-23
Zeitgeist is new world order propaganda. It is really scientific dictatorship, communism and agenda 21 all rolled into one. Peter Joseph was paid by the Rothschilds and Rockefellers to promote it.

And? The idea is to go through and review these movies as a community, ruling out what is and isn't fact and what is and isn't a good logic jump. That movie is insanely popular, the more crtique it receives the better in my opinion. Then the lies can be squashed and there are plenty of them.
1 highlady420 2012-01-23
Granted there are a lot of debunks/ criticism of it already, but I think This community should do one too at some point. I don't mind waiting for some indefinite period of time.
