Room 237

fascinating investigative documentary about the secret messages hidden in The Shining. it has greatly increased my appreciation for stanley kubrick and the shining.

5/5 bags of popcorn. one of the good ones.

Very little that was compelling at all, imo.

Now Pump, there's a compelling documentary! I thought so anyway.

"Valley Uprising"

Wow! What a great doc on the sport of rock climbing. I'm not even a fan of the sport really or anything, but I'm a huge outdoors fan and took my first trip to Yosemite just a little while back... So I have a huge appreciation for the aura of the Yosemite valley itself, and definitely of this documentary now as well. Highly recommend!

Wait is that a season 1 spoiler in their season two trailer title?

Is it really a spoiler when based on a true story? (Didn't watch)

Room 237 is not a documentary about amazing secrets hidden in The Shining, it's a documentary about conspiracy theorists.

Recommendations for another show a tween and adult would enjoy watching together?

The actual subtext would be getting into something about Jack Torrance being a loser (he's basically an unemployed dude sleeping until noon) and an abuser, for starters.

Holy crap does Quantico turn into a steaming pile of crap. I'm pretty sure having an excuse to stare at Priyanka Chopra for 40 minutes at a time is the only reason I'm continuing.

The 2nd half is especially bad when they start applying the dumb twists and turns of all the training program flashbacks to the main plot lines.

I was enthralled by the Tony Robbins documentary. I could only imagine trying to sit thru one of those seminars for a week.

I've been a big David Cross fan since Mr Show started but OMG was his Trump rant insufferable. I thought the special was good up to that point and I tried to power through the rant, but I just couldn't. Please talk down to me and everyone else for another 30 minutes mister. I would have walked out too and it's sure not because I'm a fan of el******.

Hitler's Olympics and Rolling Papers both decent documentaries to watch in the background. Rolling Papers had me fairly interested until they decided to spend the final third of the film on Uruguay rather than Colorado.
