Out of the 10 I clicked, two weren't working. One was Fahrenheit 9/11. I have this DVD and don't mind sending it to you since my computer is slow as hell and wouldn't stand a chance at uploading it to the internet.

I have a few documentaries that I don't mind lending actually. I used reddit mainly to exchange favorite books and dvds and it was a positive experience on whole. I don't mind extending it to hubski. :)

Ah, I don't actually upload any of them, that would be illegal. I simply aggregate the ones I find online.

That's an interesting stack of DVDs : ) I have watched 4 of those and will look the other ones up. I like to see that you have the KGB UFO files. Have you seen The Disclosure Project (2001) and more recently Sirius? Some wild stuff if you're into this sort of thing ; )

Actually I wonder what hubskiers make of the UFO subject. Am I wrong to assume that this seems to be more of a main stream kind of crowd?

I won't push any further, but the offer still stands if you want to see one.

I'll definitely watch them before the end of the week. The government covering up things is expected by this point, but that doesn't mean we can't find out to what extent. Who would want to refuse release of this information to the world? Could they have discovered something that no one can understand as of now? Could it be used as a weapon? I'm not the type of enthusiast who claims everything could be caused by aliens, but it could be aliens. Joking aside, if there were attempts to find other life by alien civilizations, I would love to find out about it.

Thanks deiki.

My motto about this (and many other taboo/controversial subjects) is to keep an open mind. Not to believe any one one source but not to reject the whole subject either if one source is dubious. If we do our own research, I believe in time the truth (if any) will start raising up from the dirt and it'll be obvious for everyone to see.

I'd be curious to know your opinion on those videos when you get to watch them.

Ah, I like to call that the George Carlin mindset. He just rejects everything and ridicules it for the rest of our entertainment.

I'm watching them on Friday, right before I leave for Fullerton. Saturday is 24 hour comic day, so I'm wondering how they will affect my comic. I'm excited to watch them though!

What a legend, one of my favourite comedians.

I'd love to see the end result : )

Do you enjoy him before or after his wife died? The way he is afterwards is pretty dark, but I love how straight-edged his comedy becomes. If anything, I imagine that's probably how Mark Twain was on stage. I would give my unborn child to time travel to one of his talks.

    I'd love to see the end result : )

We can talk about the films when I get my comic back!

I'm not sure in what phase of his life he was when his comedy became more political and like you say darker. When he stopped with fluffy superficial comedy and went deep and to the core of the ugly of society. That's the part of his work that I really admire. His brutal honesty, even if he's insulting you, you still love him for pointing out the absurd and rotten in society.

Yes! God, that still influences me to this day.

btw, I just watched both. Excellent. I have to leave now, so we shall talk about that later. It's nice to know that we share a common interest in UFOs and dark humour.

Good to know you liked them : )

There are a few other documentaries on the subject under the Universe category of Lucid Tree if you're interested.
