| So did I. But it's because I confused it with the "Come into my
| World" video, directed by Michel Gondry. One of the best music
| videos, in my opinion. It still would have been a little odd to
| see it here, though.

| What a brilliant and insightful comment. Please post more.

| I'm a big Adam Curtis fan, but I was pretty disappointed by this
| one. The first 5 parts are pretty much the exact same content as
| his older films - he uses all the same music and even a lot of
| the same interviews - and some of it seems like he's creating a
| parody of his own films.
|
| That said, I liked part 6, but I think it should have been
| released by itself.

|
| Hasn't been a single repeated interview yet.
|
| A lot of the archive footage is different, although yes some of
| it is repeated.
|
| The music is decidedly Curtis. Yes, Pye corner audio;
| worriedaboutsatan; nine inch nails and burial etc feature
| heavily.
|
| But this is the first time he's used an Apex twin track. Plenty
| of other new bits as well.

| Watched this a few days ago. Highly highly recommend.

| It's an hour and fourteen minutes. What do you suppose you'll

| Ooh, look at mr "I don't watch my videos at 0.25x speed" over
| here.
| prvc wrote:
| The total runtime of all six episodes is approximately 8
| hours.

| Oh thanks for the clarification! That was not immediately
| obvious to me, though in hindsight it does say Part 1. I
| agree, that is quite the time investment. Like any mini-
| series, the first segment really needs to nail it to keep
| the viewer coming back. I share some of your sentiments.

| I've been awaiting a new Adam Curtis documentary for so long now.
| They're always a little bit more interesting, more thought-
| provoking and insightful than most of what is out there about
| whatever topic they are dealing with.

| Feels like an "event" in documentary cinema. The right inquiry,

| control occurs. At what cost comes the safety net? And who
| provides it?

| Love a good Adam Curtis documentary, especially when he throws
| light on obscure moments in history. Probably best not to hang
| your understanding of the world on the scaffold he constructs
| though.

| And he mispronounces "Thabo". He seems to say more like "Tsabo"

| I just finished his yesterday.
|
| Lots of mind-blowing history.
|
| I didn't know the ML researcher George Hinton is the great great
| great grandson of George Boole.
|
| Highly recommend!
