#not a documentary

[magsmog]

So, a quick question: there a cellphones in the 9-1-1-universe, yes? If, for some reasons, someone is not able to pick up his kid from school, do you honestly just send someone else without telling your kid? No call, no message? Just a stranger to pick you up? And as teenager you just take it, without checking?

Honestly, just to write drama you make them all dump as a doorknop?

I know I'm not watching a documentary, but seriously how is this possible in 2026!?! Make it make sense to me.

So, as you might have guessed it, I'm not a fan of the last episode (the whole season 9 to be honest).

Maybe Tim should more focuss on the actual storytelling, and not how to bait the Bu**ies more. nothing makes sense anymore.

sinceriously, baffled in bavaria

I cannot believe this discourse is getting rehashed again we've done in like 50 different fandoms and it's the same every time, you're all seriously writing essays about how fix-it fics, aus and shipping are disrespectful to the ~violence of capitalism and ~~ the very serious themes~~ when you could just boost and interact with complex analysis and let people have some fun. i promise you the show doesn't get any less deep because someone wrote about sae-byeok and ji-yeon in jeju or some horny about sang woo

I don’t agree with everything said in this video (particularly about Adam Lambert), but it’s a really well done look at each of Queen’s albums in depth and really worth a watch! Honestly the best done breakdown of Queen’s music that I’ve seen on YouTube.

“But season four wasn’t realistic!” say people who had no problem with Irene Adler going from loose hair in a bathrobe to fully dressed, made up, and hair intricately styled, arriving at a secured airplane hangar just moments after Sherlock to talk to Mycroft.

I love that they're called true crime documentaries as if people are out there watching and making fake crime documentaries

Deciphering the Zodiac Killer Jason Hassett USA, 2023 ★ "We got a zodiac documentary at home.."

This thing starts with a production logo featuring music that's a rip-off from the GTA San Andreas theme. That's a clear indication of what to expect.

I feel like this was the """filmmakers""" getting their hands on editing software for the first time and they just decided to pull several clips from other (better) documentaries about the subject and just add some clumsy narration and stock footage on top of it.

Not bad for a first try but, why would you release this?

Embarrassing.

Alla ricerca dei fantasmi italiani Francesca Staasch Italy, 2023 ★ The fakest of fake "documentaries". Look, I love this kind of stuff (the supernatural, the evil presences, the foul odor-- no, wait, maybe not that one) but this is so low-effort.

Have you ever seen Nuke's channel on youtube? He makes compilations of videos like this, featuring ghosts, strange creatures and other delicacies. Sometimes he features an italian team, like the one featured here, and it's the same thing: they either oversell or undersell their "stuff", no middle ground. And it feels too fake and prefabricated. I don't believe in ghosts or strange creatures or anything like that, but it's entertaining watching compilations like Nuke's, because some videos are really well done. This? Feels like a spoof. It's two or three tweaks away from becoming a cheap horror or found footage movie, which they should've done from the beginning anyway..
