/ot/ - Off-Topic

Did anyone else find this one super interesting? I absolutely loved it. My favorite genre of documentary is the kind that focuses on some super niche topic like this. Any recommendations for documentaries that also focus on random subjects?

Yes Grizzly Man is great! I'd also recommend the rest of Werner Herzog's documentaries all of them are just random topics he personally finds interesting.

Some really random ones I like…

Atomic Cafe (1982) which is a collection of historic footage and propaganda pieces all about atom bombs. It's pretty funny in a dark sense and uses a lot of juxtaposition.

The People vs. George Lucas (2010) a movie about fringe Star Wars fans and their love-hate relationship with the creator. What's interesting is it was made before the sequel trilogy so the "fringe" and "crazy" fans that are depicted in the film are now the kind of people you would find on youtube.

Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era (2011) movie about women in B movies. If you like Troma and other low brow trash (like me) you'll get more out of it, but even without that there's also discussion of the B movie business as a whole that's interesting.

Tapped (2009) A movie about bottled water, the business, the environmental impact, and companies attempts to market something you can get for free.

Room 237 (2012) Insane documentary which markets itself as being about interpretations of the film The Shining, but is actually a movie about conspiracy theories and how the human brain has the tendency to see patterns where there are none. If you haven't seen the Kubrick film this one will make no sense though.

You went above and beyond! Thank you! It's so hard to find good documentaries, and I'll definitely check out all of the ones you listed. I hate being let down by an interesting premise. There was one documentary I tried to watch a long time ago about how a woman lied about surviving 9/11, and worked her way up to becoming president of the World Trade Center Survivors' Network before getting caught. Somehow, they managed to turn this very interesting subject into something way more boring. It wasn't bad, but it had the potential to be so much better.
>I'd also recommend the rest of Werner Herzog's documentaries
I love all of Werner Herzog's documentaries that I've watched. I love his perspective, and he has such a unique style. That one clip of him talking about the chicken cracks me up.
>Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era (2011)
This one sounds really cool, as I've also watched a lot of B-movies and garbage of that nature. I actually know nothing about the industry, so I'm excited to learn.
>Tapped (2009)
I just watched this one because of your recommendation, and it's so fascinating! It's personally interesting to me for reasons I can't really detail, but this is a great recommendation. I wish more people were aware of this.
>Room 237 (2012) Insane documentary which markets itself as being about interpretations of the film The Shining, but is actually a movie about conspiracy theories and how the human brain has the tendency to see patterns where there are none.

This sounds like my favorite type of thing. I've never watched The Shining despite loving horror movies because I hate Stephen King. Maybe I'll have to finally watch The Shining just so I can enjoy this documentary! Kubrick did direct one of my all-time favorite movies, and I like a lot of his work, so it won't be too much of a chore.

I really love princely characters with light, usually platinum blonde, hair like Eichi or Tadase. It's such a particular trope but they always look so clean and pure and otherworldly especially with the white horse imagery.

as a blondie, never really understood the obsession the people have with hair colour

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAEEEEEEAUGHHH!! *wilhelms cutely*

AH!

Thinking about that one post where a guy wouldn't read Subahibi because of the yaoi. Like, the other stuff was fine, but that one element was a bridge too far.

These people irk me too, I was going to post in the vent thread about it. I don't understand why they don't just go full yume or at least do mob x character art if the other half of the ship is that negligible to them. It has to be a clout thing.

Have you ever been embarrassed to like a ship/fandom? When Undertale was really big I was too ashamed to admit to liking it even though it was mega popular and there was literally no reason to pretend to hate it. Now it's 4AM and I'm still in the mood for fontcest.

it's not gay but and it's not even popular aside from one pretty talented artist only drawing fanart for it years ago, but the girl involved in is massively popular despite being side girl so main girl shippers are seething lol.
Strangely enough in a fujo magazine i got her poster and cherry magic poster too so I guess double win ahah

>The disinterest the west is displaying for NGWK/EluSam surprised me a bit.
Wouldn't surprise me if episode 1 filtered people with that blushing Tokiyuki scene. I remember an instance where I recommended the anime and someone replied "Is this that show that pedos like?"

Oh hey we're at bumplimit. New thread time I guess.

Ajin is such a sausagefest that it should have been a BL/homobait title from the start. There are NO women of any relevance aside from Izumi - it's all revolving around homosocial bonds of men who prefer to socialise with other men, fight other men, be entertained by other men, conspire with other men, chase other men, save and be saved by other men and talk DEEP STUFF with other men.
I can't conceive a possibility of some male readers being upset at fujoshi calling the manga a feast of undiluted homosexuality when it has a higher male/female ratio than Legend of Galactic Heroes, features an MC being coveted by two dudes of his own age and an old man, and is a uniform fetishism galore. This shit ain't straight, dude.

Personally for me it's Kou x Kei, because of the contrast between them (smart - dumb, emotional - stoic) and because their interactions when they either kill each other or save each other or both at the same time are hot.

Definitely going to read this!

LET ME BE GAY WITH HIM YOU BASTARDS

I would also love interspecies BL with prejudice as a theme. I don't like ugly bastards or intentionally hideous orcs or dwarfs, but I would love to see a bishie elf love a monster boy or something…

I've kept it to myself long enough but I really want a ship of one of those confederate flag hat wearing guys x a African American where the black one is the uke. Where when they first meet the confederate guy doesn't have his hat on and he meets with the black guy and they become buddies and the confederate guy is worried that ine day the black guy will find out that he's racist. I'm not American if anyone's wondering.

I used to find Jesus hot. I still do.

I will make a moid harem.

That's awesome sister, just remember to get the most submissive moids.

>>1230
Actually I prefer to break the strong “Alpha male” and turn him into a cutie submissive boy

I've always imagined T-rex as a music teacher for some reason. I think he'll best fit the stereotype - scary guy with a gold heart.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

Honk honk.
