What? What’s even the point of those documentaries? You just show up, grab a camera, and start filming... and suddenly you're some big shot? Seriously, if I had a few buddies struggling with addiction, I’d be famous overnight.
Take Ry Cooder, for example—he heads down to Cuba, films some locals playing music, and... wow... he's such a genius. Why is he so "great" again?
Honestly, he could've just stayed in his room and paid someone two bucks a day to film the whole thing for him.
I just don't get it. Where's the excitement? Where's the actual drama?

Honestly, not every documentary needs to be about aliens or government conspiracies. And they certainly can't all be sex education programs like the ones airing on cable late Saturday nights.

Some of them passed away after the movie ended.

Which one? Is that the guy who did that documentary about the dude getting lost in the desert before some guy found him? Something like... Paris - Texas? Yeah, I could totally see him filming that one....

...that documentary is basically like those Japanese horror flicks, like The Ring... people die just from watching the movie, specifically the ones who were actually in it...
you missed that part... you getting it now?😁
