@Jcolinsol I was immensely disappointed when I noticed that the r and the n were seperate letters.

@romromxy He seems to spend his time doing his blog on the BBC website at the moment. Some really interesting stories on there.

When he says stories, I thought he meant like news stories for documentaries. But as he goes on, it sound more and more like he's talking about fiction. (19th century novels) He's basically describing "Lost", imaginative, ambiguous, "wonderously complicated", hidden bits, consumers want to find out what happens next and go back over it.

@trombone7 except lost was shit

[trombone7]

@lsmarters Correction. Lost turned out to be shit. The first two seasons were really good and was imaginative, ambiguous, "wonderously complicated", had hidden bits, and consumers wanted to find out more and go back over it. He's describing lost perfectly. Including using the internet to immerse people in the story.

As always Mr. Curtis is insightful in ways that most have never imagined. Great job.

[chowks]

At the very least his documentaries make you look at issues in a different way, with the ultimate aim of making you think. I don't agree wholeheartedly with his perception of what's going on, but as film makers go I rate him quite highly...especially when the alternatives sprawling around the net are the plethora of lazy "Loose Change" style pieces.

His films make me think and provoke dialogue...if you're looking for films that are the be all and end all of truth, you're on an endless journey.

apparently Adam Curtis must have ran over Matchbox555's dog or something, because he spams every video that has anything to do with him, with opinion based slander, while providing no factual basis for any of it. Its your opinion and your entitled to it, but other people are just as entitled to point out how transparent and baseless it is. Sorry you don't like his films. Life will go on.

He's anti British and supports the theories of Linden Leroux. Just look at his videos he's uploaded. As Curtis is British and does a pretty good job of exposing both British and American corporatism, he probably feels like it's an attack on America by Britain.

@ChunderChunk

Any more anti-British than a British government that taxes and cuts at will? Any more anti-British than a bank?

[nwfriedm]
