“If I hear another American saying: “Ah, Putin is a dictator and the Russians love autocrats, they are ignorant…” The Russians are deep, they are deeper than we are, they think things through in a deep and brooding fashion. And they are good people, they are kind people, they would take the shirt off their back to help you.”
For years, Miles Lagoze served in Afghanistan as a Combat Camera, shooting footage and editing videos for Marine Corps recruiting purposes. In this devastating film, Lagoze assembles his own footage and that of his fellow combat cameramen into a never-before-seen look at the daily life of Marines from the ultimate insider's point of view. More than a mere compilation of violence, the edit ingeniously repurposes the original footage to reveal the intensity and paradoxes of war in an age of ubiquitous cameras, when all soldiers can record themselves with helmet-cams and cellphones. Combat Obscura revels in the chasm separating civilian from military life and questions the psychological toll war exacts on all that it touches.
A couple of years ago, KFC came up with a genius idea to promote both its products (fried chicken seasoned with eleven herbs and spice, you need lots of water to wash it down your throat, though) and its restaurants : organizing debates about "mysteries", i.e. fashionable pieces of retarded conspiracy theories.
Their first issue was a debate between two consumed imbeciles : a flat earther and a hollow earther. You can have an overview of their usual stale arguments in favor of both their trisomic views of the Universe, argumented with false facts and willfull ignorance of the sensible world, each one in a slightly different direction, with the superior attitude they usually adopt in the comment sections (another typical example will be the state of the comment thread below this entry, btw).
This indeed, is a popcorn moment, too bad it's so short, a fist fight at the end would have made for a perfect ending, but it would also have ruined the restaurant it was recorded in...
