The Loving Trap

You should always acompany this documentary with a watch of this short little video. The Loving Trap ( ▶ this video ). It mocks adam curtis style while making some very good points.

Adam Curtis? Commoditized?? You clearly haven't seen this short clip: ▶ this video encapsulating his work.

Why do you think its a joke? it seems you agree with me? Sure brits love to get drunk but their politics always seemed reasonable to me. I love the different subcultures the UK birthed and its heartbreaking how bad things are and are still going to get in the coming century. Downvote me if you must, wont change my personal (albeit uninformed) feelings. As for Adam Curtis i enjoy his work but this parody hits it on the nail: ▶ this video

You'll enjoy this parody then ▶ this video It hits the nail on the head (but I still enjoy Curtis' work)

It's on YT: link Also if you're a fan of his work watch 'The Loving Trap' ▶ this video Enjoy.

> ▶ this video LOL! I had paused Hypernormilzation on the mid point when it got to AI and the picture of the screen was a one of these guys [0] and I just had it that way and kind of wondered why I prefer to just hear his work as as podcast as I do other stuff rather than hyper focus on the screen. This explains my latent feelings of the absurdity on screen rather well. His documentaries have so much exposition that you can kind of look up the topics on your own as you go along to try and compare and contrast the facts as they're narrated, his work is probably my first foray with interactive TV. 0: link

> Boone directed readers instead to a short online spoof of Curtis’s films by Ben Woodhams called “The Loving Trap,” which describes his work as the “televisual equivalent of a drunken late-night Wikipedia binge.” I'm glad this was mentioned, because i think it's hilarious: ▶ this video

Obligatory. If you enjoy Adam Curtis, you should have a look at 'The Loving Trap of Pandora's Nightmares' - its only 3 minutes long and rather amusing. ▶ this video

It's easy to get sucked into thinking it all makes perfect sense but there's a few pretty big implied leaps of logic. This spoof sums it up pretty well I think ▶ this video

Yes. I disagree with most of his points of view. Some of his statements are outright incorrect and a majority are at least questionable or wanting for references. In _The Trap_ he constantly uses the phrase "based on numbers" in a negative fashion, as if it were an inferior method of analysis. I find that particularly strange considering that if you just listen to his narrative without the images, there is no analysis and often no cogent argument. One argument, if I remember correctly, was that game theory should no longer be used as a tool because it was largely developed during the cold war, which is over now. And yet I'm utterly I'm fascinated by his movies. I probably (re)watch one every 2 months. Go figure. edit: You can't miss this parody: ▶ this video

And if you're interested in Adam Curtis, I recommend this parody/critique: ▶ this video Not saying that Curtis's documentaries are without merit, just lending a little context.

Have you seen "The Loving Trap"? ▶ this video (spoiler: it's a parody of Curtis's methods)
