Re: Documentality — Horror Docs

Just so you know:

Memphis is a city in Tennessee.  West Memphis is a small town in Arkansas.

Memphis has a population of about 700,000. 20th largest city in the country. 1.3 million in the metro area. Majority Black. Fairly liberal. We don't think of ourselves as a Southern city. We are a river city. The Birthplace of Rock n Roll.

West Memphis is essentially a giant truck stop. Population about 25,000. It's across the river from Memphis but you can't even see it from here. The flood plain extends for miles. It's a town of farmers and folks who work at Denny's.

Please don't confuse Memphis and West Memphis.

I don't think we did — did we?

Sorry if you thought I was coming at you guys. I thought it was a great episode.

Like anybody, I feel protective of my hometown. Like when people say Memphis is the city that killed Martin Luther King. MLK was not from here. James Earl Ray was not from here. Their paths just happened to cross here. But what do people remember about Memphis? Besides Elvis. Who was not from here either.

Oh, yes. I saw a local production a few years ago. There's a video of the entire Broadway version on Youtube, with Neil Patrick Harris.

Re: Documentality — Horror Docs

The Cropsey doc is on Youtube. Having just watched it, I have to say I would have preferred a good half hour trimmed from it. Lots of padding, long scenes of the filmmakers walking through ruins for no real reason (including one a night because, you know, scary). All the information was hearsay, which while the point, after a while made my ears glaze over. Dragging Satanists into it didn't help, especially as this almost seemed to be the final answer of the filmmakers. A famous Satanic Priest lives nearby? Well, you should have brought that up before and followed that thread instead of having more long walks.
