	Steely Dan - Two Against Nature - DTS 5.1 - Celebrity Ltd.
		The Two Against Nature - a video accompaniment to the album of the same name - attempts to be half-documentary-half-live-concert but strangely fails to be either.
		Part concert, part documentary, Steely Dan: Two Against Nature offers a savvy cross-section of both old and new material performed by the latest incarnation of the formidable stage bands that founders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen have assembled for the periodic tours unleashed since their early '90s concert reunion.
		Two Against Nature is unlikely to win the band any new fans, and indeed will probably try the patience of many existing Dan enthusiasts.

	Journal of Popular Film and Television: Poputarizing science and nature programming: the role of "spectacle" in contemporary wildlife documentary - impact of technology
		The primary subject matter is an exploration of the natural world, with texts typically focusing on living things (most commonly animals or plants) in their wild state.
		Natural history documentaries support this by taking the viewer into locations and situations that they would not generally have access to.
		Concentrating primarily on examples featuring "wildlife," I will not be suggesting that so-called blue-chip (big budget, conventional) natural history texts are no longer in production, but rather that the programs being made supersede traditional generic boundaries in their attempts to capture the imagination of the contemporary audience.

	NOVA The Elegant Universe Watch the Program PBS
		String theory is radically changing our ideas about the nature of space, opening up the possibility that extra dimensions, rips in the fabric of space, and parallel universes actually exist.
		Meanwhile, mainstream science was embracing particles as points, not strings, and the Standard Model was born, uniting the strong force, the weak force, and electromagnetism.
		In order to solve some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, the rules that govern large objects like galaxies must be combined with the rules that govern small objects like subatomic particles.

	Social Documentary Photography
		I am attracted to social documentary photography because it deals with reality; revealing and making permanent every aspect of human nature.
		Social Documentary Photography may be defined as the act of recording, with a camera, human beings in their natural (ie unposed) condition.
		The social documentary photographers of the twentieth century have ensured the old adage "out of sight out of mind" can no longer be taken for granted by providing us with the opportunity to see the world through their eyes.

		For evidence of this, proponents of the documentary hypothesis point to the correspondence between the regulations of Deuteronomy and the nature of Josiah's reforms.
		Indeed, it is important that the problems of the Graf-Wellhausen documentary hypothesis are presented to the student of the Old Testament, in the hope that, by the grace of God, his confidence in the Biblical record may be strengthened.
		According to many who hold to the documentary hypothesis, the Patriarchs were not historical figures, but were either personifications of the various clans that bear their names, or they were works of fiction.

	Salon "Hype": Harboring Grunge
		Nevermind that "Hype" itself, by the very nature of its being, is part of the media it so eagerly blames for ruining the Seattle sound.
		And while "Hype" condemns MTV for propagating the myth that grunge begins and ends with Kurt Cobain, there's not the slightest suggestion that Cobain was anything less than the patron saint of musical integrity.
		"Hype" wants you to think that a few interviews with some less popular bands and some poorly shot concert footage lend the film an insider legitimacy and credibility that excuse it from the same accountability it demands from other media.

		The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is the true story of a Bohemian St. Francis and his remarkable relationship with a flock of wild green-and-red parrots.

		This fascinating and provocative documentary not only presents Barbour's thinking in his own clearly elucidated words but does it with wit and flowing style.

	Interview with Filmmaker Kaylyn Thornal of the documentary "A Centered Universe: The Life and Art of Harry Holl,", 7/03
		Thornal’s newest entry into documentary filmmaking is "A Centered Universe: The Life and Art of Harry Holl." Finally completed after three years of shooting and over 70 hours of footage, "A Centered Universe" chronicles and celebrates the life of sculptor, potter, and Cape Cod resident Harry Holl.
		Though there were talks of filming a documentary about Holl then, Thornal felt burned out having just wrapped "Payoff," and the movie did not get underway until one of Holl’s four daughters called her a year later, asking whether she was still interested.
		She added that she could somewhat relate to his driven nature, and when one thinks about the three years she spent directing, editing, and producing this film, it is easy to see why.

		Parallel universes really do exist and they are much stranger than even the science fiction writers dared to imagine.

	Modulations
		Modulations major difference from a film like Hype however is that the pace of electronic music is much more rampant than that of rock, and thus so became the tempo for the documentary.
		It was reminiscent in it's structure to Hype, a documentary about the Seattle Grunge Movement.
		The film was a mixture of short interview clips with people in the Industrial music scene (producers, mixers, artists), sampled performances in different venues (festivals, clubs, raves) and various nearly unrelated glimpses of nature and shapes (connected only to the overlaying beat of the Industrial music).
