This documentary is funny, strange, and unsual. There isnt a comedy this year that made me laugh as much as I did during this documentary. Its worth watching for the turkey hunter alone. An interesting backstory involves Morris' first title "Nub City":
Vernon was nicknamed Nub City because its residents participated in a particularly gruesome form of insurance fraud in which they deliberately amputated a limb in order to collect the insurance money. "In the hierarchy of nubbiedom, the supremely rewarding self-sacrifice was the loss of a right leg and a left arm, because, so the theory went, 'afterward, you could still write your name and still have a foot to press the gas pedal of your Cadillac.'" Morris's second documentary would be about the town and bear its name, although it makes no mention of Vernon as Nub City, but instead explores other idiosyncrasies of the town's residents. Morris made this omission because he received death threats while doing research; the town's residents were afraid that Morris would reveal their secret.--Wikipedia
Anyone know how to find Morris' newest documentary, "Tabloid". How the hell does he find these people?

I saw Tetro in a movie theater I'd never been to during a thunderstorm
long story short, halfway through the movie the theater lost electricity and I was stuck in a room full of strangers with no electricity and had to wait 2 hours. Great movie though lol!
