For fans of The Room and other horrendous fan favorites, this doc is arriving at the perfect time.
Sex Art is a new documentary by David Fine that seeks to discover where (if anywhere) we can find “obscenity” on the spectrum between erotic art and alternative pornography. It looks pretty damn interesting, though to be perfectly honest, I only watched this trailer originally because it had “sex” in the title.

TV Buzz The prequel series to Werner Herzog’s documentary, Grizzly Man, premieres tonight on Animal Planet. The New York Times reviewed the show, and said it looks like “a chronicle of one man’s extended suicide”. Timothy Treadwell, the deceased star of Grizzly Man, is obviously the star of the show, as the 8 part documentary takes viewers through the hours of unused footage of Treadwell playing with bears, calling them names, and being generally crazy. Kids, don’t play with bears.
