Waco - mini-series

#1

anyone else seen this yet? mini-series based on the waco seige in 1993

don’t think it’s got a UK release date yet but it’s worth seeking out as it’s great

#2

yeah i’m gonna check this out. heard some mixed things about it but michael shannon is great and i’m interested in the story anyway.

#3

Is Michael Shannon playing David Koresh??

That really could be worth watching if so.

#4

nah he’s the FBI negotiator who deals with koresh

that said the guy who plays koresh, taylor kitsch, is pretty good

#5

Have you all heard this excellent concept album?

#6

Yeah Shannon’s probs a bit too old to play Koresh but that’d be fucking awesome.

Still worth a watch I’d say. Waco’s fascinating and devastating : (

#7

Bit rubs but also not too bad. Will probably watch to the end. In Into Waco and stuff like that

#8

The Dogbowl classic:

#9

watched this, enjoyed it on the whole. reckon i’m gonna go down the rabbit hole on waco stuff now

#10

How much Boards of Canada will feature I wonder?

#11

I’m always interested in this kind of thing. Pretty sure with a few different choices I could easily have ended up joining a cult as a younger chap.

#12

Hoax

#13

Read an article about Jonestown recently.

918 people died! Crazy.

#14

just from you reading an article?

:drum::drum:-CHH

#15

Yeah Jonestown is the properly terrifying one. The pictures of the aftermath cannot be unseen.

#16

This book is amazing if you want to read up about it

#17

great doc about jonestown on youtube, has interviews with survivors, his kid, the works. really scary. he started out with such good intentions, too.

#18

not to mention direct footage of the attack at the helicopter

#19

debateable

#20

don’t get me wrong, i’m not trying to make him out to be a tragic figure, he’s an absolute horror show. i just think maybe for 5 minutes at the start of the sixties he did have genuine dreams of a better world to come.

altho probably he was just faking this, tbh.
