[quote=Anonymous]So this weekend, because of this thread, I watched Just, Melvin (more boring than I expected) and Aunt Diane.

Just, Melvin was creepy and I agree with another posted who said he was probably still abusing his "favorite" daughter.  Just the way she reacted to him at the hospital... ew ew ew.  I was really turned off by the filmmaker, though.  At the end, I was expecting him to run and in and "expose" everything, like he seemed to be promising he would do.  When it was over, I felt the story was incomplete.  I wanted a clear timeline and some information, rather than random in and out conversations that seemed to be his attempts to craft a story that was too confusing.  The people were really interesting.  I wanted to hear more from them!

There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane... with just the facts of the case, I would 100% believe that the family was in denial and that the driver was plastered.  But the security footage and witness testimony just keeps me doubting.  I really would not be surprised if some new info came out later that explained the autopsy results without alcohol.

I've seen Blackfish a few times, and I think it's a good doc if you understand the context and that there is some manipulation involved.  A lot of the people interviewed had very little actual contact with Tilikum, and "footage" that the viewer assumes is associated with the whales in question is actually not.  Knowing that (I did, before I watched it) I think it's worth watching.  I do not think SeaWorld is a heartless monster, but I would not go there as long as they have whale shows.[/quote]
