| | Customer Reviews: Great DVD Action Packed and Very Funny! (01 January 2009)Excellent DVD set, especially for the price! Full of interesting facts and some very funny moments! Bargain! Excellent Before I Watched the DVD (19 December 2008)For Many years I have enjoyed watching the quick and amusing interviews/ situations, louis Theroux has created for the BBC and the public, this DVD is of no exception, therefore i highly advise anyone if they want a perfect night in, to watch and enjoy this DVD at night while sipping a brew with a few biscuits for ducking. Best documentaries you will find (19 January 2008)Louis theroux is a genius in my eyes and with this set you will agree,the way he works with people to bring out what they try to hide and the way he subtley exploits people with ridiculous,often offensive beliefs is wonderful. There are a few classics missing due to people not giving consent but this is still a flawless line up and a must have for louis fans,documentary fans and people with a love of wry humour Documentaries at their best (12 January 2008)This collection is an excellent tribute to Louis Theroux's work over the past decade or so. His unique style of interviewing is great. He puts himself in the most awkward of scenarios and manages to make his audience laugh, think and react in ways only he could. A mixture of well-known 'celeb' interviews and 'weird culture' documentaries makes this collection a real insight into how people live. The DVD includes hours of interesting viewing for Theroux fans or for those people out there who are yet to experience this talented man at work. Recommended! Essential for fans (24 November 2007)This 4 disc collection contains: Weird weekends Black nationalism Head for the hills Gangsta rap* Porn* South Africa Swingers Thai Brides Wrestling* When Louis met: Jimmy* Paul & Debbie The Hamiltons* Chris Eubank Ann Widdecombe Louis & the Nazis the Brothel Louis's bits from TV Nation *Previously available on The Best of Weird Weekends vol 1 & 2 dvds. For anyone hard of hearing, English subtitles are included When I first saw this for preorder I was overjoyed because I thought the collection would be complete. Alas it's missing a lot of great Louis Theroux episodes- some available on past dvds (Hypnosis, UFOs) but many unreleased (Infomercials, Off off broadway, Demolition derby, Louis & Michael Jackson...). Louis writes in the insert that he wanted to include "When Louis met Max Clifford" in the set but Simon Cowell refused to give legal permission. Fans like myself then, can only hope they release a 2nd volume in the near future and Simon finds his sense of humour and relents. Needless to say however that what is part of this collection is well worth the investment. The back of the dvd box states that due to copyright there have been some edits made to some episodes but I can happily say that whatever edits were made aren't noticible overall. There do seem to be a couple of abrupt cuts in one or two episodes but I have no idea if that wasn't how they were originally broadcast. Lazily the only extras in this collection are a very young looking Louis' reports from Michael Moore's old TV Nation show. At the very least they could have ported the extras from the previous Weird weekend dvds to this set. At most episode commentaries would have been a very welcome addition. Regardless of all the could-have-beens if you're a Louis Theroux fan this is an essential purchase and I would also recommend getting his book/audiobook in which Louis revisits and follows up on many of the subjects featured in this collection. |
