"Herzog understood some recordings should never circulate. He endured the trauma of listening to the Treadwell tape so we wouldn't have to. After decades plumbing the darkest depths of the human condition, his face makes clear that even for him, this is too much."
"I agree and I love him but I think he might be a sociopath, but perhaps it is just that he is German"
"also absolutely insane that they got werner herzog as a guest star."
"I like this about his reviews of horror movies too: compare them to other films in their genre, not Werner Herzog and Jafar Panahi."
"He said that he's a prolific document-forger, teaches lockpicking at his college, doesn't believe in the present, and closed the evening with the question "who is the ghostwriter of our lives?" RS filmmaker"
"actual nightmare scenario straight out of a Werner Herzog doc: a girl's "pooch" keeps going viral from some 4chaner who made up that he was dating her and couldn't get her to lose that weight. The whole internet now debates this for days every few years after it goes viral again."
"Red Scare Movie Night: Aguirre, The Wrath of God by Werner Herzog"
"He embodies German existentialism and nobody can handle that in 2024. Keep him safe. Watch his movies."
"my dad didn't really make any great points but he keeps chickens in the back yard and he pointed out that y'know they have social dynamics among each other and they bond with you a little bit. since then i haven't been able to watch any of Werner's cynical pontificating without cringing."
"Maybe that Herzog quote (or whoever said it first) applies here, something like when the house becomes fully illuminated, it becomes uninhabitable"
