Werner Herzog Is Branching Out

Amazon very frequently has products with mismatched user reviews for some reason. I just thought this was was particularly funny example, starting with a sense that "this feels kind of off" and then reaching a beautifully incongruous climax.
Apparenlty this Werner Herzog doc is paired with the reviews for a children's cartoon called Slug Terra.

Thank you for explaining that. The second review was hurting my brain and horrifying me because I thought they were talking about WWII.

one thing I learned working in e-commerce is that you never assume a product on amazon will have the same ID indefinitely. It's entirely possible that an ID was reused or that an intern has tried to link multiple products but the spreadsheet they were working from got mis-sorted 8D
For some reason, my sleepy brain interpreted this thread title as meaning that Werner Herzog was going to become a tree. Which seemed oddly on brand for him.
To be fair, while I don’t think I’d call him “interesting”, the villain of world war 2 does really stand out
And then there was the time that a skateboarding magazine interviewed Werner Herzog.
This is absolutely delightful.

I loved that. And 100% on board for Russian Orthodox church music for skateboarding.
I'm legitimately surprised he doesn't have favourite camera though.

I'm told there's a saying among photographers: "The best camera is the one you have with you, but the best lens is the one you left at home."
Paul F. Tompkins has become the canonical Werner Herzog in my mind, with actual Werner Herzog some kind of inferior simulacrum.
Holy shit this is perfect.

This is wonderful.
Glad to know it’s not just me.

Reminder that actual Werner Herzog knows about this and likes it.
