Ken Burns documentaries. I'm stuck at the contradition right now where some of the things I criticize in Burns' style (specifically, his tendency for fully decomplressed storytelling) also exists in Adam Curtis documentaries at a high level, and yet I don't know why I think he pulls it off so much better than Burns.

I should do my "I don't like Ken Burns" post soon though. Maybe I'll just acknowledge the potential contradiction and move on.
