So I just watched all 4 seasons of battlestar galactica in about a week and a half. Amazing show. Totally have a crush on Grace Park now.

If you go to streamingsoon, it says there are only going to be four titles added in the next month. Is the site wrong, or are Netflix seriously cutting down on the number of titles they are adding to WI?

Earlier (however it may just be speculation) people were talking about companies raising the price of the licenses they sell netflix to stream their movies. This could just be the time it effects us. Comes at a lovely time though, the plan changes take effect next month.

Does it get better later on? I like sci-fi but I don't like Star Trek (yet I love the naval fiction it's based on) if that's any indicator of my tastes.

I'd encourage people to stick around until the dog episode anyway, because I can imagine someone who doesn't like the rest of the show still loving that episode. I think that's around 6 or 7.

Is this the old series or the new one? If you're talking about the new series, it pretty much gets worse as it goes on. If you like it it probably won't turn you off, but if you don't like it it's not going to suddenly hook you. The miniseries that begins it is about as good as it gets, so if you're not in to it now you won't be later.

This article says they'll be streaming a bunch of Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM movies in September, and this website lists a whole bunch of movies coming out in the next several days.

a kitten posted:Dear Zachary which was such an amazing and emotional documentary that almost literally floored me. I knew basically nothing about it going in, other than it was a documentary film made as a video letter to the child of the filmmaker's murdered friend. Just finished watching this. drat this movie is heartbreaking. Really amazing though.

That movie was so incredibly sad and devastating that I hesitate recommending it to anyone, simply because I don't want them to go through that.

Not sure if this is a repeat but the first season of Louie is up on streaming, for anyone who never caught it the first time around. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, watch it, Louis C.K. is one of the funniest mofos around. I just finished watching the first episode of American Gangster, a new BET series on famous black gangsters. First episode is about Tookie Williams, founder of the crips, and it was alot better than I thought it would be. Also it's narrated by Ving Rhames who is way pimpish. Guns and Butter baby!

I like that everyone's thinking that we'll want to pay for like 6 separate services just to get !!EXCLUSIVE!! content. Somehow I don't think this will work out as well for all of the separate content providers as they seem to think it will.  I wonder how long it will take them to declare their ventures failures.

It's strange that those Bond movies are only up for a month. Most movies are up for a couple months at least. Good chance to watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service which is highly regarded as the best non-Connery Bond movie if not the best Bond film.

The massive Netflix catalog expansion over the past few years has been pretty awesome. It has gotten to the point that between Netflix/Hulu/others, I could cancel my cable. With this news though... I dunno. With the rate hikes, streaming license hikes, etc., I don't see Netflix being able to maintain this level of content for long. Companies are just going to kill the entire paid streaming market if they keep this up. Which may have been the plan all along. Grr, why can't we just have nice things.

It's called Example 8 Hour 23.976 and is a 480 minute long repeat of the same 15 minute clip of gardens and such, which ends with a guy yelling a speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caeser into the camera, then making popping sounds with his mouth for a bit. I don't really know why, but it captivated me,

No, the miniseries was padded considerably, outside the last season it's the weakest of the the show. Season two and three are the strongest with the latter being among the best television I've ever seen. But yeah, if Raskolnikov2089 is not into it by season two, he never will be. Most of the Starz movies I've seen are really terrible quality anyway.

The Pixies documentary "loudQUIETloud" is up and if you have any interest in the Pixies or music documentaries or music in general you should watch it. It follows them on their 2004 reunion tour.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I Love You Phillip Morris I just saw this on the recs from this thread, and I really liked it. I'm surprised that I never heard of this considering two fairly big hitters in Carrey and MacGregor were in the film, but I guess it had a limited art house kind of release because of all the gayness?

I'm not too worried about the Starz deal going away, either. There are probably a lot of films that'll disappear from my queue, but I doubt I would have ever gotten to many, anyhow. It's almost all new stuff, and Starz usually gets lower tier stuff the other premium channels don't grab. Until all the deals for awesome TV shows and classic and foreign movies dry up, I think Netflix streaming will still be a wondrous thing.

I'm keeping netflix because it's my primary source of visual entertainment, but "Starz Play" is pretty solid. Basically what I'm trying to say is watch "Up" and "Party Down." "Spartacus" if you like sandals and leather, in case it goes away.

A reasonable statement. I've got all my favorite Pixar movies on DVD already, and have seen Party Down, so those aren't too big on my list. I'm sure there are some other titles, though, that are probably through Starz that I don't realize that will be annoying to lose.

Just saw a lovely Australian disaster movie with teerriibblee science, Arctic Blast. Somehow a solar eclipse causes a hole in the ozone and everyone freezes to death. Worth watching if you like yelling at dumb Australians and bad science. Was in the mood for another bad movie so I found Carriers - but it's actually really good. Got Chris Pine and Piper Parabo, and it's basically a "on the run from zombies" road movie except people are just sick, not undead.

Note to anyone who suffers from excessive emotionality, just don't watch Dear Zachary, the movie left me practically in grief, not just feeling sadness, but grief. A curse on everyone in this thread who recommended it. I will be donating without a doubt.
