Trailer Park Boys - low budget Canadian comedy about a bunch of guys who live in a trailer park (never would have guessed from the title) and the poo poo they get into. I remembered seeing a thread for this on SA a while ago, and then I saw that it was on Instant and decided to give it a shot. At first I couldn't figure out what/why I was watching, but then it became one of my favorite shows of all time. Seriously. If you haven't seen it yet give it a shot - I binged through most of it in 2 days after having my wisdom teeth removed and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Best Worst Movie, the documentary about Troll 2, is FINALLY streaming on Netflix. I heard it was going to be streaming all the way back in...February? And I've been waiting for it to come to instant since then. It's a fantastic documentary and if you love lovely movies and the cults surrounding them, I highly recommend this.

I love documentaries, but I get burned out on the serious nature of most of them. Well, today I stumbled on How Beer Saved the World. This movie is filled with anecdotal evidence that beer is the single greatest invention of all time. From the agricultural revolution, to the worlds first antibiotic, to the first credit system, beer has a long history of directing humanity. Very funny at parts, and the egyptologists/archeologists they bring out to discuss beer throughout history are well spoken and interesting. Definitely a must see.

Also, the night-vision scenes might be some of the funniest ever on the show. I dont have enough good things to say about the show. I remember watching it on a family trip about 8/9 years ago or so, and a family friend introduced us to the series which he had to buy from Amazon Canada, because they didn't sell it in the US. I saw them do their live performance earlier this year and I thought it was loving great - at one point Julian sold hot dogs to the crowd. I got to Meet Rob Wells, John Paul Tremblay, & Mike Smith as well. Also, I really think this show tackles gay/bisexual issues in seriously the best way possible.

Also there's just something about the Swayze express and Julian's hatred of Patrick Swayze that just makes so much sense. I do agree though that the show really seemed to fall apart at the end and was just missing something (apparently there's some interviews where they all explained it better). I also watched Follow the Yellow Brick Road recently and it gave me a very mixed feeling. I'd say it's worth giving a shot but it reminded me a lot of the works of Junji Ito. Not a lot gets explained over the course of the movie and it has a very helpless feel to it, but if you're into found footage movies then it's worth your time.

I just love how as the series goes on, you gradually realize that all the "poo poo" descriptions aren't just Lahey's dumb thing... it's something every single cop in town does.

Even if you're not a huge fan of Formula One, I've gotta recommend Senna:Netflix posted:This fast-paced documentary profiles Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One racing, and a hero in his native Brazil. Using only archival footage, director Asif Kapadia examines the idealistic Senna's inspiring legend. Charismatic, compassionate and a dedicated risk-taker, Senna was known for his integrity in a sport often fraught with cutthroat politics, and also for the deep religious faith that gave him purpose. The documentary is completely bonkers, both in the sense of how intense F1 driving is and just how banzai of a driver Senna was. I just got done watching it myself, and I greatly enjoyed it--as have others.

Petr posted:I have no idea if it's new, but Stephen Fry in America came up a few days ago in my recommended list, and I marathoned it. It's amazing. Six one-hour episodes of Stephen Fry, Official British National Treasure (tm), making his way across every state in the nation. I'm American, and I would call this series life-changing. It really opened my eyes to what I have available to me as an American, and I've already begun making plans for my life based on what I saw. If you're an American, you'll love his reactions to cultural differences he encounters, and if you're not, it will maybe give you a better perspective on what America is all about than Fox News and GBS.

It's a good natured show and he's friendly with everyone. There's a scene where he goes to a college football game and starts crying because it's so beautiful. He snubs Miami though and says that place is terrible.

cargo cult posted:I kind of wanted to watch this but I'm also really apprehensive because it seems like it'd be a feel good fluff series where a guy with a great accent poses mildly provocative questions to Appalachians like how do you survive without health insurance etc. Theres no way he drives around in a refitted British Taxi asking people why they loving love authority so much and how they stand for all the million different things which are lovely about this country. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't see the purpose in it and his good nature and manners would just piss me off. Perhaps I should just watch it Dude its not a hard hitting documentary on America. It's just Stephen Fry doing a tourist trip to the US and looking at interesting poo poo.

Kneecaps posted:Motherfucking Troll Hunter, bitches. It's a Norwegian faux-documentary like District 9 about a guy who hunts trolls for the Norweigan government. It sounds completely ludicrous but it's the best movie I've seen this year. It's not some lame-o low budget B movie that's "so bad it's good". It was seriously enjoyable. Want to give you a manhug for suggesting this. I loving love Troll Hunter. Just finished watching it. Would there be any more movies like this? I'm in the mood for some scary/horror stuff, maybe some weird faux documentaries. edit: Wanna visit Norway. So pretty.

Just finished my week long binge which consisted of me finishing up the last 3 seasons of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and all of Breaking Bad  ... Holy gently caress that was awesome and I wholeheartedly recommend both of the shows highly. I'm in the mood for some nice drama preferably a sci-fi one(Ive already watched BSG and Caprica). I've heard some people mention Charlie Jade but Im open to more suggestions. Even though its been on Netflix for a while I'd like to recommend Trigun its a nice offbeat western style anime with a nice mix of action, comedy, and even some sci-fi mixed in there

DS9 is so good. I can rewatch Duet, The Visitor, and The Magnificent Ferengi over and over. Charlie Jade is pretty good but it also frustratingly ends on a cliffhanger. I'd also say the first 5-6 episodes sort of suck with really annoying editing. They replaced the producers after that and it got much better.

Perhaps I should just watch it Heaven forbid somebody do a documentary on a vast, incredibly varied nation without just talking about authoritarianism the entire time and weeping. Constantly immersing yourself in that kind of political speech will just make you a really depressed an angry person, even if it is warranted. It's a fantastic series, and it definitely will make you look at the US in a different way. Just the first episode, showing New England and Upstate New York blew me away with how little I've actually seen of the place where I was born and grew up.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Hard Target is my favorite Van Damme movie, but it transcends that faint praise into an actual badass, entertaining, ridiculous action movie. It's John Woo's first American movie, and it has Van Damme with a mullet, essentially starring in The Most Dangerous Game in New Orleans. Plus, the bad guys are Lance Hendricksen and Arnold Vosloo, so what's not to love? Just to make it more clear, this is the movie where this image comes from:  And the end fight is ridiculous, with the best ending ever written.

It looks like Tucker and Dale vs Evil is gonna hit instant streaming on 12/29. That should be right up your alley. I also noticed that 11-11-11 is gonna be on streaming soon as well. Is that the fastest a movie has gone from theaters to streaming? edit: While its not on instant streaming, if you liked Troll Hunter, you'd love Rare Exports. foodfight fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Dec 27, 2011 |

And what the actors who played Cory and Trevor said about the guys on set wasn't very flattering. Oh, and if they're available the Xmas Special and the set up special for the second movie are okay. They did another show recently, The Drunk and on Drugs Fun Time Happy Hour. It wasn't very good. Also, bonus John Dunsworth defending TPB to some prick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8rEY-JtdNk Plus Sara and Rick had appearances in Hobo with a Shotgun!

As for expiring movies, I've taken care of The Last Temptation of Christ, Heavenly Creatures, Enter the Dragon, Rio Bravo, Rocky, Bonnie and Clyde, and The Long Good Friday all in the past few weeks. The only ones left in my queue that I really want to watch are Arsenic and Old Lace, Carrie, and possibly Drunken Master. There are a few others in my queue that I don't really care about that are going away, too.fenix down posted:Geez, there is a lot of stuff expiring!! I highly recommend The 39 Steps. Bonnie and Clyde is pretty good too, but I don't really think it's essential viewing.
