No excitement, no metaphors, just a narrator droning on with footage of animals. I'm hoping it would make good study-noise, since just about everything else I've tried tends to distract me. Any suggestions? Oh, and I know about Carl Sagan's Cosmos, but I want to know more about animals and animal behavior because... I don't know, I just feel like it. I don't think its on instant, but Planet Earth is perfect for this. Really, anything with David Attenborough should work, like this bird documentary.

Similarly (and on instant to boot), Blue Planet is nothing but non-stop David Attenborough narrating over amazing marine animal footage! When I stupidly drank 30 shots of espresso on a bet and spent a day and a half in a painful caffeine overdose torpor I watched nothing but Blue Planet over and over. It helped.

I signed up for the Netflix trial a couple of days ago to find TV shows and movies with Spanish audio and subtitles to work on my Spanish. I've just started Breaking Bad (and of course watched all of season 1 in a day) and was wondering if there was anyway to set it up so I can find other things with audio and subtitles in Spanish.

Human Tornada posted:Is there a good channel on Roku box place to watch some of the old Hammer horror films? Not really. The rights to Hammer films are tied up to multiple (12+) film companies. But you can check - Netflix - this guys blog: http://blog.humaneguitarist.org/uploads/HammerFlicks/currentVersion/HammerFlicks.php Checks a list of Hammer Films against what Netflix has (you can chose streaming only matches) Hammer also has their own Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/hammerfilms You might get to watch a movie (depending on your location in the world).

Keanu Grieves posted:Wake Wood is good if you're into Irish horror. So is Dorothy (a.k.a. Dorothy Mills), but I'm not sure it's on Netflix. I've heard it favorably compared to the original Wicker Man so I am pretty into the concept. Also, even though it's one of the newer Hammer films, I still trust they will provide me with some good atmosphere and beautiful shooting locations.

Keanu Grieves posted:Does Netflix have the director's cut up? I strongly suggest that version. What's the difference between the director's cut and the theatrical cut? I didn't see it on Netflix (saw it at a friend's house), but I thought it was loving excellent and now I'm wondering if there's something I missed. Whatever I saw was pretty dark and gory already, so that'd be crazy if there was more where that came from.

Someone mentioned it on the last page, but Wilfred is much better than a show about a man and a dog getting high and having misadventures should be. What surprised me is that it's more about Elijah Wood's character dealing with his crippling emotional problems as well as the ongoing mystery of what Wilfred truly is than anything else, and the way season one ends on the cliffhanger of Ryan ruining his sister's life, inadvertently pushing Jenna back into her boyfriend's arms and almost killing Wilfred before realizing that his basement may not exist and he's losing his mind was some seriously nerve-wracking poo poo.

I enjoyed it despite the somewhat unsatisfying end and sort gets back to the real roots of horror before the torture porn genre become popular with moves such as Saw.

I liked that season 7 had a definite arc and antagonist unlike most of season 6, but it sill isn't as good as seasons 1-5.

Holy cow The Yellow Sea is freaking incredible. It's very refreshing to see an action movie that is well done yet retain a lot of the disbelief required for action superheroics. After the second 15 min insanity-run-for-your-life scene and the 3rd 2 dozen person knife melee, you understand the movie is just nuts and really godammn cool. Brutal as hell too.

Are we totally sure that Ryan didn't actually succeed in killing himself and this is all just playing out on a plane above human consciousness?

Hopefully they'll renew it, because of the Season and all. But that'd depend on someone at Netflix doing something sensible. Of course, the most sensible thing would be letting Friday the 13th lapse and replacing it with the Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween series.

Yay the day is here. Go watch Klown if you're in the mood for an incredibly raunchy comedy. It's basically an hour and a half curb your enthusiasm episode, except at parts you're wondering if you're going to get arrested for watching it.
