HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I feel like it would've made more impact if it came between seasons 1 and 2 of the show. Are we talking about Fire Walk With Me? (Which is a much better movie than people make it out to be but it made Laura Palmer far less enigmatic).

Is Hell On Wheels really bad. I keep seeing commercials for the latest season and it's always popping up on streaming for me. Should I give out a go?

david_a posted:Is there some stupid licensing reason why that movie is on Amazon Prime but not Netflix? Amazon and Netflix seem to cut a lot of the same deals but get stuff up at different times. So if it's on Prime chances are it'll be on Netflix within a few months.

I got hooked on it pretty straight away. Its done fairly well, straight forward plot, and common nails it. Also apparently historically accurate.

Glug_Glug posted:Is it any good? I watched the first season, thought it was okay but the Pilot was clearly the best part. I'm guessing it doesn't get as good as that, but still watchable? I've only seen the first season and the first episode of season two, but things aren't looking good. The episode description claims they meet a threat unlike any they've seen before, but that "threat" is a moving herd of zombies. Which was already covered and discussed at the end of season one. It doesn't have anything as stupid as a character dropping the n-word or the women talking about their vibrators, but they do include a scene that's only there to show off how good GERBER'S APOCALYPSE KNIVES are at cutting up former humans. Compare with this picture:

Gerber blades are pretty crappy, especially the gimmicky stuff like that. That said, season 2 of TWD gets really good. If you liked the first, give it a watch.

My problem with Hell on Wheels is that I can't watch a TV Western without comparing it to Deadwood. Hell on Wheels fares miserably in that comparison. Go into it without any expectations and you should enjoy it enough.

The zombie herds get bigger as the show moves forward. Product placement doesn't bother me, they have to pay for the show somehow and if the Gerber ad means they get a bigger zombie budget then so be it.

I started watching HoW last week on my iphone while commuting on the train and am at ep 4. I like it and will watch out at least the 1st season, but can also agree with the reviewer comments regarding massive plot holes and Lost-like "WHY THE gently caress don't you tell people what the gently caress you want", poo poo. I can't compare any of Durant's speeches to anyone (although he's trying) on DW, especially AL.....DW was so loving dense it's a futile effort to compare anything to it, really. Also, not getting the slams on Common, he seems to be doing a decent enough job. I don't own any of his music or know anything about it though, so maybe people hate him because of that.

I'm pretty sure all the 1313 movies are on Streaming. Watching one is a treat, watching more than one becomes a punishment very quickly.

I've been a huge Terriers fan for a while, but I showed the pilot to my girlfriend to see how she'd like it this weekend. Within 24 hours we had watched 9 of thirteen episodes. It's amazing. Watch that poo poo.

Terriers is one of the worst shows you can stream on Netflix because you will be hit with a crushing sadness when you get to the end and realize that there will be no more of it because it was too beautiful to live. Interestingly enough we sort of know why it was canceled and it was for predictably depressing reasons:quote:Based on what these people saw in those two episodes, the FX-centric viewer just rated it lower in areas such as intensity, suspense, sexiness. When you talk to the USA-type viewer, they rate it lower than their favorite shows because it’s not a land in which every babe is hot, and the sky is incredibly blue, and everybody lives in an apartment three times as big as they could legitimately afford, and everything comes out great in the end. What we ended up with—and this is a much more nuanced and complicated answer—was a show that somehow fell between two brands.

A whole helluva lot of good stuff got added recently! Amadeus - Fantastic biopic about Mozart. A Bronx Story - Crime drama set in 1960s Bronx directed by De Niro himself. Best In Show - (This has been up and down a lot on Instant, but it's hilarious so you gotta watch it whenever you get the chance.) Bringing Out The Dead - One of Martin Scorsese's more under-appreciated film, it's about an ambulance driver in New York City. Set over 72 hours, it's got a tone that really drives home the characters profound exhaustion. Equilibrium - A scifi dystopian flick about a world that has banned emotions. Not the greatest movie ever made, but it does have very imaginative fight scenes featuring a new "martial art" called "Gunkata". Slither - A very fun comedy-horror movie about a bunch of alien slugs that try to take over a small town in South Carolina. Starring Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker, and piles of good ole fashioned gore.

That's utter bullshit though. There are plenty of successful shows that don't have that, Justified, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead. Terriers was cancelled because it was boring as gently caress, a show about nothing where nothing happened. It had all the makings of a terrific show except a plot and story.

Thanks for the recommendation of Klown. This is the most awesomely hosed up comedy I've ever seen. Every possible horrible thing you hope won't happen, happens about five seconds later.

Has anyone else noticed that instantwatcher seems to have stopped noticing new TV shows? The "new" section doesnt list Freaks & Geeks, or the new series of the Office - or am I just looking in the wrong place?
