I think being called a movie hipster for liking a silly spoof film more than a Dogme 95-inspired European black comedy might be the highlight of my posting career.

I have a question. I live in Canada and using the DNS settings on my PS3 toggle between American and Canadian netflix. Mostly I leave it on American because of a vastly larger selection, but will check on the Canadian netflix for things that aren't available and often I can find them there. For example I streamed The Hunger Games about a month back and I believe it still hasn't landed on the American version. Also on March 14th (pi day) I switched to Canada Netflix to watch Pi. I'm just curious if the reverse is something that Americans do to watch Canadian content or just watch stuff that isn't available on their normal netflix accounts.

American Netflix has Kids In The Hall AND Trailer Park Boys so I think we're good on this end. But seriously, is there actually completely different stuff on Canadian Netflix as opposed to just less stuff?

There's less overall content though. Most recent example I can think of is Top Gear season 18 is on Canadian Netflix but US only has up to 17. I believe Iron Man 2 is on Canada, as well. I use the US one despite being in Canada using unblock-us which spoofs the DNS or something. Every so often I want to watch something that is on the canadian one and it's a big hassle to change back over  (just changing the DNS entries on my router but  )

I would love to do something like this, and I do have the capability to do it, but it's kind of a pain in the rear end so I never do. I would probably do it more if there was a website that showed the stuff that was only streaming on Netflix Canada or Netflix UK or whatever. ...is there?

There definitely is a bunch of different stuff on Canadian Netflix. As stated we've had Hunger Games since dec. 31st, also Arrested Development came here first. As to a list of what's available in canada only I've used http://netflixcanadavsusa.blogspot.ca/ it looks horrible but just click on A-K (read more) and it'll bring up all the movies available a-k and then you can just scroll down till you see a canadian flag with no usa flag beside it. There's really not going to be a whole lot of stuff that isn't available in America though, but it may be worth setting up the ability to go back and forth as there's bound to be stuff released earlier here than in the USA.

Actually I happen to know thanks to Netflix emailing me that as of today US Netflix as season 18 of Top Gear

Sarchasm posted:That movie sounds awesome and I intend to watch it, but I just want to point out that AZNV also has Lady Snowblood (big influence on Kill Bill) and Tetsuo: The Iron Man (classic Japanese body horror) up for streaming, and that's just what I found by aimlessly browsing around for five minutes. Really good stuff on there, thanks. Yeah, despite the fact that I still have legitimately no idea how legal the site is (but it's been around for over 7 years at this point so it's obviously not ruffling too many feathers) I love it. I've spent many an hour on there watching unofficially subbed films and dramas that never got a Western release. Nobuta Wo Produce is one of the best thing I have ever seen, in any format. Hell, it's the first place I saw Hellevator (which, to be on topic, is on Netflix). Other amazing poo poo on there that may be impossible to find anywhere else: Real Fiction (South Korean horror thriller shot in one day with no script), Ten Nights of Dream (ten different directors interpret dreams some monk wrote about 100 years ago), Cure, etc. etc. It probably deserves a thread, now that I think on it.

Well, The Raven sure was a... thing. It was worth it just to see John Cusack amusingly ham his way through two hours of Edgar Allan Poe-age, but the movie as a whole just never really justifies its own existence. Also tried to watch Tiny Furniture and had to turn it off after 10 minutes. I swear, that movie somehow crammed more pretentious "clever" babble into 10 minutes than there exists in the entirety of Juno. And I never thought I'd type any variant of that sentence.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way about Tiny Furniture. I really wanted to like it, but I only got about 10 or 15 minutes in before I tapped out. Everyone else I know who has seen it loved it. I also didn't like Punch Drunk Love or Oldboy, and both of those have been extremely well-reviewed. I finally watched Dahmer last night and had my crush on Jeremy Renner thoroughly ruined. That man is a great actor, he adopted all of Dahmer's nerdy mannerisms so well (I watched a Jeffrey Dahmer interview on the History channel awhile back), I don't think I'll ever be able to look at him the same again. I also watched Broken Flowers based on recommendations from this thread. At first I didn't care for it, but after it marinated I realized I like it a lot, which was the same reaction I had when I first saw Lost in Translation. I think it just takes awhile for me to process eccentric, slow-paced films. I had no idea the cast was going to be that huge or that Tilda Swinton could be that gorgeous.

Dahmer is the movie that launched Renner back before they realized he's only really good at playing Jeffery Dahmer.

I liked Jeremy Renner when he was on an old Bravo reality show about actors called the It Factor. That was when he was only known for Dahmer and just starting to field bigger offers. The show ended with him tearing his heart out trying to decide between doing a little indie movie he liked and doing SWAT. I didn't expect that decision to kinda sum up his career.

They have a little drop-down box that lets you select which Netflix region you want to watch. So you can keep your DNS settings set to their servers, and use the website to determine what feed they serve you.

I think it's more like paying for a service and then being told you can't fully use that service because you're from X country and then you lie and say you are from that country so you can use the full service and nobody experiences any negative effects because it's all just bureaucratic red tape anyways so it really doesn't matter.

I thought Going By the Book was pretty comedic and really lighthearted, been a while since I've seen it though. That guy's great in everything I've seen him in (Countdown sucked though).
