Didn't the old James Bond movies, like, just come back up a month or two ago? I know they've already popped up and disappeared a couple of times; I think one of my older posts in this thread is "hey guys, classic Bond is coming soon!" back when instantwatcher had its Coming Soon feature. edit because my old posts aren't worth making a new post: yep, then went up in September 2011... and back down on October 1, 2011.

about my animes, but does anyone know why the dubs of the Netflix version of Trinity Blood are different than the DVD release? It's like building a bridge, waiting a year, and then tearing it down and replacing it with a functionally identical but shittier-looking bridge (my god, poor Father Tres). What's even stranger about it is that the episodes have otherwise gone unchanged, even retaining the original Funimation credits.

They definitely came back up VERY recently. I am reading through the novel's and was excited to watch through them when I was done.

Yeah, I just readded them about two weeks ago. All the Roger Moore era ones were stuttering weirdly for whatever reason. Really sucks to see this whole chunk just gone.

Cocoa Ninja posted:I think the people that don't like Netflix because it doesn't have "current stuff" will never be happy. The licensing money required to make ongoing deals with all the major studios and networks is simply prohibitive, not to mention every company is trying to start its own ill-advised fiefdom of internet streaming. OK, great. Good for Netflix. I still want a subscription based service that has everything. And it's more than possible, except, as usual, people don't want to get together and create one thing - they want to divide in the stupidly naive hope that they will become the sole content distributor. So while it may work out for Netflix, it's still a bad decision for the customers.

Just watched Safety Not Guaranteed, and maybe it was the stomach flu but I really didn't like it. And I am a HUGE Parks and Rec fan and generally love quirky indie movies. I'm also starting Fringe. Glad to hear it picks up in the second half of the first season. I hope Netflix adds the fifth season of Toddlers and Tiaras (yes, I said it)

The Sky Crawlers is the only thing I've seen recently that isn't dubbed. If you're looking for an anime fix and can tolerate dubs, the classic series Trigun is up, and it's just as great as ever. XXXHolic's dub isn't too bad, either, and neither is Gunslinger Girl's. However, if you're only tolerating dubs, stay the gently caress away from the following or your goddamn ears will bleed:
Soul Eater Trinity Blood (seriously what the gently caress) Squid Girl Hetalia: Axis Powers Blood+ Desert Punk's dub is iffy for more than just lack of voice acting skill/variety.

I just watched The Terminator again on HBO Go. I still love that movie. I never noticed that Bill Paxton is "Punk Leader" and the gap between his teeth is a mile wide.

Just watch "John dies at the End." Kinda freaky, pretty good and enjoyable movie though. It feels like it should be way too quirky and slapstick, but it totally isn't.quote:Promising a trip that transcends time and space, a drug called Soy Sauce is sweeping the landscape -- and quietly robbing users of their humanity. This sort of describes the movie. It's an entertaining movie. Opopanax posted:Did they take off Jon Benjamin Has a Van? We watched two episodes and got really into it, now I can't find it at all I think it's on Hulu Plus. particle409 has a new favorite as of 23:36 on May 5, 2013 |

One of my very favorite movies is Gangs of New York. I just found a TV show on instant called Copper, set in the same time and place. On the first episode now, but so far I quite like it.

How did I miss Black Butler when compiling that list? It's subbed! drat fine show from beginning to end--it's easily among my favorites. Speed Grapher is dubbed, but it sounds okay. Some of the characters are a little...off, but none of them are dealbreakers.

As long as netflix keeps Fringe around until I finish binging the gently caress out of it, I'm good if letting contracts expire allow it to produce shows like House of Cards. I tried browsing through instant watcher's list but didn't really see any major shows/movies that I'd miss from these contracts expiring.

The main guy's quest is a little too righteous, and the world feels small so far. But I look forward to seeing the rest. The theme song sounds like a different rendition of the Irish punk song (both covers of a traditional I assume) from The Departed. Possible second Scorsese connection.

You're probably too young to remember when Andrew Dice Clay was a big enough deal that he was given the freedom to make his own movie, which became The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Rock and Roll Detective. Its absolutely awful and you should absolutely watch it while its up.

Don't know when they put it up, but that new Halo movie (Forward into Dawn) that started as a webseries is really good. I'm not much into Halo, but a friend who knows I loves me some sci-fi had me check it out when it first came out and I was very impressed, it's a really well-done movie.

Both The Faculty and Disturbing Behavior are on Instant. So you can basically watch the same movie twice, I suppose.

I'm not even sure if they are still on there, but Honey & Clover and Death Note are just about the only subbed anime Netflix carries. Use Crunchyroll for subbed shows, both current and past; they have an app for consoles and assorted settop boxes too.

jojoinnit posted:Everyone knows Terminator 2 is up right? I remember being disappointed for months when it was only the first one. Slice of Life: When I was a young man I would record any movie on tv to VHS on 8hr extended play. The ABC Sunday night movie was the world premiere of T2, and the VCR was set. Btw, BIO-DOME opened the Friday after, unless the commercials were all lying, in case you want a chronology of what was happening when. So, there was some gnarly weather causing the news cut in for half an hour, and then the movie aired from where it stopped. I later recorded CHILD'S PLAY and CLIFFHANGER. T2 stopped early, as did Sly's dud. Years later, poor, it was my longest videotape and just wanting something on in the background, I saw 92% of the movie a good eighty times. Anyway, my point is that it's not good (TV edit actually improves it) and the first is spectacular so stop complaining, aforementioned people.

I forget if it's been up for awhile, but The Thing (1982) is on streaming. One of my favorite movies ever. It's an engrossing sci-fi/horror flick with Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, and Keith David. Go.

Watched Meek's Cutoff last night, and though it's not for everyone, I would strongly recommend it. It's basically the worst case scenario Oregon Trail game in movie form, and has almost zero dialogue and virtually no characterization. However, it has a great, almost surreal atmosphere, and every single frame of the movie is seriously gorgeous.
