Done The Impossible, a documentary about Firefly fans, is the most insufferable thing I've ever put myself through. And I liked Firefly and Serenity. Seriously, this is more painful than watching both Trekkies documentaries.

I watched an episode of Orange Is the New Black to get it off my recommendations queue and holy poo poo, this show is really good! Last time I did that was with Doc Martin, because I was sick of seeing Martin Clune's frankly pretty weird face staring at me, and that one was good too. I gotta start trusting netflix more. But god dammit, I'm not watching Ted Talks: Lifehacks. There's no part of that title I don't want to punch.

drat, it looks like Netflix got the "Baby's First Photoshop" version of The Sword in the Stone.  Franchescanado posted:A Shot In the Dark Best of the Pink Panther movies by far.

iv46vi posted:We also had The Shield for a while, but it requires a serious time commitment with six seasons of a very linear show. Yeah but... thats like devoting serious time to Breaking Bad or the Sopranos - The Shield is an amazing show, and probably the least widely known of the triple-A amazing US dramas of the last decade or two. marktheando posted:You don't need to pay, I'm accessing US Netflix on my UK Xbox just by changing the DNS settings. Thats interesting - I wasn't able to do it at all without a proper region swapper - maybe the fact that its a UK Xbox in Germany watching US Netflix is just too weird? Watched Top of The Lake, The Fall and The US Killing Season 3. As much as I enjoyed them, I now think I have had enough for the moment of gritty crime dramas starring the strong woman [not Sarah Lund] with the beautiful but bleak scenery of [not Scandinavia] and the plot points of [definitely not the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo]. I honestly enjoyed each very very much, but there's a lot of shared DNA there. Stumiester fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Dec 3, 2013 |

One film that's been added recently (though it may have been one of those that periodically drifts in) is Friday Foster, IMO one of the more underrated blaxploitation films. It's a lot less seedy and more comic book-y than most, with a good sense of fun to it, and one of the best casts ever assembled for a film in this or any genre- Pam Grier, Yaphet Kotto, Carl Weathers, Scatman Crothers, Eartha Kitt, Jim Backus. It was actually based on a comic strip, albeit one that had stopped running by the time the movie came out.

Just a very moving film. That last scene

If you dig Michael Shannon, yes. If not, it's...not bad but Shannon is the main reason to see it.

I only watched it because MY GIRLFRIEND badgered me, but yes I was very pleasantly surprised. It's a bit twee sometimes, but all the other things it has going for it more than make up for that. edit: it also has a really amazing use of the Tune-Yards song "Gangster" a couple episodes in.

I kinda liked this when I finally watched it, but man, talk about a show that ends just as it was getting interesting. Also the protagonist is blatantly dull and unlikable compared to literally every other character on the show, right up until she (final episode spoilers) snaps and beats the gently caress out of the Pennsyltucky at the end. Here's hoping for season two!

I'm not a Tim and Eric fan so I was wary when I saw Tim was in it but I thought he was pretty good. If you're someone is on the fence just go and watch it. It's not a comedy and the characters are unlikable people but it's well done.

My mother mentioned to me the other day that the copyright stuff on Orange Is the New Black was labeled as 2007, is the show secretly years old or was it copyrighted years ago for some reason? It'd make sense if this show was filmed but never picked up by a network then netflix bought it, but that doesn't seem likely.

The Comedy is probably the best depiction of a severely disaffected internet male I've ever seen, carried fully by Tim Heidecker's inherent shitheadedness as an actor. If there was a saturation of movies of that specific type I might have found it tiresome. That's not to say it's "fresh" or whatever, I'm aware there are a lot of character studies about unpleasant) social misfits, but the specificity of it was something I liked. It looks really great, too.

The author got out of jail in 2005, and the snippets of the book I've read were obscenely awful, so I could see the manuscript being shopped around in 2007 and not being published until 2010. Seriously, she's an awful writer.
