If you live in New Jersey and are familiar with Clinton Road from the Weird NJ series you might be surprised to find out that this guy dumped a few bodies on that road.

Attack The Block is a pretty awesome cleverly shot scifi flick about aliens invading a London apartment complex and the gangsta kids who fight them. I don't think it's on american netflix, but I'm pretty sure its on most of the other ones

There's also the prequel-movie that is sort of a mess and leans way more towards the darker, stranger, Lynchier end of the series, but has some totally excellent sequences if you're a fan (to be watched only after the series finale). The season two midsection, between reveal and finale, is largely garbage which I think you can pretty much skip if you want. I don't know when the Internet became so selective that they couldn't consume a thing whole though, I mean, this is the Netflix thread, how many people here haven't voluntarily sat through six consecutive hours of trash.

Yeah, at a certain point, twin peaks makes a major tonal shift. It becomes a lot slower, a lot more difficult, and sometimes obnoxious. I love the show, enough that I still basically like it after that point, even though the high points are much farther apart, and the lows are much much lower. Watch it until that tone change happens, at least. Then give it an episode or two. You'll know if you want to stick with it or not.

Finished the new season of Lilyhammer off last night, definitely better than season one. Focusing more on Giovanni's antics in the club and with his goons rather than his odd family life. One thing that always gets me about the show is how people bounce from Norwegian to English so often right in the middle of sentences or conversations. Being a sheltered white male in America, is it really common in other countries that have multiple speaking languages to just bounce around languages like that?

Yeah it's called "code switching" and it's really common in communities where people speak more than one language. I'm really glad that Season 2 of Lilyhammer is good--I enjoyed the first season. There's just something comforting about the show, I don't know.

Yeah, we Norwegians pretty much switch from English to Norwegian at the drop of a hat, especially if there's English speakers around. Speaking of speaking Norwegian, Zombie fans should probably check out Død Snø. It's pretty silly as far as zombie movies go, but it's fun, gory and energetic. Also, it's one of the few zombie movies I've seen where the characters seem to have seen zombie movies before, not that it helps them much, mind.

I agree, its just not enough episodes to for me to justify recommending that somebody skip them. Its about 10 episodes between the solving of the murder and the lead-up to the finale. There's enough little bits and individual lines in those 10 episodes that fill out more of the backstory of Cooper and the Lodge to make them worth watching in my opinion, and you still have enough of the core cast doing their thing that to me it still feels like the same show. It wasn't so much that I noticed a tone change, its that a huge piece of the show was gone(the mystery of Laura Palmer's murder) so there is less driving the plot for a while.

Yeah, Kids in the Hall going is pretty unfortunate. The whole series has come down to $50 on Amazon, but it's still one of my favorite Netflix marathons (so much so that I ran it twice!). Hopefully it'll still be there since "expiring" titles was always hit and miss, but that's too bad. But since we're all talking about KITH, is Dave Foley's standup special (which just went up a few days ago) any good?

We just finished all eight seasons of Weeds the other night. Starts out strong but goes off the rails pretty quick. But worth it if you like Orange is the New Black and want to see a lot of the same actors in different roles (same director too). The most accurate thing I've read about Weeds is, "If Breaking Bad had the same writers as Weeds, Walt and Jesse would have wound up cooking meth in a hot air balloon." Started The Riches last night and it sucked us in pretty quick, though we're only two or three episodes in.

I'm really big on stand-up comedy. Bo Burnham's What. is a very good anti-humor/black mixed media performance thing. Been following him for a while and this is the best thing he's done yet. Currently getting through Dave Gorman Stand Up Live. and he's really a great storyteller with a doofy-rear end laugh.

I watched GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling recently and I absolutely loved it! It was a really fun and touching documentary about a women's wrestling league from the eighties that didn't take itself very seriously. I'm not a fan of wrestling, so I wasn't expecting much when I flipped it on, but it won me over with the over-the-top hammy wrestling-persona acting, rapping dance numbers, and an underlying heart of gold that could warm the iciest of hearts. I watched it with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time watching it. Does anyone have any recommendations for other quirky and fun documentaries? I've been on a documentary kick lately and so many of them are pretty depressing that I'd love to lighten the mood a little with something fun.

I've been sick all week out-of-town with pneumonia. Perfect time to catch up on my movie queue. Parker was better than I expected. Not as good as Payback (same character, slightly different plot, unfortunately not available for streaming) but a mildly entertaining action movie. Still not sure why Jennifer Lopez was in it though. Finally got around to watching Slither as well. Didn't know much about it going in, but it had Merle from Walking Dead and Nathan Fillion too. Decent tongue-in-check horror movie.

Bounty Killers was entertaining in a B-movie kinda way. If you want guns, explosions, gore and generous cleavages accompanied by porn level acting in the stupidest possible setting, this is for you. Ip Man on the other hand was very good. I think it's been said before but if you like Kung-fu movies but don't want the usual over-the-top portrayal of martial arts, check this out.

If you want two oddball quasi-documentaries try London in the Raw and Primitive London. They're about nightlife in and around London in the mid 60's. I think this is when the oddball documentary craze was catching on, they're both interesting in their own right.

Oh man speaking of offbeat documentaries, I Like Killing Flies is up on streaming. I haven't seen it in forever when I had to get it through the DVD service, I didn't think they'd ever stream it. It's about cook/philosopher Kenny Shopsin, a small restaurant owner (he used to have this tiny hole in the wall place, I think it's moved and expanded since then) in New York City who cooks this giant, insane menu of crazy comfort food and expounds his theories about life and food while tossing people out for not following his strict regulations.
