I've been binging on Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. It's surprisingly hilarious and it's a real shame it never found an audience. Plus Krysten Ritter

Twitch posted:I'm a little more than halfway into the first season of Hannibal, and it's definitely worth watching, it starts pretty strong and gets really good when the overarching plotlines start to come together. Holy poo poo I didn't realize that was him. He's so clean and proper in his nice suits and fancy house in Hannibal. Though he is still chopping people up... I haven't watched it yet, but he's also in some movie about a guy being accused of being a pedo that just came out on netflix.

I love Hannibal, but I cannot bring myself to watch The Hunt. What the hell would you do if some kid falsely accused you of being a pedophile? Your word against some kid? Plus its hard to watch anything about that subject anyway. Valhalla Rising was great though.

Refn-fest 2014: I watched Bronson last night and it was pretty good. Tom Hardy does a great job and Refn doesn't let it get super weird like Only God Forgives.

I didn't watch it when it premiered because I didn't think a show called "Don't Trust the Bitch" would be any good but now I regret it. It's actually pretty great. But I can't get too into Krysten Ritter's performance because I know her mostly from Breaking Bad. Jane.

In some scenes they speak another language (Thai?) and there are no subtitles, something I've never seen in a film.

Oldstench posted:What the poo poo is this? Yeah, it's a really terrible way to describe it. Family Guy is a terrible show and Airplane! is a great movie. e: Oh look, there was another page. The 1973 Jesus Christ Superstar got added a bit back and it's weird as hell. It's hardly the best musical movie ever, but I feel like it's a pretty pure distillation of some of the weird stuff going on with early-70s Broadway. The underlying musical is pretty solid for the most part (it's Andrew Lloyd Weber if that makes up your mind either way for you) and it's worth a watch if you're inclined to musicals. The Borgias: worth watching or no? Cockblocktopus has a new favorite as of 05:42 on Feb 6, 2014 |

casual poster posted:I wouldn't watch this movie unless you're familiar with the director. It's a very strange movie where I could see many people being turned off from it in the way that storyline is filmed. Watch the directors other stuff first: Drive, Valhalla Rising, and Pusher. If you really liked them, check out Only God Forgives. But it's so good.

So, The Act of Killing is on Netflix now. Former Indonesian death squad leaders reenact their crimes on camera. It's a documentary.

It's such a weird movie that I wasn't really sure what to feel at the end, and the main character (the asian guy, not Ryan Gosling) isn't adequately developed at all.

A Company Man is a pretty good Korean action film in the vein of The Man from Nowhere. The standard "quiet but deadly hitman with a heart of gold" character, but the action was decent and I liked the fact that he basically works for a corporation made of hitmen, including a company retreat when he gets promoted. All the ennui of cubical life but with bullets.

In the other Netflix thread a few of us talked about this, if you have subtitles on they don't always work for some reason. I watched it with them turned off and it all worked for me.

I watched Valhalla Rising on this threads recommendation, and maybe I just didn't get it but I really didn't enjoy it. I really enjoyed Drive however, so I'm going to watch Only God Forgives and see how that is. I watched Pandorum on UK Netflix the other day, a film I hadn't heard of before. I was surprised at how much I liked it. I think it was the similarity to Sunshine, which is one of my favourite films, that did it for me.

Drive is the best film by that Director, easily. That's only my opinion though.

Bubba Ho-Tep was added to Netflix not too long ago, and it's pretty good. It's a about an aging Elvis and a now African-American John F. Kennedy fighting a mummy that feasts on souls in the retirement home they both live. For me, at least, this movie hits a rare sweet spot between funny and poignant, and with Don Coscarelli at the helm, you know the "low budget monster weirdness"-credentials are in place. Oh, and Bruce Campbell is in it, if that's your thing.

QuickbreathFinisher posted:Anyone seen Love? It keeps coming up all over my categories and the poster and description are making me hope for another Moon. I liked it but I enjoy slow paced, introspective sci fi movies. It was made on a shoestring budget but looks fairly decent. It sort of goes off the rails but if you just can go with it, it can be satisfying. Not everyone's cup of tea, definitely.

I always describe this movie to my friends as "a quiet meditation on old age, society's treatment of the elderly, and the inevitability of death. Oh yeah, and an elderly Elvis Presley fights a foulmouthed cowboy mummy." I love this movie.

Totally agree, not much development at all. The strongest thing about that movie was the like Drive, it just looked really really cool. Lots of beautiful stills can be extracted from that movie.

What the hell would you do if some kid falsely accused you of being a pedophile? Your word against some kid? Plus its hard to watch anything about that subject anyway.

I liked the Hunt because of how enraged and sad I felt about the injustice of the whole ordeal. The movie definitely manipulates the audience with some of the events that happen the dog =(. I enjoy a movie that gets me to feel that strongly about anything. That being said I recommend In Brudges, a wonderful movie about a hit gone wrong.

I just started watching Don't Trust the B**** at the suggestion of this thread, so this post is extra funny. DTTB is really great, and like everyone else, I feel bad for not watching it while it was on. Especially since I love modern James Van Der Beek, although I've loved him since Rules of Attraction, so.

Whispering Machines posted:Season 1, and Season 4 because John Lithgow, then stop watching As someone who hasn't seen past the first half of Season 3, I'd still recommend Season 2. It's not *great*, but it has its moments and you can totally see how the show is going to start getting horrible at any second. Then read the spoilers for the last episode and laugh.

I'm with you here. 1 & 4 of Dexter are the stars, and they're the seasons that are closest to the hype the show used to have. 2 & 3? Not as much; but they're not complete shite. Dexter is still growing as a character in them - Deb too. Just... stop after 4.
