I could have sworn I saw someone mention in another thread that there's a slightly altered version of episodes that has some redone design and animation. Not that that really will have that much affect on story, but I found some examples of the difference in design from the TV to BD release of the series. I found it sort of interesting that I guess the show must be popular enough to justify going through the trouble. Not sure what version Netflix, Hulu, etc. are showing though or how much those differences ultimately make to the show when watching it.

For some reason my roommate decided to throw on the 30 for 30 about Tonya Harding. I was 10 when everything occurred so I know who the people involved were but I never knew any of the background. Watching a teenaged girl tell her mother she placed 6th in the country and get told she didn't do good enough was heartbreaking. The woman was going to the Olympics and training at a mall skating rink. And then once everything happened she was hounded by the press to the point that they would hire a tow truck to move her car to get her outside for a photo and to shove a mic in her face. I can't imagine how horrible that must have been. But then again she probably did tell her husband that something bad should happen to Nancy Karrigan. I kinda almost fainted from rolling my eyes too hard when Nancy Karrigan's friend implied she didn't win gold because of 'politics', however.

I can't imagine how horrible that must have been. The first half makes you feel sorry for Harding but by the end she just comes across as a huge liar like everyone thought she was. I was believing her up until they talked about the note found in the garbage. Tonya said "they analyzed the handwriting and it didn't match" <cut to DA> "The handwriting was shown to match hers." And then everything after that point just made her look worse and worse. It made the media look pretty bad as well. And actually they didn't show much to humanize Karrigan either so she came across with a holier-than-thou attitude. I wish they had gotten her to do an interview. The film didn't really change my opinions like I thought it might, but it's a really good 30 for 30. I didn't remember much about the case apart from everybody hating Harding so I never thought there was any doubt that she was responsible. It was pretty interesting to learn the specifics.

If you have Amazon Prime and you're not against watching a series, you owe it to yourself to watch Hannibal. It's honestly some of the best tv I've ever seen. I came in as a skeptical fan of the books and have been totally blown away by it.

Okay, so I'm curious about the original for The Bridge, but worried that I'll spoil S2 of the US one, which I'm definitely enjoying. How close are the two?

But looking at it now, no, they were just teenage girls. Edit: Nevermind. They were 24 and 25. Nihonniboku fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Feb 17, 2014 |

Harding had a hosed up family life. Jesus. I want to believe she was completely innocent, but if she's not, while I can't condone what she did its easier to see how she'd snap and do something like that. It was really funny when they talked about how she wasn't the right kind of skater, and Kerrigan was. Meaning, graceful/pretty. Things were a lot different back then in terms of styling/fashion/makeup. None of them look pretty compared to today's style. Back then, and today, I'm pretty sure that while most people thought Harding was trashy looking, no one really thought Kerrigan was pretty. She looked like a god drat horse.

If you're on episode 18 already and still enjoying it then more power to you but the show does fall into a pattern of 1 good episode where they have an okay budget to animate titans and then 3-4 episodes around it which are basically monlogues/flashbacks and time fillers, and very little happens. I'd say the last 7-8 episodes could of been covered in 3 tops and probably 2. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Feb 18, 2014 |

This is Hulu not Netflix, but in case anyone's tempted by the "insightful" and "engaging" pull quotes about Behind the Mask plastered everywhere, don't bother. They were advertising it like a prestige documentary series like you might expect from Netflix, but it's boilerplate reality TV with events drawn out to 5 minutes by repeating everything before/after breaks, b-roll establishing shots with stock music before each segment, etc. I was getting new ads today that were more honest about the tone, at least.

Ballistic Anomaly posted:I saw this and had to post it in this thread since it's so true. I'm convinced that the reason they don't allow you to browse their selection or add stuff to your queue if you're not currently subscribed is because it's 90% of what people do with Netflix. If they let you do that for free, most of their userbase wouldn't even bother subscribing. My usual process for Netflix is that most of the time I'm not subscribed, but if I hear of even a single movie that I actually want to see I'll subscribe just for that movie. Then I'll get the fringe benefits of access to shows I may or may not watch and one or two documentaries that look interesting. I'll watch three or four things, a handful of TV shows and then unsub after a month. But then that's not really an indictment against Netflix. They have a ton of really good movies, the problem is that I've seen hundreds of movies so chances are if there's something good on there I'll have already seen it.

I have to really want to watch something in order to watch it. There are plenty of movies I've seen more than once, or are "any time movies" that I can put on no matter what mood I'm in. I'm not always in the mood to watch whatever Netflix is offering, whether or not I've already seen it. Human Tornada posted:Why would they allow non-users the ability to make a queue? A queue of what? Movies you can't watch? Would you go into a restaurant and fake-order off the menu and look at and smell all the other tables' food just for fun? I was pretty much joking, but Instantwatcher aside there's also no way to know what Netflix is offering unless you're already a paid subscriber. And you'd add stuff to your queue for the same reason you'd do if you had paid, so that you could (not) watch it later. For me it's more of an interface thing. I'm logged into their website, it's my account, so why can't I use all of the features outside of actually watching the paid content? What if I wanted to look at my queue to see what I still haven't seen yet, and what's still available to stream? What if I want to clean a bunch of stuff out that I'll never watch, or if I want to add some stuff in for the next time I feel like subscribing?

I am watching "The Story of Film: An Odyssey" and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. The narrator's voice and delivery are a bit boring, but the narrative he draws through the history of cinema is compelling. It definitely skips over a great deal of important works and genres. For example it spends half an hour talking about gangster flicks in the 30s but completely ignores westerns. I'm looking forward to watching the rest, it's good right before bed material.
