I actually enjoyed Thor quite a bit but it's pretty hilarious how much Natalie Portman phoned her performance in. She's loving awful in that movie.

Well in movies that don't suck news (at least in my opinion) I watched The Life Aquatic, which I've never seen, and I quite liked it. People seem to get on Wes' rear end for having that 'quirky' style and having very strong stylistic traits, but I dunno there's something about his stuff that makes me really appreciate that he exists, because apart from his imitators, there's nobody else quite like Wes Anderson. In fact, all my favourite directors tend to have really strong stylistic properties. I just like unique stuff.

Thor has Dutch angles out the wazoo which, alone, would be enough to make it weirdly funny.

All the For a Few Dollars More talk in here got me to rewatch it tonight and I think I'm always going to go back and forth between it, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West for my favorite western. It owns really drat hard.

I know I'm late to the party because the movie is a few years old now, but I just watched Tucker & Dale vs. Evil and was thoroughly entertained. Very clever and funny in my opinion. “Oh my god, they cut off his bowling fingers!”

Even if one were to use a VPN one would still need to know which country's Netflix has that movie. Otherwise, we would have to dig through a dozen different Netflix countries just to find the drat movie.

Wasn't trying to be a dick, just saying like for gently caress's sake just do it, it's awesome. I'm imploring people to do it because it rules so fuckin hard. I don't even live in a country with Netflix. It's not difficult to find stuff. I typically just check US/canada/UK. Like for Life Aquatic I just searched Wes Anderson then changed the region and refreshed to find stuff. Takes a couple seconds. Speaking of using netflix on consoles, I'd love to have a reliable way to unblock netflix on my PS4. I typically watch netflix stuff in my room but I have a real nice TV in my loungeroom so it'd be awesome to use that. Unfortunately I haven't found a method that works. Also it's weirdly American centric to assume because it's not on the US' netflix that it must not be on there at all.

If I was a younger guy and a bachelor again I'd probably agree with you, because a lot of times it was just me watching stuff by myself and the process of getting things working was kind of fun; these days I'd rather just stream to my television through an all in one device and since seeing ALL THE MOVIES isn't that important to me I don't really give a second thought to what's playing in the UK. It's not nationalism; it's feeling like the rigmarole isn't worth what you get out of going through it.

Also: If you can find basically any movie across the various countries, it kind of defeats the purpose of a Netflix thread. Talk about what you want, but it's getting confusing.

A forum predominantly of Americans talking about a streaming service started in America being more American centric. What a weird mystery! Edit to be less of a dick: A lot of people were using Hola Unblocker or whatever it's called earlier in the thread and then there were reports about security issues. Don't know how those resolved themselves but I stopped using it at that point. Also a lot of people don't want to spend the money on a service to mask where they are so that they can use non-American Netflix. Nothing about this is really that confusing I don't think.

This isn't a rebuttal but I thought some of y'all would like to know that if you search for a movie on this site, not only will it tell you if it's on netflix but on what region as well: http://www.moreflicks.com/ No need to constantly hop regions.

I thought she was amazing in Hesher (not on streaming but see it anyway), and she was pretty convincing in The Other Woman (streaming), although Lisa Kudrow as the bitchy ex was even moreso. Holy poo poo I wanted to strangle her.

I have yet to see REC 3, but I hear that it's a different beast entirely, more exploitation flick than horror film.

And you'd think that part about probably being on Netflix should be true, but there are movies listed all the time on here that aren't on any version of Netflix which is pretty annoying.

For what it's worth: I've never read any comic books, and I've mostly been enjoying the Marvel films. I didn't really care for the first Captain America, or Iron Man 2, but I'm super excited to see Captain America 2. And Thor has Idris Elba, so it is automatically great. RuPaul's Drag Race is probably the best reality competition show out there today, and the most tongue in cheek, and it seems to be just on every country's Netflix except for the US, AND I watch it on my PS3. You don't need to use a computer at all to do so. Nihonniboku fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Apr 10, 2014 |

I did a "UFO" search marathon on Netflix. UFOis a reenactment that is a dry watch. Half stock footage half stock effort reenactments. This came out in theaters in the 50s. Whoever wrote the script was so bored they hid a joke when the U.S.Air UFO specialist "Albert Chop" called his wife on the phone to ask about his son "Chip". I would say pass. UFO Conspiracy "...I felt like death was at hand..."-some hick. This low budget tv special on ufos and the flimsy "told ya so" evidence makes me feel like a kid again in the late 80s warming up with coco and a nice blanket to watch some TV bullshit because I loved UFO mystery. If you love schlock and fake footage reenactments of "grays" at least give it a minute from the 14 min mark. The other two UFO films they have are just horrid SyFy quality crap where ufo conspirators have better hair then evidence. I don't want to derail this thread into are UFOs real but man there is enough pseudo documentarys on them they are a growing genre. I'm not one to promote the meme of Chuck Norris but I you liked Death Wish 3, his movie "the Octagon" is on NF and its pretty much suburb ninja freakout.

Thor was one of the most entertaining movies I saw in the theater that year. It wasn't some world changing piece of cinema, but the earth scenes were fantastically entertaining. I do have a soft spot for fish out of water scenarios. I don't know why I find them to be so hilarious. Are there any good, funny ones on netflix currently?

To those of you enjoying Running Man, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the original Deathrace 2000. Similar setting of gladiatorial tomfoolery in a dystopian near-future with David Carradine facing off against Sly Stallone. Plus a transcontinental road race with points awarded for vehicular manslaughter, exploding babies, the French Airforce, and relaxed dresscode massage interludes because

The best part about David Carradine's character in Death Race 2000 is not really much of a spoiler, but he's supposed to be this disfigured monster, "Frankenstein", but then he takes off his monster mask and he's supposed to be some sort of handsome man. Except it's loving David Carradine.
