Netflix is taking on a crazy amount of debt, but they're going to have a lot of original content this year:quote:All told, the company this year expects to launch 320 hours of new and returning original series, as well as films, documentaries and stand-up comedy specials, which is three times the amount of original programming Netflix released in 2014, they said.

When they re-released A New Hope in theaters the first time me and a bunch of friends took a lot of mushrooms and went to see it at midnight sitting in the front row and I came away from it realizing that it's a pitch-perfect film about the 60s. Also I could understand R2-D2.

Anne Whateley posted:To go back to the last topic we spent multiple pages on, how are the seasons of Spartacus after S1 when he dies and the whole thing changes? Still good, or should I just rewatch Rome? Vengence, the first season after Andy died, takes a few episodes to find its footing as does Liam (the new Spartacus actor). The show finds its footing again about halfway through but Liam doesn't really get comfortable in the role until the final season (War of the Damned). It's totally worth it because the final season is bitching and amazing.

Also I could understand R2-D2. You gotta respect that he's a populist by nature and not by design. Like, C-3P0 can't fathom why a robot wants to do something that isn't explicitly hardwired into its programming. The fact that he has no discernible human attributes is important. R2-D2 is more human, not by design, but by nature. When characters communicate with R2-D2, they do so out of respect, whilst the superficially more human-looking C-3P0 is spoken to as one who is respected for his service, "Artoo" is spoken to as one who is respected for his principles.

I mean for example they start that side story about the little girl and the bush baby and just never explore the idea. Such wasted potential.

I finished The Fall season 2 last night and I'm conflicted. It was a perfect finale to the Spector story, but then the last 20 minutes happened and set up some kind of... something about him being part of a hypothetical third season. He confessed to multiple murders so there's no way he gets to bullshit get away and be the villain again. The best I can come up with is that he becomes the Hannibal Lector to Gillian's Clarisse, probably trying to stop Kate or something, but I just, I don't know, ugh. I really would like a third season to ditch Spector completely, much like how Homeland should have ditched a certain character long before it did.

I'll bet a majority of young people alive right now haven't watched a lot of great films from before they were born; what's your point? My wife and I are both in our mid 30's; I grew up watching Jaws, and she saw it for the first time a few years ago when I made her watch it as soon as I found out that she never had (she loved it,btw). A majority of people simply aren't film buffs/geeks/nerds who make an effort to watch great films of the past.

I think it's fair to say that most films won't be remembered 90 years after they come out, and that will probably have very little to do with their overall quality.

Re-Animator is back! Jeffrey Combs's fantastic performance as the obsessed / demented Herbert West and more gore than you can shake a stick at. Wish they'd get Bride of Re-Animator on so we could have a double feature.
