Anyone who says Flight of the Conchords is bad and praises Garfunkel and Oates is dumb.

Flight of the Conchords first 2 or 3 seasons were great, but I seem to remember it went downhill hard at some point. First season is amazing though. e: apparently it only had 2 seasons, weird. Could have sworn it had more.

Broad City is also on Amazon Prime. I feel like that show is the east coast version of Workaholics, people in their mid to late 20s just existing in these mundane lives. I can relate, in more ways than I want to admit.

Can I get some TV show recs? Sitcoms okay. I've been sick for a couple of months and I ran out of dumb stuff to watch while I work. I've seen: Always Sunny New Girl (didn't like it) The League Californication GoT Elementary Grimm

Flight of the Conchords season 1 was significantly better than season 2 because it was essentially a "best of" their BBC Radio show that they'd had years to refine. Season 2 took a huge dive because they were rushed to write new episodes and new music, and they quickly became overwhelmed. I listened to an interview with Jemaine a while back and even they didn't want to keep going. He said his agent called when hbo wanted to do season 3 and they asked the agent bit to even tell them how much money was being offered so they wouldn't have any temptation.

Now if only Night Court was available streaming somewhere. MASH is on Netflix, and it's also brilliant.

For background watching I'd try Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. Peepshow and That Mitch and Webb Look are also excellent, but you do have to pay attention to them. Are you using your computer or tv? If your computer then we can recommend a bunch of stuff on foreign netflix blah blah.

GORDON posted:I quit in the middle of the second episode. Couldn't stand any of them. The first season is a bit of an outlier and I almost gave up on it too. It's too grounded in reality so it comes off as making fun of poor uneducated people for being poor and uneducated. The second season is vastly superior and further seasons quickly lose any similarity to reality.

Trailer park boys is pretty disgusting and I can see why someone would hate it. Personally I watched it at a point in my life where I lived pretty much the same lifestyle as those dudes, and watching it helped me self examine and discontinue some pretty self destructive behavior

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:You have to admit that the first season seems more grim than everything subsequent. i'm not sure i agree. subsequent seasons may get wackier, but the material about Lahey's alcoholism gets WAY more grim. people always say it doesn't get good until season two which is weird because i still think the first season is the best.

It's like Always Sunny (or ATHF) in that way. As the show gets wackier, it gets a hell of a lot more messed up, but the overall somber tone of the earlier stuff makes you take it more seriously.

Yaws posted:Tusk was made for $5 million and still didn't make money. Smith is still getting work somehow. IMDB estimates a $2.8MM budget, with a Gross of $1.8MM, which is even funnier. It's really funny if you've read his autobiography. His conclusion based on his career is 'gently caress everyone in hollywood, I'll do it myself because I now have a fanbase that supports me as an artist and will buy pretty much any bullshit I put out.'

Just watched Zak Penn's Atari: Game Over documentary which is all about the E.T. Game cartridge (Well other stuff too, but the cartridge is a major part) including the search and excavation of the landfill. It was pretty interesting.

Anyone know if any netflix regions have the raid? The sequel is on netflix here in australia, and I've checked the british, american and canadian netflixes using a VPN and none of them have it. I would like to watch it. I've been a martial arts movie fan since childhood and I'm somehow still not seen these movies.

If you like B-Movies and the title Wolfcop sounds fun, you'll probably enjoy it. It's not a great movie, but it's fun, the physical effects are good, and the second act was funny. Just get past the terrible credits and let it get some traction. At 78 minutes, it didn't overstay it's welcome.

A MIRACLE posted:WHowever recommended Babadook can gently caress right off. The Babadook is absolutely everything I want in a horror movie. That said, it's a slow-burn film with more existential dread than spilled entrails, and that's not the kind of thing that gets universal traction among horror fans. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it'll go over big with the House of the Devil set.

A MIRACLE posted:WHowever recommended Babadook can gently caress right off. I can see someone getting really annoyed at the screaming child and internalizing the existential dread a parent would feel for their child in distress. Personally the thing that pissed me off about the film was the goddamn stock Pterodactyl sound at the film's climax, but it's great horror. The imagery is affecting and unique, the acting was phenomenal and emotionally at certain points it made me want to drive out to a cave in the woods, curl up in a ball on the floor, close the entrance with a giant boulder, and stick my fingers in my ears.

Like I said that's an acceptable reason to not enjoy the film, but thematically it's one of the most important aspects of why it works. E: Watched the first Garfunkel and Oates episode and it's a Garfunkel and Oates version of Flight of the Concords. It's absolutely fine as its, but does it transcend this and become something more at some point? Also, why is Rob Huebel a puppet? Are there other puppet characters or is this explained at some point? Does this make any sense by the end of Season 1? Is there an Avenue Q thing or something?

The really scary thing about The Babadook is how it very slowly walks you up to this place where you know what's happening is wrong but you sympathize so deeply with the main character that you understand how she got there.

I don't know why, but I did. There's a handful of laughs peppered throughout, but the reveal of how they pull off the final trick is hilarious. I'd honestly just skip to the ending and watch it from when Alan Arkin appears out of a television, just for the last scene.
