So I have a weakness for terrible found footage movies on Netflix/Amazon Prime. We've watched VHS 1 & 2, Grave Encounters, and a smattering of other stuff I can't remember the names of but I want more. I seem to remember there being on involving dinosaurs but I can't remember it's name.

Obviously the cheesier the better.

Have you seen Troll Hunter yet? I'm not positive it's still on netflix though.

I'm not saying he's a hack. I'm saying he has bad movies just like any other director. Either you're defensive because you love Tarantino, or you think people are done worshiping him because you stopped interacting with teenagers and college students.

edit: I will say I did enjoy part 1, and what I saw of part 2. My fiancee refuses to sit through the apparently hour-long dialogue at the end of part 2, so I never saw that part.

I really liked Re-Animator, it's an H.P. Lovecraft story reimagined as an 80s college movie. The guy who plays Herbert West loving nails it.

Re-Animator and Evil Dead 2 make a Hell of a double feature. I don't know if Evil Dead 2 is still streaming, though.

Dusk Till Dawn...that's that movie about a young George Clooney having a crazy party at a bar in the middle of nowhere, right? There's a twist in that?

So Hulu Plus has a metric shitton of Adult Swim/Cartoon Network shows on it now. So if you're like me and are several seasons of Adventure Time and Venture Bros behind since you haven't had regular cable in forever you can catch up on them now.

They also have some of the deeper cuts like Moral Orel and Superjail and Samurai Jack. I'm not sure that either SJ has been available for streaming anywhere before, so that's pretty loving awesome to me.

I watched the Babadook and thought it was pretty ok. I thought the pacing was slow, but when it started ratcheting up it got great.

I also nearly became single today after calling my girlfriend from a number she doesn't know creeping her with "baaaaabbaaaaaadddooooooooooook".

So it turns out "Pain and Gain" is funny and good. I'm not sure if it's still on Netflix (and I can't log in to check at the moment since I'm at work), but if it is I definitely recommend it. I had assumed it was just some standard Michael Bay crap, but someone told me it was actually a comedy so I gave it a shot and really enjoyed it. I think it might be on Amazon Prime as well, so give it a shot if you have a couple of hours to kill and want some laughs.

Watched Babadook and while I don't think its exactly a classic, it's different and mildly disturbing enough to stick with you for a while.

I've been walking around the house calling the dog babadook for no good reason, and now my kids are wanting to know what it is. (8 & 12). Wonder if it'd freak them out.

I was freaked out by Jurassic Park when I was that age, so you are looking at some pretty extensive therapy bills if you do it. Totally worth it though.

I'm a couple weeks late, but the dinosaur one is Area 407, it's one of my favorites. I also have a thing for found footage movies, but unfortunately I've seen pretty much every one they have on netflix 3+ times each. If anyone knows of some that are on other regions but not on US netflix let me know, I'd appreciate it. I'd probably put my top 5 (in no particular order) as Grave Encounters (I even like 2 sometimes), Area 407, Trollhunter, Afflicted (although the beginning is pretty obnoxious), and Apollo 18. I think most or all of those are still on netflix.

The thing I don't get about Babadook is the critics rating - it was at 98% positive on rottentomatoes last I checked. I liked it, but not THAT much. I thought it peaked at the popup book part and then went a bit downhill from there.

I asked my wife about it and she said, very sincerely, "Please, don't". I asked if the movie had gotten to her and she said that it had, kind of, and she didn't even know exactly why. I guess that's the mark of a good scary movie.

Jurassic Park though?

verb the adjective noun

I really like the BBC nature docs Earth: The Power of the Planet and How to Grow a Planet, both narrated by Iain Stewart. I've always loved the David Attenborough documentaries, but these are some nice ones that don't really revolve around animals. They're just solid series about the evolution of the planet via various planetary forces and plant life.

Also, I couldn't sleep right for a year after seeing Earnest Scared Stupid.
