LORD OF BUTT posted:I would totally put Banshee forth as better than True Detective, but it's kinda splitting hairs because it's not THAT much better and they scratch very very different itches. I am on episode 6 season 2 of Banshee, and I love it. That said why would you even mention it with True Detective? They are completely different shows, doing completely different things. I've been recommending Banshee to all my friends that think SoA was good show. Banshee is pure pulpy fun with real violence and sex, unlike SoA. Only other show I can think of that does pulpy fun that good is Spartacus or maybe True Blood in it's prime (what an awful show did that become). LloydDobler posted:You should watch the Shield. It's streaming free on amazon prime if you have it. I do, and put it on my list. About time I did.

Yeah, it's all pretty fifty shades of hosed up. You especially gotta love/seriously contemplate when Dada's brother (not his 'brother,' his literal brother, I don't even know if that was necessary) is saying, “This is what’s been goin’ on for centuries. The Romans started it with the coliseum and the gladiators. And it continues today, here in West Perrine.” The irony is palpable. The vast majority of gladiators were vilified and hated slaves. Only a few were distinguished by the honor of being "volunteers," and they mostly acquired this distinction by callously murdering these undesirables. Like, the Boxing commissioner is constantly saying straight up that these fights are dangerous and illegal and that he has nothing to do with them, but these illegal rings are actually totally how these new athletes are 'discovered.'

Only a few were distinguished by the honor of being "volunteers," and they mostly acquired this distinction by callously murdering these undesirables. The parallels to gladiator fights also extend to the heavy implication that these are poor people being violently pitted against one another to distract the lower class from their misery, and that it's a desperate means for disenfranchised people to earn their freedom. With regards to the first part of that: "I'm against violence. I have to say that, because I'm involved with United Homes for Children. BUT" sums up a lot of the movie.

Watched a movie called animal which is basically a generic bunch of friends get lost in the woods then find a house horror movie. It's not good and the acting is dire but the creature effects are okay and it gave me a Dog Soldier werewolf vibe. It really loses track during the last 10 minutes and there's a hilarious scene where it turns out there car is parked about 2 minutes away from the house. The least interesting and worst acted character is also the only surivvor. I reckon it's just because they wanted her running about with cleavage out but it was a bizzare choice, and if it was meant to be a twist it sucked.

I've been excited for Beyond Clueless since it was hitting the festival circuit last year because I love me some teen high school movies. It's a little disappointing after the wait, but still worth watching. As a documentary it doesn't have much of a thesis and basically recounts the themes and plots of the genre. It's pretty much a wikipedia article with clips. I wish they cited the title of every movie they show because it really makes me want to watch Can't Hardly Wait and American Pie and Clueless and everything they show.

It's more chilling than pretty much every actual horror film from last year. Interested to see what they do with Orange is the New Black. I loved the first season, but thought the second season didn't really have a point in that everything involving Piper seemed really aimless, and her character progression seemed to stall/go backwards (although that could be due to running past the source material). At this point I think ditching her and having the show focus on everyone else would be better, but that's unlikely to happen. Although Homeland finally dumped Brody so I guess it's not out of the question. drunken officeparty posted:Any recommendations for gangster/mafia movies on Netflix?

The Time Dissolver posted:Whenever people say, "The thing you have to remember is (work of genre fiction) is kind of, like, about (genre) itself" it's like, yes, genre works generally are created by people with knowledge of genre conventions and thus will reflect them somehow, so what? Radiolab podcast had an interesting bit about how Don Quixote was apparently the first novel to break the fourth wall and to acknowledge itself as fiction, and how hack writers started ripping on Cervantes' characters and so he wrote a sequel where his character confronts the ripoff artists. It was pretty interesting.

alansmithee posted:Either way it's pretty much a much-watch imo. Absolutely. I was so bummed I didn't get to catch it at least a second time in the theater/bring all my friends who didn't have it on their radar. I'd especially recommend it to anyone who loved Drive, though Nightcrawler is a more action heavy and thrilling, so I'd also recommend to anyone who thought that movie was boring. Yeah ... pretty much everyone should watch Nightcrawler. For me personally it was exactly the tense, focused, seedy-but-slickly-gorgeous night-time L.A. flick I'd been craving since seeing Drive.

Stake Land is a predictable but entertaining survival flick up on Netflix, told from the viewpoint of one survivor who is rescued by an unknown badass named simply 'Mister.' He kind of looks like Remo Williams with a goatee. This time its a 'vamp' plague but it has some interesting twists, such as a religious coven using the vamps literally as weapons. Kelly McGillis is in this but she's amazingly unrecognizable, didn't know it was her until the end credits. Pacing reminds me of Z-Nation but obviously more compact.

Walter Day is so weird I'm pretty sure he's related to Charlie Day. Toad Road hits hard if you've ever been part of a friend group like that, the scene where they're jamming in the punk house is utterly true to life.
