MacLachlan really does make it all worthwhile no matter what you think of the rest, though. It's an amazing broad dramatic performance and his character arc is really quite surprising.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Well, that's because of Larry's tutelage, and his history of child abuse. He sees a world full of two kinds of people: the abusers and those that get abused and can't do anything about. He watches his dad beat his mom for years and her just roll over and do nothing because she was afraid. Michael's purpose is to basically murder anyone that hurts others. It's why when he joined the army they gave him a psych test and decided he can become an operative, his morality is perfectly tuned to be willing to do whatever it takes to protect those that can't protect themselves, including killing them. I don't think that he really enjoyed it, though, that's why hey brought Simon in, because he was basically Michael, but he enjoyed violence as recreation. I totally forgot about Simon, drat! I think I just need to just rewatch that season again, because Garret Dillahunt is the man.

Changeling is up on Netflix. It's a drat fine film directed by a young man named Clint Eastwood and starring up-and-comer Angelina Jolie in a noir horror story.

I got really excited for a minute because I thought this was the George C Scott film The Changeling, which is also pretty great. The Changeling is up on Youtube, so if you want to watch a horror movie about changelings you have some options!

On Amazon Prime I watched Coherence last weekend, and what a nice surprise of a movie. There is nothing like let's try this movie I never heard about (I'm sure it's been discussed, but I missed it), and you end up liking it. It's like a 90 minute Twilight Zone episode. Just curious about the ending, did anyone take that the phone call the boyfriend received at the end was from her at the beginning of the movie? Or was it was her other self that she tried to call in the bathroom? I took that it was from her at the start of the movie, because after the drugging from behind and the beating, I'm not sure the other her knew what was going on at all..

Yeah as much as I don't like Mystic River, Changeling is really loving good. It's a really slow burn and looks pretty muted but it really works.

Seconding this recommendation. Try to go in as blind as possible if you can. yeah, I took the second phone call as a sign that there are two of her in this universe/dimension.

Halfway through the new batch of Bojack Horseman. Like the last season it has its share of stumbles but overall it's pretty funny and satisfying and I love the voice cast and the visual style and the stupid animal gags. The show's world already feels really expansive and absorbing and perfectly weird.

Technetium posted:Watched Creep last night. If you like Mark Duplass and want to see him try a different role than his usual it's not bad. The ending in particular is well done. precision posted:I watched Creep knowing absolutely nothing about it. I recommend you all do the same. My guilty pleasure is watching horror movies on Netflix that I know nothing about. Creep was really well done, and definitely deserving of its name. IMDB says this is the first of a trilogy, but I don't see it still being creepy if you know what happens in this movie.

Bojack Horseman season 2 is up. If you haven't done yourself the favor, watch the first 3 or 4 episodes (until the sad cat-lady one) of groaners before it gets heavy, and then decide if it's any good. I'm fuckin' ecstatic that they have a new season.. Because I don't wanna live in a society where the pre-meal bread isn't free. edit: I thought I was tripping then I realized that I had it set to english audio - audio description.. "A penguin jumps off the roof!" "posters, dolls,. and memorabilia of a gren monsters - flashback! todd is tied up and gets punched in the face!" "look! a horse!"

He is in the movie quite a bit, too bad the movie itself is terrible. I loved and still watch the first Joe Dirt, but I never got into this one. Might have to give it another shot when I'm not so tired.

Audio Description is hella interesting, and I'm glad Netflix added it. Both for me to listen to it, and also, you know, for the people who actually need it.

I kind of wish there was a way to download the descriptive audio track off of Netflix so you could just listen to their TV shows like audio books or radio plays.

That movie was wonderful and Mark Duplass is getting into the kind of adventurous acting that makes me like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Gosling so much. He is so drat entertaining. If you're thinking about the movie, please go in blind. It pays off in a big way.

God drat guys, season 2 of Bojack Horseman is so good. Even the dumb offhand jokes and wacky hijinks type stuff is really good this season, they really figured that show out. There's also a really clever layer of stuff going on underneath but I don't wanna say much more since it's fun to spot on your own. What a great show.

Two things you absolutely need to watch right now: Doug Stanhope: Beer Hall Putsch. Holy poo poo Doug Stanhope is the best comedian working. Lost Soul - a documentary on the making of Richard Stanley's The Island of Dr. Moreau.

I've only really known him from The League before, what other stuff has he done that would make you put him with Gyllenhaal/Gosling (if not in quality, but in the more out there roles)? Genuinely wondering because the other two are easily some of my fav actors working, largely because a lot of their stuff is so bizarre. And I'll also throw my recommendation in for Creep, was a cool movie.

She's obviously the person who cared the most about Richard Stanley and the film in general, but also completely loving nuts.  "She got in a car and said drive me to Sydney, across the continent." "I may have done that, I don't remember how I got there."

He has his show on HBO called togetherness and he's also in a really good movie called the one I love that is on Netflix as well. I'm also a fan of him right now. I just think he's a good actor doing good stuff atm. I can't stand the league though.

Like how in the first episode there is a movie director named Goose Van Sant, and you never even see him but you know he's got a goose head. There are scenes that aren't all that funny but it doesn't even matter because of poo poo like a seal in a 50's beehive hairdo waiting tables in the background.

Yup. I'm not saying he is on their level in raw talent, yet, but I lump the three of them together as mainstream actors who are willing to branch out and try really different roles. They're not one-note character guys, they're willing to try really extreme and disturbing roles that, for some reason or other, really stand out to me. Tom Hardy is a bit like that as well, though outside of Locke (which is amazing!) he usually plays varying degrees of "tough guy".

How did they not even mention that Rob Morrow got replaced with David Thewlis? They just mention that Rob Morrow left.... and then leave it at that. And could they not have got Kilmer in there to comment. That dude is like a D-Tier actor these days, I'm sure he would've shown up if they promised coffee and donuts. I love watching Richard Stanley though. He's got the weirdest accent, and everything he says sounds like he was up the previous night rehearsing it in the mirror.

Thewlis didn't even go to the film's premiere, so he may have not wanted to be in the documentary at all. I would assume the same is true for Kilmer, for different reasons. I don't think Kilmer is actually that desperate. Then again, Kilmer was in Twixt just a few years ago and that is the most baffling and terrible movie in a while. (It's also on Netflix, I highly recommend it for unintentional hilarity.)

I saw Safety Not Guaranteed and liked that (didn't realize Duplass was in that as well) and I don't mind The League although he's kinda the most generic dude in there (somewhat reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's "character" in Seinfeld). I'll definitely have to check out The One I Love.
