An Honest Liar is on Netflix and is a pretty great biography of one of the most prominent debunkers of scum of the last century: James Randi. Edit: more info: James Randi was an magician and escape artist that styled himself very much after Houdini. After giving up escape artistry, he started exposing fraudulent psychics and faith healers - most famously Peter Popoff. The documentary goes into detail about his more famous escapades and has some pretty interesting stuff about his partner.

^^^ Bullcrap, his most famous debunking was the Monster Cable vs Coat Hanger test.

I just spree-watched through season 1 again to start on season 2, and the season finale shocked me because I forgot just how melancholy it was. Yeah, you get everything you want.. And it's hollow. And you don't know what to do. I hope to see a lot more Vincent Adultman though, the teaser of his office at the business-factory in season 2 first episode was shocking and pretty sly - you could have blinked and missed it.

I watched the first two episodes of Bojack and it didn't really catch me. Parts made me laugh, but I don't feel compelled to watch the rest of it. Is it a show that you need to watch all of for it to click? Or is it just not my speed? Should I give it a few more episodes before I throw in the towel?

It shifts from a corny cartoon with ok jokes to a great show with tons of emotion and good humor. Keep going.

I'm generally opposed to telling people that don't like a show to "keep watching"; but, keep watching. Even if the show doesn't hit you right, it gets props for really being distinctive compared to other adult-ish cartoons from the past 10-15 years. The show keeps impressing me, and season 2 is even better. Also, I think I just figured out that Road House and Tombstone are both the same, exact movie but in alternate universes, with a nexus at Sam Elliott.

coyo7e posted:I'm not sure if season two was closure or opening for another season,compared to the finale of season 1 season 2 finale was totally different. It isn't a downer as much as an empathic roller coaster. Yeah, season 2 definitely feels like a thematic setup for a third season. It fits into nice narrative arcs, S1 being Bojack having everything society says is success, S2 having everything he thought he wanted and finding it equally empty and harmful, S3 would be self-actualization and the consequences of trying for an existentially meaningful life in a city built on vapidity. I do hope they go for a third season because in doing all the setup they lost a lot of narrative momentum, especially with the increased focus on supporting characters as people rather than reflections of Bojack.

If you like documentaries about cinematic trainwrecks, along the lines of "Jodorowsky's Dune" and "Lost in La Mancha", don't miss Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. It's a delightful depiction of a legendary clusterfuck.

I highly recommend the operatic killer robot nightmare fever dream that is Hardware

For anybody who enjoyed Best Worst Movie, the doc about the making of "Troll 2", I'd recommend Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Doctor Moreau, which recently popped up on Netflix. The first third of the film is somewhat slow, but it definitely picks up--especially once they get into the bizarre behaviors of the lead actors (particularly Brando, his constant hijacking of the script, and his plot to turn the world's smallest man into a mini-me that was present in every scene) and the ever-growing troupe of extras.

Nope, Dan Stevens http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1405398/?ref_=tt_cl_t1 is not Chris Evans http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262635/ There's at least a resemblance this time, but sometimes I wonder if you guys used to run up and call anyone with vaguely the same hair color "Dad" when you were little.

I might have to watch it again but I would think that's only the writing and a few both literal and figurative nods. He played the character a little creepy/wrong from "the all American soldier" even in his very first scene. The only reason he's welcomed into the home is the void their loss has left them.

The Barber was pretty good. I fuckin' looove Lance Henrikson (who I hadn't realized was a major role in it,) and I kept getting it mixed up with that Adam Sandler movie about him being a magical jew who shines shoes or some crap - I guess Sandler was jealous of Bagger Vance? Fun movie, couple twists I didn't expect, satisfying ending. I wanted it to go differently but it was almost as satisfying as what I'd built up in my head halfway through. On Netflix US right now.

Ryoshi posted:There's a show? The games are a guilty pleasure but only because they scratch a murder mystery itch I didn't realize I had. Yep. It's the first game animated. It's broken up into a few arcs over 12 episodes or so. It feels really rushed, everything happens fast. You lose a lot of what made the game interesting in the process. However, if you've played the game it's not a bad time. I love Monokuma's voice.

If you've got 2 hours to spare and don't mind subtitles, Admiral: Roaring Currents was much better of a movie than I expected. Think of it like the korean naval version of 300. If you liked Red Cliff you might enjoy this too.

While I know this is the Streaming Content thread, that movie is just too drat good to watch an abridged version which is the only version available on Netflix, Amazon Prime and iTunes. How ever the BD is only $14 (DVD is $12).
