I feel like I could have gotten into it more but the romance felt really poorly developed and rushed to me. Sleeveless posted:The 10 minutes of actual humor based around the impending apocalypse were pretty good, shame the other 90 minutes are dedicated to a generic MPDG romance. Yeah this pretty much sums it up for me. I like how these movies always fetishize this type of girl, while making GBS threads all over the male equivalent. "look how insufferable these hipster guys are, but oh man it's so intriguing when it's a girl. She's so quirky! Look she's walking around with some vinyl and wearing a military jacket! so mysterious. "

We're two days until the start of September, and I still can't find a list of what's being added and removed from Netflix next month. Usually I can just do a simple google search each month to find out, but that's not working for me this time. Anyone have a reliable site/list for September?

Watch Penguins of Madagascar, solid entertainment with a simple story and good voice acting. Spot all the octopuses names for a bingo card. Do not watch Wild Canaries, unstructured masturbatory tale of a young couple in NY trying to resist friends hitting on them. There is supposedly a mysterious death thrown in for good measure, but the whole thing is so dumb they have two characters literary explain at the audience instead of third act. *Both available on canadian netflix, other access may differ.

White God is really good, but if you're going into it expecting Conquest of the Planet of the Apes with dogs, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's a fairy tale like Babe. Except instead of pigs, it's dogs.

Junkie Disease posted:I tossed in the towel when a couple of kids adopted a A.I. fairy as their child. You know what? It gets worse. I watched first season as someone I trust recommended it, so I stuck it out. About two thirds of the way through it goes from relatively benign on the Japanese weirdness scale to watch list material. The adoption was still in the benign part.

Someone here mentioned "Cutthroat kitchen" on netflix. So I watched it. Its a reality show I that doesn't annoy the poo poo out of me. Theres no drawn out drama about some contestants dad dying of cancer. Theres no crying. The judges don't make the show all about them. The host doesn't want to make me kill myself. Its a short, to the point, reality show about cooking with a pretty nifty twist. The bidding strategy is actually interesting. I don't even like cooking shows.

I don't know if Narcos keeps up the Goodfellas-esque feeling throughout the whole series, but I'm liking it so far.

computer parts posted:I don't know if Narcos keeps up the Goodfellas-esque feeling throughout the whole series, but I'm liking it so far. "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a drug lord." Where does it rank in quality compared to other netflix stuff so far? I consider the first season of House of Cards to be their best stuff so far. I wonder where it sits next to that.

Hardware was a pretty interesting choice of movie to watch while tired and drunk. That poo poo was like a hellish fever dream. Narcos was awesome. Netflix really puts out some amazing shows. Not on the level of some of HBO's best stuff, but easily on the level of a network like AMC.

That poo poo was like a hellish fever dream I first watched Hardware when I was like 20 and high off my rear end. It was loving terrifying/invigorating. And somehow that feeling carried over to sober me watching it again later. It's a work of lunatic art. Someone do a Hardware thread already. I am too lazy for the record.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Blue Ruin is still as wonderful as the first time I watched it. It's one of my favorite movies of 2014, which is pretty high praise considering what a good year it was for movies. It's a beautiful, low budget revenge movie that plays with a lot of the tropes of traditional revenge movies. The main character isn't some super spy Liam Neeson type, he's just a normal dude who tries to take revenge on the man who killed his parents, and he fails constantly in ways you would never see in you usual revenge flick. Weird coincidence for this to show up in the thread. I finally got around to watching this today. Pretty much agree with your reaction, it's a beautiful movie! I felt it took a little too long to close out, but that's the only (tiny) nitpick I have. Gonna have to keep my eye on this director. I'd heard it billed as a dark comedy but although there's a bit of humour to be found from his early attempts at revenge, it's definitely closer in tone to No Country. I always appreciate when a movie can tell a story through visuals alone and I don't think there's any dialogue in this for the first 30 minutes or so. Pretty impressive.

Found this very non-comprehensive list: Available 9/8/15 Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Available 9/10 Longmire, season 4 Available 9/16 The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part One (2014) Available 9/24/15 Thor: the Dark World (2013) Also coming in September, exact dates TBD Hemlock Grove, season 3 Grimm, season 4 Revenge, season 4 Haven't seen the new Hunger Games yet, and Age of Ultron, if a bit disappointing, is still worth watching if you're into Marvel.

This looks like a good month. Gonna make my wife watch Rambo. I also have somehow never seen Lawrence of Arabia, and I'm very excited for that. I enjoyed the first two seasons of The Following as background TV in the gym. I tried The Blacklist but got immensely bored about ten episodes in. The season was stretched way too thin. There's only so much James Spader can do.

morestuff posted:Lawrence of Arabia: Restored Version (1962) I've been meaning to see Lawrence of Arabia for awhile. Also, the Rambo movies is good, especially the first one, which I need to rewatch. Tense stuff that defies its legacy. I've also heard rumors that Mind Game is hitting streaming on the 2nd, so if you want to see some insane wild-rear end animation, look forward to that. Because of Wes Craven's death, I'd also like to remind everyone that A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Nightmare, and Scream are on Netflix, and are varying degrees of great.
