Sergeant_Crunch posted:iZombie is really fun if you want a super silly crime show about a zombie mortician who can have visions of a victims last moments by eating their brains. I actually enjoyed iZombie a lot more than I thought I would. So I'll triple down on this recommendation (someone recommended it a few weeks ago which is why I watched it).

Question for the people with Hulu: Does the selection of Criterion movies cycle around or anything? There's a ton of good stuff on there, but obviously not everything. Do they rotate movies in and out, or is it just a static library that they are adding to over time? Just wanna know if I should be worried about movies disappearing from my queue or anything.

Also: I didn't know anything about Phoenix when I threw it on, but it's pretty great. Owes a lot to Hitchcock specifically Vertigo and noirs in general, but it's gorgeous and terrifically acted. The premise is sort of improbable but if you're willing to meet it halfway you'll probably like it. Good review here if you want it. It's up on Netflix.

morestuff posted:January 9th This movie is extra hosed up. Definitely worth a watch for the horror crowd. It's the one movie I've seen this year that actually made me squirm in my seat. Shame the big twist is such an easy guess, but it doesn't detract from what makes the movie great.

X-Ray Pecs posted:Netflix recently added a really good documentary called The Thread, which is about an Internet manhunt for the Boston bombers. It's a fascinating look not only at vigilante justice in the Internet era, but also how this affected real news sources like CNN and "real" news sources like Buzzfeed, and why the immediacy of Internet news is not the best thing in the world. It's only an hour long, so definitely check it out. If you want to really cringe at Reddit, this is the documentary for you. The guy who finds out where the terrorists are and goes to chase them down and "get answers" is just amazing, especially because he ends the documentary completely oblivious to how loving stupid he was and how they made him look using nothing but his own words and some Reddit posts. Yes, even Reddit users were telling him to go the gently caress home. I almost turned it off because in some parts in the beginning, it almost seems like they're glorifying Buzzfeed, which I couldn't stand for. The real meat is in the back half of the film.

There's an amazing bit with that kid where they show a guy saying something about the people who misidentified the terrorists not going outside, and then it cuts to the kid in a parking lot looking at his iPad. I don't think it was glorifying Buzzfeed, Buzzfeed's kinda there so the film can point to the dire state of Internet news, that a website known for clickbait and listicles, was one of the better news sources for this story.

I want to chime in more support for "A Very Murray Christmas". I'm a bit too young for the celebrity sing along holiday specials but just old enough to remember them being a part of the cultural zeitgeist. I thought it was worth it for Buster Poindexter and Jenny Lewis singing, an admittedly edited, version of Fairytale of New York

This was incredible to watch in real time, I should probably give the doc a shot. I just remember a lot of redditors getting hyped up about THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO CATCH REAL TERRORISTS WE'RE GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE THE COLLECTIVE HIVEMIND IS BETTER THAN THE FBI BECAUSE WE'VE ALL SEEN CSI ON NETFLIX and a lot of screen caps from the marathon with faces circled in mspaint. And like hours later there were a ton of press releases from the police saying pretty much 'congrats, idiots, you found off duty cops'.

morestuff posted:Amazon Prime for January: Man of Tai Chi owns, Tiger Hu Chen is loving awesome. Bone Tomahawk wasn't really good enough to deserve a bolding, and I was pretty sad Sid Haig was only in it for about the space of one long held breath. The Burrowers was way better set and way more intense, despite a lesser casting line-up. BT isn't bad but Burrowers was a way better old west horror, imho.

Yeah there's one scene that starts off the third act that is way more brutal and gory than anything I have seen in a minute. Edit: I just realized both Patrick Wilson and the guy who plays Hanzee from Fargo are both in this and Fargo S2 as well.

You don't have to wait for Bone Tomahawk to hit Amazon Prime to see David Arquette die horribly in a Cannibal Western, you can watch Ravenous on Netflix right now. Do it.

It just occurred to me that David Arquette dies in both of the cannibal Westerns he's in and that owns. He's like the cannibal Western equivalent of Sean Bean.

The Best Offer Beautiful movie, Geoffrey Rush, Donald Sutherland, and some lady. Score by Ennio Morricone, is great. The acting is decent for the supporting cast. loving hate this movie. Pretentious. I don't know where to began. A very wealthy loner of a auctioneer and art collector is hired by a recluse to auction much of her belongings to make ends meet. What I ended up with was was a lovely m.night bullshitavoid unless you love seeing these actors, and good music.

I watched F is for Family so you don't have to. It's utter trash, seriously. Shallow characters, predictable plots, "ironic" racism that is so bad it becomes actual racism, and stilted animation.

Hal Hartley's Ned Rifle is on Netflix now. I think it's his best film since Henry Fool, maybe his best ever though for certain reasons Trust will always have a special place in my heart. If you haven't seen Henry Fool or Fay Grim, Ned Rifle will still basically make sense but obviously knowledge of the first two will enrich the experience of the finale. Thomas Jay Ryan really loving kills it.

Netflix UK put up some weird Scottish comedy sketch shows Limmy's Show and Burnistoun. Limmy watched a lot of Mr. Show with Bob & David after his first season and felt justified to go 100% sillyfuns after so it's a real shame people only have the chance to see the only season he is a little unsure and the show is a little pedestrian. Hopefully we get the other seasons up ASAP. Burnistoun is not as mad or clever as Limmy's Show but better than most sketch shows if you can get your head around the Scottish accent.
