I'm not actually convinced he didn't do it. it's just insane how much the police obviously tampered with the case to get a guilty verdict.

Yeah, it's not a show about trying to find the real murderer, it's all about how the cops tampered with the scene and evidence to guarantee a conviction on the guy they thought did it.

If anything their lovely corrupt behavior will make sure we'll never actually know who did it, because they never properly investigated it.

It seems as good a time as any to remind people that Rectify is on Netflix, which is basically a fictionalized version of the same basic concept (DNA evidence gets a guy exonerated of a rape and murder he didn't commit after 20 years in jail, the cops and politicians immediately begin scheming to get him back in jail, he struggles with life outside of prison while his family and community struggles to accept him) and is so, so good.

Which would you guys say is better? Prime video or Netflix? I have Netflix USA at the moment but often can't decide what to watch and find myself scrolling for hours.

By default Prime is better because it comes with Amazon Prime.

i feel like Prime is starting to edge it out in terms of selection, but for me Netflix's streaming quality is better almost 100% of the time

At this point in time I'd be considering just getting the prime video service which is £5.99 a month (The same as netflix) I have noticed they have introduced a music service on the full prime package as well it's just a shame they don't offer a monthly payment scheme yet.

I use Netflix about 8-10x more often than Prime if that helps.

Last night on Hulu I watched a documentary by James Franco called Saturday Night; it takes a behind-the-scenes look at the six-day production cycle of an episode of Saturday Night Live. It was a really entertaining watch.

Someone mentioned it earlier, but Queen of Earth is definitely worth checking out. Simple story but it's done in a very interesting way with really unnerving and great atmosphere. It'd make a good double feature with Antichrist, I think. It's also got a nice-looking but almost unparseable ending credit roll.

I think Prime video has enough to warrant the cost, but if it wasn't bundled with Prime shipping I'd stick exclusively to Netflix.

Just at a casual glance I would honestly say that Prime has just as much good stuff as Netflix, if not more. With Prime you get some great indie movies like Ex Machina really early, you get a ton of great HBO shows, etc. Then again, I pay for Prime, Hulu, Netflix, and Spotify so I might not be the best person to ask. At least I don't pay for literal cable TV...

Okay guys, you win. I was all excited for Making of a Murderer based on the thread. Was mostly bored through the first episode: "this is just like one of those CourTV documentaries", "yeah this whole thing is hosed, but the outrage ITT was overblown". Then the end of the episode happened  I actually exclaimed "Holy poo poo".

Most of the newer stuff is available on Amazon Prime as well. Where it's gaining ground is with original material.

True, but Prime is getting there too - The Man in the High Castle and Transparent are both better than just about anything Netflix has produced, and their other stuff like Alpha House and Mozart in the Jungle ain't too shabby either.

My problem with prime is that it's hard to know what's on it. Netflix's menu is just better. At least for me on my fire tv stick, unless I just don't know how to use it properly.

Prime's searching and listings are terrible. You barely can filter through poo poo and it's recommendations are mostly crap. And since a "pro" for Prime was the music streaming, the filtering/recommendations/menus are even worse there.

Just watched Queen of Earth and... goddamn this film is just  Between this, her turn in Top of the Lake and The One I love, Elizabeth Moss is probably becoming one of the most capable actresses in film today, particularly in portraying mental illness, damaged or "off" characters, and she's in top form for this film. I'm going to need a few days to really work through this movie in my head. It's the kind of film where nothing actually happens, main characters sit around and mope, and beautiful rich white people tear each other apart with brutally honest and laser-targeted critiques, but in the execution it manages to be none of those things. It's like staring directly into the void. Devastatingly beautiful film. Also, unrelated but does anyone else think that the soundtrack sounds familiar? During the entire runtime I kept thinking of this random credit sequence from Always Sunny in Philadelphia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI-0rmV2-Yo

Cosmopolis doesn't have the same scifi/magical realism tones, but it does have a similar sense of the uncanny playing into it. A feeling that there is something going on that you just can't grasp, and you can't even figure out why exactly it is that way. The first ten minutes or so might be boring and the poor green screen work might upset you a bit, but stick with it and it will turn into something really interesting. I still don't know whether or not I liked that movie.

Any of you guys check out screambox yet? The selection seems pretty poo poo, the only standouts I noticed were The Hunger, a mildly erotic outer limits kinda show from the late 90s by showtime which has some bigger names (like Daniel Craig) starring at times, and a bunch of Elviras movie macabre series (which was how I first saw Manos: Hands of Fate) Other than that screambox has now introduced me to what has to be the literal bottom poo poo tier of movies, Brain Damage productions. Handycams and actors from the deli department take you on harrowing journeys through tiny middle america towns, with some of the most incredibly realistic dialogue I've ever seen put to film; I never once got the impression anyone involved is in a movie. I suspect flash cards were heavily involved. Anything here that doesn't suck? It's got a month free trial and seems its 4 bux a month, so at least the price is right.
