The Miami episode is worth it just for the last 5 minutes where he's talking with Iggy Pop. But yeah, the first episode in South Korea was a total dud.

I haven't watched an anime in like 15 years but decided to give attack on Titan a shot and this show seems pretty rad.

Do they ever explain what the hell the Titans are or is that something left to the imagination? If the answer is yes don't tell me.

Good time for your fix of cult related entertainment: Kimmy Schmidt is back April 15, and The Path is airing on Hulu every Wednesday. Watched the first two episodes and I'm pretty into it so far. Hugh Dancy's character broke type from what I expected almost immediately.

Oh and related but not necessarily thread relevant, everyone go see Midnight Special.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
I read a lot of early reviews that said the first few episode of The Path were the worst but it gets a lot better, so if you were in from the beginning I guess you're in.

I'll probably wait until all the episodes are up before I watch it.

It's a bit clunky but I like the plot and I thought the opening scene was a really neat setup. And if Michelle Monaghan actually recruited for a cult I would join.

I don't know if I should be surprised how many horror movies there are on Netflix whose descriptions can be boiled down to, "two people are on a trip and attract one or more murderous people" but it feels like there's a lot.

Haha yeah totally. I watched one a while back that was sort of decent though. It was Irish I think, and the couple was driving in circles while maniacs hosed with the road signs.

Actually it probably sucked because I can't remember anything else about it but it was a fun watch.

I was wondering if that was new, I'll have to check it out later.

I've been watching The 100, by which I mean, "binging like there's no tomorrow." Past the first 2.5 episodes or so, it has a huge uptick in quality, and it's done a good job of dodging the expectations it sets up for some characters, even if teenagers will and always will be goddamned annoying. (It's also a bit creepy that all sex scenes are pretty much going to involve at least one underage participant given the premise of the show.)

Just watched Peewee's Big Holiday is on Netflix. It's just okay as entertainment (not bad, just kind of lukewarm), but there is something really interesting going on with the subtext around Peewee's sexuality that they couldn't do in previous films and shows. I don't think it's an accident that the girls from Faster Pussycat Kill Kill show up partway through.

When was the last time you saw Big Top Pee-Wee? The entire movie is about relationship/commitment anxiety and the desire to gently caress as many people as possible.

I mean, it even has a train-going-through-tunnel montage and everything.

I think they meant that this is the first one that's way more overt about PeeWee getting rutty thoughts about another dude. They didn't even bother inserting a female love interest for PeeWee to aggravate with his... uh, childishness.

Deadgirl was definitely shocking, and I would argue good as well. If you're into questions of ethics and are familiar with issues like philosophical zombies then you will definitely get a lot to chew on in this film.

I originally overlooked Narcopolis because of the terrible cover and the fact that Netflix gave it an expected rating of 1 star. I guess Netflix doesn't understand my overwhelming love for cyberpunk though, cause I thought it was a actually a pretty cool movie.

Unfortunately the plot gets really unfocused towards the end. I really liked it as a sci-fi police procedural and I liked the corporate hitmen and those sort of cyberpunk details. but it got pretty derailed by the terrible time travel plot.

Still they do an awesome job of creating a convincing world on a low budget. The movie looks great, which is the last thing I expected. Definitely gonna have to keep my eye on this director.

The Wolfpack was really fascinating to watch but after reading a bit more about it it seems like there's some question about how accurate the documentary is. I'd really like to see a follow up about the brothers.

Not on Netflix but I watched Haywire totally blind and was caught off guard by how many awesome people are on the cast. The action/spy montage sequences were great but overall it was a pretty predicable and dull plot. I like Gina Carrano as an action star though, I dont' think she gets enough credit.

As much as I see The Hole tossed out as a goon favorite, it's, well, kinda Goonies at heart. Also wasn't the older Brother, Dane, the son from Breaking Bad?

The Hallow is just plain olde magick loving over whomever gets near. I loved the setup, the explanation for why everything was happening, and the creepy neighbor. There was so much great casting in that movie.

My only real complaint is that the ending at times felt like (probably oughtn't highlight this until you've seen the movie) an Underworld sequel at points. Stay through the credits until it fades to black though, if you liked it.

Also I watched VANISH the other night. It looked like it was gonnapure pure torture porn revenge flick schlock with Danny Trejo but it was actually a pretty rad indie movie with an extremely low budget that you don't really notice until you realize that the entire movie is set inside of one van. I really enjoyed it although the special effects in the buildup to the end and in the end, were kind of fangoria level which was kind of dumb for how well everything else in the movie played out.

Also the casting and delivery from the policeman was inspired!

He Never Died was great! I wish I'd gone in completely blind, but the trailer didn't spoil too much I guess.

Probably the best use of the word "ok" in a movie. Henry Rollins is awesome.

edit: couldn't sleep so I finally watched The Sacrament. Which is really good. I wish more horror was like this.
