I'll probably end up watching it, but I don't know how the show will carry on without Ben Mendelsohn. Not just his character, but his acting carried that show.

Did you watch the trailer? Danny will still be around, in a sense... he'll appear to John just like Sarah did to Danny. Not as prominent as in S1 of course, but a little Danny is better than no Danny.

I guess it didn't do well commercially, but it makes me want a straight-up adaptation of Titus Andronicus done in the same manner. This was a really excellent movie. I don't know if it ever came up but Refn's Neon Demon is apparently going to Amazon sometime in June.

TCM and Criterion are launching their own streaming services, FilmStruck. Since it's gonna be "the exclusive streaming home for [...] the Criterion Collection," it sounds like Hulu's gonna lose Criterion's stuff

I have mixed feelings about this. At some point content is going to be spread over so many services that having a good selection will mean paying about as much as cable anyway. Still will probably subscribe.

I just hope there's going to be an app for it on the PS4. This sounds like my ultimate streaming service, combining TCM and Criterion is amazing, but its going to be really inconvenient if I can't stream it on PS4.

ARGH this is so stupid. I just canceled Netflix since I couldn't justify having two streaming services at once, and now Criterion is ditching Hulu!? I think for me this might mean constantly jumping around between providers. I still want to go back to HBO Now at some point, but I typically only watch one or two shows at once so having multiple services at the same time doesn't make sense. I don't see how this model is sustainable. Setting up the streaming infrastructure and creating a suite of apps for every platform is not a trivial amount of work. HBO Now's app is still garbage from what I understand. Hulu seemed like they already solved the tiered-content problem - Showtime is an optional upgrade. I would much rather have a handful of streaming services that are actually competent at the technical side of things and let certain content be optional add-ons.

I would just pick a service that has a lot of stuff you like, and wait. The problem with all of these streaming services is the problem with Cable TV now - there's not enough volume to actually justify the underlying costs. No one wants to watch 8 hours of Ice Road Truckers, or if they do they don't want to pay $10/mo for it and nothing else. Eventually these services will either go out of business or will be bundled in some way that you can get everything at one location.

I've been dying for a standalone version of TCM, hopefully it's not watered down. FilmStruck is a terrible name, though. I'll probably drop Hulu at this point, especially if I can scrounge up a Comedy Central login.

Criterion's release specifically mentions "internet-connected television platforms" quote:So when they asked us to team up with them to launch FilmStruck, a new subscription streaming service designed for people who love independent, art-house, and international cinema, we were honored and thrilled. Combining Turner’s programming experience with Criterion’s library of films and supplemental content made all the sense in the world.

Haha what even is #Horror? It's hosed up, a slasher movie involving 12-year-old girls with rich parents at a sleepover who are mean to each other. Didn't really like the ending where the "message" of the movie was how the images from the murders millions of views and likes and no one who saw them did anything. What? That wasn't portrayed anywhere in the movie, which was completely isolated in the house. Edit: I should also mention that it takes over an hour from the opening murder to anything else remotely evil happening. It still builds this sense of foreboding, but nothing happens until like the last twenty minutes. LifeLynx fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Apr 26, 2016 |

I'm not sure what it is about Stephen Dorff.. I really hate his face, to the point that I just kind of avoided movies with him in them. Maybe I was jealous of him because he was Alicia Silverstone's fake boyfriend in the Cryin' music video or something. The thing is, he's really good, and he's been in tons of movies that I absolutely love.. Cecil B Demented and Botched, for instance!  So I got over whatever hangup I had with wanting to punch him in his smug face and now enjoy watching him like a normal human being.This brings us to American Hero which showed up recently on Netflix and stars him and Eddie Griffin, as two wastrels cruising the streets of New Orleans getting drunk and stoned and generally being terrible examples of human beings - with a "Birdman"-esque twist. edit: I almost forgot, Band of Robbers is also pretty great, it's like Super Troopers written by Mark Twain.

Watched Moonwalkers which was just absolutely frustrating. Instead of being satisfied with making a good, goofy road comedy with Rupert Grint managing Robert Sheehan faking being Stanley Kubrick, for some ungodly reason they had to crowbar in "Also, Ron Perlman is here and he has PTSD which makes the movie a tonal trainwreck". I mean, I love Ron Perlman, but he should not have been in this. e: It does have a really fantastic opening title sequence though

But what the gently caress kind of slasher movie uses that kind of pacing? That defeats the entire purpose of a cheap slasher.

Speaking of HBO, I signed up for Now and wouldn't mind starting a new series from my bucket list. Some I haven't seen. Six feet Under Carnivale Treme Rome Oz generation Kill True Blood (actually I watched some of this and thought it was dumb years ago so maybe not) Curb Veep Second season of Deadwood probably some others...I've seen most of the big ones. Suggestions?

Oz is pretty dated but the first season is good. If you want a less 90s version, check out Wentworth on Netflix. It's an Australian show about a woman's prison. I liked season 1-3 of Treme but I also worked in New Orleans shortly after Katrina so YMMV.

It has some really goddamned funny moments but it paints such a depressing picture overall. That said, the reporter's agenda plays a big part of that. I know one of the guys portrayed in it, and while it paints a great picture of him personally, he has said it differs from the actual events enough that it should basically be treated as a work of fiction.
