A MIRACLE posted:Tokyo Drift is up on Netflix. Still the best of the series ...how can you feel this way when god king Diesel is not in this (except for a 1 minute cameo at the end)? But for real though, how can you not think that the over the top action decadence of the last couple is better than Tokyo Drift?!

The Get Down was released on Netflix a couple days ago. It's pretty cool so far, I'd recommend it. Starts off in the crime/gang ridden New York (Bronx specifically) in the magical time when Disco was about to die and Hip-Hop was about to explode. It's not exactly based on a true story: although it includes fictional depictions of real people: it's more of a fantasy and I think the best way to describe it so far is like a Hip-Hop Moulin Rouge. Fitting, as when I finally read up on it after watching the first 3 episodes: it's done by the same guy. Here's a link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usv442G6H8A

I watched My Friend Rockefeller on Netflix. I am a big geek about the Clark Rockefeller story so I felt like it was missing a lot of important stuff, but it was mostly a series of interviews with people whom he had befriended throughout his "career." There's also footage of him being interviewed/deposed in court, which was kind of interesting. It's worth watching, but as an accompaniment to a really good book like The Man in the Rockefeller Suit.

Also there was that really weird scene where he's drifting with the chick Neela, and they come around a turn and are going way too fast and there's this huuuge crowd of people in the way and the girl's eyes get huge and there's this look on her face like, "oh poo poo, maybe racing isn't as cool and fun as it's cracked up to be, maybe it's super dangerous and stupid and we're about to kill a dozen or more peopl-" and then the crowd just magically parts and they drift through and nobody ever thinks about it again fuckin' nuts, man

They seemed to emphasize the chariots a lot in the media I saw, and really unflattering haircuts. I love that people are making movies like this nowadays - where you make a spinoff of a soon-to-be-released movie and/or mix up a couple of movies' titles so some poor idiot will grab it thinking it's something entirely different. It reminds me of those knockoff gameboys and knockoff games poo poo they used to sell in the 90s, that were notorious for grandmothers buying as presents because they couldn't tell the difference. I hope that one day I will be in a conversation with someone and mention a movie title, and they'll be like, oh yeah, I remember "In the Name Of, wasn't that the one with all the chariots and the kid with the bow and arrows? coyo7e fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Aug 15, 2016 |

Could you imagine being in the crew of a movie that exists only to fool people into thinking they are renting a different movie? Amazing. They must film them in like a day too with the frequency that they pump them out.

I didn't watch Narcos when it premiered but I checked it out this week and I think it's a pretty good series. My one beef with it is that I think the actor who plays the primary protagonist isn't nearly as good an actor as the rest of the cast. I'm looking forward to the second season, and I hope they continue to reference Escobar's zoo because it's pretty hilarious that the hippos escaped after the zoo was abandoned and have established themselves in Columbia. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27905743 After that I checked out Narco Cultura and it depressed the gently caress out of me. I remember the panic surrounding gangsta rap in the 90's but everyone knew 99% of that was bullshit and those dudes were just entertainers looking to make a book. On the other hand, with Corridos you know that stuff is real and I bet any poseurs would be handled by the cartels' sicarios on principle. The narco graveyard was really amazing, I think it would be a good setting for an action movie but you'd have to be crazy to film a movie in Sinaloa central.

I'm Not There is on Prime. If you like Bob Dylan or if you dislike Bob Dylan it's probably worth a watch for the performances, and personally I think it's a really good film. It's similar in many ways to Inside Llewyn Davis though it was made first and isn't quite as good.

It's very good, but everyone should watch it for Blanchett's performance as rock-era Dylan, especially when sharing the screen with David Cross's Allen Ginsberg. That's some good stuff.

That's some good stuff. I'm an enormous Dylan fan and had watched basically every piece of media he was in during this period when the movie first came out, and she absolutely nailed every mannerism. Ben Wishaw does really well, also. And having his baby-faced early folk era - where he'd basically bullshitted a bunch of folksy backstory to record label heads - be played by a young black kid calling himself Woody Guthrie was some inspired casting. The soundtrack is drat good, too. MeatwadIsGod fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Aug 16, 2016 |

Oh drat, I'm definitely going to watch I'm Not There. I'm completely, totally, 10000% in love with Cate Blanchett and I especially like it when she plays notable figures.... Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth, etc so I'm sure I'll love her take on Dylan.

david_a posted:Yeah, Asylum seems really loving smug about making money on no-effort cash-in trash from an interview I heard. Back when Zodiac came out, I told my friend about it. A few days later he texted me 'This movie blows. I've been watching half an hour and Gyllenhaal hasn't even shown up'. Turns out he'd been watching an Asylum (or other mockbuster company) movie called The Zodiac or Zodiac Killer or something. On HBO Go I stumbled across a Spanish language film called Kamikaze. It was billed as action, but it's really more of a dark comedy. About a suicide bomber. He's all ready to stick it to the Russians by blowing up a plane headed for Madrid, but the flight is cancelled before takeoff due to snow, and all the passengers are diverted to a hotel for a few days. The film is kinda all-over the place and falls flat thematically at times, like it's not sure if it wants to be a comedy, a drama, a thriller, a social commentary, but for what it was, I liked it.

Too bad they bungled the execution.

Though if nothing else, I thought the part where the bomber goes up to sing karaoke is worth any slogging/'meh' parts of the movie.

If you want to see that concept done well keep an eye out for Day Night Day Night. Doesn't look like it's streaming at the moment but it has been on Netflix in the past.

Shaka Zulu is very good. Robert Powell has a minor-ish role as a doctor in the British colony during Shaka's time and he narrates, but the majority of the miniseries is focused on Shaka Zulu - the legends surrounding him, his upbringing, and his rise to power.

Finished the NSU: German History X series last night, I can't remember the last time I was so outraged by the end of a movie or series like that. Really, really worth watching. When the lady terrorist turned herself in near the end for identification and then refused to talk, is it because she knew she'd be protected by the national security guys? I had the feeling that she was offered a deal by the feds because they were trying to put the whole matter to bed. Filthy Hans fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Aug 18, 2016 |

I'm basically bedridden and watching Netflix (or youtube or whatever I guess?) for the next 2 weeks on my phone. So far I've watched Nightcrawler Django Unchained Killing Them Softly There Will Be Blood No Country For Old Men I kinda like how in those the story just kind of..ends. Like hey here's what happened between this time and that time, now the movie is over and life goes on. Any suggestions to keep me sane? Basically any good crime and or violent movies.
