Babel was added to Netflix within the last few days. It's Inarritu so it's worth a watch.

So Netflix is getting into a bad habit of adding movies to streaming but not making it explicit in their DVD rentals which new releases are available for streaming. Used to be I could just scroll down my queue and see new additions with a nice little "STREAM" button next to them. First noticed this with Rams.

The pilot begins with him loving up doing the splits and getting walloped in the face with a baton, and it gets more ridiculous as it goes deeper. God dang I loved JCVD. I am all over this.

Ugly In The Morning posted:This is loving amazing. Amazon better pick it up. Also, do yourself a huge favor and watch The Get Down ASAP, it's basically if "Stranger Things" had a baby with The Wire and out popped a retelling of the birth of the Wu-Tang Clan. Grandmaster Flash's actor is a bit weak but the goofy pseudo-asian philsophy poo poo he slings when teaching people to Deejay, is surprisingly great, and it helps that half of the characters look like extras from The Warriors. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Sep 6, 2016 |

The Get Down is outstanding and so much fun (does it have its own thread yet?) American Ultra was better than I expected. Take the premise of the Bourne series, but with the deadly sleeper agent being a panicky mild-mannered 20-something stoner who draws comics and works at a convenience store. And overall the whole thing has kinda the same sense of humor as Cabin In The Woods. 22 Jump Street was disappointing. Had its moments, but didn't live up to 21JS. Too much rehashing and meta wink-wink nudge-nudge.

I thought American Ultra was really mediocre. Maybe it's just because Topher Grace is a terrible actor.

There's nothing slow about it, they very clearly separated the web sites several years ago and left the disc interface to stagnate for most of that time up until fairly recently.

TychoCelchuuu posted:At one point they even renamed the DVD service to "Qwikster" to make the separation more obvious. "Slowly but silently" is like the worst possible way to describe it. They yelled about it so loud that people laughed at them and they changed the name back to Netflix. Guys, c'mon. It's like none of you read my post. This is what I'm referring to. They said "we're gonna seprate this out into 'Quixster'" and everyone flipped their poo poo and they walked it back. At that point there were no public plans to make them distinct lines of business and Netflix has been silent on the matter since then. Over the last few years they've been de-emphasizing the DVD site, quietly rebranding the DVD portion, and now things like not syncing streaming status with the DVD queue. "Slowly but silently" is exactly how they're playing it.

He's also been accused of serial sexual harassment, and started a big shitfest with the accuser over it (a good chunk of the exchange is lost to time, but you can at least see his reaction if you google "Max Landis Lexi Alexander") Chronicle was dece and I dug the gently caress out of American Ultra though Jack Gladney posted:They're mad his father didn't cast him as a Vietnamese child in Twilight Zone.

Max Landis has a career because of his last name, and his output doesn't justify how much of an rear end he is as a persom. I can deal with John Landis being an rear end because he gave us quite a few classics before he committed

He's also a giant apologist for his dad killing three people, which is pretty infuriating if you know anything about that case. on reddit posted:Occasionally, just occasionally these days, the internet still makes me a little sick to my stomach. The fact that this accident, which claimed 3 lives and gave my father PTSD for my entire time of knowing him (I was born in 1985), is repeatedly retold with apocryphal elements and only cursory mention that there was a huge, well prosecuted trial that ended in an ACQUITTAL based on YOU KNOW IT BEING AN ACTUAL FLUKE ACCIDENT and that being unequivocably proven in court is horrifying to me.
