Watched Raiders! the other day on Netflix, and it was great. It's a documentary about a group of 11 year olds that spent 9 years creating a shot for shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Long shot, but this seems like the place to ask: 6-9 months ago there was a streaming subscription site announced that was dedicated to arthouse/foreign/culturally significant films (Criterion-esque). It didn't have a launch date, just a place to leave your email for updates. Does anyone have any idea what that was and if it's still coming? edit: vvvvThanks!!vvvv Ingmar terdman fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Sep 30, 2016 |

There's also Fandor, which has been around a little while now, and which has some very awesome stuff that nobody else does.

Watched The Phantom since it's about to leave Netflix. Kinda cute. There are some problems and it's not really a gripping action movie, but on the other hand, and I cannot stress this enough, it has Catherine Zeta Jones playing a sexy pirate lady. Who essentially spends the whole film hate flirting with Kirsty Swanson.

Maxwell Lord posted:Watched The Phantom since it's about to leave Netflix. It also has Treat Williams firing a guy, then as the guy is leaving the conference room, he throws a loving spear through him and nails the guy to the wall, and everyone else in the room just sort acts like this is okay. Treat Williams also kills a guy with a microscope rigged to force blades into the eyes of the person who uses the focusing wheel of the microscope. Basically, Treat Williams is the best part of The Phantom

Spatulater bro! posted:So I see that much of Shudder's catalog is also on Amazon Prime. Is there any reason for me to subscribe to Shudder if I already have Prime? I am interested in this queston also. I was planning to get Shudder at least for the month of Halloween, but if it is pretty much the same as Prime, I don't see a real use.

Its really not the same selection as Prime at all. Shudder is an add-on to Prime and yea there's maybe a small handful of movies that are redundant, but hardly any. For the $5, you'll get access to at least five or six great horror movies that are right up your alley, regardless of what your personal taste in horror is. And that's at an absolute minimum. You could probably get through your entire October marathon using nothing but Shudder.

The Shudder site is a pile of garbage. I've had many problems with movies refusing to play after a certain point (confirmed by others in the comments), player updates moving essential controls off screen unless you fiddle with window sizes, and a generally poor experience with a website that operates like something made from a "My First Streaming Service" kit. As of a couple months ago it didn't have any kind of sorting controls besides alphabetical and a clearly incorrect "most recent" and it only just added a watch list feature. I switched to the Amazon Prime addon as soon as I knew it existed. I'm really disappointed by how little an effort they put into the main website.

I'm not seeing any way to search the Shudder catalog (not the entire Amazon catalog) from the Prime Shudder channel. All it lets me do is browse the pre-made collections. Am I missing something?

Another Shudder question. Do they occasionally lose movies the way Netflix does?

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Based on all the Giallo movies I've seen they just sorta wander around crime scenes eating sandwiches and making sarcastic remarks The lead detective on the case, my wife put it best, is like a comic relief character in a play by Shakespeare. He wants very much to be Sherlock Holmes and for this to be one of his favorite detective stories, so he goes out of the way to bend reality and make it so. It's funny, but at the same time this weirdo did a lot to put apparently innocent people in jail for quite some time, all in the name of having a more interesting life.

Okay, so I watched the 2015 thriller River last night, and it's basically a new grindy, neo-noir classic. Otherwise, don't sleep on Belgica. It's great.

I really like Iliza but I didn't love this special. It has some good material but her delivery can be a bit much. I thought the go home bit was impressive but just not that funny.

The one joke that made me smirk was immediately ruined by her running it into the ground after it was over by making stupid voices and faces for another 20 seconds. Reminds me of a female Kevin Hart. You are right some of the jokes had potential but they get ruined by the delivery.

Sounds like the set up for a Rodney Dangerfield standup. "Idris Elba. I love Idris Elba. If it were up to me I'd cast him as the lead in everything... I'd make an exception, though, for Luther Season 4; because that's how much I like the guy."

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Yep. Such a great show. Just finished it; you were right. Season 2 was kind of odd, though. I was hoping for something different than "new character pretends to be naive and enlists the help of the DMDC (and gets romantically involved with a club member), only to be revealed as a bad-guy detectorist that's working with Simon and Garfunkle." That's the exact plot of season 1. Also, they totally abandoned the plane wreckage stuff after building up the whole "is there gold?" mystery. I guess since it was Nazi gold, we're just supposed to not care? And then Netflix doesn't make it clear that the last episode was a Christmas special, so you're totally expecting it to finish up the storyline, but then it's 6 months later with no mention of the main S2 plot. Looking back, Episode 6 was a good end to the season, and it did wrap up every storyline except the plane wreckage. It's just that last episode that threw me for a loop. Anyway, I still love this show. It's a really unique style of comedy and the tone is perfect. It's too bad Season 3 sounds like it's still questionable. Everyone should check out Detectorists.

wa27 posted:Just finished it; you were right. Season 2 was kind of odd, though. I had the same reaction to Ep 7, adding a supernatural element in a show that doesn't need it is usually pretty dire, but the episode was funny and thoughtful enough otherwise so I'll give it a pass. As for the plane, it was clear that there wasn't any gold on the plane and the German, the mayor, and the Dirt Sharks were all just greedy nighthawk scum; they were so myopic about the myth that they never realized the crash site's real value was cultural, not commercial. Also, the wanted poster with a photo of the real Simon & Garfunkel was comedy gold.

The VVitch is on Amazon Prime. In my opinion, it's an instant classic and probably the scariest movie I've seen outside of The Shining and Ju-on. The dread begins building mercilessly from the 2nd scene and never lets up. It's beautifully shot and acted from a superb script.

The only thing to keep in mind it that it is a fairly gradual, so for the best experience make sure to set some time aside and shut out possible distractions, so you can really make the oppressive atmosphere work.
