Those are all great episodes, hard to go wrong with any of them. Jack Frost is one of my faves.

I was a bit skeptical of a season 2 of Love but I'm really enjoying it.

How can this possibly be something that a white guy would find interesting?" Only 45 minutes in and it's already great. The thing I'm surprised nobody has been talking about is Accidental Courtesy. It's really interesting I thought.

Jack Frost is one of the better episodes because, like the other Russo-Finnish fairy tale movies they did, it's kind of a decent movie but it's still absurd enough to produce a lot of good jokes

Thanks for the Mike Birbligia recommendation, I really liked his latest stand up Mike Birbiglia - Thank God for Jokes, and I plan on seeing his other earlier ones. Probably late to the party on this one. I give a recommendation to Black Mirror. It's basically the Twilight Zone, but with technology decades out of our reach. The technology itself is believable because it's baby steps are based on what we have today, and the society that has adapted to it. Only watched three episodes of season one, and I feel pretty uncomfortable. Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Mar 15, 2017 |

Million Dollar Baby is on Netflix. I've never seen it but I've seen the Always Sunny parody episode of it and it's definitely going on my list.

Okay tycho, you're drunk go to bed. I'm not even sure what you're arguing there.DeimosRising posted:What the heck? At least I can be honest about it and learn from it, instead of accosting someone who mentions how their racist tendencies almost kept them from watching a pretty good film.

I don't want a pat on the back, but when white fragility is trolling me for learning a lesson and then admitting it out loud, I am not super-concerned about being on the wrong side of history.

Also speaking of white people The Young Offenders is a hilarious movie. Two idiotic 15 year old scottish kids decide to go on a cross-country bike spree to get magic bags of cocaine. It's got a pretty small cast and leans to the absurd, and the ending doesn't go all "shockingly hyper-violent out of nowhere" which seems to be a trigger around here lately. Did netflix start doing colors in their subs or was it just for that movie, though? It really helped but I can't recall seeing tri-color subtitles before on netflix. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Mar 15, 2017 |

Looks like the MST3K episodes are the same exact files they had before. Some of them still had my progress marked.

It's also Clint Eastwood. The Academy sits up and takes notice whenever he makes anything. Its like being the New England Patriots where your division sucks so you get in the playoffs every year by default. I love Eastwood though so I'm cool with it.

The first two seasons of Lucha Underground just got added to Netflix. I imagine most people already know whether or not they're willing to watch pro wrestling, but it's worth saying that LU isn't the bloated three-hour mess of steroid hulks punching each other that most people know from the modern WWE style. It's a tighter-paced, more story-driven show with better cinematography. (The wrestlers still can't act, but I think that's part of the charm.) It also embraces a lot of the silliness and fantasy that companies like WWE have tried to leave behind. It's a wrestling show with a time-traveling spaceman and a dragon in human form. A show where minor characters get killed off by being fed to a monster in the basement. A show with an angry ninja skeleton and a sexy teleporting ghost. It's also a wrestling show featuring people with very little regard for their own health and well-being. http://i.imgur.com/o9TCR5j.mp4

Yeah, I get that Marisa Tomei winning for My Cousin Vinny looks weird on paper, but it's a very good performance that grounds the movie without ever sacrificing the comedy.

In every clip I've ever seen from Lucha Underground the audience at some point starts chanting "HOLY poo poo! HOLY poo poo!" And in every clip I agreed 100% with their assessment.
