I watched Fear Inc. as one of my Friday the 13th movies and thought it was pretty good. If you liked The Game, this movie is based on the same premise.

The episode of Mindhunter where they play the verse of Baker Street and cut it off before it goes back to the saxophone was INFURIATING

It's hilarious how every time they show the exterior shot of the FBI building there is machine gun fire in the background like it is a never ending war zone.

It's like the crow noise at the power plant in the Simpsons.

The Panic in Needle Park is on Amazon Prime, and it's a 1971 approximate time capsule of the New York that Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel sang about, complete with high ISO film grain. Al Pacino's super likable playing the male version of manic pixie dream girl.

It's also a fairly unsettling film as it centers around heroin addiction. Also, this is the role that got him the part of Michael Corleone.

I enjoyed The Babysitter - cool soundtrack, decently shot, some good gore. Sure it's nothing particularly deep or profound, but it's fun and doesn't outstay its welcome.

I felt McG tried to hard with some of the style choices. Robbie Amell was fantastic.

You can trace a lot of these 90s societal problems back to Reagan's defunding of community mental hospitals.

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks on Netflix for the first time in 12 years, and after having watched the incredible new season. While there are certainly some moments of brilliance in the series, there are definitely some aspects that have aged really poorly. Of course all the silliness the show descended to in the middle of season 2, like Nadine gaining super strength and thinking she is 16, or everything with James.

But what really sticks out to me now if how they feel the need to actively use every single cast member in every single episode. Nobody can take a week off. So a lot of the time they just randomly pair townies with Agent Cooper on his stakeouts. Need to take a hike in the woods to investigate some creepy poo poo? Well, why not bring local fisherman Pete Martell. An undercover sting at the local brothel? Well, let's get the gas station owner involved for no apparent reason.

Also, they use the exact same 2 backing tracks in every single episode: Laura's theme, or Audrey Horne's theme.

That's how I felt about it. I also liked Robbie Amell (that was the hunky shirtless guy, right?) hamming it up. It was a little goofy, funny and the run time kept it from dragging at all.

Some of the stuff in it kind of reminded me of Tucker and Dale vs Evil

I tried watching an episode just now without even this bit of suggestion, but absolutely. Stilted and jarring as hell. Couldn't make it more than 15 minutes in.

Season 3 of Gotham, on Netflix, is an excellent return to form after the cringy season 2. They jettisoned most of their weaker cast members and gave the best ones more screen time, which means we see much more Harvey, who got shafted last season.

Yeah Gotham is weird, its quality fluctuates wildly not only between but within seasons. It's good fun, someone else called it "grimcamp" which is the perfect word for it.

Might be good for early teens. Like, 14 at the oldest.

I thought it was wretched but of course I'm not the target audience.

Wheelman dropped on Netflix today and is getting some pretty insane reviews. Being compared to other great car chase films. Gonna watch this evening.

Werner Herzog's Salt and Fire is great and on Netflix. The trailers don't really do its sense of humor justice, plus it's incredibly shot.
