Little Evil isn't very good, not awful, but not worth watching.

TV Zombie posted:Is it better/scary than Release The Hounds? I was worried about the scariness but it was right up my alley. RTH is poopy diapers. The gate mechanic is better as they go along but Hellevator is more consistently terrible/good. Not scary at all but my tolerance is really high. It's more camp than anything.

It works either way I guess. I liked all the characters but felt like the kid was much better as good Lucas than evil Lucas. And Clancy Brown as a priest gives too much away too soon. Evangeline Lilly was wasted in a generic brunette role. It wasn't a bad movie but it doesn't offer anything special.

TV Zombie posted:Watching Case Closed pn Netflix and watching it reminds me of why the series is such a classic. I just hope/wish that the last episode of the collection has a resolution so that Conan can finally turn back into a teenage boy again. Meanwhile, Crunchyroll has the current episodes of Case Closed on it (only going back 100 episodes or so, unfortunately), and they're almost 900 episodes in and from looking at the thumbnails he's still in a little kid body. To give my own recommendation, Crunchyroll is also simulcasting the Junji Ito Collection, which I can recommend to anyone who likes Japanese horror.

Yeah I don't think he's ever going to get turned back into his proper age, much like Ash he's going to be a child forever because $$$

It looks like the Netflix collection is specifically eps #748 to #799 according to Wikipedia, with the show currently on its 886th episode. And 21 movies. It'd be really cool if the entire run of the series was up somewhere but that's a lot of episodes to handle. Len posted:Yeah I don't think he's ever going to get turned back into his proper age, much like Ash he's going to be a child forever because $$$ It's the entire premise of the show and would cut out a bunch of characters if it was ever permanent -- I don't think he'd be able to go on wacky adventures with elementary children anymore, you know? There's been a bunch of different ways here and there where he's been able to temporarily revert to his actual age, though.

Inzombiac posted:Futureman on Hulu is better than it has any right to be. Thanks for this recommendation, it was so good but I almost didn't stick with it after the first episode. In the end, I liked every character and it has a strange sincerity to it that I really love.

I really enjoyed A Futile and Stupid Gesture on Netflix. It's a movie about the rise of National Lampoon with actors playing Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest and Bill Murray, and others. As a Brit, I never really knew much about National Lampoon but I thought the movie was great with a good few laughs.

Make sure you watch Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon if you haven't.

I was not expecting it to be my thing since I don’t usually go for the biopic stuff.

There are enough travel/eating shows, but I like Somebody Feed Phil. He's got a really infectious playfulness that makes it stand out. I've liked Anthony Bourdain's shows for the most part, but I'm really worn out on his 'type'. A kind of rich guy, with a tan and a shirt buttoned a little too low, who really wants to be seen as salt-of-the-earth, while still being smug as humanly possible. So this was like a palette cleanser in the genre for me.

Future Man was good.

Open House is another horror movie that starts out ok, loses its footing and throws a fourth down Hail Mary into the next street over. Most disappointing horror movie since Oculus.

Okay so I started The Last Man on Earth on Hulu. It stars Will Forte as, well, the last man on Earth. The splash screen spoils the end of the first episode where we learn he is, in fact, not the last PERSON on Earth. It's really funny but don't watch it if you can't handle embarrassment-by-proxy. I can't recall the last time a show had a main character that was so pathetic, conniving and useless.

I'm glad I stuck through season 1, his awfulness really started to wear on me and I couldn't enjoy it. Season 2 was fantastic though, and hit the perfect tone of sweetness, comedy, and pathetic manchildness.

Walk Hard is an underrated comedy and miles better than anything that has Will Ferrell in it.
