Whomever thought to isolate the Conan travelogues as their own show and put them on Netflix was a genius.

I loved it when I was a kid but something about it just put me to sleep this time around. It grinds to a bit of a halt after April's apartment gets torched and they're on the old farm (edit: and Raph's beating is pretty gratuitous for a movie aimed at kids, I remember crying at it when I was all of like six years old), but then it picks right back up when the Turtles go back to New York. Honestly, the thing that bugs me the most between TMNT and Secret of the Ooze is the switch from Corey Feldman to whatever chucklefuck they chose to voice Donatello in the sequel.

Secret of The Ooze was a good kids movie and I loved it back then, but I feel like the first one holds up better watching it now. There's something about the whole grimey New York crimewave aesthetic I really dig and it's a pretty cool take on the source material. SOTO is like "lets make some fuckin toy$ babee!"

Now that you mention it, this is exactly where I started to tune out and drift off. Even the apartment fight wasn’t particularly engaging. I only ever had a passing interest in TMNT as a kid, so maybe the absence of nostalgia is coloring my perception a bit.

I finally got around to tapping into my Netflix backlog and watched Kristy. All I could think of at the end was "what a super generic slasher film".

They both have their merits. The first one is surprisingly well-made and emotionally grounded. The second one is basically a Bill & Ted movie.

It is generic, but I have a soft spot for movies where the victims turn the tables on the killers. I also remember the religious stuff was pretty drat stupid.

On the flip side, watching as an adult, I can appreciate a lot of Casey Jones' jokes a lot more. e.g. "I never even looked at another guy!"

Big Mean Jerk posted:I think S2 would have been better suited to a reduced episode order, like 4 or 5 episodes, and the removal of some of the minor arcs. I thought Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughan did a decent job with what they were given. I thought both of them were miscast, and the crying biker cop was poorly played too. Colin Farrell was terrific, and the episode where the gang crashes the high society orgy was bonkers, but otherwise I felt the show was a laughable snoozer punctuated with a few scenes good enough to partially redeem the rest.

People are complaining that Netflix is burying Solo, I guess this is probably part of their rollout. I came across it browsing through movies ... except it was the Spanish version. It had an English audio option, but the opening text and such were all in Spanish. Odd.

Netflix doesn’t bother marketing 99.999999% of the stuff on their service, especially if it’s not a Netflix Original because they think word of mouth does most of their work for them

Seems like it's just the Disney stuff they bury. And it's usually only for a month or so, then it'll work it's way into the thumbnails. I wonder if it has something to do with Disney's end of it. i.e. not loving with DVD sales and paid rentals. Solo is better than it gets credit for though. It's pandering as all hell (what Disney Star Wars isn't though?) but it's actually fun to watch, unlike the new trilogy.

I finally watched "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," and it's every bit as incredible as people have been saying it is. I'm going to be ruminating on it for weeks, trying to figure out which vignette sticks with me for the longest. I think it's a tie between the first, titular one, and "Meal Ticket" - the lightest and the darkest ones, of course.

netflix laziness posted:They do the same thing with every big movie now Netflix added a "latest" menu item in their latest UI update. If you go there you can see recently released and upcoming things. It's on that terrible "left menu" on xbox. I still get the "new show email" for third party content, but i receive it weeks after it is available. They seem to only send day 1 emails for Netflix content.

For some reason I thought I had read that they bury the biggest movies to avoid server congestion - slowly increasing the number of viewers getting the movie thumbnail means the load is spread over weeks.

That's what I thought was going on, but there hasn't been a real test because the only monster releases they seem to get these days are Disney owned. But I think they really really want to avoid service interruptions due to server congestion if they can because they don't want people thinking of Netflix as a flaky service. They want it in people's minds as rock solid and reliable, I know for myself if it became a 50/50 shot of being able to watch a major release when I get home from work I'd drop Netflix.

This seems like it would only matter if they're counting on people browsing the list of movies and then not watching anything because they didn't have Solo—or whatever huge blockbuster we're talking about—promoted to them. Unless there's something where, like, Disney movies are super-high-bitrate and therefore take up more server and network resources to stream, it shouldn't matter what people are watching. I mean, maybe they're counting on people bailing when they don't find anything, but I've heard the theory you're saying before and it's never been tied to anything said by Netflix itself, so I'm kinda suspicious of it. To put it another way, the only problem with Netflix users streaming ten thousand copies of Solo simultaneously instead of Solo and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine other movies simultaneously should be making sure there's enough servers with a copy of Solo available to read from. It could theoretically happen that a movie isn't widely enough replicated to stream well to lots of people simultaneously, but if you have high enough expected demand to manually decrease the movie's priority for promotion, then you also have the knowledge you'd need to prepare your server system for everyone wanting to stream that movie when they do hop onto Netflix. Netflix preferring to advertise its own content over Disney's makes way more sense. edit: Note that Netflix has no problem telling everyone to watch Stranger Things and Bird Box and their other original content when it launches. Bandersnatch was front and center on my TV the day it was released. You wouldn't see this contrast with Disney content if it was a server issue.
