Tuxedo Catfish posted:The Ritual? Yeah. I really liked it. Really well made with some spooky rear end parts. It does commit the cardinal sin of showing the monster a lot at the end, but it is interesting and creepy enough that it doesn't really ruin anything, although I think it minimized the horror to some small degree. The seams showed a little too much on the CGI a few times. The part in the corpse church at the end gave me the heebie jeebies more than anything I can think of in a recent movie Overall I think it's one of the must watch Netflix produced movies, along with Wheelman. Overall just a solid horror flick that was crazier than I was expecting it to be.

Netflix has added Ocean's 11-13. Ocean's 11 is legitimately a good movie. Ocean's 12 is a really terrible movie that somehow manages to be a incredibly watchable movie just based off the charm and star power of its cast. The series completely runs out of steam with Ocean's 13 though.

But you have to remember, he was demonstrating it for a very basic straight retired white guy who has probably never cooked a day in his life. I highly doubt my dream baby Antoni would ever make it that way himself. When I make guac, I like to take an onion and char it under the broiler, and chop that up. That gives it a smokey flavor. I also like to chop up some thai chili pepper to give it some heat. Then salt, pepper, lime juice. The whole point of the new series isn't to turn these straight guys into megastuds who are perfect at everything, they take them as individuals, and help them improve themselves within their own abilities.

The Cloverfield cinematic universe is almost out of energy. 6 people alone are trying to bring back the energy. They all wish they were part of a different universe. They begrudgingly return to cloverfield and hack together something real kludgey. Then they immediately abandon ship. The Paradox is they're filming a 4th movie.

Is this why they started to have about 10 minutes of ads on shows that are meant to take about a half hour on tv? I gave up re-watching Key and Peele because it got freaking ridiculous with the ads.

Alterian posted:Is this why they started to have about 10 minutes of ads on shows that are meant to take about a half hour on tv? It's almost certainly a huge part of it. Hulu did a massive content spend last year (basically picking up almost every TV show that leaves Netflix, they signed a huge deal with Fox, there were some smaller deals with CBS and some European / British companies, and they've also spent big on older catalog shows like Seinfeld and now ER), and their subscriber growth is still relatively slow--year over year they're only getting about 4 million new ones--so, yeah, money's got to come from somewhere.

It may end up being resurrected as the Disney Streaming Service they’ve been talking about for the past few quarters. When / if the Fox deal closes, which won't be until sometime in 2019 at the soonest, Disney will have a 60 percent controlling share of Hulu. Disney's SVOD service will be a separate offering, though (they've already said it won't have anything R-rated from their catalog and will be focused towards more family fare).

AreWeDrunkYet posted:That actually brings up soomething I've been curious about. I always keep subtitles on, in case I miss some audio or something. People coming by generally seem to ask for them off. Sir Kodiak posted:I went through that myself a decade ago, and with my dad a couple years ago, and we both found a center channel speaker made a huge difference in hearing dialog. I have tinnitus so I always keep captions on, but aside from that I've noticed a general trend of dialogue being mixed less clearly over the last 20 years or so and I'm pretty sure this is exactly why. Most film audio is surround sound by default now and if you only have basic 2-channel stereo it can get drowned out.

Well, I ended up watching the entirety of American Vandal in one sitting. It was pretty good! I'm not really a fan of true crime stuff, outside of the occasional Forensic Files, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It was pretty funny the whole way through, but the last episode was legitimately kind of depressing. The characters were good too, they weren't just stereotypical high school teens and there were a lot of nice details about them. Dylan's a dumbass and all, but I didn't think he was that bad of a kid. And Mr. Kraz... there was definitely a Mr. Kraz in my high school. I guess they're making a second season, but with all new characters except the student filmmakers? I think that's a better idea than continuing with this story.

Honest question. I know this thread has a lot of Hulu hate, and I wouldn't pay for it myself, but I use a buddies account and it's pretty nice to have around. I can see how it would be the best service for certain people, and they do have a ton of poo poo on there. Why do people hate it so much?

Solid horror movie. I wasn't really bothered by the extent to which they show the monster because by the time that happens, the tone of the story has already shifted from just straight-up horror to being about the protagonist facing his fears and trying to be strong for his doomed friend. So a good monster design combined with it only needing to be ugly and hateful, as opposed to the earlier parts of the film where tapping into the fear of the unknown was the main point, worked pretty well for me.

Terrible interface, as mentioned, and having to sit through ads--and, in Hulu's case, the same three or four ads in every commercial break--on a service I already pay for is beyond aggravating.

Probably not gonna change anyones mind but no ads is like a dollar extra a month. I've never watched an ad on Hulu. I don't know why anyone would pay money to sub to it it and not just pay a little extra to make it not terrible.

Yeah, pretty much every Fox animated show not named The Simpsons or King of the Hill is exclusive to Hulu, now. As for ads, if you pay $11.99 / month, you don't see ads (with a few exceptions), while the standard tier with commercials is $7.99.

I don't ever want to see them, and I will not pay for your content if you want to show me ads. End of story. e: Okay not end of story, because I just want to point out that Hulu breaks the number one digital distribution rule: make it a better experience than pirating the same thing. I don't pirate anymore, but if I want to watch it, I'll either purchase on Google Play or Blu. If it isn't offered on either, I won't watch it. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 10, 2018 |
