I'm on Netflix constantly and usually just put on whatever the hell looks mildly entertaining for white noise but I gotta say the most recent one to blow me away was Section 13. As soon as I saw it was a Luc Besson flick I stopped what I was doing and was not disappointed.

I just watched that the other day, too...Great poo poo.

And Moon. Awesome, sad movie.

Also hi Toc.

Cashback: little British indie about a guy working in a convenience store who can maybe stop time?

I actually thought this movie was pretty blah, but it has some of the best nudity in a movie ever. The Swedish exchange student walking up the stairs was worth that months netflix sub cost alone.

I think Netflix just removed about every single television show from their instant queue, I looked through and there's nothing there, so I think it's a general service outage.

You sure? I just got done watching X-Files and my kids were watching Spongebob, and as I was flicking through my instaqueue it looked like all the usual stuff was there.

On my 360 I have no problems...In fact, many times it pauses to INCREASE the quality partway through. No idea the rhyme or reason....I always figured it just had to do with internet use in my house (ie. other people doing poo poo on other computers and such).

It's been on there for awhile so it's not new, but I watched Top Secret! today for the first time and holy poo poo it was hilarious.

I've never watched it before. I'm so excited.

Edit: Edited 30 Rock season number.

gently caress YES. I only ever saw season 1, and I've been waiting for it go up on Hulu or Netflix. Sucks that the first part isn't on there, but luckily I've already seen it.

Where did you notice this stuff go up? I just checked all over the new release area and don't see it.

Just watched this the other day, and wow...I'm glad they're going the more "realistic/violent" route with the cartoons. Was pretty damned good.

I'm glad that John DiMaggio didn't try to be Mark Hamill as the Joker, because he would have failed. Taking it in his own direction was a good choice. Anyone know why Hamill didn't do the part?

Reaper seasons 1 and 2 got added last week. I vaguely remembered hearing that it was really good when it first came out, but I never got a chance to watch it. It was cancelled after two seasons because it was on that lovely CW channel.

Anyway, it's about a guy whose parents sold his soul to the devil before he was born, and when he turns 18 he has to enter the devil's service as a bounty hunter, capturing escaped souls and returning them to hell.

The show is really funny and well done. I really like all the actors, and the guy who plays Sock is loving hilarious. Ray Wise as the devil is also loving great. It's a really good show...I'm about five episodes in and I'm hooked.

This show is good, but suffers from "canceled way too drat soon" disease. It never really lost steam and started getting pretty interesting but they axed it early partially because the actors who play Sam and Sock wanted to do other things and proceeded to do nothing but much crappier TV shows.

This episode is crazy because Snoop talks about how she's changing her life around and what not in it. She's just recently been arrested in a major heroin sting operation.

Also, similar to the Rust Belt episode is the Cleveland one which is noteworthy because he spends a fair amount of time paling around with Harvey Pekar.

Ah, I'd thought it was because it didn't get good ratings. I know the reviews were good, but I thought I'd heard that the viewership was low.

That said, I'm just a few episodes into season 2 and I loving love this show. It's hilarious and interesting and original, and all the actors are goddamn perfect.

Once again, people, check out Reaper.

Ray Wise might be my favorite actor whose ever portrayed the devil.

Yesss.... Been waiting on this for a while.

For what it's worth I hate everything Stargate except for the original film but Stargate Universe is awesome and I hope it sees it's way through cancellation status limbo.

Agree...It took awhile to shake the "we want to be gritty like Battlestar Galactica, remember how cool that show was" vibe, and it's settled into its own groove. I like it.

First time watching it? Just so you know, when you get to the last couple of episodes, order the physical DVDs, they have the extended version of the series finale. The version that Netflix has on streaming was the broadcast cut, which is I think 10-20 minutes shorter. If you watch it online, you miss the epilogue for several of the major characters like Chief Tyrol

Well poo poo, I didn't know this. I watched the Netflix version and thought it SEEMED like some characters just disappeared. Is there a place where I can read extended cut spoilers? I don't have a way to watch the different version.

Unrelated, but Kick-rear end was added a few days ago, and it's great. Over the top crazy violent and fun as hell. Hit Girl loving rules.

And if you like Iron Man, the cartoon they added awhile ago just got a whole bunch of episodes. It's surprisingly solid, with a cel-shaded animation style. It's up and down, not the best cartoon of all time, but way better than I thought it'd be. I dig it.

I've seen a decent amount of Star Trek (mostly from syndicated reruns), but is there any fansite or anything with a good list of must-watch episodes of the original series and TNG? Before anyone suggests just watching all of it, I've tried already and there's just too many episodes, most of which are okay in small doses but not really great for marathoning.

TNG Eps:

Q-Who?
Best of Both Worlds 1/2
Night Terrors
Conundrum
Cause and Effect
Yesterday's Enterprise
Clues

That's off the top of my head...I'm sure there are plenty of other badass ones I'm not thinking of.

CNN and other news outlets are awash right now with stories about users protesting the Netflix price hike, and it's loving retarded. I mean, no one likes a price increase on something they use everyday, but being able to stream 24 hours a day 365 days a year AND get discs for 10 bucks was the deal of the loving century. I've actually been thinking for awhile that it was only a matter of time until this happened, and I'm not surprised at all. In a day and age when people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars a month for iPhone service when all they do is play games and gently caress around with stupid apps, Netflix charging as little as they did was an absolute steal.

And it still is. 8 bucks for streaming is still an amazing deal, considering that it's limited only by how many days and hours there are in a month. Doubling that to get discs is STILL cheaper than most poo poo out there. Hell, Gamefly is 15 bucks a month, and it's disc only.

It's amazing how quickly people get up in arms about poo poo like this, treating it as some sort of inalienable right. Goddamn people are depressing.

I think most of the discussion is stupid because it fails to account for several things:

- How many customers are actually affected? That is to say, how many customers were actually fully utilizing the DVD+Streaming Plan? Because those are the only people that will see this much touted '60% increase'.

- How many customers were paying 10 bucks/month for DVD's+Streaming when all they actually wanted was DVD's? In effect, these people were subsidizing everyone else and now they'll just pay 8 bucks/month for DVD's.

- For some subset of customers, I imagine the 6 dollar price increase in DVD+Streaming will make them realize they weren't really using the DVD option anyhow (think of how many people here mention having had the same DVD for god knows how long, anecdotal to be sure but it could be indicative of a larger trend) and switch to Streaming only, thereby actually reducing their monthly charge by 2 bucks a month, or 20% since that sounds more impressive.

- Lastly, I hate the way that article starts: "Sad, sad, sad. The world�s best deal in TV and movies has just gone away.". Near the end, it also says: "In other words, even at $16, Netflix still gives you more than anyone else." So which is it? Because it can't be both. The best deal in TV and movies didn't go away, it just went up in price, that's all. It's still the best deal you'll find. I also don't get why this is now just an 'average' deal. $16 bucks a month for access to tons and tons of poo poo seems like a pretty awesome deal to me, unless you've only been alive for a couple years and have no memory of what things were like 5 years ago before we even had streaming and Netflix was more expensive for DVD's only.

Yes. 16 bucks a month is still cheap as hell for the value you get. If they'd hiked it to 50 bucks a month I could understand this backlash, but a six dollar increase making people freak out like this is loving retarded.

This isn't newly available, as it's been on there for awhile, but I just watched Gosford Park last night, and it was pretty damned good. For a movie where not a ton happens and it being 2.5 hours long, it went by damned quickly, and it has a shitload of stars in it. I guess that's what makes Altman great, though.

For budding anime fans, if you haven't seen it yet, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is absolutely amazing. If you like comedy, giant robots, and ridiculous over-the-top fight scenes, then this one is for you.

I never noticed that it was on Netflix until now, and I've been burning through the 27 episodes in two days of work.

Not trying to trivialize your opinion, but to each his own. I thought this show was absolutely loving retarded. I watched the first few after tons of people sperged about it, and goddamn is it horrible. I mean, it's basically all the anime cliches in one...Super over the top yelling and overdramatic retarded story, tits and rear end fanservice galore, giant robots, etc. Some people love that poo poo, but man, not me.
