Tatum Girlparts posted:I can't wait for tv networks to understand Netflix and poo poo like it, because right now it's like trying to fuckin tell my grandpa how to print. Considering that the viewership of Breaking Bad more than doubled between last season and this one thanks almost entirely to the show being on Netflix I figure they can only keep their heads buried in the sand for so long.

HOW COULD YOU posted:Somm is a documentary about four guys studying for and taking the masters Sommelier exam, so basically 4 guys who are ludicrously passionate about wine. Not the best doc I've seen but very engrossing. If it doesn't have a scene where they give the guys white wine that's been dyed red and they start spouting a bunch of red wine adjectives or huge detailed explanations of why wine that was bottled during certain phases of the moon are objectively more delicious then no deal.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Season 5 of Doc Martin has been up since the start of october and Netlfix didn't email me? I rated it five stars and had watched all the episodes. God drat it's getting really bad at sending the "new episodes are available" emails. I use What's New On Netflix, if you subscribe to their RSS feed you know everything that's added, every day.

Only God Forgives, Nicolas Winding Refn's newest movie, is on Netflix. If you thought that Drive was polarizing then this will give you a conniption.

Oldstench posted:How does the show reconcile that Hannibal is 60+ at the start of Red Dragon, but a lean, mean 40 in the show? It's a different take on the character and stories, not just in Mikkelson's performance but in general. Freddie Lounds is now a woman and The Tattler is TattleCrime.com, for example.

Otto Von Jizzmark posted:I watched the movie Flight a little while ago which wasnt bad. But was it just a big alcoholics anonymous ad? AA is so ingrained in America's legal system and public consciousness (as well as such an easy tool for writers) that anything remotely critical of it is pretty much never going to show up in a movie. At this point AA is one of those things like defibrilators that you have to accept is used by movies in a way completely divorced from reality.

Vagon posted:Has anyone watched some of the series Supernatural? Apparently it gets good a few seasons in but i'm struggling with the first. A friend of mine desperately wants me in on it, however. Conversely, I loved seasons 3-5 because it balanced Monster of the Week shows with actual serialized storytelling. The first season is kind of rough but once it hits its groove it's roughly on par with X-Files only with fantasy instead of sci-fi. It does have a truly terrible fanbase, though the fact that later seasons actively mocks them makes up for it.

I hated Iron Sky. Half the jokes are ______ Movie-level "hey look we made a reference to a thing isn't that funny?" only even worse because thanks to crowdfunding it took them years to actually release the movie so you get a bunch of stale references to Sarah Palin and the iPad. Iron Sky has a great premise and does absolutely nothing with it.

The compositions are fantastic on their own, but the way the movie uses them just takes it to a whole other level. -haunting, intense music as poo poo Goes Down- "...run!" -man flees for his life in terror as chipper, upbeat violin music plays-

wormil posted:I know it isn't entirely Netflix fault but their selection continues to degrade. If it weren't for a few tv series I would probably drop the service. I spend way more time on Amazon now. People have been saying this for about as long as the service has existed but I still never run out of good things to watch v  vTotally TWISTED posted:It's unfortunate because I get the impression that Amazon is using streaming as a loss leader right now and at the same time Netflix is getting hosed by all the media companies jacking up their rates + open internet/bandwidth costs. It feels like it's not as bad as it was a few years ago when everybody was trying to make their own streaming service, but Amazon snapping up exclusivity for shows is definitely getting to be a noticeable pain in the rear end with all the holes its making in Netflix's television lineup.

Spoils of Babylon is less than two hours long altogether and is the kind of show where you'll be able to tell pretty much right off the bat whether or not it's your thing, give it a shot. I was sold just on Will Ferrell bookending each episode as a cross between Garth Marenghi and Orson Welles.

Supernatural is basically The X-Files only with mythology and monsters instead of conspiracies and science, brotherly angst instead of sexual tension, and with the serialized storytelling actually being good and having a great arc with a satisfying conclusion instead of being pointless filler that goes nowhere. Also like X-Files it has a great sense of humor.

Inzombiac posted:Hey guys, don't watch Revolution. Two episodes in and I hate everyone in it. Agreed. Dumb premise, boring plot, uninteresting characters, bad effects, and not even bad enough to be a fun hatewatch. Oh and if you're curious the reason why electricity no longer works, which was one of the show's big selling points and which the creators bragged was 100% scientifically accurate, was nanomachines, son.

Snowpiercer loving owns, and it breaks my heart to see people online who complain about modern movies being uncreative or derivative and methodical and and longing for more creative and origial films rejecting Snowpiercer because it doesn't follow a typical story arc or adhere their definition of "science fiction" or because the movie is unrealistic despite being openly fantastic and allegorical.

Captain Lavender posted:I watched Snowpiercer, which I had been eager to since I heard about it. I liked it. It jumped right into the story with minimal unnecessary background info. I haven't read the comic but that weird way of lopsidedly dumping exposition seems to be common in South Korean films, especially in Joon-ho Bong's earlier films like Memories of Murder and The Host. Same with the way that the tone will flip from bleak to funny at the drop of a hat, even in the middle of the same scene.

Captain Lavender posted:I had the same issue. I don't know of anywhere on the planet that would do that to an arm in 7 minutes, so I was under the impression that Earth was cold in a way that we don't even experience. Same thing with the frozen people who were like 150 feet from the tracks. Then later, somewhere in the mountains there's just a cool breeze? It didn't seem expressed very well. At the beginning, they establish "outside = death", and then "oh I guess not". Plus it's a sci-fi supertrain with a perpetual motion machine for an engine, I don't think they ever say how fast they're going but I imagine it would add one hell of a wind chill.

Inzombiac posted:Dang, Snowpiercer was great. The tonal shift after the halfway mark is great and then it collapses on itself. None of the bizzare parts took me out of the movie, somehow they made sense. The Host is by the same director and has the same Korean lead, it's similarly good/weird.

Bob Saget IRL posted:Youre a liar. Its a 1.5 hours of self contragulatory auto fellatio. Most of the actors just seem annoyed that people dont recognize them for their talents by appearance alone like one would a screen actor. Ok maybe its only 1 hour or crap. 30 minutes of it are insightful, but theyre parsed throughout redundant 10 second clips of numerous people explaining the same concepts that are spliced together in a poor effort to keep the film captivating. My appreciation of the doc has gone down immensely after I started listening to Rob Paulsen's podcast and tracking down other voice actor interviews on Nerdist et al because of it and realized that almost every anecdote and conversation the voice actors have in it is one that they have been repeating verbatim for years.

Lamprey Cannon posted:You are in for a tremendous *treat*. For better or worse, the first three episodes are in no way indicative of the quality or tone of the rest of the season. Helix is a terrible show but at least it has the decency to be a fiasco. It's the kind of show that's fun to leave on in the background so you can laugh at all the terrible musical cues and ridiculous piling-on of twist after twist like a second-string LOST knockoff from 2007 and The Rocketeer trying really hard to be gruff while Hiroyuki Sanada is menacingly Asian and the rest of the cast delivers clunky dialogue while consistently making the dumbest decisions possible. I actually laughed out loud when, just when I thought the show couldn't get any stupider, the  spooky ghost girl showed up and then they ended an episode with a montage set to that cover of Mad World was already a punchline half a decade ago.
