This thread is of interest to me. I'll recommend a movie that I was turned onto from the previous thread, Mr Nobody, the storyline is out-there/disjointed but I think the weirdness is worth it. edit: Also a mod should change the thread tag since OP don't know how to OP right. tangy yet delightful has a new favorite as of 22:25 on Nov 26, 2014 |

Trillest Parrot posted:I loved watching David Cross gently caress up exponentially in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. All 12 episodes are on Netflix US and Will Arnett is also in it. It got renewed recently after being off air for a few years. Don't read anything about it, there's spoilers loving everywhere. It really is a great short series, especially if you have some knowledge to get the English-specific jokes.

Forever_Peace posted:Touching the Void - About as intense as survival stories go. Man is left for dead with a broken leg on one of the most treacherous mountains in the world. As for some suggestions for the thread: I have recently started re-watching Dollhouse - the first few episodes seem like the show could be a formulaic no long-term plot show, but if you give it time it opens up into a bit of a sci-fi / dystopian series that wraps up nicely. Joyride sucks mainly because of the whiney kid voices on top of everything else and the one pair of tits can't save it. Anaconda is bad but in a good way, nice to revisit the 90s with J-Lo "acting". Snakes on a Plane is superior of course but hey.

Gaunab posted:Snakes on a plane is inferior to Anaconda. Len posted:Wasn't like the entire first season hooker of the week episodes and then you get that dvd only episode that shows a dystopian future. And then it was announced that there wasn't going to be a season 3 and season 2 was interesting just for it to never return? I think after the first 3-4 episodes the extended storyline starts to develop, albeit under the guise of hooker of the week episodes so I can certainly see where you're coming from. The end of S1 has a "future" sort of episode and then you have S2 + it's final episode on Netflix (no idea about the DVD only thing since I've only seen it on netflix). I do wish they'd had a way to do a S3 though, you're totally right that S2 is better than S1 and I think that trend could have continued and wrapped up better with a third installment.

Rolo posted:I liked The Interview and James Franco was my favorite because he's funny. It is a stupid movie, but it is also funny, well worth the price of Netflix. Especially when you're living with someone to share the cost and then you compare that to the cost of a movie ticket. Definitely not a movie worth seeing in theaters.

Sleeveless posted:That's pretty much the entire point, it's satirizing modern-day police militarization and the ubiquitousness of white collar crime just like how the original satirized the crime and politics of the 80s. As much as I prefer the original and wish the remake had been inventive enough to tell a story without cribbing from the "established universe" I still think 2014 worked and agree with Sleeveless' points.

Sleeveless posted:terrible digital squibs and obvious compositing and CGI. This is what put the nail in the coffin on the movie for me. I can handle the horrible script, and the poorly laid out scenes/action because my expectation is "lovely action movie". Note that my expectation is not "good action movie callback to the 80s" here. But then the effects make it look like a made for TV movie and that is a line that, when crossed, just instantly ruins it for me. If I want to watch TV I'll watch The A-Team re-runs.

Had no problems watching GoT at our friends house on their Now account tonight. Seems like the servers were good or we got lucky.

wormil posted:I thought they might convert old ratings into thumbs but nah, I guess we start over from scratch. It seems Netflix wants to follow Youtube into dumbing down and fixing things until they break. I think I still have the stars on PS3, will have to check tomorrow at this point but that's unfortunate if this is a full fledged roll out and not some pilot program bullshit.

Rough Lobster posted:I actually thought Westworld was incredibly overwrought, kinda dumb and took itself too seriously. I kept having flashes to Battlestar Galactica while watching it. It definitely has great production values and all the titties and stuff that goes along with an HBO show, but I still found it lacking. One of the reasons was I found it incredibly hard to suspend my disbelief pretty much at all times. People invent sentient humanlike AI's and house them in undying and undetectable human bodies and they use this for...the world's biggest theme park? Seeing more of the society that made THAT choice would be infinitely more interesting than the amusement park itself, but sadly we never get to leave the park and see the outside world. If you saw the final episode of Westworld you should be excited for season 2.

om nom nom posted:What should I watch on HBO? The current options have already been spoken for but as someone that likes to watch good movies but doesn't have the time/$$ to spend on seeing stuff on the big screen I find that HBO is awesome for catching at least 2 solid new release level movies a month that Netflix won't have available.
