The new pricing tiers for Netflix are kind of stupid. Like I can kind of understand the screen sharing I guess, but the 7.99 only lets you watch standard def is pretty bullshit. Considering most all tv's these days are HD.

wa27 posted:If the alternative is no lower pricing tier (like it was before), it still seems reasonable. There's lots of people on lovely DSL/sattelite or with bandwidth caps that have to watch everything in SD. Why should they pay the same to receive an inferior product? I kind of feel like they should just take the 7.99 tier away. Just do 9.99 and throw in the sd/hd option.

I still think season 1 is really good. It's because it stuck with the original idea of the season. It was about a family trying to stay together. All the other stuff was a big part of it but it came back to a family trying to make it work. The problem with the later seasons is that they get to caught up in their own lore and lose sight of the original idea. Next thing you know there are 10 different stories from 10 different genres going on and none of them get wrapped up. They can't just stick to an idea and see it to its logical conclusion.

21 jump street worked because in the first 5 minutes or so they look at the audience and go guys look. We know that we are a remake of an old show that most of our intended audience has never heard of. We get it. Please just stick with us. Then it proceeds to just be fun and funny.

You know when it initially happens it isn't really funny and it kind of obnoxious, but the fact that there isn't any music sting and they just slowly get up and continue to be serious about the court case brings it to being really goddamn hilarious.

ElMudo posted:I watched the first episode of Powerless on Hulu and it was fun and campy enough that I'll probably keep watching. I'm the exact opposite. I'd much rather they take themselves seriously and just embrace being a melodramatic low budget sci fi show than a melodramatic low budget sci fi show that winks at the audience the whole time to tell you they think this is lame as well.

The ending to Love was bullshit. I hope they expand on it a bit in season 2 because I did actually enjoy the show. Paul Rust becomes a loving rear end in a top hat near the end and he still gets everything he wanted.

Erebus posted:The first two seasons of Lucha Underground just got added to Netflix. I imagine most people already know whether or not they're willing to watch pro wrestling, but it's worth saying that LU isn't the bloated three-hour mess of steroid hulks punching each other that most people know from the modern WWE style. It's a tighter-paced, more story-driven show with better cinematography. (The wrestlers still can't act, but I think that's part of the charm.) It also embraces a lot of the silliness and fantasy that companies like WWE have tried to leave behind. I think what makes Lucha Underground work is that everything is literal. Drago isn't just a guy in a dragon mask. He is literally an ancient dragon. Aerostar doesn't just look like some inter-dimensional space traveler he is literally an inter-dimensional space traveler. He is also a rocket ship. Lucha Underground rules.

They used to do it where if you watched more than one episode in a row it would skip the intro. It sucked if the show had cold opens though.

fishtobaskets posted:One Punch Man got added to netflix. I'd never seen it but heard good things. Halfway through the first episode and it's pretty great It's a very fun show. You pretty much have to look at it as any other battle anime show but where they just cut the bullshit out and the hero knows he is the strongest dude in the world. There isn't any scene of him wondering if he can beat someone. He doesn't have to train for 10 episodes. He just fights and wins.

I thought Jessica jones was goddamn awful. It was like a 13 year old watched a noir in school for he first time and decided to try and make their own. Daredevil at least embraces the silliness of Daredevil. I thought season 2 was pretty decent all things considered.

The original Bill Nye worked because it was a low budget kids show that had a homemade diy feel. It kept your attention was silly and fun and you came out learning very basic scientific ideas. This new one feels like he is above his intellectual threshold and just seems like an empty loveless slog.

Creed was loving fantastic. The script is a good solid script, but the movie shines in directing and editing. Not to mention the training montage with the dirtbikers was just beautiful and perfect. I loved the running theme of respecting the past but making the future the way you want it to be. I also love that in a lot of shots you always see Apollo in the background in some way because he can't not be shadowed by his past. I really loved that movie a lot.

I was like, drat, this is this guy's second film? drat that shot too after creed walks out to Tupac, and in the same shot the camera goes to the stage and we get a full on wrestling entrance. That was so cool.

Like the fact that creed isn't seen as a modern classic is actually a shame to me. It's so rare these days to actually be able to see that there is an actual film maker behind the camera and not studio executives. Like you could feel the passion. Not to mention the music is great.
