I've only seen the first episode of Danger 5, but I love it. It's like Team America meets Darkplace. There are definitely some slower parts, but there's a lot of hits too and I lost my poo poo when their boss has an eagle head.

I just watched 3/4 of that poo poo punchline snark fest. gently caress that movie. It does not take a wild turn. It does not hide a secret hilarity. It's a script assembled by tweets.

best review on Netflix:

I sort of agree. This movie was for people not me. It was well directed and it actually had more of a script than half the poo poo that gets released, but I thought it was awful. I did watch the whole thing because I hate myself.

Seriously, I was screen-grabbing stills the whole way through. I feel really bad that no matter what Paul Verhoeven did in his entire career making films in America, people still never loving caught the net. I'd honestly place Showgirls above RoboCop, and just below Starship Troopers in terms of his best American films. It's that good. (Context: Total Recall is unbeatable, basically. He should have just retired after that.)

I would hate Troopers so much less if he hadn't used that title.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle is the correct answer here. I don't know if it's streaming anywhere but just find it and watch it any way possible.

Read the book while you're at it.

God what a good and bleak movie. Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle at their absolute best. Peter Yates directed this five years after Bullitt and ten years before he directed Krull.

Alot of people talk up Shadow of the Vampire; is it actually a scary movie or what exactly is it and is it really worth a watcH?

Willam Dafoe is great in it as Max Shreck, and it's got Malkovich as Murnau the director. It's a weird but cool movie.

A second season of Cutthroat Kitchen was just added. I normally don't watch any cooking shows, but I like this one.

Synopsis: "Four competing chefs are handed $25,000 and can use the money to either help themselves or sabotage their rivals."

Stuff like: How much of your money are you willing to give up to replace all the meat from one of your opponents with spam?

The only cooking show I've ever liked.

Are there any good documentaries on Amazon or Netflix on creativity and/or creative people. I'm trying to stay productive with my own pursuits, and watching documentaries about others really helps fuel my work ethic.

A few examples:

Beauty is Embarrassing
The Devil & Daniel Johnston
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats
Gonzo
Bukowski: Born Into This
The Scream Factory
The American Scream
Birth of the Living Dead
Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns
Greenwich Village: Music that Defined a Generation
No Direction Home
Exit Through The Gift Shop

I'd prefer a concentration on an individual, and their medium doesn't have to be specific, just something about creativity and the act of creating.

I liked Drive because it's one of the only movies out there that felt sort of close to No Country For Old Men in it's tone. If that post makes sense to anyone I'd welcome recommendations along those lines.
