I didn't watch Narcos when it premiered but I checked it out this week and I think it's a pretty good series. My one beef with it is that I think the actor who plays the primary protagonist isn't nearly as good an actor as the rest of the cast. I'm looking forward to the second season, and I hope they continue to reference Escobar's zoo because it's pretty hilarious that the hippos escaped after the zoo was abandoned and have established themselves in Columbia. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27905743 After that I checked out Narco Cultura and it depressed the gently caress out of me. I remember the panic surrounding gangsta rap in the 90's but everyone knew 99% of that was bullshit and those dudes were just entertainers looking to make a book. On the other hand, with Corridos you know that stuff is real and I bet any poseurs would be handled by the cartels' sicarios on principle. The narco graveyard was really amazing, I think it would be a good setting for an action movie but you'd have to be crazy to film a movie in Sinaloa central.

Finished the NSU: German History X series last night, I can't remember the last time I was so outraged by the end of a movie or series like that. Really, really worth watching. When the lady terrorist turned herself in near the end for identification and then refused to talk, is it because she knew she'd be protected by the national security guys? I had the feeling that she was offered a deal by the feds because they were trying to put the whole matter to bed. Filthy Hans fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Aug 18, 2016 |

So far I've watched Check out The New World, it is both a crime movie and a violent movie. It's excellent, the only caveat is that it's a subbed Korean movie and if you don't like subs you might want to pass.

Rectify season 3 is up on Netflix and it's still arguably the best show on tv, period. The guy who plays Teddy is outstanding this season. Also, good news: season 4 is already greenlit.

BisterdDave posted:Just finished watching The Invitation, really great at building up the suspense. One question though is what happened to the woman who left early? Are we to assume she was killed? Hell yes she was killed, the dickhead cult boyfriend knew what was going down and distracted the protagonist so the cult cell leader could murder her unobserved. They couldn't risk her calling the cops because she was really unnerved by what she saw.

wa27 posted:Just finished it; you were right. Season 2 was kind of odd, though. I had the same reaction to Ep 7, adding a supernatural element in a show that doesn't need it is usually pretty dire, but the episode was funny and thoughtful enough otherwise so I'll give it a pass. As for the plane, it was clear that there wasn't any gold on the plane and the German, the mayor, and the Dirt Sharks were all just greedy nighthawk scum; they were so myopic about the myth that they never realized the crash site's real value was cultural, not commercial. Also, the wanted poster with a photo of the real Simon & Garfunkel was comedy gold.

Although Hannibal has always been about style, that last season was pure style over substance. Still would of loved a season 4. The only idea worse than recapping the awful Hannibal movie over half a tv season was adding elements from the even worse Hannibal Rising

veni veni veni posted:Is there a streaming service that doesn't have a horrible interface? I think they take it for granted that people will use their services regardless of how lovely their interfaces are. I think Amazon is worse than Netflix on PS4. The video quality differences are pretty noticeable on PS4 however, at least for me. The Netflix picture is degraded far more often than Amazon, and it doesn't cache nearly as much as Amazon does either. I'm on FiOS and get a bit over 25 MB/s consistently on my notebook, I assume the PS4 is similar so the lower bandwidth isn't on my end. I assume Netflix has to compress their output more because they have more users and a larger library, but the end result is Netflix often looks like crap.

veni veni veni posted:Speaking of HBO now, I just watched I am Legend for the first time since it came out and it's better than I remember even if it's pretty cliche. Man, does the CGI drag that movie down though. It's one of those movies that uses cgi even when it doesn't need to and it's really distracting. I much prefer the practical effects from Omega Man, cheesy though they may be. I also like everything else about the movie more than I Am Legend, but I will say that Will Smith did a better job than his own average.

I had never heard of Too Late before but I saw it on Netflix new releases and it's a crime noir starring John Hawkes so I had to watch it. It's pretty drat good, a 1 1/2 hour movie shot in 5 long-take single scenes (not all are true long-takes but they're made to look that way). There's some very interesting camera work and some of the dialogue is great and the rest sucks. It's quite Tarantino-esque, with long takes, irreverent conversation, a non-sequential storyline, and a well-done gritty feel. The first segment is by far the weakest because it's poorly scripted and the actors aren't as good as everyone else in the movie, and if you can make it through that the rest of the movie is much better. Watch Too Late if you like John Hawkes, excellent camera work, Jeff Fahey, lady butts, Robert Forster, and crime noir in general Don't watch Too Late if you detest movies that ape Tarantino's work too much or don't have the patience for a series of 15-20 minute long takes Filthy Hans fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Dec 24, 2016 |

I gave the Sens8 Christmas Spectacular a whirl. It's a sanctimonious as ever, especially early on with one of the most obvious straw man bigots I've ever seen in film (the homophobic student). The hacktivist and the cop are still the weak links in the cast. The good aspects of the show are still there too: fantastic filming in many vibrant settings, clever explorations of the show's central conceit, and some wit out of parts of the dialog. There are also some well-done brawls with all eight of the sensates throwing down. In short, if you already like the series I don't think you'll be disappointed, but if you didn't like it before you'll want to avoid it at all costs.

I just checked it out, it's unusual to say the least. It's ok, but I really prefer The Trust, starring Nic Cage and Elijah Wood. It's in the same vein but more low-key and more deadpan humor. It's also on Netflix.

Rampage: President Down is a real bummer. It doesn't have any of the gleeful nihilistic charm of the first one, it's more of a dreary, uninspired sequel like #2 was. The main guy is too good an actor to waste on this franchise and everyone else in the cast acted so poorly they looked out of place in a loving Uwe Boll film.

Blind Rasputin posted:I just watched it but I was unclear as to whether a large body of water would stop the it follows following thing? Like, if it just continues to walk towards the host like they say, then why not get on a plane and leave. As well, it doesn't seem to be very good at opening doors so why not just like armor up a house and have someone slot you the food and supplies (itc tampons I guess?) you need. No, water wouldn't stop it. The demon didn't jump in the water because it was smart enough to grasp the nature of the swimming pool trap immediately. By chucking all the electric devices at the protagonist it was both disarming the trap and harming her. Once knocked in the pool, it was not only fine but also a better swimmer than the protagonist. They were able to harm it with bullets but couldn't kill it because the demon is immortal. As for doors, it proved it's strong enough to basically batter through anything, given enough time and a lack of better options. The basic conceit of the film is that the demon is slow but it never stops coming for you, so whether you whore yourself out, fly around the world like a playboy, ride the rails like a hobo, take a job on a deep-sea oil rig, or even stow away on a rocket bound for the ISS, it's only a matter of time before the demon catches up with you. You stay on the move until you die. You could keep it up for decades but you'll always be harried and never have a home.
