I watched Stories We Tell tonight thanks to the Good Movie Dump in the OP. It maybe strains just a little too hard, but I thought it was mostly terrific. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytq4VZ2Nyxg

The Robocop remake is something I wish was just like 10% better. There's a lot of interesting grist there, but it's a big lump dramatically.

Netflix stuff for March. Kind of a light month, but Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt looks funny, and I've been meaning to see Life Itself and The Man With The Iron Fists. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is probably a big get, as well.quote:March 1

Maxwell Lord posted:What's weird is that they never really acknowledge the elephant in the room- that they're primarily competing to voice trailers, but trailers these days rarely use voiceovers. It's not a huge deal because the plot still works with that knowledge, and it's mostly about sexism in society as demonstrated by this particular industry (and by "voices" in general, with a nice sidebar on the vocal fry / "sexy baby" trend), but I also think they could have fit it in the plot, which makes it curious that they didn't. I liked the movie too, but this plays into some of the weird tone problems it has. It takes some elements very seriously, then goes for broad, doofy satire in moments like the big ending. Ken Marino and Rob Corrdry feel like they're acting in completely different movies.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Last night on Amazon I watched CineD favorite Punishment Park. It's a pseudo documentary from 1971 about an alternate history (though not that alternate) where radical protesters and draft dodgers are rounded up and given prison sentences by civilian tribunals but can defer their sentences to try their luck in a punishment park. It's mad dope yall. Co-signed, it's the rawest movie I've seen in a long time.

I'm just a little torn on Force Majeure — the premise is interesting enough that I might've liked a deeper dive instead of just a series of punchlines, even if the joke is a good one.

Depending on your taste, you could try Mubi. It's a curated rotation of 30 movies, with a new one every day. It leans more towards the indie/obscure, but it does give the option to download for offline viewing. $5.

I know it's not their fault but the catalog is now like 85% B-class documentaries/documercials, horror sequels, and occasionally a good movie or TV show. It seems like they hardly add anything older than 30 years ago to the streaming catalog anymore. You could borrow someone's WatchTCM password.
