Someone asked about time travel movies, and I think Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel was decent. And Edge Of Tomorrow is basically Groundhog Day with mech suits. But both are on HBO GO only

Also, it's probably worth adding sources like https://canistream.it for finding streamable movies/tv across several platforms. Though I'm sure there are better ways.

Doctor Butts posted:Desperado is an awesome movie and everyone should watch it before its gone. Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi trilogy is great, also has these companion short movies (in the DVD extras  ) called 10 Minute Film School that give great insight into his process. They're all on youtube for a 90's blast from the past.

The Robocop remake had impossible shoes to fill and I think they knew that going in and still made it tepid and unremarkable. As was said before, it introduced some interesting ideas that then went nowhere.

NESguerilla posted:I watched half of the first half of the first episode of HOC probably 5 times over the last few years. I don't know why I never get around to watching it. I'm sure I'll like it, but the premise doesn't interest me that much. One of these days though... The show is the very definition of slow burn because it has the advantage of not being beholden to ratings or week-to-week cliffhanger pressure because all the episodes of each season get released at once. I don't really even like it that much, but it's consistently solid if difficult to follow. Basebf555 posted:Elephant Man it is. Bradley Cooper was on 60 minutes last week after the Oscars and he said that this is the movie that made him want to become an actor. He also does a Broadway play version which is supposed to be excellent.

wafflesnsegways posted:I love the French connection. Those car chases are GOAT, and they become kind of terrifying to watch when you learn that they were shot without permits with real, non-movie drivers on the road with them. It's based on a true story, too, and the true story is completely unbelievable. Like I get that in 2015 the 100 pounds or so of heroin doesn't seem like that much compared to an Average Michael Bay Movie but in 1970 that represents the entire heroin supply for the eastern US. The actual cops involved tracked the shipment and sat in a dark basement for 3 days with loaded shotguns waiting for the pickup; They almost killed a janitor. red19fire fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Boywhiz88 posted:It's very well shot, doesn't overly rely on quick takes, and if you can view it in 3D, I think it's one of the most artistically realized uses of 3D I've seen. Yes, there were some making-of trailers you could probably find on youtube that show the insane camera rigs they used. Its like the only movie that really needs to be seen in imax 3d. The director even said his intent was to turn ultra-violence into art.

I like Nick Thune so I might actually watch that. There's also Bad Milo, where Ken Marino has some kind of animal that emerges from his bowels to murder people. It's pretty unbearable.

Lycus posted:Yeah, the plot just didn't go anywhere fun and crazy this season like previous seasons did. So though I much enjoyed previous seasons, I thought Season 3 was boring. I thought it had potential for Frank to meet his match in the Russian president, and Congress to collectively realize they'd been played hard, but none of that really went anywhere, at least until I gave up around episode 5. Stamper is great as always, but I just couldn't weather the rest of the show.

Blood Ties is pretty good so far. This cast is out of control, everyone is in this movie. Herc is a criminal, Marlo Stanfield plays a cop, dogs & cats living together, the world's all topsy-turvy.

Yaws posted:Tusk was made for $5 million and still didn't make money. Smith is still getting work somehow. IMDB estimates a $2.8MM budget, with a Gross of $1.8MM, which is even funnier. It's really funny if you've read his autobiography. His conclusion based on his career is 'gently caress everyone in hollywood, I'll do it myself because I now have a fanbase that supports me as an artist and will buy pretty much any bullshit I put out.'

Rome is a better Serious Show than Spartacus, but Spartacus is amazing for scenery chewing and over-the-top sex & violence. Also think of the protagonists in Rome as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of Caesar. Ray Stevenson

david_a posted:Occasionally the video itself is just bad. Dredd had weird problems with stuff being doubled, like they didn't do the 24 -> 30 FPS conversion correctly. Sounds similar to what you're describing. Dredd was shot in 3d, I think it like randomly adds a right or left frame to the normal track, or poorly blends them, something like that. It came up in the thread last year. They Came Together is like the smarter version of whatever Romantic Movie was trying to be. It uses every romcom cliche, but isn't nearly as heavy-handed. Can't decide if I like it or not. vv: that's it, it's Wet Hot American Rom Com. red19fire fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Apr 25, 2015 |

That Works posted:Any opinion about Turn on Netflix? Watched the 1st 2 episodes and it seems decent so far. The story is interesting enough so far and the acting is passable for a TV series I guess? I really like Turn. However, I'm fascinated by the Revolutionary War spy stuff, and a big part of the season takes place in my hometown area (Morristown NJ). It's kind of slow, but it's well acted and a decent slow burn.

Million Ghosts posted:I use subtitles for everything because modern sound mixing loving sucks. Crank the volume to hear everyone speaking in whispers and end up shaking the whole apartment when something goes boom. I like Tom Segura's Completely Normal. Has anyone else watched Dawg Fight? It's a pretty brutal documentary about backyard fighting in Perrine county, Miami. The violence is fairly hard to watch and the boxing technique is pretty awful.

Banshee Season 1 is on Amazon Prime and I heartily recommend it as better than the sum of its parts. B-television on a premium channel, over-the-top sex & violence, acting quality all over the place, but it's still awesome because you get the sense of the actors and film makers are having fun.

LogisticEarth posted:Speaking of Justified and westerns, the 4th season of Hell on Wheels was added on Netflix recently. It's generally a solid western frontier story with a good dash of Civil War aesthetic thrown in. It's highly dramatized/fictionalized of course, but all in all I think the quality of the show has maintained itself. Sons of Anarchy is melodrama for dads who buy Harley(tm) branded apparel so that people know wherever they go that they own a Harley(tm) and only ride it on weekends if it's sunny out or rev it in their garage once in a while during the week if upper management gives them poo poo about their TPS reports. I slogged through it and besides the gaping plot holes my favorite parts were whenever they had to edit The gently caress out of chase scenes to give the illusion of speed to these modified tractor engines on wheels. I like to compare it to Spartacus, which is actors having fun chewing scenery with a terrible script, whereas SOA is actors chewing scenery dead serious with a terrible script.

We were talking about double features, does watching one specifically for an actor count? Or are there other fun ones to like, see their range? I watched Black Sails on Starz Play, then Vexed on Netflix. Toby Stephens is solid.

Enos Cabell posted:I binged through Narcos in a few days, and need to see more of Padilha's work now. Elite Squad: Enemy Within is on Netflix, but Elite Squad isn't. Can I watch Enemy Within first, or should I wait and track down Elite Squad? The first one helps to flesh out a little bit more of the second, but it's not required. You can watch the first one using Hola set to Brazil, I believe.

Starks posted:narcos is very good but very weirdly paced. they basically zoom through like 10 years in the first five episodes and then the time progression gets way slower. Its almost like they planned for a 1 season show and then halfway through they learned they were gonna do another one. I hope they don't try to drag it out longer than one more season. It really would have worked as a one-season biopic, it's not long after the end of the 1st season when Escobar dies in a rooftop gun battle with US Marines. Also no mention of his man-eating hippos on his estate, just dumb birds. Though a scene of Pablo throwing someone to be eaten by a hippo would be unbelievable, it absolutely happened.They've found millitary-clothing-clad arms and boots containing human feet in the stomach of one of his hippos.

Inspector Hound posted:I just watched a bunch of Nicolas Cage movies. The best one on there now besides Lord of War is probably Snake Eyes, there are a couple of shots in it that are so long and complex I had to rewind them to see where they started. Even if you don't like the movie the scene where he walks into the stadium is awesome and basically why they did the whole thing. The Outsider (?) is almost worth watching because Cages character loses an eye part way through and just squints his eye for (most of) the rest of it I saw snake eyes at a drive in and can confirm it owns, but also drive ins are the best format to see any movie. I want to buy a drive in and somehow hook Netflix up to it. Drive in.

In case you guys were wondering, the new Anjelah Johnson comedy special can safely be filed under 'catchphrase comedian.' I thought I'd give a comedienne I've never heard of a chance. She makes this weird 'ooh ooh' sound to punctuate every sentence for the first 10 minutes (where I turned it off), and I can also confirm she makes the same sound/punctuation in various podcast interviews in to support the release of this special in the past few weeks. OOH OOH (throat clucking sound)

speshl guy posted:Doc and Marty are cursed to forever be drawn toward each other and travel through time in every possible alternate reality. In the span of one night on October 26, 1985, every possible Marty traveled to another timeline at once, and infinite iterations of Lorraine and George were greeted the next morning by a changeling Marty: a strange boy they had never known but identical to their son in every way. speshl guy posted:I suggest checking out Source Code This is now making me  because Source Code does the same thing. You have this school teacher who after Jake Gyllenhaal's helicopter pilot takes over his consciousness suddenly stops a terrorist attack, gets the girls, and rides off into the sunset. But he doesn't know anything about this school teacher's life, and to everyone around him he's suddenly a badass. Like he can't just show up at an army base and say he's a pilot, and he's probably not too hot at teaching social studies. So what does he do like a week after the movie ends?Seconding that a 'side effects of time travel' movie/documentary would be fascinating.

speshl guy posted:yeah, but also the implication from the ending was that every time they loaded up the program to send Jake Gyllenhaal into that dude's memory, they copied and pasted a new universe into existence, each of which also had their own shady government source code organization within it making new universes ad infinitum. Also, every time the Source Code succeeds, the government people have no idea that it worked since he's stopped a terrorist attack before it happens. So there's multiple iterations of Gyllenhaal's consciousness inhabiting people in the 'final' world, right? That's what I thought, anyway.

Slandible posted:Broadchurch season 2 stuff I was also confused by most of the season. The trial was pretty unexpected and completely outrageous. I'm sure trials are a bit different than they are in the US, but just completely throwing out the confession and the defense building a case only on speculation the entire time is idiotic. The old case Hardy was on was uninteresting too, I never felt like I really cared about it. Uhhg, why didn't they just convict Joe and have a new case for season two? Or at least make his prior case better, not some half bit side story. I chalked a lot of what I didn't like about Broadchurch to not understanding the British legal system. However, the defense's argument against the cell phone & laptop would have been shredded by even a law school dropout. The argument was even though there's a burner cell phone purchased by Joe, only called by Joe's cell, and emails to the kid's email sent and signed by Joe, somehow there's reasonable doubt since they can't prove that Joe had the phone/laptop in hand when the calls/texts/emails are sent. As if he's being framed by the WORLD'S GREATEST PICKPOCKET/CAT BURGLAR.

I don't think it was glorifying Buzzfeed, Buzzfeed's kinda there so the film can point to the dire state of Internet news, that a website known for clickbait and listicles, was one of the better news sources for this story. This was incredible to watch in real time, I should probably give the doc a shot. I just remember a lot of redditors getting hyped up about THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO CATCH REAL TERRORISTS WE'RE GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE THE COLLECTIVE HIVEMIND IS BETTER THAN THE FBI BECAUSE WE'VE ALL SEEN CSI ON NETFLIX and a lot of screen caps from the marathon with faces circled in mspaint. And like hours later there were a ton of press releases from the police saying pretty much 'congrats, idiots, you found off duty cops'.
