Just Another Love Story An incredible Danish neo-noir that I never see mentioned, but is my favorite Netflix stumbled upon movie. I think I've recommended this a bunch of times in the old thread too. Also Starship Troopers just went up not long ago. Yeah the original, good one directed by Paul Verhoeven. Some TV show recommendations: Southcliffe I'm really loving this trend of short, British, and incredibly depressing Netflix original series that are coming out. This one is set in a small English town and shows the aftermath of, and events leading up to, a spree shooting. The Fall Gillian Anderson and handsome, ruggedly creepy new face Jamie Dornan give incredible performances.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Going to recommend Southcliffe . It's about a spree shooting in a small English town (this isn't a spoiler), though most of the focus is on the aftermath and how people come to terms with everything that happens. It's got a great cast and the entire thing wraps up in 4 episodes, so definitely give the first episode a shot and see if it hooks you. But seriously it's really good, and a fantastic example of storytelling done completely through showing and not telling. stickyfngrdboy posted:Last time I looked I had the top rated comment on Netflix for this, and I only wrote it because every single review before mine was negative, and I didn't like that. Is a very good thing to watch.

Whoah whoah whoah, what's with the X-Files poo poo talking earlier in this thread? What's going on in here guys  The X-Files is a Good Show, and it holds up very well. Is every single episode good, of course not, but put it up against any single camera non-sitcom that did 20+ episodes per season and it will more than stand its ground. And it's filled with amazing episodes, which people have been recommending for the last few pages. The number of episodes does make it difficult to marathon watch, so not gonna argue there. That's the one aspect where the time period works against it, no one watched TV that way back then. A couple more suggestions for good episodes that can be watched whenever, Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man from Season 4 gets into William B. Davis' awesome character, and Unusual Suspects from Season 5 is the origins of the Lone Gunmen.

forever whatever posted:So that X-Files/COPS crossover in season 7 is a pretty dope standalone episode for anyone interested in standalone episodes. Cool to see that it was one of the Vince Gilligan ones.

Cognac McCarthy posted:Mama is an interesting, disturbing, and genuinely sympathetic villain in a lot of ways, probably thanks to Lena Headey pretty much always playing that type of role really well. It could be that if they had a different actress it would've come across as much more misogynistic. In a similar vein does the original script have Judge Anderson turning the tables on Wood Harris when he fantasizes about hurting her? Because that owns and definitely lifts the movie above misogynistic right when you think it's going to go there. But yeah I didn't see Dredd as particularly misogynistic, especially given the great scene you put in spoilers.

I didn't realize how many movies Nicolas Cage has been in in the past few years. Good lord, he really did have some bills that needed paying didn't he. Joe looks like an interesting departure from that run though, he's at least making a slightly different facial expression in the title image. Or maybe it's just the beard. Either way it's an improvement from the "somewhere between constipated and concerned about the IRS" that seems to be his new norm. Come on Nic, you're an award winning actor, you can still emote! The box art on some of these is like a parody at this point.    What the hell is even going on with Rage.

NESguerilla posted:What is the ad that's trying to copy the Harlem Shake fad? Twix maybe? Whatever it is I'm boycotting then for life . Do obnoxious ads actually work in some way, overall? Like, the majority of people must just not care enough to have the kind of visceral, repulsed reaction you'd expect, or else big companies would go out of business all the time with the dumb poo poo they do. I still refuse to buy or even look at anything to do with Old Navy, and this is based entirely on a particularly horrific TV campaign that has to have been over for at least several years. It's permanently burned into my brain as a negative association though.

Watch Harakiri. Although I'm biased because that's one of the few I've seen of that list. But it's REALLY good.

True Detective 1 and 2 were both excellent in different ways. They felt so different though that there was really no connection other than name.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Could I ask what you enjoyed so much about TD2? I guess that's the best way I could describe what I liked so much about it, it was just compulsively interesting. It's the kind of show where if it were on Netflix I'd have blown through it all in just a couple days.
