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 finished Wilfred. I thought it ended pretty well; the last season had a few places where it gets slow but being a directionless former dog owner myself it completely crushed me when Wilfred died, like I'm about to tear up writing this. It was sort of bittersweet that Ryan was just insane the whole time. It really couldn't have turned out to be anything else, and him being able to "keep" the Wilfred hallucination is a kind of twisted happy ending. Crank is as close to Grand Theft Auto: The Movie as we'll probably ever get.

NESguerilla posted:I really enjoy the Vice doc series on HBO and would like any recommendations along the same lines that are available on Netflix or Hulu. Just like, world news stuff/environmental/cultural. Maybe things you aren't likely to hear much about in detail through major news outlets. I know there's a lot of options out there but any recommendations would be appreciated. I hate Anthony Bourdain, but his stuff on Netflix (there's two or three different shows) is pretty similar on tone to Vice. Also Departures, and some of the drug documentaries like Drugs Inc and Breaking the Taboo (The Union and it's successor/sequel Culture High also come to mind, but they both sort of fall apart toward the end). I haven't seen Bulletproof Salesman, about the international and dealer, but that also might be what you're looking for. The Animatrix is up too, relive the anime you forced yourself to watch because you thought it would give you deeper insight into Revolutions. edit: this is all Netflix Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 22:33 on May 3, 2015 |

pahuyuth posted:I think it just premiered over the weekend, but has anyone dipped their toes into Sense8 on Netflix? Created by the Wachowski siblings and J. Michael Straczynski it looks like something along the lines of The Tomorrow People. It's about a group of unrelated people spread across the world who have access to each others minds and bodies; there were some cool ideas like a character being in multiple fights in different locations at the same time in the trailer I think.

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

NESguerilla posted:There is a weird scene where it shows a crotch scar for a second. I don't think it's discussed any more than that in the movie, but I believe in the book it goes into more detail about how he had his dick cut off at some point. I haven't read it though. This is loving bizarre. Yesterday i randomly remembered the last time this thread had this very discussion and went hunting for this scene, only to realize as i scanned through that i had forgotten like 90% of this movie. How far in is it?

Terrorist Fistbump posted:These are two of the tricks Netflix uses to keep their content looking fresh so subscribers who are iffy about keeping the service have something to look forward to. It's similar to their notoriously poor treatment of popular documentaries and classic films: they disappear and reappear at random so that their service appears 'curated' instead of simply being a library with reliable long-term access for stuff you can't watch right now but will get to eventually. Content rights have something to do with it too, probably. It's all content rights. Also, I worked for Netflix, don't bother calling in and requesting stuff like that get fixed; it just annoys the poo poo out of the agents who have no control over the content (and don't actually have a way of "requesting" content or "taking feedback," Netflix knows you want all the seasons of show X and gives the agents a tracker that dumps your request into the aether).

Netflix has commentary on some of their originals, check the audio/language tracks! veni veni veni posted:One movie I've always wondered about the ending of is Source code. It really seemed like it was supposed to end at the freeze and al of a sudden there's 5 extra minutes of sappy poo poo. Source Code would have made an absolutely awesome reverse Quantum Leap-esque TV series. Each disaster is prevented, freeing from/keeping the dude in the capsule, free dude rides off into the sunset, capsule dude is ready for the next disaster. Build on the concept from there; an episode where he prevents a disaster or attack inside the facility and assumes the identity of his own CO or a mole inside the organization comes to mind right away. I loved that movie. It fits with the rules the movie sets up that if he prevents the disaster, he gets to go on in that survivors body and timeline, but that also means the disaster never happened, which means the whole time another version of him was just waiting in his little time capsule. Ugh, i love that stupid movie Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Nov 22, 2016 |

I always read the monster in It Follows as blossoming teenage sexuality. There's a few scenes that just make more sense from that perspective, and i seem to remember one scene that kind of shouts it (the guy friend awkwardly offering himself up to have sex with the main character so the monster comes after him, i think). A better STD movie would be any vampire movie. Except Daybreakers, which is about overthrowing capitalism.

mysterious frankie posted:They're all 20 somethings though, pretty sure. My hot take is that it's about the Millennial generation experiencing existential terror when confronted with the inescapable fact that they aren't children, the world they're inheriting is a picked over, hollowed out shithole and there's nowhere they can go and nothing they can do to escape that reality. Seen through that lens Adulthood in the 2010s is a certain kind of spiritual death, and the creature in It Follows functions as the despair urging towards annihilation that can overtake you when you realize the predicament you are in & have always been in. Using Detroit as the setting and stuff like the quotes they chose from The Idiot kinda support that. They're in college, i was initially remembering them being high schoolers. I'm mostly thinking about the monster as the old lady (fits with your interpretation, but also works as a young person looking forward to a time when they'll be undesirable with a kind of existential horror), the naked guy in the roof (who is not attractive, but is definitely naked, an uncomfortable image whose brief time on screen you probably spend recoiling), her friend in the bikini (representing sexual curiosity), the little boy (perhaps a representation of the innocent affection of childhood, now transformed into a tireless stalking monster), and finally the shape it takes at the end, which we don't get to see and is almost certainly her father (elektra). Her friend also gets iced when the monster turns into his step mom and, in the only scene where we get to see a kill happening, appears to have sex with him (oedipus). This isnt saying she's "into" the monster's form at all times, it's just the inexpressible and uncomfortable feeling of this animal waking up inside of her/you/a person of a similar age. It would work better if they were in high school like i thought i remembered, but in the same breath I'll say that college is where a lot of people awaken sexually.

david_a posted:They make it pretty easy to unsubscribe for a few months. Take advantage of it! For the foreseeable future I'll probably be hopping around between various streaming providers because I can't justify paying for multiple services. I had Hulu a few months ago, currently on Netflix, and will probably switch to HBO Now in the near future. If you let the content build up you'll have a nice cache of stuff to watch when you switch back. This man speaks the truth. Its not cable anymore! Don't pay for services you're not watching and experiment with all of them because they almost all give you a free month every year or six months. When i worked at netflix we were specifically instructed not to try to get people not to cancel, and you can also just do it online. You get the rest of that pay period to watch, and if you call and are nice can sometimes get it refunded.

pahuyuth posted:I thought the first episode was really good but about around episode 4 it really started to weaken and just got more and more corny from there. There's very little development for a couple of what should be more important characters and some really unnecessary scenes The second scientist researching the NDEs. Wtf?! Came out of nowhere and added nothing. I watched it through to the end because I'm a glutton for punishment and I can't help but feel a really good premise was just totally wasted and the ending was just bleh, really? . Im getting close to finishing and I feel pretty much the same way. I loved The Cell, Flatliners, and Sense8 and this seemed like a big mash of those things, but I was shouting at my TV wishing they weren't making some of these lame choices. More than anything, the spoiler you mentioned reminded me of Laurence Fishburne in Predators: awesome, intriguing concept you can't wait to see what they do with oop and he's dead. I got the same feeling of writers trying to stuff in more ideas than they could in the time they had, but they had eight hour-plus episodes and chose to use the bulk of their time dragging out just the strangest things. edit: Jesus Christ the ending edit 2: please do not misconstrue that as an endorsement, dont watch The OA Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Dec 18, 2016 |

Kevin Smith has a standing invitation to every comic book and sci fi festival. See also: the Sandler gang that apparently film their "comedies" at locations where they want to spend the summer.

Dog Eat Dog is stressful as gently caress, but you just can't stop watching after that opening scene. I thought i was watching for Nicholas Cage, but he seems nuanced and reserved next to Willem Dafoe. Looking for a Friend for the End of the World is funny, pretty good date movie and a reminder that Steve Carell is actually a great actor beyond yelling funny things in The Office. The Wraith is a 1986 teen racing movie, basically The Crow meets The Fast and the Furious. I don't know why I started watching it, but it's awesome and one of those 80's movies you had no idea all your favorite actors was in. Clint Howard looks like the guy from Eraserhead edit: the car in The Wraith is a Dodge M4S. Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Feb 3, 2017 |
