That was SUCH a well edited doc. They created several amazing twists just with the careful doling out of information

Starting Wild Wild Country. Interesting story so far but they need to chill the gently caress out with the sound effects.

That's a really strange thing to be annoyed about.

Not when it gets in the way of hearing some of the dialogue

Edit: looks like the distracting sound effects were only in the first episode, didn�t notice any in 2 and 3

Cube 2 is dumb, but I have to admit I kind of enjoyed it for being dumb.

Memories of Murder is on Prime and probably one of the best movies, people should watch it.

My favorite procedural, even slightly above Silence of the Lambs

M Night didn�t get what made his own movie work because he ripped off the general premise from an episode of Nickelodeon�s Are You Afraid if the Dark:

yeah im just spitballing here but i dont think AYAOTD was the first one to come up with that concept

Maybe not but based on the details it appears to be the one M Night was cribbing off of

Hey if you haven�t seen it (it didn�t get much of a push in the US), Girl With All The Gifts is on Amazon prime, a zombie movie that is surprisingly thoughtful and moving.

Is there a good way to see what movies and TV shows are available on international versions of Netflix and Amazon prime?

I didn't like it at all. The characters' actions made no sense, the ending made no sense either. I felt it was quite a waste of time. Almost on Walking Dead Season 7-9 levels, but shorter, so at least there's that.

Think of it like The VVitch or Ex Machina where the girl has been treated like garbage by the people who were supposed to be on her side for so long that when their fate rest in her hands, she can�t come up with a good reason why they�re worth saving

Random trivia: Kubrick bought the same special lenses used in NASA satellites because it was the only thing at the time that could capture enough light from a candlelit-only room. I think only six of them were ever made?

Bird Box�s screenplay adaptation was by Eric Heiserrer, the guy who adapted Arrival. Good job.

Dredd is up there next to Robocop as being both awesome action and deeply meaningful statement

Inspector Hound posted:

.. which Robocop

E gently caress it, i think the new Robocop was better, just that scene where they slowly reveal which parts of him are robotic while he just mourns in disbelief still makes me uncomfortable to think about

Both. Both Robocops are excellent movies for different reasons. Dredd is up there with both in standing up to analysis and interpretation

Netflix never shares their numbers so they hold all the cards when it comes to negotiation

Netflix doesn�t bother marketing 99.999999% of the stuff on their service, especially if it�s not a Netflix Original because they think word of mouth does most of their work for them

One time I saw the DVD at Dollar Tree and didn't but it. I don't really have an excuse for why I didn't.

Because it was DVD and you subconsciously knew you should get the Blu-ray

The Hulu documentary about the Fyre festival is great (Fyre Fraud)

At the end they basically say the Netflix one is gonna be full of poo poo because the marketing company for Fyre made the doc and are gonna cover their asses in it.

Strong move, Hulu.

I actually stopped watching the Shield because it was too stressful. Every episode felt like the house of cards was just about to come down

The Hulu one is definitely the better doc, but the Netflix one is still worth watching because of a couple amazing anecdotes

Netflix�s Fyre:

- mostly avoids talking about Jerry Media�s involvement, which Hulu�s leans into

- avoids Billy�s fraud during Fyre and emphasizes Billy�s fraud post-Fyre

-definitely more professional looking overall, doesn�t lean on stock footage punch ups

-on the other hand misses out on some great moments like dwelling on the mannequin challenge or the pigs biting models

-has some insane anecdotes the Hulu one doesn�t like the veteran marketing guy being asked to suck cock to avoid customs fees

-doesn�t have an interview with Billy

Overall I think the Hulu one is slightly better but you should watch both
