wafflesnsegways posted:I thought the second season of house of cards was an improvement over the first. No more Rooney Mara, more interesting stuff for robin wright, Kevin spacey hammier than ever. My problem with Season 3 is pretty much that it became typical political show (not really a spoiler but ehhh), Frank spent the first two seasons doing evil, manipulative super villain stuff that it was dull to see him dealing with ordinary president issues

precision posted:Flight of the Conchords first 2 or 3 seasons were great, but I seem to remember it went downhill hard at some point. First season is amazing though. Flight of the Conchords season 1 was significantly better than season 2 because it was essentially a "best of" their BBC Radio show that they'd had years to refine. Season 2 took a huge dive because they were rushed to write new episodes and new music, and they quickly became overwhelmed. I listened to an interview with Jemaine a while back and even they didn't want to keep going. He said his agent called when hbo wanted to do season 3 and they asked the agent bit to even tell them how much money was being offered so they wouldn't have any temptation.

Guess you didn't watch the last season which had multiple rapes including dude on dude hot action which was not handled well at all

I don't think Hot Girls Wanted showed that the girls were being exploited, I think it just showed the reality of being an "amateur" porn star. You have the chance to make a good amount of money in a short amount of time at the cost of your dignity. I can very easily see someone watching that film and thinking it was for them. Going in knowing it's a short term gig makes you less likely to, pun intended, blow everything up front.

fishtobaskets posted:Looking over the August list, Enemy at the Gates is a solid WW2 movie if you haven't seen it. It covers an interesting topic of the war that's not usually represented, i.e. not Central Europe/Pacific theater. The occupation of Stalingrad was a bizarre sort of inverse siege. It also has the dirtiest, grossest sex scene ever.

speshl guy posted:It's been years since I've seen it but I remember getting the feeling that the little girl vampire was setting up the little boy to become her next caretaker, like that old guy who procured food for her and died. Everything about her was outwardly deceiving, instead of being a young girl she was in fact old as poo poo and not a girl. Whether it was on purpose or not, she was emotionally manipulating this impressionable little kid into becoming her lifelong slave. That's exactly how I saw it...I thought it was pretty obvious that was the direction it was going.

hihifellow posted:Ex Machina (Alex Garland's first movie as director) popped up on Amazon Prime so I gave it a watch. It's good, and it was a nice palate cleanser after watching Jurrasic World the other day, but the whole movie feels like it's missing something. It feels kind of clinical in its cinematic approach, but that might have been intentional. It's a solid indie movie though. I really liked Ex Machina but I think it was designed specifically for people like me in mind I kept trying to figure out what the twist was going to be, who was going to turn out to be the other AI. Then the twist was... No twist. I over analyzed

Nolanar posted:What are some good Netflix-available tragedies, in the "protagonist gradually undone by their own flaws" sense? Movies and shows are both fine. Obvious examples: Breaking Bad, the Long Good Friday, various Shakespeare adaptations. Is Memento still up on Netflix? That's pretty much the definition of the movie.

precision posted:Just at a casual glance I would honestly say that Prime has just as much good stuff as Netflix, if not more. With Prime you get some great indie movies like Ex Machina really early, you get a ton of great HBO shows, etc. I think we're getting to the point where Netflix's value as a movie streaming service is slipping. Most of the newer stuff is available on Amazon Prime as well. Where it's gaining ground is with original material.

Sleeveless posted:Apparently a lot of the budget was due to having to use CGI to touch up Rubens to hide his wrinkles. If you see his live appearances he's smeared in pancake makeup and looks way different. Yeah he's on Gotham right now as Penguin's father and definitely doesn't look 30. Not bad for 63 though.

Depp just got off the train in L.A. and was immediately menaced by a black man on rollerblades. The plot seems is Speed but with an assassination instead of a bus. It's on Netflix, I'm enjoying it so far Plus it takes place in REAL TIME like 24!

pahuyuth posted:Hell, even Odd Thomas (still on Netflix afaik) was watchable thanks to Anton... and after smoking a couple of bowls. The CG and voiceover sucked though. I actually really liked Odd Thomas and wanted to see it become a franchise. It wasn't exactly original, hell The Frighteners did a similar concept in the 90s, but he played it well. I wouldn't have called it a "good" movie but it was certainly fun and definitely didn't regret the time I spent watching it.

Which is odd, because early 2000 and 2001 will always be remembered as some of the most fun years in America! I'm sure it was mentioned, but for family friendly comedians, you can't go wrong with Brian Regan.

regulargonzalez posted:More like the corniest ending of all time. All it lacked was sadtrombone.wav I don't care that it was corny. (Mist movie spoilers) I went in being a huge fan of the book and had no idea the ending changed. I told my friend that is was a depressing ending. And it was so much better. I do agree it could have been made a bit better with a little more spacing, but that also made it so over the top I couldn't stop laughing as everyone in the theater was in shock. Anyway, I doubt it's on Netflix, but if it is, watch the black and white version of The Mist. Gives it more of a traditional horror feel.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 is awful because it tries to be a serious show. In Season 2 they said "Wait we're a ridiculous comic book show let's embrace it fully" and it's been amazing and campy. Just a few weeks ago they had to go back in time and help inspire George Lucas to make Star Wars

I remember thinking Michael Bolton was pretty much dead until Jack Sparrow came out, and then I thought "Oh snap, he knows it's okay to make fun of himself, he might be a cool dude after all."

Well considering all three of them are in it, it's understandable. Lot more people know Lonely Island than Scott Aukerman.  . Not to mention they're kind of the ones that brigh brought Bolton into the musical comedy world.
