I thought it was funny. I was high as heck when i saw it tho. Watch it with your friends

Agreed. Drunk viewing of it at the theater with a bunch of drink friends was a good way to watch it. Got about 15 minutes into the rewatch and thought "oh wait this is really awful"

People tell me the sex scene is funny, but is there anything else in it that's worthwhile?

It's super low brow and racist as hell, but that's intentional. If you like really dumb Seth Rogan humor it's probably worth a watch for free. Drink during it.

I never really used the Netflix reccomendations to find something to watch, I pretty much only used it to rate things I had no desire to watch 1 star so they'd stop showing up. Though now it's pretty much just "Here's all of our Netflix original programming oh and Hellraiser"

Well, it turns out that if you'd bothered to accurately rate everything you'd watched the predictions would've been almost entirely accurate and you're why we can't have nice things.

I dunno I just very rarely found myself randomly finding something on Netflix to watch. I'd be using threads like these and other places to find what was recommended. I don't think there were many jewels that I just happened upon without knowing about them first. I did spend hours and hours going through and rating every movie that popped up that I'd seen before a while back, I just never really rated anything after I watched it unless it was horrible or I absolutely loved it.

I would say that Hulu leads me to other stuff a lot more often, due to repeated commercials. I never would have considered watching You're the Worst just from a basic premise read of it, but Hulu kept hammering me with commercials so I finally said "FINE HULU I'LL WATCH THE SHOW ARE YOU HAPPY" and now it's one of my all time favorites.

Yeah, that's the biggest problem. There's a slight chance that the child will gain the appreciation of whatever the source material for their name is, but most likely they will loving hate it, resent the parent, and go by another name.

Your child will not be born a LotR fan just because you name them such. Sure, almost everyone likes Star Wars, but the child will never match the parent's enthusiasm.

My friends named their flaming red hair child Conan after Conan O'Brien. Think he's going to be a huge fan of the show when he's in his surly teenage years?

To his defense, "Harley" isn't that crazy of a name and at the time she was born Harley Quinn was pretty much relegated to B:TAS fans and comic fans. She definitely wasn't as huge as she is now.

It really does tie together a lot better if you watch them in release order, if for no other reason than inside jokes paying off a lot more. But if you've already watched the prequel series you've got enough to go off to enjoy the sequel series.

Luckily, since it's actually the back half of season one, we won't have to wait as long! First half of 2018 is the buzz, I think.

It took a few episodes to gain momenttum, but by the end of episode six I was a little bummed that it was over for now. Strangely, I think it was when we first meet Dangerboat that it really hit me. I found the juxtaposition between our "cartoon" heroes and Overkill to be a nice note, and Ms. Lint felt somewhat like a villain from the animated series, but there was something about a sentient AI boat making his own soundtrack in between mothering a psychopathic partner that hit peak wacky for me. I'll definitely be watching more when it lands.

This version of the Tick gives us an amazing quote that is in line with the Arthur of ye olden times yet also shows it's a more adult show It was like he was looking for some place to keep his knife and no place was good enough!

In my opinion American Vandal is pretty light on the laughs and surprisingly heavy on the teen drama which is unfortunate.

Good acting though, I love the "cool" teacher and Dylan. Just don't expect it to make you laugh more than once per episode.

If they had just stuck with the comedy parody side of it, it would have been great. But the last few episodes just DRAG because suddenly it's got a serious tone and acting like it's an actual documentary. It's at it's best with some of the subtlety.

Like, I wish they had just shown the teacher that was fired briefly with "ex-teacher" as his description. I laughed so hard at that. But they had to go into more detail.

Just remember everyone, Mindhunters is based on the book based on the life of John Douglas who created "Profiling", and the character Jack Crawford on Silence of the Lambs is based on John Douglas so watch the show because without it we never would have had the show Profiler in the 90s.

I'm almost done with season 2 of Stranger things, and it's really not that great. It's like they asked themselves, "You know all that stuff that made the first season so great? Yeah, let's get rid of all of that."

I'm almost done with it and while I think it's not as good as the first season, it's still pretty good. They just went from subtle Easter eggs to "HEY GUYS REMEMBER LAST SEASON HOW ELEVEN LIKED EGGOS WELL NOW THEY'RE IN EVERY SCENE".

Also, minor spoiler, the Demogorgon dogs are pretty much the split head dogs from Silent Hill. Which is fine, Duffer Brothers are openly inspired by the game (upside down world) so it remains a better Silent Hill movie than any of the Silent Hill movies.
