Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:A good show that is on Netflix is Spartacus. It's part Rome, part Game of Thrones, with a bit of Deadwood's creative use of profanity. While this show is great, and probably one of my favorites, be warned it starts off real rough. Once it gets to episode four though it's just straight awesome.

Oh new thread! I get to recommend The Man From Nowhere. It's an awesome korean movie that is bascially Taken, but not for pansies. It is seriously probably my favorite movie. Just such great fight scenes. It's dark, it's actiony, it's cool as poo poo.

This is the korean movie by the way, not the movie based on the book. The movie is also a lot of fun and is more horror comedy than straight horror.

Housebound was pretty cool stuff. Comedy thriller I'd call it? Definitely not what I was expecting but enjoyed it all the way through. Fun movie, agree with the earlier poster that it had some Raimi like qualities to it.

X-Ray Pecs posted:Always Sunny is really good. I've spent a good amount of my recent free time rewatching Always Sunny, and it's a drat funny show about horrible people. It's a more nihilistic Seinfeld; part screwball comedy, part black comedy about assholes loving up the lives of everyone they come into contact with, and never facing any severe consequences. The characters are also really well-drawn, and have solid personalities the writers/actors can play up. The acting is phenomenal, and the characters all fit well into their parts. It's ridiculously entertaining. The show is hilarious, but season 1 can be kind of rough. It really kicks into gear in season 2 though. Dennis and Dee go on Welfare is one of the funniest episodes of TV I've ever seen.

Jack Gladney posted:I'm watching Terra Nova now, and while it's not really good at all, Stephen Lang is in it as the most wonderful, perfect ham. I could watch his bug-eyed nutso face for hours as he screams and waves his knife at CG dinosaurs. Terra Nova isn't necessarily a good show but I thought it was a lot of fun, which is more than I can say about a lot of other shows. It knows it's a stupid show so it just sort of runs with it.

Chichevache posted:Sonatine is one of the most beautifully shot movies I have ever seen. Dark, funny, heartwarming. Violent. People have been recommending it for years in these threads and I should have listened to them earlier. Easily in my top 20 of all time, maybe top 10. Man after spending the usual 30 minutes on Netflix trying to figure out what movie to watch I had decided between Sonatine and Infernal Affairs. I went with Infernal Affairs. Really wish I had chose the other. Especially since the night before I watched New World so it felt like I was watching the same movie over again, except I liked all the characters in New World better.

Not at all what I was expecting, but I loved it. It is all the things you said it was, and has kind of stuck itself into my brain cavity. Though you left out sad. Not depressing, or downtrodden or grimm, just genuinely sad. I think I'm gonna give it a few days and watch it again.

yeah but Carl didn't use social media to overcome anything. His plan was to just drive his truck back home and stop places on the way and hope he could sell some sandwiches. It wasn't until his son came along and with the power of Twitter and Facebook made it possible for him to actually get a decent amount of customers. If it wasn't for his son using social media he wouldn't have learned a drat thing. The entire plot relies on Social media to not only drat him initially, but ultimately be his savior. or maybe his son is his savior/redemption? Either way.

Sarchasm posted:The Babadook might be my favorite movie of 2014, and I was just prowling video on demand services for A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night earlier this week. April looks like a real good month for horror. Not to mention Leprechaun 6: Back 2 tha Hood is coming. Quite possibly the best movie about a rapping leprechaun ever made.

LogisticEarth posted:Having seen both The History of Future Folk and Safety Not Guaranteed, I remember the former being way more cheesy/dopey than the latter. They're both fantastical, but one worked and the other didn't. Yeah I kind of enjoyed both, but The History of Future Folk is basically just as excuse to play blues grass, while Safety Not Guaranteed is an actual movie. History is cool if you have an interest in the music, Safety is an actually decent movie. (decent, not great or anything).

DangerDummy! posted:V/H/S 3: We're Goin' Viral?! is up. It's really loving stupid. The skateboarders fighting the Mexican skeletons was weirdly compelling, but everything else was pretty bad, especially the framing device or whatever you call it. We're still doing the spooky ice cream truck thing, huh? Such a bad movie. The cape dude was kind of cool but just went downhill rather quickly. I also hated hated hated the skateboard kid piece. Probably cause I hate skateboarders. The only one I really enjoyed was Parallel Monsters and even that was more 'not as bad as the others' than anything else.

Danger 5 is some of the worse try hard comedy I've seen since Tim and Eric. It felt like a bad sketch that just kept going and going. Now netflix is going to keep recommending stuff cause I watched it but I at least know to avoid those things so I guess some good came out of it.

Pentaro posted:I've been tricking Netflix into thinking I'm living in the UK in order to watch Black Books, it's an amazingly funny show and I don't know why I took so long to finally watch it. The thing is, now I've finished it and don't know what to watch next. Are there any shows / movies that fit the BB tone? Thanks! If Green Wing is on UK netflix give that a watch. It stars Tamsin Grieg as the main character. The first episode is usual filler/exposition but it gets going real fast after that. It's also probably one of the darkest comedies I've ever seen.

So is netflix now doing a thing where if you binge watch a show it starts reminding you to do normal human poo poo? When I started watching earlier it would just have the next episode preview at the end of an episode, and then it started posting things next to the preview with things like Walk your Dog, Go to the Bathroom, Eat something, and now that I've been binge watching through my insomnia, Go To Sleep.

cat doter posted:molded rubber suits and whether a super hero has one is integral to my enjoyment of super hero fiction I'm only four episodes in, it doesn't really have the humor of gotg, but it definitely has the fights of winter soldier. So far it's a good show, it's got characters that are likeable, multiple plot threads that tie into each other, cool fight scenes, absolutely amazing cinematography and lighting. If you have any interest in any of the things I just said, I'd say you should give it a try. I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest of it. Fisk is a fantastic villain so far, and I can't wait to see where they take him.

It reminded me of the "going up the hotel ramp" scene from Ong Bak a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7knz_uh6eBw love this scene, reminds me of the hallway fight in oldboy. ravenkult posted:Why isn't Daredevil's suit, you know, red? maybe he thinks it is?

JediTalentAgent posted:On the subject of Amazon Prime from someone who buys like 2 things a year from them: Is there a significant difference between the amount of movie and TV content on Netflix to make it worth having both, or is there so much overlap that it's not worth it? There's a few things it has that Netflix doesn't, but a whole lot of overlap. It's good for the HBO stuff, and the few other poo poo like Veronica Mars or whatever, other than that I'd say take a free month or two or three and then eh gently caress it. They have a lot of overlap.

cat doter posted:I dunno if 22 Jump Street is on American Netflix, but I just watched on Australian Netflix on a whim. I've heard that people that like 21 were down on it, but I quite liked it. Lots of dumb sequel jokes, one REALLY clever one (I thought we had Cate Blanchett?) and a bunch of goofy action sequences and perhaps one of the funniest fight scenes I've seen in a while. Maybe the fact that 21 was surprisingly good lessens the impact of 22 but I still think it's quite funny. Well worth a watch. The elephant in the room bit had me in tears, not every joke hits, but when they do I get a pretty good laugh out of it. I honestly can't think of many other movies recent that I found as funny as 22 jump street.

Each season of Bojack starts out dumb sitcom stuff and then builds up the humor and then gets dark. Like grab a miners helmet cause it gets dark as gently caress. Then the season ends on a jesus christ note and the next one repeats the cycle, which honestly is meta as hell considering the series. Also the animal jokes are always gonna be dumb, but hell in the second episode they have Neal McBeal the Navy Seal. It's just so dumb ya have to laugh. edit: holy poo poo while trying to find Neal McBeal I stumbled upon the genius that is Vincent Adultman again. God bless his adult business venture loving soul.

I was kind of excited about Supergirl getting on Netflix cause I like comic books and stories about strong women but I couldn't even make it through the first episode, it's so bad. And apparently it just gets worse, ugh. I had hopes cause Arrow is really cool and Flash is stupid but at least fun with likeable characters. edit: holy poo poo Flashpoint Paradox is loving dark, wtf. Like holy poo poo how is this rated pg 13? Leper Residue fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Sep 11, 2016 |
