Fart City posted:But the story doesn’t work without a five page interlude about how the town mailman suffers from terrible farts??? Hahaha; what’s his deal with those tangents anyway? I remember reading Cujo (IIRC) as a kid and it went on this tangent about one guy’s habits, down to describing how stiff his bedsheets were due to all the dried semen on them due to his constant masturbating. Back then I was like ‘Yo what the Hell is this all about?!’ E: to contribute, I found Four Lions and Dave Made A Maze are currently on Hulu

Prime has a show called ‘Sentosha: Battle Wheels’. The cast is apparently all Japanese comedians/celebrities so we have no idea who they are, but it’s a goofy demolition derby type show. You can skip the first episode if you just want to get to the car challenges, because that one is just introducing everyone.

I dunno if anyone besides me is into old black and white serial films, but I found one on Prime called The Monster and The Ape. It’s classic goofy, corny old sci-fi and I am having a blast watching it. On that note, anybody know where I can find other old serials on streaming?

Nihonniboku posted:Season 2 of Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father is up on Netflix. It's a really funny and charming show where Jack travels with his father, a conservative, upper crust, posh English father around Southeast Asia in season 1, and eastern Europe in season 2. Oh man, that’s awesome! Season 1 was great. I loved the episode when they were given the Luk Thep doll.

Basebf555 posted:How the gently caress can Murphy's death have more gore and blood added? It's over the top and horrific as it is. IIRC, the gratuitous violence on the hand/arm mutilation and the headshot were originally toned down, and maybe the excessive number of bullets they riddle him with. One thing I never get tired of in Robocop is how much personality and panache all the villains have. It’s a drat near perfect movie.

Just watched Lowlife on Hulu. It’s broken up into four interconnected chapters with each focusing on one character’s dealings with a crime boss named Teddy. (These characters include a rage-a-helix luchador, and a guy with a very unfortunate prison tattoo). It’s kind of hard to say more without giving away a lot of the plot. I hadn’t heard of it before, but I loved it.

tweet my meat posted:Pan Shot was by far the most moving of the various stories, I still tear up thinking about it I thought that was the thinnest/weakest story, but there was just something about that ending. I do have a question about the segment with the prospector. Was it based on something? I feel like I read a story with a similar plot.

InterrupterJones posted:and I bet Haley Joel Osment is a bit sad he won't be in the next season (I know it's still possible he could show back up), but I'm sure he had fun being relevant again. Hey, Haley Joel Osment's been making money off of the Kingdom Hearts franchise for the past 17 years.  Watched Hulu's Fyre Festival doc yesterday, and it was ridiculous, particularly the bits with Billy McFarland on camera. I'm interested in what track the Netflix one will take, since Elliot Tebele is an exec producer on that. If you want something silly, Catwalk is a documentary on Hulu about competitive cat shows; and part of what kept me so riveted was how goddamn salty one of the women progressively got about point margins separating her cat and another woman's cat for first place.

Thanks guys, all of you bringing up The Shield made me finally realize that for years I've been confusing it with that Dennis Haysbert show The Unit. I'm finally gonna give The Shield a watch.

Hubbardologist posted:I came here to basically post this. It's.... like.... amazingly bad. Like a movie made by an AI that only watched Smokin' Aces and John Wick -- two very different films -- and was not able to reproduce any of the aspects of what made those films engaging. Down to the adopted dog getting murdered... by the protagonist. We stuck it out, and I regret it. Mass deserved better.

If CNNGo counts as streaming, check out Three Identical Strangers (sorry if I'm late to the party on this one). It starts off super heart-warming. A guy starting community college learns he has an exact double and meets his identical twin, and they'd been separated at birth via adoption. The story goes viral in the news, causing their triplet to find out about them! I loved the part about the three of them all first meeting each other, but by the end I was just so sad for the three of them after they'd come to find out the story behind their separation.they were specifically separated, to three distinct 'classes' of family as part of a 'nature vs. nurture' psychology experiment

Larry Charles's Dangerous World of Comedy is an absolute trip; but it veers into  territory at times; he goes around interviewing people in different countries about how they use comedy to deal with their situations.Episode 2 he's in Liberia talking to General Butt Naked asking if his unit of child soldiers used humor during the civil war and his 'humorous anecdote' is horrifying. Episode 3 is kind of a low point because he wastes part of the episode interviewing those shitbirds weev and Baked Alaska

Unzip and Attack posted:I got about 20 minutes into Abducted in Plain Sight and just had to turn it off. When the dad reveals he was "fooled" into giving his neighbor a handjob I figured watching any more of that poo poo would sorely tempt me to break my tv. I don't know that I've ever been so angry watching a show in my life. Parents waiting 5 loving days to report a missing child? The sheer, crystalline stupidity of those parents really should constitute criminal neglect at a minimum. That was the point we shut it off too; because there was no way it couldn't get worse and more infuriating.

veni veni veni posted:There are a lot of things he said that were sort of hilarious in the darkest, most hosed up possible way. Like, he felt bad and turned to jesus because he didn't want to kill the last toddler he murdered, but only because the kid was cute and clean so he wanted to find a less desirable kid to hack open with an axe and eat alive (he didn't mention how they did it, but I read up on him a bit last night). Of course when he couldn't find one he still killed Then he goes on to talk about how he likes to watch Kids Say the Darndest things. or the part where he goes up to the guy who's legs he cut off and is aggressively and antagonistically is like "hey! Brother forgive me. You have to forgive me!" Honestly? The International Criminal Court wasn't founded until 2002, so it doesn't hold retroactive jurisdiction on his atrocities; and he went before Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and basically said, 'Yeah I did it, I repented and turned to the Lord' and the TRC just basically shrugged it off and said 'okey-dokie'. If you're interested in learning more about what went down in the Liberian Civil War, I can name a few documentaries about, it most of which you can find on YouTube. The interviews with the former child soldiers, the 'clowns' and 'Special Forces' just broke my loving heart.
