I have noticed some discussion about Troll 2 on Netflix, but I do not think anyone has mentioned that Best Worst Movie, a documentary about Troll 2, is also available on Hulu Plus if you really need your Troll 2 fix. (I think the doc is okay--the filmmaking is bland, but the subject matter is interesting and the people involved are all kind of odd. The movie is saved by the guy who played the Dad, a really entertaining figure in real life.)

The part with the actress who played the mom is really uncomfortable to watch.

Man gently caress you Netflix. I know Terminator 2 was on there so when you told me Terminator 1 was now streaming I was going to watch both! Tricked you, you got rid of T2 when you put the first up. Jerks!!! :mad:

Just watch Conan instead.

The main reason I'm balking at paying the $3 for Jurassic Park is the 7 year old is kid of a wuss when it comes to movies. He said Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal both had scary parts, but also said the same thing about Muppets From Space and I honestly can't figure out why. I mean, at that point, any movie becomes too scary. Roger Rabbit has Judge Doom. Goonies has scary parts. Princess Bride has thr ROUSs.

Similarly for Back To The Future, I'm worried their mom would flip out about the sex stuff. She just recently watched Grease with them and was "mortified at the content".

The Terminator and The Fifth Element? What the gently caress is wrong with you? Those are joke suggestions, right?

A lot of goons had hosed up childhoods and watched stuff like Alien at age 8 and think that's normal and healthy.

The Conversation is up. It was the first movie Francis Ford Coppola released in 1974, and it's a knockout. Gene Hackman plays a secretive, socially-awkward surveillance worker who becomes curious about a conversation he's paid to snoop on. It touches on a lot of themes, including religion and moral quandaries presented by such a job, and the stuff about surveillance still holds up to this day. The cinematography is great, in a subtle, unflashy way. Hackman's character is very well-drawn and, of course, well-acted. Plus, Harrison Ford before he was popular! Give it a go if you're in the mood for a great 70's thriller.

Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely on the same level as the rest of Coppola's 70s output. I'm gonna watch that again soon.

If you've heard of Martin Scorsese these are all righteously fun films which fit well together.

Except Legendary, which was so forgettable I know I watched it and still forgot.. Watch that Battle of the Damned movie instead, because where else can you nwatch Dolph Lundgren lead a rag-tag band of robots to revolution?! :iamafag:

Green Street Underground is probably the worst of the lot, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the first two Green Street movies (which I wouldn't recommend if you are not a fan of seeing people brained with bricks in riot scenes) so feel free, it's just a Bloodsport clone movie and not as rough as the other Green Streets.

Green Street 2 also has pretty much nothing to do with the first one. I go back and forth on whether Green Street 2 or Goal! 3: Taking On the World is the worst soccer-related movie I've seen.

The worst soccer related film is Hooligans at War: north vs south, and I mean by a very long way, so if I were you I'd stay away. It makes Green Street look brilliant.

I hated the original green Street so never bothered with any sequels but if they're worse than the original they must be terrible.

Haha what the gently caress is this? Why is everything green? Why does the trailer say the movie is called Battlefield? None of this makes any sense.

Haven't seen the new Hunger Games yet, and Age of Ultron, if a bit disappointing, is still worth watching if you're into Marvel.

Foodfight is up on Prime and it is indescribable agony to sit through. It's like a much more nakedly cynical attempt at what the Lego Movie does, except it's also incomprehensibly ugly and badly plotted. I read on wiki that the movie was finished by an insurance company after the studio defaulted on its debt to them, and you can really tell that insurance salesmen made this film.

It's fascinating that anyone believed that there would be a market for a movie about product mascots, and also that a ton of conglomerates clearly revoked permission to use their logos and mascots after seeing the thing. There are rows and rows of blank white boxes between occasional Swifers in tons of scenes. Mr. Clean and Charlie Tuna are about the only brands left. It's kind of fun trying to figure out which national brands were changed to generic characters at the last minute.

It also has the insidious message that the store brand is evil and an enemy to kids' beloved food products, not that any kids could make it that far into the movie without getting motion sickness.

You really can't comprehend how bad this movie is until you see it, but under no circumstances should anyone ever see this movie.

Foodfight was actually supposed to be released in 2003, but the release date kept getting pushed back until the producers defaulted on a loan and the film was put up for auction. The investors then commissioned the film to be finished as quickly and cheaply as possible.

IIRC a bunch of their hard drives were stolen partway through production so they had to go back and redo a lot of it.

Yeah that's true. Up until then Spartacus's revolt was driven largely by vendetta and thus very personal. I think they did a good job depicting how the revolt had escalated to the point that Rome had to get serious but season 3 was definitely "Our Heros vs The Mechanistic Apparatus of State". Crassus et. al. were just doing their jobs and didn't give a poo poo who Spartacus was or why he was doing anything.

Crassus and Caesar were p cool villains though.

I just watched First Reformed on Prime after missing it when it was in theaters. That was pretty heavy, but good as hell. I'm glad Schrader didn't go with the original ending he had in the script, even though I generally like super bleak stuff. This definitely makes me want to rewatch The Sacrifice. I watched that on a whim when I was a teenager and didn't really understand what was going on but it certainly left an impression. I also want to check out Ordet, but that doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere.

Also, Cedric the Entertainer was really good in this!

Megachurch pastor is a great role for him.
