Fiance and I have been watching that Awkwafina show on HBO MAX, and we thought it would be annoying but actually it's really funny! The grandma in particular is a highlight of the show and just a hoot. Been on a MUBI kick lately, grabbed the 3 months/$1 deal that was being offered through last week. Watched Beats (Groove + Superbad + 94 Scotland), Taipei S*icide Story (amazing, heartbreaking) and The Turin Horse (the perfection of cinema) so far. It's been a lot of fun diving back into artsy world cinema and discovering all these films that I would have not come across otherwise. Also re-watched Red Dawn 2012 for fun, and boy that movie is just so batshit insane.

Adrianics posted:I would recommend adding I Think You Should Leave to the Netflix list, Kevin Can F Himself to Amazon Prime and Only Murders in the Building to Disney+. I Think You Should Leave is amazing. Every time I watch it, I have a new favorite sketch. Right now, I think it's the burger one from S2, or maybe the Drivers Ed video. "DON'T ASK ABOUT THE TABLES"

jackofarcades posted:I caught up on You, what an utterly batshit ride season 3 is Agreed! I actually really like S3 a lot, especially compared to S2 which I just didn't love (no pun intended). Speaking of Love, I really liked her character in S3. I wasn't really into her arc in S2 and making her a crazy killer too seemed silly. But I legit felt bad for her in S3, as she has more of a "justification" for her actions compared to Joe. Having her die at the end really shocked my fiancé and I. That scene with the Taylor Swift song was pretty drat emotional. Also, I am glad that couple made it out alive, they were hilarious. Really interested to see what happens in S4 On another note, we finished Lovecraft Country, and I have to say, what an odd loving show. I know that it's supposed to come off as "pulp-y", but the mix of race relations of the time, with Once-style magic spells just created such an un-even tone. And I don't consider myself a dumb person, but god forbid I walked away for a minute, I would completely lose track of what the hell was going on. Though, some of the body horror stuff was SPOT ON, especially a certain scene in a dark alleyway. We have no started Flight Attendant, and about 4 episodes in, and I am loving it. Hopefully it doesn't flop here towards the end

Watched "The girl across the street..." this last weekend and loved it. The tone was just slightly off enough that I found myself giggling at all the dumb things happening like the mailbox, the changing tombstone messages, the extended fight with the kid, the casseroles to name a few

isaboo posted:The Fresh Prince reboot (Bel Air) is good. Not great, but good. Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv are cool as hell, as is Geoffrey. I put off watching this just because the concept of a "serious" Bel Air seemed so silly. But because of this post I decided to start it...and yeah I don't hate it! Everything is well done enough to keep me interested for now. I agree though, def needs more jokes.

Lazy_Liberal posted:thank goodness there's always a website with a name like "streammmzone123 dot com" that let's me watch whatever show i want as long as i'm willing to deal with pop-ups and redirects. somehow this is preferable to navigating loving like five streaming services so i can watch anime and also simpsons Honestly I am so glad for the one I recently found. It works like a charm on the xbox browser and has next to no ads. I just can't justify having 54 different platforms anymore. Hulu and HBO are the only two I pay for at this point (Paramount + luckily I got free thorugh Tmobie so I can watch soccer)

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I watched After Yang yesterday and I was totally blown away. Love those "lived-in" feeling sci-fi settings. I feel like it was the closest thing to an Iain M. Banks novel in a movie. Though not Sci-Fi, I HIGHLY recommend watching his previous film Columbus!

istewart posted:Thanks to the early posters in the thread for pointing out Kanopy; I logged in with my library card and was impressed by the selection. I'd actually never seen Chinatown, so I finally caught up with that, and I plan on watching Moonlight next as I intended to watch it after it won Best Picture but never got around to it. Any suggestions for my other two credits for the month on there? Columbus and Tangerine are two that I recently watched and loved

Sonic 2 hit Paramount+ today. It's fine! It is def an improvement over the first in most ways. The action is a little better, Knuckles and Tails are great and I do like Carrey's Eggman. Though, my biggest issue which stems from the first movie, is setting it primarily in the human world. The great thing about the Sonic games imo, is the visual splendor of all the different "zones" and worlds. The PNW is great and nice but makes for a boring setting for a something like this. Also, I just could care less about anything relating to James Marsden and his antics. Still, the post credit stuff has me excited for 3!

mcmagic posted:The parts of the new season of The Flight Attendant where she talks to the other versions of herself are really terrible. It’s so bad, and somehow gets worse as the season goes on. The season overall is weaker by far, except I do love Annie(Zosia’s character) and her BF’s antics a lot

yoohoo posted:After Hours isn’t quite what I’m looking for. I guess I probably didn’t need the “less emphasis on horror” amendment, I just meant that I’m not looking for pure horror movies. Sci-fi horror, action horror, something horror adjacent, in an urban setting. Like it’s not a haunted house or a setting where the characters are secluded and alone - the idea of a community having to deal with a crisis if some kind, be it supernatural, an otherworldly entity, government shenanigans etc is more what I’m thinking. Miracle Mile deals with an impending nuclear strike during the twilight hours in Downtown LA. It has an amazing vibe to it, one of my all time favs

Personally, more than anything, I thought Blonde was just boring as hell. I can see why people were turned off my the films few shocking moments (that JFK scene in particular was downright offensive. Can't believe that made it into the film) but I was on my phone for like 80% of it, which I rarely do. I mean, Ana was great, and the movie looked nice but it really did not need to be 3 hours by any means.

The Night Comes for Us is an absolute banger from start to finish. The amount of over the top kills easily qualifies it as a slasher film, and makes for a great Halloween watch

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:It's still bakin' my noodle that they had this movie and director RIGHT THERE as a reference/resource for Mortal Kombat and did nothing with it. The director is even a low-budget film-maker. What a shame. Man, Timo directing MK would be the best. I know he was/is working on the Train to Busan remake, and recently teased "The Operator" which would make me so happy. She was so cool in TNCFU

Paul T Goodman is so drat odd but so drat good. Also watched the new John Hyams thriller "Sick" (also on Peacock) and thought it was really fun. No one quite directs these tight, 90 min thrillers like he does. Very kinetic chase/action pieces

The Modern Leper posted:I'm watching Physical 100 on Netflix, and the level of personal pride everyone seems to have invested in their individual performance is quite intense. I really want to like the show, as I always love a good Physical Challenge show. But between the editing is super annoying and moves way too slow. Nothing a little (a lot) fast forwarding can't help but still

Peacock has surprisingly become one of my most used streaming services on a day-to-day basis. Between the movies Tar, M3GAN etc, original shows like Poker Face, Bel Air and all the Bravo guilty pleasures like Million Dollar Listing, Below Deck and Vanderpump....It gets a lot of use in our household. Speaking of Bel-Air, Season 2 is off to a good start so far. Very much the same vein of the first but I really like the vibe of the show a lot.

Oof, You S4 Part II is really bad. I liked what they set up in the first half but it really goes off the rails badly in the last few episodes that it retroactively makes me hate the rest of the season.

A Million Little Things(Hulu/ABC) is such suburban house mom drama porn a la This is Us, that I got sucked into while casually watching with my partner... but you bet your rear end I teared up during the finale, ever if it was telegraphed from the start. On a happier note, Minari, After Yang, The Farewell, and The Green Knight are on Tubi along with the 2022 Korean action film The Killer which is really cool.

Weekend watch report: Chucky S2 - Really good! Just constantly impressed with how good the show turned out. Infinity Pool - Good, not quite great. Last bit of the film kind of felt flat compared to the start. Don't Breathe 2 - Not great. Even looking past the crazy premise, it just felt mostly silly and dumb but not in a super enjoyable way. *EDIT: This is not the horror thread lol thatfuturekid fucked around with this message at 15:22 on May 8, 2023 |

Shageletic posted:I appreciate the post tho! Gives me more incentive to try Chucky (tho I'm not generally a horror fan except for the "arty" poo poo) I highly suggest it! Though, make sure you either A) watch every movie beforehand or B) catch up via the Dead Meat "Kill Counts" on YT. The show is a direct continuation and though it made sense to me, my fiancé was lost until we sat down and just spent a few weekends going through the films lol. It really expects you to know your lore.

Shageletic posted:Yeah im not going to see the entirety if the Chucky franchise. I might check that out but I guess it's just a series of slasher kills which def doesn't sound appetizing? Yes and no! While the Kill Counts are, counts of the kills in horror movies, the host James, summarizes the movies and gives bits of trivia as well. It's honestly a great way to catch up, especially in cases like this. Plus, he is a cool dude in general! Here is a link to the playlist of the chucky ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INo8_xMA3tQ

I have kind of an odd request! So my in-laws were over this week, and my MiL was watching some Chinese dramas on Netflix(Word of Honor to be exact) and I got kind of sucked into it lmao. I was wondering what some of the "good" ones were, as I work overnights at home and always love something that I can just throw on and watch for hours. Appreciate any of the recs!

Totally Killer was good, but never reached great to me, especially coming off re-watches Happy Death Day/2U, which are both really funny and demonstrate a better flow imo. But then we watched Haunted Mansion 2023 and oh boy, made me appreciate TK that much more.

Watching Goosebumps on D+ and it's pretty drat fun! Cast is good and I am enjoying how they are integrating the stories from the books into the overarching plot. Justin Long in particular is great and love seeing him in these horror based roles (just rewatched Barbarian this week)
