"American Grindhouse"

Haha so amusing who co-produced this (it's okay btw as talking head features like this go).

Louie season 1, one of the most fascinating shows in a long time.

Yeah, I never got a chance to check this out until it was on Netflix - it's great.

1 month passes...

Tales from the Script has interviews with everyone from Richard Rush to Paul Schraeder to Shane Black about big-studio screenwriting. Lots of guys I'd never heard speak before. Good documentary.

Exit Through the Gift Shop (aka "The Banksy documentary") is an unexpected mindfuck, and surprisingly isn't really about Banksy at all. I recommend!

I know the disc would be better quality than streaming, but streaming is definitely better quality than regular tv -- there are far fewer compression artifacts than I get on cable. Maybe Netflix can tell I have decent downstream bandwidth (10 Mbps), I dunno. Turn off the lights in my office, watch fullscreen on the larger monitor, in with the earbuds, ask the family not to mess with me for two hours (or watch in the morning before they get up), a nice near-cinema experience.

i'm a little of worried that Netflix is gonna phase out discs before the internet connections get good enough for streams to be disc-quality

I'M STILL HERE, one of the greatest and most underrated films of the year, is now on instant. Time will be very kind to it.

OK, so I watched the whole first season of Continuum. I think it's one of the first sci fi shows filmed in Vancouver that is also set in Vancouver! This means that a bunch of actors from other things show up. I've recognized a couple from Caprica and/or BSG, and.. the Cigarette-Smoking Man and Krycek from the X-Files!

lol

i watched "lockout" starring mr. guy pearce last night and i recommend it if you're in the mood for a really dumb, really entertaining action movie. it's basically just "escape from new york" but in space.

Anyone watch this European production Borgia: Faith and Fear series they have no Netflix? It's a pretty much an evil and totally gory PBS historical drama. The cast is uneven, some of the episodes are pretty dense but the production is quite good. I'm hooked on it enough that I will finish the series.

That is great news about Neighboring Sounds. I was in a theater full of freshman college students who were in attendance for "cultural sensitivity" purposes. They were a terrible audience but it didn't detract from the film at all. I've thought about it a lot since seeing it.

hey, if you are young and robust and like to drink and enjoy having other young and robust drinkers over at night, i'm PRETTY sure the word "sorry" is spoken on Army Wives at least 15 times per episode. on average. could sweep college campuses worldwide. warning: you could die if you decide to play this very dangerous game.

No, they have the classic ones as well. Just watched the one where Ren's teeth fall out and the tooth beaver chews on his nerve endings last night.

That episode is horrific.

Moodles, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:41 (3 hours ago) Permalink

The show is pretty horrific!

That ep is followed by the Rubber Nipple Salesmen one, which has that surreal and bizarre scene where a rubber-wearing Mr. Horse asks for a rubber walrus protector, brings out a walrus, and it cuts to a close-up of the walrus, terrified, pleading "Call the police!" It's mind-boggling that this was allowed to be made.
