Another thumbs up for Exit Through the Gift Shop. Just watched the Joan Rivers doc this weekend, too.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye is a good doc, not sure if it's on Netflix instant.

Beautiful stuff like these seems worth waiting for the disc to show up, no?

I just watch Hoarders and old SNLs

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.

Not with my TV, no.

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.

Just watched Moon, pretty good.
Now starting the Red Riding Trilogy.

Just watched "I Think We're Alone Now" about two disturbed dudes obsessed with Tiffany. Pretty interesting, if a bit depressing.

Darin, Saturday, 25 December 2010 23:42 (2 years ago) Permalink

Come to think of it, both of the dudes are probably ILM regulars.

"probably"

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work was great, I really enjoyed it.

did they just add an HD feature/button today or did i just get it/notice it today?

No, they've been offering some stuff in HD for a while now.

aight, maybe it was just 'no reservations' then

so i watched the joan rivers, my god this lady

Yeah that Joan Rivers doc is pretty great. She's kind of simultaneously terrifying and amazing at the same time.

"ive been watching this too. I had no idea it was gone :("

i goofed or something. i watched the first couple episodes and then couldn't find it on the netflix menu on my t.v. and then i found it on the "recently watched" menu. so i got to watch the whole first season. such a sad show in a weird way. i don't know why it wasn't on the regular t.v. menu anymore. they just add and remove things randomly i guess.

scott seward, Monday, 27 December 2010 17:12 (2 years ago) Permalink

the black/white thing is pretty stark on mall cops.

yeh, we were 5 episodes into Archer (so great) and it's gone

I'm Still Here is up. That seems like a perfect NetFlix! streaming movie.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:38 (2 years ago) Permalink

I kind of hate this because I always go looking with something in mind and it's never available.

I am snowed in and need something to watch. Would I like the Joan Rivers thing? Tiffany one also strangely appealing. Any other suggestions for a lazy, snowy afternoon?

ENBB, Monday, 27 December 2010 18:40 (2 years ago) Permalink

x-post - oooh that might be ok!

Love that Tiffany doc.

I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:41 (2 years ago) Permalink

ENBB the Joan Rivers doc is worth a look. It adds some more layers to her, so that she's not just scary-plastic-surgery lady (but she absolutely is that too, lol)

Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

streaming netflix isnt really abt looking, its abt finding

ice cr?m, Monday, 27 December 2010 18:45 (2 years ago) Permalink

I get fed up too easily I think. Gonna try the Tiffany one but welcome more ideas.

ENBB, Monday, 27 December 2010 18:45 (2 years ago) Permalink

I watched about 20 minutes of this terrible movie called Gypsy '83 the other night. It was about a chubby goth chick who works in a photo hut in a parking lot, and she has a fey little goth buddy, and they terrorize the straights together. Sort of hilarious in a so-bad-its sort of way but definitely not for everyone.

I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh man what were the names of those little drive thru parking lot photo huts? There was a chain I remember going to all the time as a kid.

i've been trying to convince my girlfriend that john dies at the end will be worth watching but she ain't hearin' it. it's totally gonna be one of those arby's-drunk-and-lolling-all-by-his-lonesome deals. but anyway i couldn't find a thread for it, am i right?

Cabin in the Woods was great. Thanks Netflix thread for reminding me I was planning to watch! John Dies At The End cued up for my next movie time.

Has anyone watched Continuum? Canadian sci-fi show, apparently is showing on syfy in the US, involves a cop and some prisoners who jump back in time to 2012 from 20....77

Streaming media is really going to become the new VHS-vs-BETA, HD-DVD-vs-Blu-ray, huh.

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.
