Hank & Mike is A+...feels sorta like "It's Always Sunny".

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 13:57 (fourteen years ago)

Eisbaer, you're waaaaaaay off. They're 80s yuppies.

andrew m., Wednesday, 28 September 2011 14:13 (fourteen years ago)

ummm, worth it if you like 70s elliot gould (and who doesn't) but not exactly a lost classic.

adjust your color is gone. it was up only a few weeks ago. my apologies.

great doc, and some excellent chuck brown soundbites to go with it.

sports night is great

The other night I wanted a movie to have on while I did some work in the living room. I picked one called Four Lions, and it turned out to be surprisingly good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Lions
A group of young Muslim men living in Sheffield have become radicalised and aspire to become suicide bombers; Omar (played by Riz Ahmed), the leading member who is deeply critical of Western society; his dim-witted friend Waj (Kayvan Novak); Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a bad-tempered White convert to Islam, and naive Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who tries to train crows to be used as bombers.

Sports Night and Two and a Half Men are my most hated television shows of all time.

Je55e, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 19:35 (fourteen years ago)

Four Lions is by Chris Morris of Brass Eye/The Day Today fame.

polyphonic, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 19:37 (fourteen years ago)

four lions is great but how can u put sports night on equal footing with two and a half men

thank you BIG HOOS, you brilliant god-man (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 20:10 (fourteen years ago)

Well, it's obviously a far better show in objective ways, but really I would much rather watch Two and a Half Men (either Charlie or Ashton) than Sports Night.

Je55e, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:11 (fourteen years ago)

When I was out of town, I got hooked on the Mt. Everest trek reality show...

I think it's called Everest: Beyond The Limit or something.

that is pretty good. think it saw that when it was first on.

Chuck Lorre presents: Four and a Half Lions.

per metal injection (Eazy), Thursday, 29 September 2011 14:40 (fourteen years ago)

i will also vouch for trollhunter!

guh (jjjusten), Thursday, 29 September 2011 15:13 (fourteen years ago)

Watched Bunny and the Bull last night. It was decent, probably better if you are a fan of The Mighty Boosh, definitely had some humorous moments, but overall I had a tough time making sense of it.

Moodles, Thursday, 29 September 2011 18:55 (fourteen years ago)

Also watched a David Bowie: Spiders From Mars Interviews, which was horrendous. It was a completely random assortment of very low quality interviews taken from throughout Bowie's career with little rhyme or reason. I ended up skipping through most of the 30 minute long Outside press conference that ended the video.

Moodles, Thursday, 29 September 2011 18:57 (fourteen years ago)

I really wish there were a better assortment of music films and videos on Watch Instantly. I feel like that isn't too much to hope for.

Moodles, Thursday, 29 September 2011 18:59 (fourteen years ago)

Betty Blue (aka "37°2 le matin") showed up today... Saw this in an arthouse theater overseas and was pretty crazy. Also it is interminably long.

citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:34 (fourteen years ago)

Haha, what a recommendation!

citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:34 (fourteen years ago)

ummm, worth it if you like 70s elliot gould (and who doesn't) but not exactly a lost classic.

also features an insanely young Michael Lerner! agree it's not a good movie but the whole premise of it is so stupid/ridiculous I lol'd for all the wrong reasons at it ("yeah Elliot, show that runaway junkie prostitute who'e boss! uh... waitaminit")

unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

Somehow my 11th-grade French class went to see that one in the theater. Uncomfortable opening shot.

per metal injection (Eazy), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:39 (fourteen years ago)

Hahahaha, wow. Was it NC-17?

citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:47 (fourteen years ago)

Trollhunter was tons of fun.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 September 2011 22:09 (fourteen years ago)

I think it was "Not Rated."

per metal injection (Eazy), Friday, 30 September 2011 22:27 (fourteen years ago)

Betty Blue is long enough. Never felt the need to watch the 45 year long version.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 September 2011 23:10 (fourteen years ago)

wow, trollhunter was great!

congratulations (n/a), Saturday, 1 October 2011 00:44 (fourteen years ago)

The Bill Cunningham movie was something special.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 1 October 2011 02:38 (fourteen years ago)

Death Wish II !!!
One of the greatest soundtracks of all time

citation needed (Steve Shasta), Sunday, 2 October 2011 06:16 (fourteen years ago)

adding to the trollhunter praise. good fun.

andrew m., Sunday, 2 October 2011 15:13 (fourteen years ago)

Found "Athens. GA: Inside/Out." Great mid-80s doc of the Athens music scene.

David Byrne Flick - True Stores, Why have I never heard of this before?

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 3 October 2011 00:54 (fourteen years ago)

best part in true stories is DB driving the car down the interstate, talking about how they will appear like roman ruins in the future

remy bean, Monday, 3 October 2011 01:05 (fourteen years ago)

wait, i lied. this is the best part, especially from 1:20 on.

remy bean, Monday, 3 October 2011 01:08 (fourteen years ago)

Best part is the end credits that Tibor Kalman designed.

per metal injection (Eazy), Monday, 3 October 2011 02:10 (fourteen years ago)

Best part is the couple walking hand in hand through plowed fields, ending with the girl asking if the boy farted.

der dukatenscheisser (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 19:56 (fourteen years ago)

Who are we kidding. Its the Spalding Grey dinner table scene.

der dukatenscheisser (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 19:57 (fourteen years ago)

Anyone seen Born To Win? Also Panic At Needle Park is available. Really good early Al Pacino movie.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 19:58 (fourteen years ago)

if you're nostalgic for baby-boomer nostalgia, The Wonder Years is now up.

'the man from nowhere' - exceptionally entertaining, extremely violent, OTT sentimental korean action thriller that is often pretty moving

omar little, Thursday, 6 October 2011 20:32 (fourteen years ago)

Gimme a good horror movie that is on instantview. I wanna get in the witchy spirit.
