Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

awesome, you're learning? i bet you're gonna be great when you can figure out how to center.

hmmmmm... was just thinking to myself "re-watching primer while you list stuff on ebay is probably a good way to spend this rainy miserable day." now, a double feature.

been watching Fringe cuzza you guys. well, maybe not specifically YOU guys. ilx in general. never would have watched it otherwise probably. still on the first season. definitely gets better with every episode and all the people in it get better too.

Marley is pretty good

also watched Kagemusha, liked that

did someone say the surreal-kung-fu-fantasy-dream-coma-alternate-reality-and-also-real-reality-movie "ink" was recommended and also on netflix watch instantly? cause i just saw it and i thought it was v good, like best movie i've seen this year good, you should watch it etc

Saw Cabin in Woods yesterday, pretty underwhelming. Feel like it needed the atmosphere/low expectations of a midnight movie audience.

feel like YOU nee

Yes, surprisingly movies don't work as well on my 27 inch TV that reflects the neighbour's garden wall, versus a cinema full of drunk excited people

cabin in the woods made me so mad

u crazy

It was FUN and original, but it was also sort of sloppy and "just okay". Whitford was great, but Richard Jenkins just passed me by, and the kids were just terribly bland (even by Scream standards).

describes every Joss Whedon thing

Cloverfield was much better (and scarier), despite being effectively non-meta and having equally nothingy protagonists

Crazy talk. Cloverfield made me yell at the screen. See Cabin again.

ive got my reservations about cabin in the woods level of hype, but its still one of the top 5 horror comedies of the last 10 years for sure

i liked the concept, i just got so mad that the way they flipped the script on a ~typical boring horror movie~ was by introducing elements from a ~typical boring mission impossible/superhero movie~

Merman

Flipped the script? The movie starts out pretty flipped! And Mission Impossible/Superhero?

by that i mean "hidden secret network of hyper-tech all accessed by a lone secluded command center" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

watched "Technicolor Dream" last night and really liked it. Mostly about the early years of Pink Floyd but also the underground in London in the sixties, the UFO club, the beats at the royal albert hall etc.

Oh that sounds good, I just read the joe boyd book a couple of months ago

he is interviewed fairly heavily in the film. there is some great floyd footage. pretty things also featured a bit. roger waters being a dick saying things like "i just wanted to get rich and fuck girls." and "i don't remember the london free school or any of that underground stuff.."

sold!

any ISB content?

a cinema full of drunk excited people

oh ppl go to the movies drunk? no wonder they all love shit.

convenient that you skipped over the "excited" part

i assumed it was a compound adjectival phrase

i started to watch some TNT or A&E prairie cops and indians series on netflix and kara thrace is on it!!!!! oh my god i almost died. i'm gonna watch the whole season with maria now. still trying to get maria to commit to watching battlestar with me cuz i will for some reason feel kinda lame if i watch it all over again by myself.

I've been wrestling for awhile with whether I would get happiness from rewatching the first, say, 3 seasons of bsg. Or if the last season retroactively skunked the whole thing. Man I loved that show for awhile.

i think that show might have changed my life in some way.

it had a profound effect on me anyway.

i still can't watch the prequel show. it just seems wrong somehow. knowing what i know.

More or less agree.

That unicorn gif is hilarious if thought as seamless.

many xposts:
no ISB content in the film iirc.

currently watching season 1 episode 4 of kids in the hall.. it's a real good episode.

Skot, I watched that whole series! Long-something. Longmire? Loved it even as I rolled my eyes.

my kids are stuck in the store all day cuz maria has jury duty any offbeat kid suggestions. they have seen so much netflix stuff already....don't judge us. they aren't really into anime. feel like that's an untapped thing. they like the moving castle dude, of course.

and they have no interest in superheroes! don't know how that happened. it wasn't anything i said...

think they are watching malcolm in the middle right now. that will probably hold them anyway.

we just finished season 7 of gilmore girls the other night. don't know how many 10 and 8 year old boys would want to watch 7 seasons of GG. i like to think they're special. took us awhile to do it. we would have binges. i kinda want to watch bad news bears with them tonight.

Did they watch Adventure Time yet?

i asked. cyrus loves it. rufus not so much.

cyrus watched a 6-part series on the history of animals on earth going back to the beginning of time. cgi extinct beasts and all that. bbc thing? pretty cool!

iirc the Nature episode on best animal friends in on netflix

REGULAR SHOW

rufus says he hates regular show and that its not as good as adventure time and that it's not very inventive or creative. i've never seen it. i am a lover of chowder and courage the cowardly dog. and flapjack. i think those three are three of the best shows i've ever seen. kid or not kid.

i only feel a little guilty about how much t.v. they've watched when i think of how many times they have seen every futurama episode. oof. but i probably saw every i love lucy episode 50 times by the time i was ten.

Regular show is a constantly repeated pattern, basically. 100+ variations on the same story. In that way, I could see it being "not creative", but it usually develops that story in a weird and fun way. Definitely not as expansive as Adventure Time, but it still has more likeable characters than most kids TV.
