Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

yeah, the original is obscure, and part of a trilogy. i've seen exactly none of them 8(

miike remake is good, yes, especially the second half.

he also remade koboyashi's hara kiri (1962) the year after but that's a bit of a slower watch.

i did start watching a sad poignant french film about a little girl who tries to pass as a boy and it was good but i had to go to bed, i'll watch that again with maria sometime. she would like it. IN HONOR OF YOU MORBZ. it was actually kinda tense cuz she plays with all these boys and you don't want them to find out she's a girl. a real nail-biter!

i really liked valhalla rising but i probably already mentioned that on here.

i still think people should watch HELL. that movie was cool. come on, someone watch HELL.

samsara is awesome even if it is very DO YOU SEE in places-- not as good as baraka (and i still haven't seen any of the koyaanisqatsi trilogy) but its still very beautiful and trippy and wonderful

smoke a j and stream it, scott; thats my rec!

Portlandia suddenly gets like WAY better somewhere in midseason 2. An episode ends with Kyle McLaughlin's incredible "Portland Anthem" and then the next episode is Brunch Village.

not really in to portlandia but brunch village is good, they should do more episodes that are a single story arc, ditch the skits

yeah I don't mostly love the show, it's more just this default thing we put on when we want something short and light and can't decide on anything else. It's sort of comforting and rarely actually unpleasant to watch.

portlandia is funny! its okay if you guys like it you know. we won't tell anyone. its okay if you like Girls too. we are all friends here.

scott did you like the ep where they tried to take back mtv

i haven't seen them all! i need to watch the ones i haven't seen.

i was just gonna say that i enjoyed Ip Man on netflix and then i watch a youtube video that has a trailer for a movie produced by scorsese and samuel l. jackson called the grandmaster that is about ip man! i didn't watch ip man 2 yet though.

koyannnisquatssssiii

I laughed

The Grandmaster is directed by Wong Kar Wai! Was psyched to see it.

oh I watched Ip Man. It hit the spot as The Kind of Movie I Want To Watch When My Family Falls Asleep Early Enough For Me To Drink Two Beers Watch A Movie And Still Go To Bed At A Reasonable Time

Try this is martin bronner, its v good

Way psyched, I mean. I guess it's playing in theaters now. Maybe that's what I'll do today.

Watched 56 Up last night. Was OK. As good as most of those Up movies, although they're starting to feel a tad redundant to me. Kind of wish one of the people would freak out, quit their job, and become a drug mule or something just to spice up the series.

those poor Up people.

do you think they get paranoid about dying?

I thought 56 was the best one in awhile.

i saw 56up in the theaters when it first came out and the jockey guy was outside shaking hands and it BLEW MY MIND
he's short btw

I got a kick out of the guy who returned to the series after 30 years to promote his band.

i finally watched a cabin in the woods. what took me so long? that was fun. better late than never. trying samsara now with some silver haze. its cool in that tripped out national geographic way. the music is corny though. they should have paid someone to write a cool electronic score for it. old ruins do not have to have the same old ambient world music playing in honor of their oldness. i want to see old stuff with micro krautbeats in the background. did anyone see this at like an imax place? that would be far out. i just wish my t.v. were bigger.

uh oh some worldbeat action. GR8eeee!!! who is that dude who puts the make-up on and goes nuts with straw and becomes a scarecrow. that guy is nuts. wow.

why do people always have to speed up factory assembly lines when they put them in documentaries? i've seen super-speed assembly lines my whole life on t.v. and movies. maybe it would be soothing to watch an assembly line at normal speed. give it a chance.

scott, you want "How It's Made" for that (which is on Netflix!)

lots of normal-speed production processes

"the fall" is so depressing and good

man real talk

oh believe me i have seen plenty how it's made episodes. cyrus is a fan. michael stearns was the music guy on this. on samsara. they should have let him do all the music though. he's an electronic pioneer.

and lisa gerrard did stuff for this of course. i feel bad cuz i love DCD but she is just kind of a trademark of quality now that is almost anonymous.

this is the guy! this guy is my new hero.

he's a national treasure. i hope he gets paid lots of money.

that's pretty heavy, i like

he's a human Bacon painting.

i wanna do that the next time i'm in the pottery studio and just freak out the plebes

Watching "Dredd". Not sure why. It sucks much less than i expected. So far.

dude that movie is awesome did you not read what we said

btw I love the dredd comics and it is much truer to them and made by britishes

Also, it has Lena Headey who is great, even in questionable enterprises.

Yeah this is honestly super badass

i will watch that tomorrow. i missed the talk of goodness.

:)

Dredd definitely my favourite comic book movie of the last few years. (dislaimer: 2000ad is about the only non-kid comic I ever bought)

*Disclaimer*. Drokk

i want to watch the Solomon Kane movie but i'm afraid it's going to blow
so instead, i am watching more DS9.

It does blow, but you know you're gonna watch it. Just get it over with.

i love the Dredd movie!

in retrospect, i don't think the silver haze was the best pairing for Samsara. made me too peppy and took me out of the film. i'm getting some kandahar today and i think that would made a much better match:

"If you have just sniffed plants with strong candy-sweet aromas, then Kandahar will not seem sweet by comparison. However, on its own, this variety captures the complexity of a street bazaar with sour-sweet fragrances that combine ripe fruit and dry forest muskiness. Once cured, the buds are nice tight nuggets with a woodsy and nutty taste, and a hint of sandalwood. As they are burned, they get the pleasantly warm fragrance of toasted nuts. The high settles deep in the body with potential for couchlock intensity. Down tempo music, television, or other undemanding yet sensory activities will pair well with Kandahar’s sedating qualities. It’s all good – sit back, soak it in, and enjoy the satisfying sense of relaxation."

i mean if you are posting on the internet during a 70mm new age visual epic you are doing something wrong. i really gotta get a bigger t.v. too.

"Your Queue" is now "My List" which is sad b/c "queue" is a good word and Netflix is pretty much the only place most Americans get to use it.
