Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I watched Upside Down a couple months ago. It's gorgeous. It's also terrible. But it's REALLY gorgeous.

room 237 is streaming now, looking forward to finally seeing it...

WHOA HOLY SHIT I AM SO EXCITED ABT THIS

i can never tell if LvT's movies are supposed to be funny or not. i guess that's the mark of a true master. always keep them guessing.

has anyone even tried "derek" at all? it has the least appealing ads ever

dude i got 90 seconds into derek

i actualyl was looking for a thread for it because i wanted to talk about how weirded out i was by it, RG's comedy underbite just freaked me the fuck out

I don't really like Ricky Gervais (there, I said it, come and get it) and the info looks horrible

i haven't watched any of his tv shows since the office bc he creeps me out as a person but i kind of want to watch a little of this one just out of morbid curiosity.

ha upside down looks amazing *adds to queue*

and yeah melancholia was great

does she have any other two planets movies

there has been tons of gervais talk on the coogan-vs-gervais thread.

derek is just...words fail me. there is no explanation for it. dude had the world in his hand after the office just as borat had the world in his hand after borat. and they both just blew it pretty bad.

SBC: Bruno is very good, and I liked his performance in Hugo. He makes an excellent cartoon villain/preening doofus.

Gervais is dead to me.

re: Gervais

I liked Extras, and to a lesser extent, Life's Too Short. Derek just screams awful, though.

ya SBC is funny in some other stuff for sure. talladega nights

i will cop to not totally hating "the dictator." it's dumb and nowhere as good or interesting as borat, but some of it made me laugh.

i dare anyone here to watch more than one episode of derek.

dare-ek

i couldnt get through more than a couple scenes.

"the dictator" is mostly bad but ben kingsley being in it amazes me

yeah sbc is fine in unrecognizable bad guy roles. this is true. but him and gervais had cache! its so hard to get cache. and now nobody really cares about either of them. i have no doubt that they will have steady employment in the future.

you need to take a long hard look at ben kingsley's imdb page then

I forgot SBCohen was in Les Misérables! Borat siiiiings

The Love Guru
Guru Tugginmypudha

BloodRayne
Kagan

Thunderbirds
The Hood

ha yes he picks the best movies love that guy

I know ben kingsley is in slop, but I can never stop being entertained by that

that said, his performance in iron man 3 was much better

its the curse of gandhi.

i like seeing his face. he's always good in anything just cuzza that good face.

he's in billions of movies. some are even good! but he's just in... everything. the curse of gandhi: the inability to rest as an actor

i interviewed him once, in person, just one on one. it was kind of awesome

oh what was he like

omg I am jealous

do you think he'd drop into a character he had done if you asked him really nicely, I want to hear some ghandi dialogue delivered as his character from sexy beast

well i had heard all sorts of bad things from the PR people about him, he was driving them all crazy with his demands, so i was worried he'd be a really hard interview, but it turned out that he (like many UK actors) really knows how to put on the charm for the press and was totally courtly and delightful "oh hellO mark, how WONDERFUL to see you today, please do sit down..." it was awesome, like i was getting a one-man-show from him

like i was worried he was going ot be don logan incarnate but instead he was the charmingest

ben kingsley is in that new ender's game movie with like a full face tattoo thing, just think of him every single morning in the makeup chair for hours getting his face tattoo put on for a terrible cgi sci fi thing when harrison ford breezes in and smokes a joint in the corner

[erased ben kingsley story]
i like the Ricky Gervais show and the original office but damn that guy is not-in-a-i-want-to-have-sex-with-him-way-but-just-straight-up annoying

ben kingsley is awesome.

guys forks had a kingsley story but he deleted it

shh we're ignoring that

one time I oiled his bald head and he rubbed it all over my body

eh i just typed out a paragraph but realized in retrospect it sounded catty and name-dropping so fuggit

ben kingsley orgy

Ben, loooooved you in Prince of Persia.

as for Gervais I haven't watched any of his post-Office series, but the "Jodie Foster's beaver" joke at the GGs is its own justification of a career.

hahaha it's funny because she has a vagina

and vagina is short for beaver

and she made a movie starring Mel Gibson's vagina
