Everybody seems to have hated snowpiercer but I thought it was pretty good.

Fish tank is excellent but it's very hard to watch.

big bad wolves outstays its welcome but it's ok. not great.

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 21 March 2016 20:06 (ten years ago)

Snowpiercer is a turd.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 21 March 2016 20:48 (ten years ago)

This reminds me, has anybody seen the documentary Wolfpack? Maybe the single most wtf thing I've seen on Netflix in the past year.

Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:03 (ten years ago)

Holy Motors, maybe not with the kids...probably goes w/o saying but pairs very well with a local smokable Movie Help. I've kept it in my queue to go back in and re-watch a scene or two. I also liked the Carax documentary.

Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:08 (ten years ago)

Helper

Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:09 (ten years ago)

i watched wolfpack movie. someone told me it's a big movie with teens/teen girls. cuz those guys are kindly oddly vampirish.

scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:28 (ten years ago)

For most of it I had a hard time telling them apart...my only disappointment was not seeing/hearing more of their music, seems like it wld be interesting.

plz watch blue ruin

it's so good

everyone itt: watch blue ruin if you haven't already

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 00:59 (ten years ago)

Yeah Blue Ruin's amazing

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:07 (ten years ago)

r. butt, go directly to A Separation, do not pass Go. One of the best films of the past quarter century.

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:10 (ten years ago)

And I would advise skipping Mr. Turner, kinda stupid I thought.

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:10 (ten years ago)

I liked Tangerine

dan selzer, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:32 (ten years ago)

Blue ruin thirded. and Tangerine. Blue is the warmest colour is a must-see tho

i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:38 (ten years ago)

i loved mr. turner but it's extremely in my wheelhouse

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:41 (ten years ago)

rondo putting up with dwight's constant shit is an amusing scenario

I love Robbery AND Fraud (Clay), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:01 (ten years ago)

We liked Blue is the Warmest but I think had to stop watching it for some reason (probably a kid woke up) and then never got back to it, which is basically what happens when we try to watch any >90 min movie. At least we saw the fingerbanging scene though, that was something.

human life won't become a cat (man alive), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:04 (ten years ago)

mr turner is great, admittedly not everyones cuppa tea tho

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:10 (ten years ago)

A Separation gets a recommendation from me too, though it's hard to be like "yeah i'm totally in the mood for this realistic depressing drama"

Nhex, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:29 (ten years ago)

i loved topsy turvy but the avatar/poster for mr turner just screams 'prestige picture' oscar bait

remove butt (abanana), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 04:05 (ten years ago)

listen to yourself

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 04:49 (ten years ago)

mike leigh isn't tom hooper

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 05:15 (ten years ago)

a separation, blue ruin, and mr. turner are not on netflix. streaming anyway.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:23 (ten years ago)

they are in canada

remove butt (abanana), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:36 (ten years ago)

wait, you all live in canada? you do not all live in canada.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:39 (ten years ago)

canada is pretty big.

ian, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:54 (ten years ago)

I thought that said "Grenlandia (duh)"

human life won't become a cat (man alive), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:58 (ten years ago)

watched half of Wetlands tonight. butt-tastic! will watch the other half tomorrow. keep thinking john waters must have put it on his best of the year list.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 03:40 (ten years ago)

Basically nothing mentioned in this thread is available to watch on Netflix Australia :(

like Uber, but for underpants (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 04:29 (ten years ago)

get the hola extension for chrome!

just1n3, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 04:36 (ten years ago)

Have done that in the past, but Hola seems to include the risk of all sorts of dodgy crap being run through your IP

like Uber, but for underpants (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 06:00 (ten years ago)

maybe their should be a separate Netflix thread for the Queen's subjects.

for the record, James, i definitely recommend Mad Max, Dogs In Space, Starstruck, and Walkabout.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:44 (ten years ago)

Get a VPN, that should do the region trick, right?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:45 (ten years ago)

i watched the jimmy carr special. you can get that in australia. his laugh started to drive me nuts though. also had no idea who he was.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:45 (ten years ago)

Wait, Blue Ruin is gone right now? Goddamnit, that's why I hate streaming. I just want every movie there, forever. I mean, I'm sure it'll be back, but I want it now!

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:47 (ten years ago)

That's why I still buy physical media and always remind myself that I can rely on Netflix for nothing.

I Can Say I Know We're Risin' Underneath The Blazin' Sky (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:53 (ten years ago)

jimmy carr is one of the enemies, just fyi

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 14:23 (ten years ago)

my vpn of choice, unblock us, just shit the bed fyi

ya hola has potential security risks, so sorry for recommending it earlier

but i believe it's one of few that still does the trick

hesitating to use it though

F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 16:33 (ten years ago)

i've emailed unblock-us and they recommended using new DNS servers, but netflix still no worky

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 16:49 (ten years ago)

yeah, jimmy carr was new to me. do all brit ilxors hate him? he DID get four A grades and a 2:1. #incomprehensiblebritisherwikiposts

After earning four 'A' grades at the GCE Advanced Level exams,[11] Carr read political science at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He graduated with a 2:1 in 1994.[2][12]

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 17:50 (ten years ago)

I finally finished the Canon doc, and man it's amazing how many of those shit movies I saw as a kid, and how how even back then I could tell they were pieces of shit.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 19:30 (ten years ago)

i have no idea what any of that means either scott but yes i'm pretty sure all brit ilxors hate him. he is sometimes funny in a narrow, chops sense of the word but he's also just snotty and awful and sneering

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 21:42 (ten years ago)

Hahahaa at #incomprehensiblebritishwiki

Jimmy Carr is terrible. I saw him once at a just for laughs gala among a bunch of other comedians and he was just so unfunny. I don't get his popularly. Also, Just for Laughs galas are horrible in general imo and I learned my lesson about them after getting drawn in by the comp media tickets a few years in a row - they tread a line of banality that makes me want to run screaming from it.

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:51 (ten years ago)

But as Canadians we cannot escape the just for laughs phenomenon :( or maybe now that not everyone has free CBC over the airwaves, we can. And if you live in Montreal long enough you will eventually get caught by - or quickly cross the street to avoid (I actually went 10 minutes out of my way once when they were in a park on my way to work) - a JFL Gags crew of shitty practical jokers with cameras. The absolute worst.

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:56 (ten years ago)

I'm watching Angel now and it is great

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:56 (ten years ago)

i've emailed unblock-us and they recommended using new DNS servers, but netflix still no worky

I think the unblock.us era is over. Funnily enough they just stopped accepting payment via paypal - I wonder if that reflects choppy legal waters for them somehow.

someone who just gets annoyed at bad tweets (stevie), Thursday, 24 March 2016 09:40 (ten years ago)

I use Freedome VPN, and a while ago it still allowed you to watch different countries' Netflix, but it seems they've found some way to detect these, because now all I get is a warning about proxies, and Netflix doesn't work until I turn Freedome off.

Tuomas, Thursday, 24 March 2016 10:49 (ten years ago)

traveling to other countries just to view their netflix selection: c/d
