Netflix Streaming Film Recommendations: Because You Can't Always Play With Yourself

i have like no special opinions on ps3. it seems like it's "play" or "stop". how do you get to these options?

it's on the launch page for the individual film: where you see "play" "more episodes" "rate".
not every film has the audio option, but many do.
and i should point out that i have not SEEN a commentary track yet, i just read that they were including them.

even the addition of regular subtitles/closed captioning would be great, though what i'd really love would be Japanese audio tracks for anime

Did Netflix offer anyone else 2% credit for streaming problems? The amount is stupidly amusing to me.

Yeah I got that too.

Candyman
Creepshow

Dear Netflix,

Please add all season of Top Chef to streaming.

thx.

if i start logging all of the instant watch i do im going to start feeling really bad about how i use my time tbh

haha forks i see you watched visions of suffering - what a light hearted romp!

Hmm, what is up with them lately - second time this month I've gotten that "we're sorry streaming service was interrupted, have some account credit" email

maybe they're overloaded from the new PS3/Wii updates

yeah, i didn't get to the end of more than a few of those.
just the Julia Child parts on Julie and Julia, jumped around through visions of suffering/life of plants/fritz the cat, just the first twenty minutes of Lexx

Last of the Living - this is like some asshole's attempt to make a cool zombie flick. shaun of the dead minus the creativity.

I heartily recommend the MST3K episode "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman" to everyone with Netflix

I wish I could watch a non-MST3K version of it. I prefer to generate my own inane commentary.

you really do NOT want to watch a non-MST3K version of this movie

like, I can't imagine anything less fun

well actually pounding spikes into your eyes would be less fun

I dunno, you should see some of the garbage I've enjoyed.

maybe they're overloaded from the new PS3/Wii updates
lol goddam

"For service providers, this is a double-whammy: not only are they losing revenue to these over-the-top offerings, ..."

because all isps sell movies too, you see

some of these shovelware film descriptions kill me:
BRAZIL: 1944 - The plot is set in motion by authoress Nicky Henderson (Virginia Bruce), who has hit the best-seller charts with her latest tome, Why Marry a Latin?

CHASING THE KIDNEYSTONE: 1996 - When his grandfather comes down with a mysterious ailment, young Simon (Torbjörn T. Jensen) shrinks himself to miniscule size and embarks on an odyssey through the old man's body to seek and destroy the culprit: a nasty kidney stone. On his unusual expedition, Simon meets all sorts of curious characters, including a cute little blood cell and an irate bile duct. Vibeke Idsøe directs this inventive children's adventure.

THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT: 1986 - Years after his Uncle Charles (Dick Sargent) cruelly and unjustly has him committed to a mental asylum, Robert Knight (Bernard White) manages to escape and immediately tracks Charles down at an upcoming family reunion. Along the way, Robert makes a detour to abduct his cousin (Lauren Woodland). After sharing a meal and conversation, the two set off to the reunion, where Robert plans to dispense gory vengeance.

Also HOLY SHIT that the Jesco White documentary is now streaming! I haven't thought of that guy in a decade!

Chasing the Kidney Stone is amazing folks. Definitely worth a peek.
And "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" (produced by Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville, yet) was a great doc; I totally grew up around this kinda ghetto white trash and they're pretty wild to visit.

America's Funniest Animals seasons 8 AND 9

wow lots of stuff, including "Cropsey"!

Yeah, cropsey kinda sucks.

i love when they have to create "box art" for el cheapo films

Poor lady. Only getting the attention of gay bullfighters.

*chuckle*

Oh man, cropsey wasn't good? I was looking forward to that one.

yeah, it was a bummer. first half is okay and then it runs out of ideas and material and just becomes a bad history channel thing.

CHASING THE KIDNEYSTONE: 1996 - When his grandfather comes down with a mysterious ailment, young Simon (Torbjörn T. Jensen) shrinks himself to miniscule size and embarks on an odyssey through the old man's body to seek and destroy the culprit: a nasty kidney stone. On his unusual expedition, Simon meets all sorts of curious characters, including a cute little blood cell and an irate bile duct. Vibeke Idsøe directs this inventive children's adventure.

Sounds amazing.

kidneystone is dubbed and kinda amazing

seriously, these cheapo film "boxes" are killing me

Victims for Victims looks potentially awesome.

SADDELMATES?

If that's not gay porn, then my gaydar is broken.

i may link the victims for victims for flamewars with no real winner

Need something to watch tonight

I wish Star Trek: TNG was on netflix streaming.

You could do Battlestar, Eureka, Dollhouse, Doctor Who, Buffy, Heroes, Lost, Firefly, Stargate, Torchwood, Terminator: Connor Chronicles, X Files, Roswell, Xena, Hercules, Quantum Leap, Highlander, Kolchak, Buck Rogers, V, Babylon Five, Primeval, Jekyll, Hyperdrive, Red Dwarf, MST3K, Dead Zone, Sliders, Amazing Stories, Lexx, Greatest American Hero...

Babylon 5! Good suggestion. Right after I finish jackass 2.5

I have been making may way through xena, since I used to watch it twice a day in college. I can't remember if the first season was just meh, or it really hasn't aged well.
