Season five and six of Larry Sanders! Watched in two days.
Also "No One Killed Jessica" which came out about a month ago and was universally well reviewed.

"We will continue to support Netflix on the package goods side and continue to work with them to provide Blu-ray and DVD copies of the films we release, but all of the films that are currently on Netflix streaming will be down by the end of the year. In case you're curious, we're as committed as ever to the physical goods side of our releases and will publish more DVDs and BDs this year than ever before."

the fact that you cant just see every movie ever on one streaming service is a black eye for capitalism democracy and freedom itself

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 17:32 (thirteen years ago) link

has anybody (like ever in the history of the world) tried hulu plus on ps3? How's it look?

Hulu sucks. Team Netflix!

Day Break with Taye Diggs and Moon Bloodgood! It starts out kinda shaky but I'm a sucker for shows with a time-travel premise and unabashed sentimentality.

Holy shit @ Little Otik. Saw this years ago in LA, pretty amazing, holds up.

johnny crunch, Sunday, 6 March 2011 00:13 (thirteen years ago) link

Mordy, Sunday, 6 March 2011 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link

"Ruby Yacht" from season 5 is a classic

los blue jeans, Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:15 (thirteen years ago) link

Sesame Street too!

I just want to give a shout-out to Buzzy Beetles (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 6 March 2011 04:04 (thirteen years ago) link

restrepo is powerful. usually stay away from serious movies on streaming but put it on thinking I would half pay attention and turn it off if I got bored, neither of those things occurred. feel like it should be required viewing in high school.

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 16 March 2011 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link

has anyone seen "north face" or "police, adjective"? not typical guy movies but movies my wife probably wouldn't want to watch. also movies i can't watch while working due to subtitles

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 16 March 2011 23:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Caddyshack and an assload of porn

ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Wednesday, 16 March 2011 23:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Police, Adjective has a lot of long takes of the policeman protagonist standing around on the street waiting for a pot deal to occur where very little happens. There are two conversation sequences (one between him and his wife, the other with his boss) that pay off, but the film is definitely tough-going arthouse fare.

Neue Jesse Schule, Wednesday, 16 March 2011 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link

huh, not what i'm in the mood for. thanks.

I kinda liked MONSTERS, reminded me of a low-budget District 9/Children of Men/Jurassic Park.

taco al pastorius (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 17 March 2011 00:13 (thirteen years ago) link

The ending is kinda whatevs, but it's entertaining.

taco al pastorius (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 17 March 2011 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link

Is Caddyshack a guy movie?

ENBB, Thursday, 17 March 2011 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

There are lots of movies about bears on netflix streaming. Of the ones I've seen, I rank them:

1. Grizzly Park
2. Grizzly Rage
3. Bear

Jeff, Thursday, 17 March 2011 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link

n/a have you seen ong bak 1 or 2

I am sorry for my insensitive tweet (Edward III), Thursday, 17 March 2011 01:44 (thirteen years ago) link

i think all of rocky & bulwinkle which blows my mind i need a fan guide/index

i mostly only know the first few seasons but:

the (extremely long) first story arc starts out pretty rocky (HA HA) but gets good about halfway through--at least by the time they go to Pottsylvania, which is around episode 13.

box tops robbery (last six episodes of S1) is essential, as, basically, is upsidasium (beginning of S2) but there's a lot of dead air in upsidasium.

wailing whale is so-so but an early episode contains The Best Rocky And Bullwinkle Joke; it is utterly flawless; it involves a shipping magnate. i am laughing thinking about it. your mileage may vary of course but i mean i would be pretty surprised if someone could stand rocky and bullwinkle at all and did not think this was hilarious.

all the fractured fairy tales are worth it; most of the aesop and sons are too but you'll miss edward everett horton; dudley do-right is fun if you're in the mood; fuck peabody and sherman.

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link

there's one great peabody and sherman opening where it just fades in abruptly on peabody and he says "hello out there. peabody's my name. i suppose you know yours." but it's downhill from there.

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link

fuck peabody and sherman.

aghhhhhhhhh MAN, i was so on board with you until this

ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:07 (thirteen years ago) link

don't get me wrong, peabody and sherman aren't the main attraction, but c'mon

ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link

i dunno i mean i spent my childhood watching tapes of these over and over and over again so maybe they wouldn't seem so bad to someone who wasn't already sick of them (cf. also CAPTAIN PETER "WRONGWAY" PEACHFUZZ, THE WORLD'S WORST SAILOR) but--and this is gonna sound just completely ridiculous--they're so contrived.

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:10 (thirteen years ago) link

like, william tell has gone blind and can't hit the apple, so peabody places a "small but powerful magnet" in the apple, attracting william tell's arrowhead and making him hit it dead-on, which like okay maybe it is just how smug peabody is with his little bow tie about his Genius Solutions that could not possibly ever work that gets on my nerves

but then i mean i guess that is the point of peabody and sherman

i dunno
