Oh shit Winter's Bone! I know what I'm watching tonight.

The Hired Hand

Cold Weather is on Instant. I recommend it.

13 Assassins is up - really good movie although the final battle scene kinda wore me out.

Watched it yesterday. It was good fun. Also watched Rubber and, er, no.

looks like a bunch of new stuff just popped up? not sure when this was added but it was as good as i'd heard.

Jan Svankmajer: The Ossuary and Other Tales(The Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer: The Ossuary and Other Tales)

the ossuary has been on instant for a while now. i know, i've had it in my instant queue for a very long time.

witch hunt, about the kern county child abuse cases of the 80s, is pretty good - pretty devastating to see more than a decade of these people's lives taken from them, and amazing to see how not-bitter they are about it.

Notting Hill kept coming up as a recommendation - like my watching Remains of the Day and some old Jane Austen movies is somehow related to this film?? bleh - and so i watched 20 minutes of it this morning - so bad! i remember it being bad but not THIS BAD. also weird how *everyone else* in the film is way more interesting than the two main characters.

(in instant watch obv)

Poetry is up, which I hope to watch later this week.

a whole shit-ton of old Paul Morrissey (read: Andy Warhol) films are set to expire on 9/1/11. so if yer curious about stuff like trash, heat, blood for dracula and flesh for frankenstein and/or you have a thing for joe dallesandro or udo kier, now's the time to check 'em out.

Murder Loves Killers Too is up for bleak horror fans

criterion movie i'd never heard of: "the hit" with old terrence stamp, middle-aged john hurt and young tim roth

Roy Orbison: Black & White Night is a good one-hour concert. All-star band: Waits on organ, Springsteen et al.

whoa

Apocalypto!

I've been thinking I needed to RESCREEN this one again. (NB: I didn't mind The Passion, thought it was way better than the critical pannings).

Also need James Bond recommendations.

OHMSS

never saw potc but i dig apocalypto

curious abt tony manero

anyone seen it?

the spy who loved me and for your eyes only are the best of the Roger Moore Bond films available via streaming.

i'm also rather fond of you only live twice.

Tony Manero's was okay IIRC.

DUMPLINGS! is available to watch instantly (this is the Bai Ling eats fetuses to stay young movie.)

Even though it sounds like it should be, it's not a documentary.

Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff is currently blowing my mind.

i am really excited to watch that

watched straight time w/ dustin hoffman, theresa russell, gary busey, harry dean stanton etc. maybe not a masterpiece, but the cast is great, some good 70s socal locations. a young kathy bates, which was weird. never seen anything with her pre-Misery, I think and this is at least a decade before that.

That one's worth it alone for the highway scene w/M. Emmet Walsh

yeahhh, that guy! so good in everything. that scene really took me by surprise, the film had been such a low key character study up til that point.
harry dean stanton is amazing in this. theresa russell looking pretty cute, though her interest in hoffman's character is pretty unbelievable.

First 3 seasons of Breaking Bad are up.

Blackmail is My Life! So much fun.

I'm on a Japanese exploitation tear. About to watch STRAY CAT ROCK: SEX HUNTER.

the arbor is worth checkin out imo

So is conans tour dvd streaming on NFX or am going to have to pony up 7.99 to watch it on demand?

watchin cypher, p good loosely futuristic corporate espionage thing.

Tons of Discovery channel stuff today.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends! Watch them fight Video Man! Watch their dog save them from the clutches of the Chameleon! Revel in the poor animation of 1981!

Mentioned this in the movie's own thread, but Bill Cunningham New York is streaming; good doc.

Barcelona is streaming. Watched it last night for first time in a decade and it's still great and Chris Eigeman is still funny as hell. They may as well stream all Whit Stillman.

I watched most of "Conan the Barbarian" the other day, and the entire time I kept thinking, man, you could never get away with anything this slow and dull today. And then I remembered there was a totally not slow and dull remake that came out, like, mere weeks ago that flopped hard with a vengeance. So basically I revised my thoughts and figured, you know, they probably just shouldn't make "Conan the Barbarian" movies.

I've had Netflix for a week, btw, and boy does it piss me off that the aspect ratios are often wrong. "2001" isn't even in 'Scope! (!?!?!)

didn't much like barcelona back in the day ... the travails of 90s yuppies in Barcelona didn't have much appeal to me then. perhaps i'll watch it again though.

i may check out hank and mike ... potty-mouthed unemployed Canadians in rabbit suits, yo!

Twin Peaks
Carlos: Mini Series
Zardoz
Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene

a show that maybe only i like called Wicked Attraction; it's a true crime thing & really heavy & twisted sometimes but theres something abt the budget editing, etc. that lightens it enough that i find it wildly entertaining

Watched Zardoz recently, although not on netflix instant. Supremely bad-good.

Hank & Mike is A+...feels sorta like "It's Always Sunny".

Eisbaer, you're waaaaaaay off. They're 80s yuppies.

i liked Hank and Mike way more than I expected to, its pretty great

sunny, the conan thing is up on netflix now

Adjust Your Color isnt showing up for me which is ;_;

watching sports night, lovin it

Oh, is it on there? That's great.

Hey, season one of Louie is back on, too.

watched this over the weekend

ummm, worth it if you like 70s elliot gould (and who doesn't) but not exactly a lost classic.
