The other night I wanted a movie to have on while I did some work in the living room. I picked one called Four Lions, and it turned out to be surprisingly good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Lions A group of young Muslim men living in Sheffield have become radicalised and aspire to become suicide bombers; Omar (played by Riz Ahmed), the leading member who is deeply critical of Western society; his dim-witted friend Waj (Kayvan Novak); Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a bad-tempered White convert to Islam, and naive Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who tries to train crows to be used as bombers.
Sports Night and Two and a Half Men are my most hated television shows of all time.

Four Lions is by Chris Morris of Brass Eye/The Day Today fame.

four lions is great but how can u put sports night on equal footing with two and a half men

Well, it's obviously a far better show in objective ways, but really I would much rather watch Two and a Half Men (either Charlie or Ashton) than Sports Night.

When I was out of town, I got hooked on the Mt. Everest trek reality show...
I think it's called Everest: Beyond The Limit or something.

i will also vouch for trollhunter!

Watched Bunny and the Bull last night. It was decent, probably better if you are a fan of The Mighty Boosh, definitely had some humorous moments, but overall I had a tough time making sense of it.

Also watched a David Bowie: Spiders From Mars Interviews, which was horrendous. It was a completely random assortment of very low quality interviews taken from throughout Bowie's career with little rhyme or reason. I ended up skipping through most of the 30 minute long Outside press conference that ended the video.
― Moodles, Thursday, 29 September 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
I really wish there were a better assortment of music films and videos on Watch Instantly. I feel like that isn't too much to hope for.

Betty Blue (aka "37°2 le matin") showed up today... Saw this in an arthouse theater overseas and was pretty crazy. Also it is interminably long.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 30 September 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
Haha, what a recommendation!
ummm, worth it if you like 70s elliot gould (and who doesn't) but not exactly a lost classic.
also features an insanely young Michael Lerner! agree it's not a good movie but the whole premise of it is so stupid/ridiculous I lol'd for all the wrong reasons at it ("yeah Elliot, show that runaway junkie prostitute who'e boss! uh... waitaminit")

Somehow my 11th-grade French class went to see that one in the theater. Uncomfortable opening shot.

Trollhunter was tons of fun.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 September 2011 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
I think it was "Not Rated."
― per metal injection (Eazy), Friday, 30 September 2011 22:27 (twelve years ago) link
Betty Blue is long enough. Never felt the need to watch the 45 year long version.

best part in true stories is DB driving the car down the interstate, talking about how they will appear like roman ruins in the future
― remy bean, Monday, 3 October 2011 01:05 (twelve years ago) link
wait, i lied. this is the best part, especially from 1:20 on.
― remy bean, Monday, 3 October 2011 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
Best part is the end credits that Tibor Kalman designed.
― per metal injection (Eazy), Monday, 3 October 2011 02:10 (twelve years ago) link
Best part is the couple walking hand in hand through plowed fields, ending with the girl asking if the boy farted.

I watched an anime called "Dead Leaves" the other night. 70% of it was the best, most psychedelic shit ever, and 30% was awful bullshit. But watch it for the good parts.

Been watching Raising Hope. Sort of over the top and ridiculous sitcom but i've really enjoyed it.
