Have you watched Rango? It won an Oscar, which is usually the kiss of death, but it's a lot of fun.

i'm always looking for some new-ish big-name glitzy hollywood thing that i never would have seen at the movies but that i would watch at home and i never find any of those.
True inner peace can only be found by letting go of the possibility that Netflix Instant will ever not be shitty at that sort of thing.

rare export is the movie with the evil santa dug up from under the mountain, right? it was good!
― humba (NZA), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
watched most of rango with the kids the other day. i was REALLY impressed by that opening highway sequence. truly imaginative.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago) link
meanwhile, how did i never notice that there are TWELVE jean rollin movies on netflix! surely there are some i've never seen. just have to remember which ones. all those erotic vampire titles blend together.

i was gonna say that days of heaven and serpico just started to stream, but i don't think that either is what you're looking for scott?!?
― kurwa mać (Polish for "long life") (Eisbaer), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:22 (twelve years ago) link
well, days of heaven is my second favorite movie, so, its fine. and serpico is cool. its not like there aren't good movies on there. i think i might actually watch bad company, the 1972 jeff bridges movie. or maybe the naked city. or maybe both.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:25 (twelve years ago) link
but i definitely see a jean rollin marathon in my future. lots of french wine and cheese and just watch the blood flow. so demented and wonderful.

skot otm rollin is the best

finders keepers just put out a comp of music from jean rollin movies that's fantastic
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:42 (twelve years ago) link
Watched Altman's 3 Women the other night and it was fantastic. Duvall at her ... well, alien best. Just bizarre. Apparently he let her roll with the adlib and it shows but it's really integral to the tone I think. So good. And she's like a damn insect in that swimsuit.

Bad Company is a good one for you dudes who haven't seen it. i haven't seen it since vhs days.

i loved Tracks back in the day. Crazy movie. Henry Jaglom!
Definitely watch Deadhead Miles. It's great. And Blue Sunshine is essential viewing. R.I.P. Zalman King.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
think i recommended Busting upthread. Basically a proto-80s cop buddy movie. Plot-wise pretty dumb, but its got Gould! The Killing is pretty good so far, but I'm worried that I'm going to be angry at it by the end of the season. Am I going to be angry?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
Everyone else was angry so you will probably be angry, yes.

ugh too much stuff to watch. I need to live in a wifi enabled cabin for 3 months to get through my queue.
speaking of baretta, electra glide in blue was streaming for a while but it's gone now :(
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
yeah don't watch the killing.

Every time I check out this service these days the selection is more and more wretched, really just the dregs and the worst of the worst that they try to pawn off on you. Real bargain basement, gas station DVD, Target during January sales misery.
― og (admrl), Sunday, 8 April 2012 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
It does have Peep Show still though, maybe I should watch that again.
― og (admrl), Sunday, 8 April 2012 02:33 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I find that if you view it as an on-demand tv service that happens to have movies, it seems much more realistically like a product that its parent company is banking on the success of.

Netflix Instant is like if you wanted to do some serious grocery shopping but you stumbled into this weird hole in the wall that has a few of the things that you actually wanted to buy but mostly just, like, Chocodiles and Crystal Pepsi and other stuff where you're like, oh, I haven't seen that in forever...I guess it'll do.
― 1 of paper = 4 of coin (Deric W. Haircare), Sunday, 8 April 2012 06:12 (twelve years ago) link
it's more like a bizarre aisle at the grocery store, really.

or like walking into a macy's at the mall where they're out of jeans but there's a lot of weird and vintage consignment shit in the back

Yeah Busting is almost a great movie. A so close yet so far kinda thing. Robert Blake and Elliot Gould hanging out in the bathroom is pretty great stuff.
