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?

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.

a few months back i watched "salsa: latin pop music in the cities", a doc on salsa in nyc from 1979 - intimate performances and interviews with fania peeps, sociopolitical angles, the palmieris teaching some grade school kids, it's pretty great

for real tho, i just watched the black sabbath paranoid installment of classic albums. could barely understand a word ozzy said!

I watched the "Face Value" one and it was pretty good!

I liked in the Sabbath one where they play Ozzy's nonsensical but classic working vocal from 'Paranoid'

i believe that face values is dark! i hope they interviewed michael mann for it.

I watched the Sabbath thing too! It was surprisingly interesting. I loved the old footage and Geezer talking about how he was into hippie shit.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Sunday, 13 May 2012 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
I saw that yesterday! Geezer comes across as the most genuine human ever. And when they solo out his bass track... wow.

so far the steely dan aja is my favorite from that series (but i would say that).

All of the Up movies are on streaming. I'm rewatching in preparation for 56 up

Tom Petty one was ok, I guess I just don't get the big deal about that album. Nice to learn Jim Kelter played uncredited shaker on "Refugee."
The best bit of "Aja" is when you hear all the different guitarists and solos that didn't make the cut for the album.
My faves may be Fleetwood Mac and the Band, but I'm not sure either is streaming.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 14 May 2012 02:39 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, take it back, "Rumours" is there.

Cannot recommend enough. Remarkable footage and Felipe Luciano as narrator is perfect.
Seems like these days the ol' Netflix account exists primarily for docs. The fictional content keeps getting worse.

That reminds me that I mean to watch that salsa doc -- three reminders = just enough apparently.

I was very happy to see the on some days totally unsung masterpiece "The Game" is in the proper aspect ratio. I was worried, especially after watching "Rango" in altered form.

Refn's Drive now available. We all watched it tonight; I liked it well enough, but my wife and daughter were fed up pretty quickly. Taking note of the nonstop teal and orange was kind of entertaining.

for some reason, I was able to suspend disbelief for the action scenes in Drive, but not the love story.

WHAT WHY
is it 4:3??!?!?!?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 21 May 2012 14:40 (twelve years ago) link
why do they even MAKE versions of movies at that aspect ratio these days??
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 21 May 2012 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
You asking about Rango? Rango was closer to 1.85, but to be fair, a lot of CGI animated films aren't pan and scanned but digitally recomposed for 1.85, which is a much better option.
"Game" was glorious Scope.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 21 May 2012 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
oic.
ya, i find a weird number of films on netflix are 4:3 p&s, what kind of lazy asshole studios send over those versions? because it's for tv? what's wrong with people?
