i tried getting into star command but it was a bit painful

Watched this the other day, better than I expected. Always hoped for a doc on the subject.

It's awful, but it's a kind of awful I enjoy

putting in an extra good word for the toynbee tiles doc

For those of you who enjoy British comedy, I see now that the show "The Comic Strip Presents..." is now streaming. As a teenage adamrl, this was like the height of subversive comedy for me and I look forward to rewatching it bathed in golden nostalgia. However, I also fear that it is now going to seem really dated and have a grating laugh track.

Back on Instant for a month at least!
If anyone has a spare 426 minutes, Mysteries of Lisbon is up and it's amazing. In case it hasn't been mentioned.
Anyone seen My Joy?

Beginning of August brings a ton of espn 30 for 30 docs. I can finally catch up.
Echoing others, let me know exactly when this happens.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 26 July 2012 02:04 (eleven years ago) link
I missed most of those 30 for 30 docs when they came out so I'm stoked as well. The few I have seen were really good.

pretty sure i've seen all the official 30 for 30 ones, hoping the post-30 ones are in that clutch.
we discuss these in detail here: a 30 for 30 thread

Just found this site; was not aware that it was possible to know what was coming to Netflix streaming in advance until the mention above of forthcoming 30 on 30 docs...anyway, looks like LOTS to look forward to on 8/1!
― cwkiii, Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:28 (eleven years ago) link
They've got the same info as Instant Watcher: http://instantwatcher.com/upcoming_titles
If my experience with that site is anything to go by, those don't tend to be everything that gets released on instant, so it's useful to check every now and again to see what's been released over the past week in case you've missed something. If you're a nerd like me, that is.
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:31 (eleven years ago) link
coooool, all the new 30 for 30s too!
― I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 July 2012 22:37 (eleven years ago) link
Didn't know about Instant Watcher either; I've been using this for recent releases and totally oblivious of upcoming releases.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 26 July 2012 23:35 (eleven years ago) link
just watched "resurrect dead", you guys are right. it ruled.
spoiler:
i'm in philly and kind of wanted to stake out that dude's apt. but it appears he died in 2009?

i wonder if Houston winning the NBA Finals is featured on the 30-for-30: June 17, 1994 episode ... b/c that was what i was watching when the network kept cutting in w/ excerpts of OJ and his white bronco.
― KARLOR CAN FUCK ANYTHING! AND HE WILL AND HAS!!! (Eisbaer), Sunday, 29 July 2012 03:11 (eleven years ago) link
The NBA finals is part of it
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Sunday, 29 July 2012 04:48 (eleven years ago) link
eisbaer have you seen the june 17, 1994 episode? cuz it is something else, difficult to call a documentary (though i did learn stuff from it as well as being reminded of a ton of stuff i'd forgotten), more a cross between a hallucination and a recreation. would love to see that approach used again.
― balls, Sunday, 29 July 2012 05:05 (eleven years ago) link
eisbaer have you seen the june 17, 1994 episode?
no, that was why i was asking!

It is really really cool. Watch it
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Sunday, 29 July 2012 05:13 (eleven years ago) link
oj's the centerpiece obv but it also touches on arnold palmer's last ever round at the us open, the rangers victory parade, the rockets-knicks game. it's all tv footage from the day (generally) all cut up, like flipping between channels, no talking heads or narration (i believe, if so it's at the very end or beginning and i've forgotten it).
― balls, Sunday, 29 July 2012 05:13 (eleven years ago) link
there's also some cool baseball stuff in there.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Sunday, 29 July 2012 05:19 (eleven years ago) link
yes. seriously i loved that approach so much that if some network were to create a show where they just did that to some interesting day for every year there's enough tv footage to really do it right i would just eat it up. at the same time i'm a weirdo who gets off on watching old network bumpers and listening to real time excerpts of dallas radio the day of the kennedy assassination so the market for this sort of thing may not be huge.
― balls, Sunday, 29 July 2012 05:26 (eleven years ago) link
watching old network bumpers is the best

finally got around 2 bad boy bubby, as it's no longer streaming after 8/1 - liked it, p amazing overall
― johnny crunch, Monday, 30 July 2012 01:23 (eleven years ago) link
My queue is about 70% docs, 20% tv and 10% movies. Never feel like watching movies anymore.
― musicfanatic, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 02:25 (eleven years ago) link
docs/tv is the best on streaming.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link
I'm remembering the 80s/90s when you could see a doc in a theater maybe three times a year (if you weren't in one of the bigger cities) and the video store documentary section was like two shelves, full of movies you'd already seen.
― Listen to this, dad (President Keyes), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 13:12 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah what changed that? Was it the relative success of someone like Morris? Or something like Hoop Dreams?

Thanks for recommending bad boy bubby, it was quite... something. the final monologue with the little singer about societies through history cling-wrapping had me and my gf in hysterics.

if anyone wants to watch a super trashy stars wars rip off. Roger Corman's Space Crash is good fun.

Started Deadly Blessing (19981, three young women, including a young Sharon Stone, get caught on a freaky scary farm) last night but the sound was terrible! I had to turn it up like 3/4 of the way to even hear anything :(
