Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

That's my dude who directed Black Rainbow. It rules

Demo Man is pan and scan, I believe.

They finally have The Toxic Avenger in glorious (?) Widescreen. Also includes the Lloyd Kaufman introduction from the laserdisc edition!

Demo Man is pan and scan, I believe.

I was wondering about that. It's clearly been cropped (Wikipedia says the original film is in 2.35:1) but it doesn't look like it was all the way down to 4:3.

No, it's down to 1.85, I believe. But still wrong enough to be noticeable.

i was really psyched about beyond the black rainbow but ended up turning it off

lol dug WOODSHOP tho

shoulda stuck around

its a slow burn

Would watch a Frederick Weisman doc called Woodshop.

i'd watch one called poophouse about an outhouse

Beyond the Black Rainbow was fairly dull despite a cool soundtrack and lots of nice visuals. There just wasn't much happening beyond that.

Bay of Blood was AWESOME. Proto-slasher flick that both invented and elevated the genre, since the victims were mostly adults with agendas instead of stupid teenagers just trying to do drugs and get laid (admittedly, there were a few of those, but they get dispatched rather quickly). It was about the evil that greed drives men to do instead of a morality story with a boring unstoppable killer.

For some reason this thread has been making my grammar stupid

Baron Blood is indeed a minor work, but it's still super awesome and totally worth watching. There's one particularly great fog shrouded chase sequence in the middle of the film.

Watched Kevin Smith's "Red State." Don't know what I was expecting, but that wasn't it. It's like he made a Tarantino movie 15 years too late. There was very little that was arch or jokey about it, with one or two exceptions. Michael Parks's performance as the minister was pretty remarkable, I'll say that. It's asking a lot of an actor to carry a movie that stops dead in its tracks to have someone perform a sermon for 10 minutes, but he does a hell of a job.

i watched that eames documentary. it was good but i couldnt believe how bad the narration was - i looked and realized it was james franco??! who gets him to narrate something, the guy has like 50 different lisps

"50 different lisps" lol, so otm

Feel-good Talking-Animal Kids' TV

Your taste preferences created this row.

:(

lol

ciao! manhattan - expires soon iirc, couldnt take my eyes off it, not merely cuz of edie being topless throughout; should be remade f/ lohan

Noticed that Soderbergh's underrated "King of the Hill" is up, as is the (also underrated?) "Out of Sight."

that would be sweet if he did an episode of king of the hill

i think out of sight is not only my fave soderbergh but one of the best movies of the 90s. i have seen it so many times. anyone who hasnt and likes good times should see it now.

strongly seconded. first great clooney flick, last great j. lo.

<3 j-lo

I think out of sight is perfect.

out of sight -- more like soderbergh hit it out of the park with that one

"Throw Mama from the Train!" "Grapes of Wrath!"

j lo in out of sight is one of my top ten movie performances

of all time

i was trying to be hyperbolic, but i think that's literally true

you wanted to tussle

we tussled

all of her lipsticks are perfect in that movie

anyway i mostly credit soderbergh for her performance, because i don't think i've ever seen her be good/natural in any other movie?

Supporting cast in Out Of Sight one of the best too. Albert Brooks as villain = gold!

don cheadle, luis guzman

catherine keener

michael keaton!

out of sight is a good lil movie, but c'mon now it's just a minor thing idk

how can i find out the brands and colors of all the lipsticks jennifer lopez wore in out of sight?

you're just a minor thing idk

the movie is like a mint or something

did anyone here watch that karen sisco tv series? i didn't but i seem to recall hearing it was good (i think even elmore leonard approved of it) and carla gugino seems a pretty good trade-in for j. lo. i did like when she popped up on justified as karen sisco.

just a junior mint

this lady game me a box of junior mints that she had originally packed in her daughter's lunch box but her daughter didnt eat them and when I opened the box they were all melty and oozy and I ate them anyway

the junior mint box not the lunch box

are you workshopping a routine?

this is the routine

<3 uh oh i'm having a fantasy hope you're doing well these days
