Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

he was 74 years old

I was frightened of that show. Even the theme musically was sinister by being so overly cheery.

also i didnt realize they meant special like restaurant special, i just thought it was like weird noun, "special," it really weirded me out

apparently as i kid was scared shitless of h.r. pufnstuf reruns but demanded to watch them every day anyway

feel like this prepared me for ilx in its way

The Today's Special guy was in Jesus Christ Superstar.

xpost i had a similar lustmord for Mr. Snuffelupagus, I'm told

The Today's Special guy was in Jesus Christ Superstar.

He was so scary.

Enough of this nonsense. Seriously, "Lockout." It's a grade A B-movie.

I really don't get the love for that one.

After you saw it? Really? It's totally fun and silly and pulpy, and Guy Pearce is good in it, and the Scottish bad guy is hard to understand.

Oslo August 31st was lovely

Aside from Guy Pearce having a good time, I just thought it was chintzy and dull. I also saw it the week after I saw DREDD which kind of pwns it for small, pulpy funtimes.

couldn't sleep last night and watched some of "the immortals" which was terrible and made me long for the original clash of the titans. mickey rourke was ok, i suppose.

I didn't like Lockout as much as I thought I would, it reminded me of one of those SyFy original movies.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is great. Fantastic really.

I liked Jiro a lot. At the time I thought it was pretty repetitive, and said what it needed to say pretty early on, but the more I think about it, the more I think that may have been the point. My friend's theory is that he consented to the movie to help set the transition for when his son eventually takes over.

got Jiro in the mail w/ about 25 other Magnolia releases. won't be watching V/H/S.

i was pretty taken by the deliberateness with which it all unfolded, and the shots were great. i could watch an hour of them putting sushi on the shiny black servers. loved the reveal that it was the son who served the michelin folks. really packed a punch after all that.

i really loved jiro. it's very simple, but I found it v moving and I really loved the detail.

loved meeting their tuna guy.

otm

jiro is nice

"the best and the brightest", nph + wife try getting their kid into nyc private kindergarten

neil patrick harris?

yeah, 'tis funny

oh i thought it was a doc fo rsome reason

well, no wife for neil

also started watching "god bless america" directed by bobcat goldtwait (lol) about a guy sick of celeb/pop culture and goes on a rampage, it's a bit falling down but more like the park shooting scene from happiness extended into a full length, suprisingly good

...and finished "do not disturb" the other day about the rotating inhabitants of a hotel room. starring the maid, diva zappa.

oh i thought it was a doc fo rsome reason

there's a doc on the same subject

this one i guess: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213832/

"bernie" is up and is pretty enjoyable/lightweight

yes happy to see that there

Doctor Detroit now on US netflix

completely inessential, but devo music

Recent adds on my part:

The Artist (boring)
Klown (worth it, if only for the final shot. this is what a more profane Hangover would look like)
A Cat in Paris
Coriolanus
Sesame Street Classics
A Man's Story
Zen of Tony Bennett
Chico and Rita
Night Train to Munich
Frozen

My kids liked A Cat in Paris.
