Really loved The Deep Blue Sea. Quite liked Trishna.

curious about the kevin spacey white potus scifi thing

david fincher directed the first episode, i guess

Eric Roth also a producer, showrunner/writer wrote The Ides of March.

o haha, i thought he was talking about a series called 'bbc originals'

Reanimator yall

the ten is up

are up

maria's sister lives around the corner from us with her boyfriend and her boyfriend is in a movie on netflix about a guy who has brain damage or amnesia or something and his father from oz/law&order helps him remember stuff by playing music and maria's sister's boyfriend plays phil lesh! cuz the guy was a dead fan and his memory stopped in the 60's or something? i didn't watch the whole thing. no closeups as phil becauee maria's sister's boyfriend is in his 30's and he's playing phil onstage in the 80's. pretty cool person to play in a movie. plus, he's a stoner in real life. he's been in a ton of gossip girls episodes.

Yeah I know that movie. It wasn't bad! Called The Music Never Stopped, based on an Oliver Sacks case study/story thing.

Which cut of Reanimator is it? R or Unrated?

Hmm, it says R but it looks like the Unrated run time. Mysteriously, the Unrated version runs ten minutes shorter!

are the moomin computer animated cartoons worth a shit?

oh wait, they're stop motion

Moomins is redubbed with American voice actors replacing the original British dude.

not sure how I feel about that

Canada just got Star Trek TNG.

Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland have been added thatnks to the new Disney deal.

TODD AND THE BOOK OF PURE EVIL. WTH.

i noticed that! Anyone seen it?

Watched the first episode the other night. Not bad, some promising stuff. Good enough I'll watch more of it.

i sincerely thank you for this important Star Trek TNG news, abanana.

Yeah it was a serious quality of life boon when TNG went up on the US service. Captain Picard has never played with puppies, FYI. Just one of the important things I've learned from season 2.

todd is terrible but i'm definitely hooked. on one hand you have... gushing anal bleeding. then on the other hand you have things like the entire school turning gay and bullying the one straight guy, Jay (of Silent Bob) as Wise Stoner Janitor, and "time to get a bigger vaccum". i'm kind of living for each episode's token chase-scene-to-a-metal song

Half Baked added to US watch instant

you have all watched the secret life of plants, right? if not, watch that.

documentaries:
Visual Acoustics (architectural photography of Julius Schulman)
Manufactured Landscapes (lots of coverage of footage of huge electronics/consumer product manufacturing places in China, among others)

Ai Wei Wei documentary is worth your time

def watch manufactured landscapes

for sure, it uses long shots really well

omg that sounds amazing

the opening traveling shot, like 12 minutes going through one megafactory, is @_@

another strong vote for manufactured landscapes. Loved that one.

you sit there trying to figure out what kind of things they make in the factory, and after a couple minutes you realize they make pretty much all types of things

that does sound good. will add!

full disclosure i spend all day every day communicating with factories in china (I work in QA) so it's especially up my alley.

I don't know, I only watched half of it. It's not so much about manufacturing, but about a guy photographing that stuff and its detritus. I found it really boring.

they make factories

re: documentaries, "Degenerate Art" about the guy that pioneered glass pipe making

really? i saw that pop up and i was like, that seems like a niche i am very much not interested in

it was actually pretty good, the guy's pretty nice and was just doing his thing and people sort of caught on to it, learning under him and building on the techniques. shows some amazing pieces being created
