Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Horrible. The worst thing, ever. Like, the horrible boss who is an asshole and not funny yet who is the focus of some much of the movie even though he is horrible and not funny? The Indian guy? Plaza? Duplass? All terrible in this smug my-first-film indulgence that made me angry for giving it a chance.

watched it tonight

eh

It's alright

but Audrey Plaza is hot!!!

not hot enough for you to get her name right, apparently!

lol tru dat

maria made me watch one of those arty dr. morbius movies last night. The Polish Bride. she kept telling me i had to see it and i'd put her off forever cuz the title always made me think of seinfeld movie titles and a young woman's erotic journey from milan to minsk. it was boring. and so dutch. but maria likes dutch stuff and hearing dutch what with her being a dutch translator and a former dutch resident. one of those movies where everyone follows art movie dream logic so it doesn't really matter what they do or why they do it. lead actress wears troll make-up at the start and then gets progressively less troll-like. very strange. after we watched that i put on Nothing Sacred to wash the Dutch cheese out of my mouth. Ben Hecht can make everything okay again.

in retaliation i'm gonna make her watch the german movie HELL. which i loved. and maria speaks german too so that will lure her in.

fight fire with fire, make her watch even dwarfs started small

i remember seeing a bunch of ads for the 1999 'animal farm' when it came out and it looked pretty horrible. i'd stick to the '50s cartoon.

gotta echo what's been said. watched Safety Not Guaranteed bc of Aubrey Plaza, what a massive piece of shit

it's watchable crap but it is the type of sitcom arthouse clogger you can use as a symptom of the decline of american indie cinema

i liked it

Sub sitcom, because sitcoms are funny

I don't really watch sitcoms

sitcoms arent funny iirc

I started watching "The Shield" recently, does it count as a sitcom?

Sure!

See you in three days.

every episode of "the shield" is streaming on Hulu now, btw.

Best show.

that is where I am watching it!

Trading Places

17 Jean Rollin films up right now. An enlightened age!

btw, since it could use linking every once in awhile: http://instantwatcher.com/titles/visual

The American Astronaut, certainly the best Western space musical I've ever seen.

I was wondering about that.

American astronaut is fucking fantastic

Man, American Astronaut. I think I saw that when they were touring with it back in Ann Arbor like 10 years ago. Plenty of neat ideas.

If like me you weren't digging Parks & Rec. that much, give it another shot. Been watching it on Netflix all month. Good shit.

Until upside down triangle head man invades the show.

Hippie Masala! love that thing. i highly recommend it.

night tide, a weird noirish thing from the early 60s about a sailor who fails in love with a murderous mermaid, dennis hopper's first starring role iirc

always reminds me of vhs dollar movies. cuz it was public domain or something. like night of the living dead.

its cool though.

and i am definitely a curtis harrington fan. all the way to his devil dog movie.

this is great, by the way:

devil dog, best opening scene in cinema history. Three Satanists walk into a dog shelter...

after checking IMDB I realize I've seen almost half of harrington's filmography without realizing it. how awful about allan, who slew auntie roo, I even watched the awful bayou possession flick ruby a couple of months ago, which features this classic moment

doomsday book is up, a south korean anthology of dystopian sci-fi tales

and the 1924 hands of orlac, kind of slow going but worth it for conrad veidt's tormented performance

i saw submarine last night.

pretty pretty good but moss's sensibilities were too close to wes anderson methinks.

doomsday book looks cool! will watch. looks way better than melancholia anyway. you guys don't want to know how many bad kirsten dunst movies i have watched cuzza my crush on kirsten dunst...so sad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GGfa0EybCI

and yet i keep stopping myself from watching mona lisa smile on netflix. my love for the dunst has limits, i guess.

and yet i recently watched the horrible elizabethtown so i know that there are no limits...

i have a shameful crush on her too. I don't usually go in for the starlets. It's those lazy eyes.

and that smile...

still need to see wimbledon. i have luckytown and the cat's meow on vhs but i haven't been bored enough to watch them yet.

sounds like a terrible affliction

there are very few hollywood cuties that turn my head. these days anyway. i usually can't remember who they are half the time.

it kinda is cuz most of her movies are terrible!
