i will turn off any movie on netflix with p&s/wrong ratio/shitty transfer within the first 5 minutes because it pisses me off so much. and yeah, theres plenty of it. the current netflix battle royale stream looks like it was filmed with a tripod camera

That Tumblr makes me jealous of all the movies streamed overseas but not here. That's an equal injustice!

I was surprised how different the Netflix selection is in Canada!

My buddy Kevin's movie is streaming on Netflix now! Southern Gothic ghost story, gorgeously shot in rural Kentucky. Highly recc'd. Some music by our roommate (P.G. Six)

Your buddy Kevin? My buddy Kevin! How do you know Kevin?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 July 2013 18:14 (ten years ago) link

music stuff, mostly! he's friends with a lot of ppl i know, he would come into the record store where i used to work, etc. i think the first ppl i met kevin thru were 0tt0 h and d4v3 l3rn3r?

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Friday, 19 July 2013 18:17 (ten years ago) link

Huh. I went to school with Kevin (undergrad) and played in a band with him. So I wouldn't be surprised if we had a few other mutual friends as well.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 July 2013 18:19 (ten years ago) link

huh! wild. i bet we do...

is The Glades any good? never even heard of it until i saw it was on netflix. but i don't have cable anymore. would watch alligator cop show if its halfway decent. a chicago cop is REALLY a fish out of water in this spicy crime drama.

scott seward, Saturday, 20 July 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link

they're REALLY convinced i'll like that one.

i think because i watched the bones spinoff set in florida or on an island or something like that.

but i tried to watch csi miami and felt discomfort and existential self-loathing so i'm not so sure about florida.

j., Saturday, 20 July 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link

they think i'm gonna love THE GLADES too. i blame that episode of longmire i watched, and also rockford.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Saturday, 20 July 2013 23:09 (ten years ago) link

The Glades was okay in a guilty pleasure kind of way in the first season. They had a marathon one weekend and I was sick and watched the whole thing. Second season was essentially an hour-long Kia commercial every week. The most hackneyed, embarrassing product placement ever. I felt sorry for the actors having to say their stupid lines about the stupid Kia. Haven't seen Season 3 but my husband assures me it's still terrible, still a Kia commercial.

franny glass, Saturday, 20 July 2013 23:16 (ten years ago) link

I watched Orange is etc etc. not bad!

mh, Saturday, 20 July 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link

i'm watching pilot of glades now. its okay. standard stuff. probably don't need 30+ episodes in my life.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 01:40 (ten years ago) link

i could watch longmire all night long. watched them all.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 01:40 (ten years ago) link

I binge-watched those after in orbit mentioned it in Facebook. Longmire!

mh, Sunday, 21 July 2013 01:58 (ten years ago) link

I tried The Glades, thought it was terrible. But...Longmire!!

I am very late, I know, but I just began watching Sherlock. I've been informed that I am now obligated to post Benedict Cumberbatch gifs on my tumblr.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 21 July 2013 06:34 (ten years ago) link

i watched the first episode of Psych last night. pretty entertaining (even though completely implausible). i might watch more of those. never saw it before.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link

their Twin Peaks episode was great

Saw this the other night. It was hilariously bad. At one point a woman gets killed BY A TURTLE.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 21 July 2013 14:55 (ten years ago) link

I love Psych. They have good jokes.

tokyo rosemary, Sunday, 21 July 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link

i finally started sherlock last night. fell asleep halfway through the first one though but it was late. like it although it's hard not to think Cumberbach is doing the Doctor as Sherlock and makes me sad that because he did one he wouldn't be able to do the other, because he'd be awfully good

otm

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 July 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link

he's a v good inscrutable Holmes

my only gripe with Sherlock is that it looks like it was shot on Instagram; and the constant sound effects get a little maddening at times

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 July 2013 15:52 (ten years ago) link

Not having ever really watched Doctor Who, I guess I'm bless that I won't keep making constant comparisons.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 21 July 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link

we watched TWINS last night. pretty bad movie. but i love danny devito.
should i really watch more longmire? he seems so... not tough. like the sheriff from no country for old men if he was a wuss.

helen started to watch The Killing after I fell asleep, she is hooked. should i watch that? i have to catch up.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Sunday, 21 July 2013 19:45 (ten years ago) link

i like the middle of nowhere thing about longmire. and the indian reservation thing. and last but not least the kara thrace thing about longmire.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:11 (ten years ago) link

i kinda don't feel like going back to Fringe...i dunno, its a commitment. i'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. and the alternating oh no the world is gonna end/ho hum xfiles unrelated/unconnected episode thing kinda bugs me. i mean you would think the end of the world would be the only thing they were working on.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:14 (ten years ago) link

scott have they gone to amber fringeworld yet? because that whole setup is pretty choice.

j., Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:16 (ten years ago) link

no, not yet. can't remember where we are. somewhere in season two i think.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:17 (ten years ago) link

okay i checked we are on s2 e12.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:19 (ten years ago) link

i think s03 might be the best

j., Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:25 (ten years ago) link

at least stick around for a few more episodes. You get the Peter Weller one and this:

President Keyes, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:28 (ten years ago) link

oh and i watched the expendables 2 the other night. i enjoyed the action sequences. not so enjoyable when there is any kind of lull or any scene where people aren't killing people. but luckily there are few of those kind of scenes.

already anticipating the next one. mickey rourke! jackie chan! wesley snipes! mel gibson!

"On May 22, Stallone confirmed he needed a "Young Sigourney Weaver" and after passing on Milla Jovovich, started eying other MMA talent."

i mean duh beckinsale.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:28 (ten years ago) link

will probably go back to fringe. got hung up on orange and new girl and some movies. and now i kinda wanna watch Psych...

it was nice of The Glades to tell me in one pilot episode that i didn't need to continue. i'm in and out.

and i want to watch Battlestar again. maria hasn't seen it all the way through. she would kinda/sorta watch it a little when i was watching it but i got obsessed and she got lost and found other things to do when i was watching. i think it would be fun to watch with her. i just hope my heart can take watching it again. that show kills me.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link

scott definitely, DEFINITELY hang around with Fringe at least til the Peter Weller ep. It's the best of the series imo

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 July 2013 01:53 (ten years ago) link

Or just watch that one, It stands alone. Plus, Peter Weller.

mh, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:06 (ten years ago) link

Peter Weller guest stars in a Psych episode too.

tokyo rosemary, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:27 (ten years ago) link

Thinking about cancelling this and just going with discs and amazon prime. Any reason not to?

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:31 (ten years ago) link

The exclusive shows may have a season 2, but you could resubcribe later

mh, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:32 (ten years ago) link

i am fond of peter weller. who isn't?

scott seward, Monday, 22 July 2013 03:56 (ten years ago) link

he can turn the world on with his smile.
