Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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

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

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

he can turn the world on with his smile.

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

what if you get like a super strong urge to watch lesbian dramas but suspect that this urge might not last until the usps shows up with your disc?

lol

interesting article

no non-comment hits for ctrl+f "oz" = no need to read that article

lol and then of course i scroll through and see it's about actual women's prison experience so nevermind

If you need like a fifth opinion repeating the same thing, yes Scott, you should definitely watch the Peter Weller episode. (You can skip the 1930's one tho')

Is that when they went back to kill hitler?

oh no do they all act like they are from the 30's? *groan* the only episode of army wives i didn't watch on netflix was one where everyone goes back in time to world war II. *groan*

Psych is funny cuz its corny and goofy and it reminds me of stuff i liked when i was a kid. its a nostalgia show in some ways. so perfectly at home with itself within its fake t.v. universe, so rigidly formulaic. i dig that. i was a big fan of tenspeed and brownshoe and simon & simon and corny stuff like that when i was a kid.

and that lead guy is a perfect mix of ben stiller + tom cruise + steve carell.

I don't think there was a 1930s episode for reals

There was a 1980s one where you saw Walter in his full brain days

Wasn't there one where Walter eats a pot brownie and dreams that his life is a musical or something?

Yes that one. I guess it was like noir-ish or something

all the greenaway tulse luper stuff? any good?

i watched 'startlet' - recommended

we watched TWINS last night. pretty bad movie. but i love danny devito.

― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian)

kelly preston in twins is next level, there are some PG limit-pushing moments w/her.

all the greenaway tulse luper stuff? any good?

Did he ever finish that? I saw the first 4 (?) hours in Toronto about ten years ago. If you like him at least some of the time, it's worth a look.

peter greenaway! there's someone you don't hear about much anymore.

watched this movie twice already. it's a lot of fun.

Will be viewing that asap.

it's pretty terrible but it's super entertaining and weirdly sweet for a movie about cocaine ninjas vs a tae kwon do rock band

this thread is pretty much half miami connection talk.

yeah i didn't want to be a thread cop but there's a bunch of chatter itt! legit entertaining bad movie.

Better question is, how many have ordered the tank top?

If you haven't watched Terriers, it is available on Instant, terrific, and discussed / raved-about on this thread: DONAL LOGUE POLL

I have watched the entire series twice!

Awesome -- I meant the collective "you," obviously

Scott upthread reminds me that I do also love Psych, for light-TV watching -- and it's such a meta goofy in-joke show that it gets much better as it goes along, and starts doing things like episode-long Twin Peaks parodies (with Twin Peaks actors and Julee Cruise singing the theme song). Also all its in-joke conventions, like the made-up names for Dule Hill's character, get increasingly funny.

nabisco! is that you for real? i was just thinking about you yesterday. hope you are well.

Yes, hi, I'm doing great!

I would never assume that nabisco was addressing me personally!

i watched 'startlet' - recommended

Really dug this^

i should try terriers sooner or later

I tried. Made it through two episodes.

get a move on before they cancel it again

double secret cancel it

not netflix but if you have amazon instant you can watch the fruit hunters on it /plug

omg finally! I'm on that asap, thanks

Terriers is super badass and everyone should watch it

you are not selling me here

just watch the goddamn show motherfucker

i watched the first one last night. i liked it.

Q: Is there anything I can do to improve the awful netflix streaming picture quality? I'm getting really bad pixelation in darker areas of the frame.

Get a better internet connection?

I occasionally see that when it's a high-congestion time of the day for the netflix servers. The other thing to do would be to make sure you're using your ISP's DNS servers instead of Google DNS or whatever, but that can give mixed results, too. Maybe even try vice-versa. Sometimes their ability to detect where you are (topographically on the internet, not necessarily geographically) sucks and you end up with a bad server.

Possible that wiring in instead of connecting wirelessly would speed things up?

Possible, although that would lead me to believe that you might benefit from a new wireless router

What device are you using to watch Netflix?
