Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

It does blow, but you know you're gonna watch it. Just get it over with.

i love the Dredd movie!

in retrospect, i don't think the silver haze was the best pairing for Samsara. made me too peppy and took me out of the film. i'm getting some kandahar today and i think that would made a much better match:

"If you have just sniffed plants with strong candy-sweet aromas, then Kandahar will not seem sweet by comparison. However, on its own, this variety captures the complexity of a street bazaar with sour-sweet fragrances that combine ripe fruit and dry forest muskiness. Once cured, the buds are nice tight nuggets with a woodsy and nutty taste, and a hint of sandalwood. As they are burned, they get the pleasantly warm fragrance of toasted nuts. The high settles deep in the body with potential for couchlock intensity. Down tempo music, television, or other undemanding yet sensory activities will pair well with Kandahar’s sedating qualities. It’s all good – sit back, soak it in, and enjoy the satisfying sense of relaxation."

i mean if you are posting on the internet during a 70mm new age visual epic you are doing something wrong. i really gotta get a bigger t.v. too.

"Your Queue" is now "My List" which is sad b/c "queue" is a good word and Netflix is pretty much the only place most Americans get to use it.

really enjoyed Dredd. that is some movie. the slo-mo stuff was beautiful too. wasn't expecting that.

plus, suitably Statham-esque.

as far as i can see the director had never directed anything like that either. mostly british t.v. stuff. pretty impressive. never seen the other movies he's done. vantage point and endgame.

did anyone see this at like an imax place? that would be far out. i just wish my t.v. were bigger.

i did!! it was way better that way compared to when i re-screened on my laptop a few days ago... even the music :-\

watched Dredd last night too and also liked it well enough. I appreciated that it didn't try too hard and just focused on a basic story. Plus, we didn't get subjected to Judge Dredd's backstory or psychological motivation. He's just kind of an angry badass and that's it.

yeah I dug Dredd a lot! felt a bit closer to the comic (comic was a lot funnier in a dry-wit kinda way though). I thought Urban made a really good Dredd. .

he did. he had the scowl down that's for sure.

i haven't read those comics since i was a kid. i used to buy the 2000 AD comics on newsprint. that's how old i am.

i was super-into 2000 AD in high school -- one of the few comics I could buy in my tiny hometown.

reaaaaaaaaally enjoyed dredd, but vantage point is pretty awful. dunno where this one came from, but he seemed to really "get" the material.

There Will Be Blood is streaming. i might have to watch that. i like DDL but i'm just not a fan of PTA. i know people love that movie.

some new stuff up. requiem for a dream. saturday night fever. frenzy. purple rose of cairo. zoolander. quadrophenia. the shipping news. wargames. flesh for frankenstein.

200 motels!

purple rose of cairo.

Watch this one.

is the 4400 any good? man, i probably don't need a new series to watch. i got enough to watch.

oh i've seen all those just noting new stuff up.

blood for dracula

nighthawks is up. best movie.

i might watch The Reeds. looks spooky. i like the marshes and the moors.

i still need to see The Road. haven't been feeling bleak enough.

I though The Road was pretty meh, but its nowhere near as bleak as the novel on account of some attempted, and very awkward, feel-goodness.

The reeds was disappointing. Great locations, though.

oh jeez i'm not watching the 4400 it has no ending! it got cancelled after the fourth season.

Endings always suck though! Stories are better without them.

but it ends with a season 4 cliffhanger and then never comes back!

the road was such a bummer. loved the bummer book. stopped the bummer movie halfway through.

Dredd was pretty tight- well assembled & staged for being so low budget. It felt like the 3rd movie of an occasional series- I enjoyed the lack of exposition or myth building. I liked Urban a bunch...when are he & Statham gonna do an actioner together?

4400 "ending" was soooo annoying. it's a pretty solid C+/B- level show

okay, will not watch. what about supernatural though? worth the time? shit, i already asked that on here. never mind. i'll just watch one.

nooooooooooo

its bad?

it's like a bro'd out "Angel". it can be funny though, I don't hate it. I mean, it's Dean from Gilmore Girls, he's adorable

i watched Supernatural on occasion - i always dug the look, definitely the best looking horror show on TV for a long time

the car is p cool

lol the car deserves its own supporting character slot

skot have you watched Saxondale? i think you'd like that.

I think scott IS saxondale

scott is waaayyyy less angry than that dude

i worry that i have maybe had my fill of brits behaving badly. there are a lot of them. but i might watch.

series 7 is on netflix! i didn't know that. i feel like that movie gets overlooked when people talk about the reality t.v./horror/dystopia thing. i like that movie way more than hunger games. 2001! a pioneer, kinda. plus, it was filmed in my old home spot in connecticut. so i get to look for stuff i recognize in it.

i love that will arnett is in it

holy shit is he? i haven't seen it since 01, it's been sitting in my queue for forever like so many other things

very very very small hidden role as the narrator

scott, saxondale is fuckin' great; do watch that

Series 7 is super awesome
