Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

breakfast club is up too. you could have a sheedython.

Ally and the Breakfast Club have been teasing me for a while now as I scroll through my recommendation carousel.

i might watch Europa Report. looks kinda cool.

I didn't like it.

okay its settled then i won't watch it.

Close call there.

Check out Primer.

i saw the trailer for primer and i don't know...

i just really want thrills and spills. big budget action. i can't help myself. i think i've seen most of the good ones on netflix though. that's why i have to resort to buying liam neeson dvds at the fye store. i saw a good one today that i haven't seen for 4 bucks but i didn't buy it. maybe tomorrow.

oh snap i still haven't seen The Grey. i'll watch that tonight.

Is The Grey based on that book by the guy Shakey likes, Jon Armstrong, maybe?

Was a bit let down by The Grey. Felt like it should have been scarier or something.

Kind of stoked to watch this new Ray Harryhausen doc that turned up.

the grey rules!

it's been on Netflix since it came out on DVD too!

otm

i really liked it. but i love snow movies. even more than empty highway end of the world movies. this was even bleaker than the road actually. or rougher to survive anyway.

if you watch it make sure you watch the credits to the end!

watched Sniper:Reloaded last night. pretty boss. bought discount dvds at fye but now i see skyfall is on netflix so might watch that first. dvds i got were: colombiana (a scandalous blend of action, sex, and violence), babylon a.d. (with over 10 minutes of additional explosive action), faster (the best straight-up action film of the year), rampart (tense, shocking, complex, mesmerizing), unknown (neeson kicks even more butt in unknown), and the contract (the only thing standing between an assassin and his target is a father who must protect his son).

unknown ZZZZ

but he kicks even more butt!

haven't watched yet though.

bourne ripoff, i enjoyed it but it's not taken or the grey. bruno granz has a fun role in it though.

Tabu overrated. liked the modern story more than the retro.

Wrong but modern story is great.

just watched Computer Chess, dreadful film.

Curious about Europa Report. Anyone seen it?

Europa Report. I liked it. Others may not.

would like to see a low budget SF movie that wasn't set mostly in cramped quarters space pod. a little imagination goes a long way. hey, how about setting your movie on another planet with aliens as main characters? maybe try befriending set designers and makeup artists.

Or film a Stalker-style movie in a vacant lot

No more Cube, is what I am hearing

seriously so many awesome sf novels, so pitifully few good sf films

so true. oh man yeah would kill for one idea as good as the cube. doing so much with so little.

making one friggin' room an endless universe. they should have won the nobel prize for physics.

my misanthropic side:

When Is Someone Gonna Make A Sci-Fi Show Or Movie Without Any People In Them?

makeup is expensive bro! probably more expensive than space CG these days

computer chess rules

scott did you watch the little scifi film i posted recently (that i made)? no space pods. https://vimeo.com/48492387

just watched Computer Chess, dreadful film.

lol i'd like to show you some actual dreadful films

i did watch it! it's weird!

i can't remember how i watched it. someone must have put it on facebook.

babylon a.d. was not very good. i kept falling asleep. it seemed to last forever. the only "sci-fi" in it was blade runner billboards on the sides of buildings. talk about saving money. Faster was pretty good. pretty brutal. i liked billy bob in it. i mean it was bad but i enjoyed it well enough.

babylon a.d. is on netflix now? I'd rewatch it. It's not very good, but the book it is sort-of based on has some interesting goofy stuff

no, its not on netflix. sorry. i bought dvds. i listed them upthread.

ah, I missed that, continue on

I wish the movie took place in s1ocki's neighborhood like the book did

which book??

oh cool, an intentionally awkward/stilted film in which pretty much nothing happens but lol the uptight nerds hang out with a pair of new age swingers thats just classic material

mostly kidding, I think they are in the other part of MTL although they do blow up a house

obviously the edition on Semiotext(e) is twice as cool as the movie cover, even if it does feature Vin Diesel
