yeah this was v good

saw it with an audience of nurses (some from the oakland area) and the Q&A after was petty, angry and occasionally deeply heartfelt
watched the first fifteen minutes of act of killing while eating tomato soup and promptly shut that down for less gustatory times

New World was great. Hobo killers maybe my favorite although garage fight was also amazing.

Europa Report is terrifying. Body count at 1 confirmed, 2 probable, and I can't watch these people pick themselves off 1 by 1 with bad decisions.

I enjoyed it. Scot Seward didn't like it. A line is drawn.

There's something wrong with people who enjoy the chilling inevitability of humans in a little tin can being snuffed out until none are left. I feel the same way about undersea "thrillers" only at least those are ON EARTH.

THAT'S THE LINE I'M DRAWING.

Which reminds me, I loved the Smithsonian Channel's Air Disasters series. Its greatest lesson: Don't fly in the 1970s. Also, flying is SUPER safe.

I am crazy addicted to that show for that very great reason as well as some salient secondary lessons like: don't fly through St. Elmo's Fire, don't fly over Africa when your plane is on fire, and piping in live POV video of your takeoff to passengers isn't such a hot idea when your plane's engine flips off the wing and you bank hard into a crash. Oh, and pilots probably shouldn't let their 15-year-old sons sit in the driver's seat and disable autopilot.

The episode about this incident was haunting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522

!! Just googled and there are 14 seasons! Only S1 is up on streaming, but it's good to know there are more.

Yeah, I went on a YouTube watching binge a few months ago after seeing some feature story on 60 Minutes (I think) about sole survivors of plane crashes.

i had a drunken chat with a friend's dad, an aerospace engineer, and my takeaway was basically, never fly on a south american airline

apparently a looooooot of ancient planes that should be grounded flying around down there with fake certification plaques welded onto them

flying aeroperu was legit the most terrifying experience of my life, so much so that on my next flight, which was outta there, i took some crazy-ass tranquilizer ('wtf IS it?' 'don't worry, it works') from a peruvian pharmacy before boarding the flight. i hallucinated for like 15 minutes, then blacked out. i woke up approaching dallas.

with no plane in sight

lol pretty much!

Is there an instantwatcher type site for Amazon streaming?

^urgent & key (don't think there is one)

http://www.canistream.it/

Yeah, that site sort of sucks. I really just want to see what's new. Preferably in text.

yeah, well. i can't say i disagree with you. Let me know what you find.

The only other one I recall having recently was a collab between half acre and three Floyd's. It was fantastic, but was a one off.

Wrong thread. Beer not available on Netflix. Yet.

Anyone watch this European production Borgia: Faith and Fear series they have no Netflix? It's a pretty much an evil and totally gory PBS historical drama. The cast is uneven, some of the episodes are pretty dense but the production is quite good. I'm hooked on it enough that I will finish the series.

I am watching this now. So campy and addictive! Rawls from The Wire as the pope! The actress who plays Lucretia looks like Claire from 6 Feet Under. The actor who plays Cesare is like a cross between someone out of Lord of the Rings and Phil from "The Thick of It"

Is that different from the Jeremy Irons one?

yes, totally different show. The Jeremy Irons one was a Showtime (?) series, this one is a Canal production, and the cast's accents are from all over the place.

Buck Angel documentary is up; can't vouch for the quality, but the subject is a real character.

I feel like there's nothing I want to watch anymore.

It's very vexing.

Just watched The Queen of Versailles, christ alive what a twat that David Siegel is

― the Shearer of simulated snowsex etc. (Dwight Yorke), Sunday, October 20, 2013

i'm bias because i know about his anti-obama activities during the 2012 campaign, but i'm watching this now, and -- yeah.

the more i watch this, the more infuriating it is.

I've had him in my death pool ever since.

Thank god, The Keep is back up.
