All the adult women on The Returned have really small breasts and never wear bras. It's weirdly specific.

I've been watching a lot of Oddities lately. US shows that last twenty minutes when the adverts are taken out are dangerously easy to keep watching back to back. It's a Science Channel programme about Obscura, a weird antiques shop in NYC.
Highlights so far include a guy from New Jersey who'd accidentally ended up buying an Nganga as part of a storage lot auction.

most/all of the situations on that show are setup/scripted but you still see some neat stuff; i deploy the fast-forward button liberally

A high school friend was on Oddities (steampunk goggles). He came off like a dick (not inaccurate iirc) and I loled at his Jimmy Cagney accent - dude lived in suburban Texas for his first 19 years.

aah. Couldn't remember which season. I find the SF one a chore, so I haven't paid particular attention.

It's obviously occasional ILMer speculator. Steampunk a dead giveaway ;)

Just finished watching The Returned. Thought it was really, truly great for the first six episodes but I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced by the direction of the last couple. I definitely want to know where they go from here, though. I also wish Mogwai had written a few more music cues - I really liked their score, but it got a bit repetitive by the end.
Also, I can think of at least four or five scenes where bras are in evidence!

just watched Crazy Love, which is classified as a "romantic movie"

I wish I could like The Returned! I found it totally boring/interminable/frustrating.

adam did you watch the end of the world movie set in the u.k. that is like an arty twilight with no vampires? i kinda liked it. not really the end of the world i guess. more like semi-wwIII or something. this is how we are now. or this is what we do now or this is something something. has some cool moments.

Just watched Anatomy of a Seduction, a 1978 May-December romance starring Rita Moreno (although she was the mom of the younger man, not the woman having the affair). It was possibly better than the one starring Yvette Mimieux. Suuuuuper cheesy and enjoyable music/production values.
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 7 April 2014 02:55 (ten years ago) link
I thought How I Live Now was a pretty effective nightmare scenario movie with decent acting by kids. It got a bit corny trying to convey the protagonist's dreams etc, but generally well thought out and executed. A little more grounded than the Hunger Games etc.

Inequality For All, the Robert Reich documentary was fairly good. Pretty basic, but frames up our current economic and political problems in a way that should appeal to a wider audience.

Lost Girl - i'd never heard of it before but it came up on instant watcher and i ended up binge-watching all 3 seasons in the last few days. it starts off pretty ordinary but it's really quite different from its peers.

Another endorsement for Crystal Fairy and Mud.
The first great movie I saw streaming on Netflix was Five Minutes of Heaven, maybe about a year ago, and it's apparently still streaming!
― Peter Scholtes, Thursday, 24 April 2014 12:39 (ten years ago) link
not sure if this is the right thread, but Amazon Prime is adding a bunch of older HBO shows to their catalog.
Prime members will get access to every episode of The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Rome, Eastbown & Down, Enlightened, and Flight of the Conchords; and select seasons of Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, and Treme.
