You guys are nuts that pickfucker episode was hilariously fun.
Thank you to whoever tipped this show upthread! Just cuz they're timeworn dystopias doesn't make them irrelevant.

All of Sweden is supposed to be undergoing a heat wave on this ep of Wallander and yet everyone is still wearing coats and cotton cableknit sweaters. And looking sweaty. HAVE THEY NO OTHER CLOTHES?

i'm too scared to watch django and wolf of wall street. leo's face bugs me so much these days...he's such a dope. plus just the whole american badass/excess thing...
― scott seward, Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link
I'm not watching either of those movies either, although if I were forced to choose I'd prob go with WoWS.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
Leo's smarminess plays well into the Django character, IMO
― Nhex, Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
also plays well into the wolf of wall street character tbh. he should just embrace being a shitbag from now on
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link
wolf of wall street is pretty solid, django is a bit of a letdown
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:50 (nine years ago) link
wolf of wall street is redundantly putrid after the first 40 minutes

can't do too many cocaine booby rock montage scenes these days. spring breakers might have lasted me a lifetime.

and as far as the idea of tarantino and slave trading goes....i'll stick with the nazis.
― scott seward, Thursday, 18 December 2014 16:01 (nine years ago) link
I dare you to watch both.

i've watched both, would recommend watching neithre

Hated Django, loved Wolf. Leo is fine in both. Latter has better set pieces, former probably the worst Tarantino.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 22 December 2014 01:59 (nine years ago) link
the worst Tarantino is actually Quentin

I laughed out loud at that, then watched the first hour of Nymphomaniac + now I am back on the Official ILX Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations thread
― I can just, like, YOLO with Uber (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 December 2014 03:54 (nine years ago) link
btw I watched Django Unchained for the first time recently & found it fun (if occasionally burdened by cringeworthy contemporary resonances)
― I can just, like, YOLO with Uber (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 December 2014 03:56 (nine years ago) link
speaking of Tarantino in the same post-cluster as Nymphomaniac: Kill Bill is another two-parter I never saw prior to its appearance on Netflix Instant Watch (saw the 1st in theaters, but missed the 2nd and couldn't decide how best to arrange an at-home viewing)

I don't know if I can answer that question
― I can just, like, YOLO with Uber (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 December 2014 14:14 (nine years ago) link
but yes, it is funnier than e.g. Antichrist or Dancer in the Dark

if you're into 'dry humor'
So! My Netflix was hacked last week. I called customer support when I could no longer access my account, and the friendly phone man confirmed I've been jacked. Some clown in Calgary has been watching w/ my user ID, and the Netflix fraud folks have been able to track him to a single fixed IP address (residential). They reset my password/account, and are going after him, guns a-blazin'. Apparently he's been watching the R-rated soft porn titles. They gave me a free month (small yay) of service, but I've gotta start a new account and my ID and ratings (which I've held since early-adopter 2000 days) are all wiped out. Last night I sat and rated a dozen movies, but my old account had about 5000 movies rated. My queue/history are zeroed, and now I have no idea what I have/haven't watched. So, important question, what movies should I watch/rate to recalibrate the suggestions? Key titles already logged include:

― akm, Saturday, 27 December 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
I'd like all of my recommendations to be based on a history of watching soft core porn

but seriously is that the lengths Canadians have to go to get erotic material?

Netflix was way more in-your-face about the user data aggregation back in the day - I'm seeing 1015 ratings on my account
― Nhex, Saturday, 27 December 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
there's soft core porn on netflix? what a world

Last Saturday, nursed hangover with back-to-back anxiety-upping selections: Blue Ruin and All is Lost. Both good. Well, AiL is a bit old guy got mad experience and knowledge porn, but it's effective. At least until the very last scene, which is a bit lol.
Blue Ruin a crazy little one. No-one-wins revenge tale. And it has a crazy sequence featuring Buzz McCallister, Kevin's big brother!
