OK, so the MPAA has that new-ish site that lets you search for streamable movies and TV. I think it's wheretowatch.com. It seems pretty solid, except every time I search for something I know is streaming on Netflix, Netflix does not come up as an option. Any ideas/conspiracies? I think a centralized site that allows me to search what's available across Amazon/Netflix/Hulu et al. is useful, since it's so hard to figure out otherwise with everything that's constantly being added and deleted to and from each service (for the longest time The French Connection II was on Netflix, but not the first movie), but if it's erratic or not comprehensive it's no sub for painstakingly stalking each individual service for what I want.

Broadchurch was a waste of time. Terrible ending sabotages anything worthwhile that came before.

franc connection is back on netflix btw JiC

I just tried that service. Hopefully typed in Phantasm III, a movie I can't find anywhere. And a result popped up! Flixster! So I navigated to the flixster site only to get a message that Phantasm III is not available at this time.

"Broadchurch was a waste of time. Terrible ending sabotages anything worthwhile that came before."
I disagree, plus, season 2 just started and upends things a bit.

I loved broadchurch. ALL OF IT.

There was lots I liked about it. Don't want to get spoiler-y but I'm sure you can understand frustration with that ending. I'll see if I can find the new season streaming somewhere, would be a cool move if they're able to pull off something that messes with the ending of Season 1.

i know this on hulu but can i just say that the scene in episode 1 season 2 of the wrong mans where the DEA woman hands the one mans the bongos in the airport was the loudest and longest i have laughed out loud at something on t.v. in a million years. like, uncontrollable laughter! just the sight of those bongos for some reason...

i don't really know what was so frustrating about the ending of season 1. it was a 'surprise' I suppose but did you want it to be obvious?
― akm, Friday, 9 January 2015 21:09 (nine years ago) link
also, their attempts at american accents in the airport...oh god...

White Collar seems different this season. It seems...terrible. They've started referring to neighborhoods in outer boroughs, which makes no sense--half the show's charm was the illusion that nowhere outside of Manhattan exists. The plots and cons are so far deplorably thin, and the cast sound like they're mouthing nursery rhymes they learned by rote.
I am desolee, which I think means my shoes have a hole in the bottom.

Suit and Mrs Suit are totally faking it! And their love was the best thing about this show that isn't named Matt Bomer!

Frank: i didn't really know anything about it going in, but it was really really good. "i love you all" is amazing.

We Are The Best is wonderful: Swedish movie from the director of Together, about 3 12 year old girls who form a punk band.
― #Research (stevie), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 09:37 (nine years ago) link
^Yeah Frank is great! I was fearing two hours of the ultimate indie-quirk house band. Don't be scared off! Lots of left turns wld watch again.
Second We Are The Best!—I took my 11- and 8-year old daughters to see it at the local art house, replete with subtitled fucks/cunts/assholes which was kinda tough BUT it was "uplifting" in the least offensive way.
― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:24 (nine years ago) link
Watched the movie wondering how long it'll be till my 8-month-old daughter has enough hair to cut it like Karla's, tbh.

Bird People, which is absolutely worth seeingWetlands, which I haven't seen yet and am curious about
We Are the Best is awesome

The Amazon pilot for The Man In The High Castle is A++
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 19 January 2015 16:50 (nine years ago) link
I enjoyed it. Let's hope they decide to make more. It seems to be the most popular of all the series pilots they are trying out.

Transparent is fantastic too.

Apparently, they are putting up The Interview on Saturday.

(haven't seen it but would bet a large sum of money)
yeah, I'm sure it sucks. thought it was noteworthy since it must be the shortest amount of time for a major release to from theaters to netflix.

Erm. Who edits a trailer for a TV show on a hip "network" to look like some crappy Hollywood feel good barf?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 January 2015 22:30 (nine years ago) link
thought it was weird that The Interview is up already! but then i stopped watching it about a half hour in. wasn't funny to me. started watching the bag man with cusack and de niro but i couldn't do it. like a bad 90's movie. so i watched tim roth liar t.v. show instead.
― scott seward, Monday, 26 January 2015 18:16 (nine years ago) link
scott, that sounds almost exactly like what I would do in that situation, including falling back on Lie to Me even though I've seen every episode twice already. (Except I probably wouldn't watch The Interview in the first place? But everything else is perfect.)

The Painting (Le tableau) (2011)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NNf1lrj2c
If you're in the mood for a visually engaging French language animation that touches upon class issues/racism and theology in a narrative about painted characters seeking their painter, literate kid friendly (though with artistic toplessness), its rather fine.

TV Junkie, rick kirkham's video diaries of his drug addiction and fucked up life, is pretty good. he's comes off pretty badly - he def sees himself as the star of his own movie, and he's very manipulative and abusive - but v compelling to watch.
