Les Demoiselles de Rochfort is now on Netflix USA, Hard Target is now on Netflix UK. Would struggle to pick a favourite there.

Why does everyone love this Unbreakable show so much? The jokes are snappy but the acting is terrible, the delivery is terrible, and everything between the jokes is terrible and over acted or broad or whatever the technical term is.

did you watch 30 Rock? it was equally cartoonish in style.
― lil urbane (Jordan), Friday, 13 March 2015 22:25 (nine years ago) link
No.

you should, it's funny.

just binge-watched all of broad city up to its current episode, and i tried the unbreakable kimmy schmidt tonight and it seemed so try-hard and not-funny in comparison. i think broad city has ruined me for all other comedies.
― just1n3, Saturday, 14 March 2015 07:10 (nine years ago) link
everyone should really just start with episode 3 of kimmy. the first two are not great. it gets way better. this is the last time i will say this on here, i promise!

i watched the french Point Blank last night. really dug that. although i couldn't help think about who they were gonna get for an american version. liam neeson probably a little old to be playing a student nurse. they could make him a doctor though...
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 March 2015 15:10 (nine years ago) link
but anyway if you like good lean & mean action movies, that one is a good one.
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 March 2015 15:11 (nine years ago) link
staying away from the kimmy thread until i've finished the series but omg martin short
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Sunday, 15 March 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
id recommend staying away from the kimmy thread period, it is basically half "i enjoyed this show" and half "if you enjoyed this show you are an irredeemable racist" which i now realize is kind of a recurring theme across much of ilx so i guess post retracted
― head clowning instructor (art), Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:04 (nine years ago) link
ok yes that sounds like good advice
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:07 (nine years ago) link
I watched almost all of Kimmy Schmidt last night and I like it but I don't think I ever actually had a real, deep laugh while watching it. It's amusing. I'm also jaded.
― akm, Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:47 (nine years ago) link
it helps if you have a big pot brownie. i thought i was gonna die the night i watched 8 in a row.

i watched a horrible nic cage movie last night. i guess i was feeling masochistic. i mean, i watched Salesman and F For Fake on Hulu a couple of days ago, so maybe i thought i was watching too many good movies. anyway, this movie was kinda like a movie that usually stars a professional wrestler or a mixed martial arts fighter, but it had nic cage in it instead. and danny glover! poor danny glover...the "surprise" in this movie was not a surprise if you have ever watched more than one episode of Law & Order, but the "surprise" made everything that happened in the movie completely senseless and pointless. like the movie! which is kind of a meta-take on a movie like this. in a way. i just kept starring at nic's hair. and hairline. and his face. his weird lumpy face. he screamed and cried so much in this movie. it was like a liam neeson revenge movie without the subtlety. peter stormare plays a gangster in a wheelchair and in five minutes his accent goes from russian to irish to bronx to marbles and it is really something to see.
― scott seward, Sunday, 15 March 2015 16:59 (nine years ago) link
"staring" not "starring". but his hair is kinda the star these days.

Kimmy is no Broad City, but I enjoy it in a comfort giggle tomato soup kind of way.
― Darin, Sunday, 15 March 2015 18:18 (nine years ago) link
I laughed atypically hard at Kimmy Schmidt.

I really didn't like the pilot of broad city, should I have persevered? is it on netflix? unbreakable is making my gf LOL on the reg, and she is obsessed with the theme song
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Sunday, 15 March 2015 18:32 (nine years ago) link
holy shit that theme song gets stuck in my head all day
broad city is on hulu - highly recommend it
― Darin, Sunday, 15 March 2015 18:53 (nine years ago) link
broad city is good if you don't like workaholics or girls or one of the dozen brit lad shows. or the new girl.
― scott seward, Sunday, 15 March 2015 19:11 (nine years ago) link
am i the only person who liked the wrong mans? can't remember it being mentioned on ilx but i never searched for it on here...
― scott seward, Sunday, 15 March 2015 19:14 (nine years ago) link
i like girls, and love the first couple of seasons of new girl.
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Sunday, 15 March 2015 19:19 (nine years ago) link
i didn't get past the Broad City pilot either. maybe i'll give it another chance someday, it's on amazon prime
― Nhex, Monday, 16 March 2015 13:15 (nine years ago) link
everyone should really just start with episode 3 of .... the first two are not great. it gets way better.
This seems like a recurring theme with so much TV. "Skip the first couple of episodes! Skip the entire first season!" Etc.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 16 March 2015 13:29 (nine years ago) link
rectify s. 2 is up
― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 16 March 2015 13:30 (nine years ago) link
Don't skip the first season.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 16 March 2015 13:47 (nine years ago) link
It's a recurring theme because all but a very few shows take a few episodes or an entire season to get cast/writers/etc to gel
― Is It Any Wonder I'm Not the (President Keyes), Monday, 16 March 2015 13:58 (nine years ago) link
I don't believe in skipping. You should just tough it out - incredibly few shows (sitcoms especially) are good straight out of the gate and take several eps to find their footingxp yeah
― Nhex, Monday, 16 March 2015 14:05 (nine years ago) link
yea. Early episodes have to do a lot of explaining and introducing. this makes them worse, but they are important.
― Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 16 March 2015 14:24 (nine years ago) link
really? I don't think anyone says anything remotely close to that on that thread.
― Brio2, Monday, 16 March 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link
yeah, there are a few mentions of the "Dong" jokes, but no one riding through on a self righteous horse afaict

uhhhhhhh so I missed the beginning of that movie while cooking and I may have thought it was supposed to be an inspirational tale of a dude who was good at smelling things
― Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 04:31 (nine years ago) link
so I was really confused that he killed that woman, and I turned it off after he killed the cat.
― Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 04:32 (nine years ago) link
so that was my fault
― Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 04:33 (nine years ago) link
but seriously, who can smell stuff that's deep underwater and many feet away. how many ppm wet stone and frog eggs could have been under his nose? that was stupid.
― Team Foxcatcherwatcher (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 04:35 (nine years ago) link
Force Majeure is sooooooo friggin' good. everyone here HAS to watch it. if you haven't already.
was trying to think of an american director that could make a movie like this and i couldn't think of any. of course an american version would star ben stiller and be some awful greenberg-esque "dark" comedy.
