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.

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.

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
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
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.

sounds better than FM to me.

yikes, really? i already want to watch Force Majeure again.
― scott seward, Monday, 23 March 2015 15:47 (nine years ago) link
I thought it peaked early, with Dad hauling ass.
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Monday, 23 March 2015 15:53 (nine years ago) link
that is one of the best set-ups for a movie i've ever seen. could watch that scene on repeat forever. but it sets up great stuff. like the look on mom's face when she's brushing her teeth in the bathroom with dad. best look ever! plus, i loved mats.

speaking of sundance, anyone watch the Red Road series? Lisa Bonet! Tom Sizemore!

watched Force Majeure with Rufus last night. he really liked it.

I can imagine many ilxors thinking it worse than cancer, but I really enjoyed the first episode of garfunkel and oates
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Saturday, 28 March 2015 19:57 (nine years ago) link
I know I should give Garfunkel and Oates a fair chance, but at a distance it looks like unfunny trust fund comedy.
― Darin, Saturday, 28 March 2015 20:25 (nine years ago) link
i never got a "trust fund" vibe from them but ymmv
― polyphonic, Saturday, 28 March 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link
Well, my impression has more to do with IFC's batting record than any real assessment of G&O.
― Darin, Saturday, 28 March 2015 21:14 (nine years ago) link
it's not terrible except when it is.

A bunch of Joe Swanberg movies have been added recently (searched post-WTF). I've only seen Drinking Buddies but I liked it a lot, going to try the Anna Kendrick one tonight.

Garfunkel and Oates show is not objectively that great, but I find them so unstoppably likable that I'm watching it anyway.

Just found out that if you're willing to use a VPN or unblock-us, some Louis Theroux docs that are hard to find in the US are available on UK Netflix
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 12 April 2015 22:27 (nine years ago) link
The Babadook now on US Netflix. Spring Breakers now on UK Netflix.
The former isn't quite as good as it was hyped to be but still worth seeing. The latter is amazing.

could see it getting criticism for some cliched lesbian potrayal scenes but its much more abt quarter life friendship/lyfe crises & is funny and very relatable

Gillian Jacobs being shorter than Leighton Meester is blowing my mind. I always assumed she was really tall.

Really enjoyed Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon. It's definitely a feel good documentary but sometimes that's just fine.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 17 April 2015 02:52 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i think its only real drawback is there's no tension there, except for "Shep can't find the perfect woman to settle down with and start a family". But the rest is gravy.
