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

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

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 footing
xp 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

perfume movie is terrible don't do it

I think this novel may have kicked off my serial killer fascination many years ago. Didn't even know there was a movie.

smoochy-woochy touchy-wouchy, (sunny successor), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 01:08 (nine years ago) link

it's not up to the book standard

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 17 March 2015 01:52 (nine years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Monday, 23 March 2015 15:40 (nine years ago) link

sounds better than FM to me.

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Monday, 23 March 2015 15:45 (nine years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Monday, 23 March 2015 16:05 (nine years ago) link

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

scott seward, Monday, 23 March 2015 18:20 (nine years ago) link

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

scott seward, Tuesday, 24 March 2015 13:28 (nine years ago) link

I can imagine many ilxors thinking it worse than cancer, but I really enjoyed the first episode of garfunkel and oates

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.

Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope. (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 28 March 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link

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.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 4 April 2015 04:18 (nine years ago) link

yeah, that's pretty otm

Nhex, Saturday, 4 April 2015 06:16 (nine years ago) link

loved the pilot but the second ep was stanky

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.

Ethnically Ambiguous / 28 - 45 (ShariVari), Tuesday, 14 April 2015 21:11 (nine years ago) link

Goodbye to Language is streaming now as well
just fyi: there is no conceivable reason to watch this without 3-D and outside a theater

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 20:42 (nine years ago) link

apparently there is now a british show on canadian netflix called Scrotal Recall, fyi

rob, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 20:49 (nine years ago) link

enjoyed and rec this -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Partners_(film)

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

johnny crunch, Thursday, 16 April 2015 22:04 (nine years ago) link

gillian jacobs! queued.

Nhex, Thursday, 16 April 2015 22:32 (nine years ago) link

yea shes the best

johnny crunch, Thursday, 16 April 2015 22:35 (nine years ago) link

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

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 17 April 2015 02:22 (nine years ago) link

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.
