only watched the grace and frankie pilot, but lily tomlin and her husband are in a much better sitcom than jane fonda, who is terrible, and the scripts seemed very joke-light and not very good.

Force Majeure is amazing.

seriously, though, you guys, Rectify is worth your time if you like family drama and fucked up people. or fucked up families. or people in Georgia getting all weird.

scott seward, Friday, 22 May 2015 23:54 (nine years ago) link

great supporting characters too.

scott seward, Friday, 22 May 2015 23:54 (nine years ago) link

I liked that they chose an actor for the lead role who has a pretty unsettling look about him - he's not ugly or plain but he's not the typical male lead either.

he can be pretty great in it!

scott seward, Saturday, 23 May 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I'm very alone in the Force Majeure sucks camp. Saw some fellow dissenters in the Last x Movies You Saw thread thankfully. Outside of the beautiful cinematography and a few scenes, I found it completely tedious. Wanted everyone outside of the Viking to die in an avalanche.

i thought Rectify almost entirely lost it's momentum toward the end of the second season, and i found the lead dude tiring, but yeah, it had some amazing moments and i found Tawney and her husband to be really compelling characters.

so many of the shows i watch on netflix tend to lose their momentum after the first season, but there is definitely enough to keep me going in the 2nd season. we have 2 or 3 episodes to go. the trip to florida episode made me uneasy in a way that a lot of shows don't. also the antique dealer party episode too! i always fear the worst...

when they're shooting the CDs with a shotgun...

Mr. Murphy in the wine bar. (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 6 June 2015 19:12 (eight years ago) link

canadian show where everyone dies over the age of 22 is bad too.

scott seward, Saturday, 6 June 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link

quinquin is good, imagine true detective done as a french farce v bingeable

johnny crunch, Saturday, 6 June 2015 20:26 (eight years ago) link

I'm slow, but I'm just now 4 episodes deep into Grace & Frankie and I'm liking it except for Sheen and Waterston who seem to play off one another terribly.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 7 June 2015 04:36 (eight years ago) link

this song from quinquin really slays imo

I loved Danger Mouse almost more than anything when I was a kid. I have not seen it since. Now it's on Netflix. Should I revisit? y/n

Johnny Fever, Friday, 19 June 2015 18:01 (eight years ago) link

I watched a couple last night, they were dead funny. But I am British so get all the references, ymmv.

appropriation and whatnot (stevie), Saturday, 20 June 2015 08:19 (eight years ago) link

danger mouse was legit funny, I'm glad it still holds up

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 June 2015 15:54 (eight years ago) link

xp good! I'll queue it up today.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 20 June 2015 16:00 (eight years ago) link

To this day I still find myself muttering "I will-a not tell-a you it is a trap!" from some episode where the Italian crow (name forgotten) hypnotises Penfold into luring DM into a trap.

I enjoyed the simple visual gag of danger mouse and penfold being shut in a darkened room, with danger mouse's one blinking eye

badg, Sunday, 21 June 2015 19:44 (eight years ago) link

Xp: stilleto!

This is good news. I'll try it out on my kids tonight.

Stephen Chow's God of Cookery and King of Comedy have been added. I've only seen Comedy, it's really good.

aaaaablnnn (abanana), Thursday, 25 June 2015 14:29 (eight years ago) link

nice, i always wanted to see those

Nhex, Thursday, 25 June 2015 15:28 (eight years ago) link

toad road is the drug hippie vers of 'snow on tha bluff' & i say that in the best possible way

johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 June 2015 19:07 (eight years ago) link

yuck i don't want to see that i don't think. i loved snow on tha bluff though.

scott seward, Saturday, 27 June 2015 19:12 (eight years ago) link

even tougher sell if you become aware that all the drug use depicted is real drugs & that the lead actress literally od'd in real life as it started playing festivals o_O

johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 June 2015 19:41 (eight years ago) link

that sounds horrible
i enjoyed the 2003 doc 'girlhood' recently and happy valley was really good too (kinda gave me the chills to observe herd mentality so clearly but also interesting)

Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Saturday, 27 June 2015 19:48 (eight years ago) link

what's a good horror movie from this list (canadian netflix) http://www.imdb.com/list/ls051028129/

flopson, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:11 (eight years ago) link

watch all the David DeCoteau 1313 movies and prepare to have your life changed forever.

scott seward, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:40 (eight years ago) link

you HAVE seen The Descent, right? i mean you must have seen it.

scott seward, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:42 (eight years ago) link

The Snowtown Murders shouldn't really be on there. as horrific as it is. kinda essential viewing if you ask me. we talked about it a lot on here somewhere.

scott seward, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:48 (eight years ago) link

but when in doubt watch The Seventh Sign.

scott seward, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:48 (eight years ago) link

or Pumpkinhead. most of the good movies on that list are old. watch Mimic or The Mist.

scott seward, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 01:50 (eight years ago) link

Anyone watch Advantageous?

schwantz, Tuesday, 30 June 2015 17:01 (eight years ago) link

A poster I designed for a local health service is visible for a few seconds in the background of a scene in Snowtown. My claim to fame.

(I was attempting a Snow On Tha Bluff/Toad Road double-feature, so maybe *I'm* the one who OD'd, on shaky cams
