What I didn't remember was how much the concept of PG ratings has changed since then. There was a pretty constant barrage of cursing throughout the film, which made me cringe, but didn't really faze my son.
Try watching The Bad News Bears, your son will learn lots of new ethnic slurs they don't put in kids movies anymore

Could be good...anyone seen it?

if it's the same one that i saw on univision (i think?) it was quite goodi didn't watch the whole series, and was predisposed to be wary of the subject matter being sensationalized but i liked what i saw. the journalist is a great character and her hair changes are charmingthe guy who plays pablo escobar is also great

did you guys watch Teacher of the Year? i don't know whether to recommend it or not. key of key & peele is so over the top i'm tempted to use that old cliche about someone being in a different movie than everyone else in the movie. and the mix of drama/mockumentary comedy is just....weird.

Finished Mad Men, I've watched and re-watched all the good HBO series, not interested in rewatching Breaking Bad.
What show should I watch next? The Bridge?
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 23 August 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
have you seen the shield? it's got some corny 'this ain't network television' extreme aspects and there's a heavy homicide influence in the early seasons but it's pretty great imo and really holds up thru the end and feels it's actually building toward it's conclusion in the same way breaking bad did. it's only streaming on hulu plus though. i'd suggest homicide as well, esp if you liked the wire obv, but it's apparently not streaming nor available for digital purchase anywhere.
― balls, Sunday, 23 August 2015 21:08 (eight years ago) link
Good call on the Shield. I wanted to try that a couple of years ago but it wasn't streaming anywhere at all.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 23 August 2015 21:14 (eight years ago) link
i think the shield might work better streaming, a common complaint i heard of it while it was on the air really didn't come into play as much for me when i could just blow thru it in a few weeks
― balls, Sunday, 23 August 2015 21:18 (eight years ago) link
Shield is one of my top 3 shows of all time.

Shield finale a gold standard serial payoff.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 23 August 2015 22:17 (eight years ago) link
The first ep/pilot is definitely all like trying to hard to SHOCK YOU with all the CRAZY ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN DEATH, but it does get a lot more nuanced after that. Stick with it, right to the end.
― Jeff, Sunday, 23 August 2015 23:44 (eight years ago) link
Also, events of the very first episode haunt and affect the series right up until the end.

Pretty upset that, after it being on there constantly since probably the whole streaming aspect of Netflix started, Magnum P.I. has been removed. Oh my GOD!* It was my go-to. I could shell three pounds of purplehull peas in an episode. I didn't binge watch or whatever. Just spread em out over a few years there. I was working through season 4 when it happened. It was a shit season so far, to be far. Far too many silly episodes and not enough 'Nam flashbacks or other serious troubles, but still. Pretty bummed. Rockford Files will take over that slot in my life.

yeah i think the death in the pilot was just great storytelling....it's a gunshot to the stomach that all of the main characters slowly bleed out from for the entire series, and it definitely felt like it was planned that way by the writers. i also think the first season is really strong, tense genre fiction and i don't get why it's always dismissed by fans of the show.

I am currently 3 eps into Narcos - the P Escobar series, it is decent so far.

so they're apparently losing a huge chunk of their streaming movie selection and pivoting hard to Original Programming.

These streaming services are clearly gonna have to balkanize themselves into near-nonexistence before they realize that joining forces is the only way to survive.
― Herbie Mann's Push Push Pops (Old Lunch), Monday, 31 August 2015 14:11 (eight years ago) link
they've been moving away from films for a while. expensive, model of couple of expensive films+batch of crap inefficient in terms of viewer retention. long haul series, esp exclusive ones, best model for them. self-made presumably cost-efficient for them, tho i find it quite hard to see how. bought stuff usually cheaper idve thought. daredevil and HoC were both fairly set-heavy (compared to the extravagantly expensive GoT or even Sopranos or Breaking Bad or something insanely wanton and decadent like Deadwood). Always feel crap generic theme music/credits for netflix originals is an example of shaving costs.
exclusivity plus revenue on non-subscriber sales must make it worthwhile I guess.

amazon is stepping up a little better, adding to their movie library, but it's still weak (and annoying due to being mixed in with rent/ppv options)

oh ok, this clears it up. basically their deal with Epix is expiring, and they're not renewing. i didn't know about this deal, sounds similar to what Netflix used to do with Starz/Encore networks.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-30/netflix-to-drop-epix-channel-in-push-to-develop-original-films

I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBOGO, and am mostly watching HBOGO. They have about 100 movies at a time, but it's a good selection I'm not finding elsewhere. Netflix for me is best for arthouse/documentary movies from the past few years, and with Amazon it's more their streaming music library and free shipping.
