Aw damn, that's a bummer. Pingu was a favorite of ours for a while. We had a similar thing happen a few months ago when they reduced their Dinosaur Train offerings to just one season.

Danger Mouse, guys. Give it a try.

It's a bit anglo but
they added Walerian Borowczyk's The Beast (1975) & Immoral Women (1979)

The Beast is a movie that you won't forget in a hurry

They're both extraordinary films.

Though possibly not a suitable alternative to Pingu.

watched that wes anderson movie with rufus this morning. the moon one. we enjoyed it. in a low-key way. i did love the look of the whole thing.
― scott seward, Saturday, 19 September 2015 16:45 (eight years ago) link
it doesn't really require much in the way of an emotional response from the viewer. which i appreciated because it was early and i was groggy.
― scott seward, Saturday, 19 September 2015 16:46 (eight years ago) link
it's great! it was the best Anderson movie in a long time by my count. the kids in it gave good fun performances
― Nhex, Saturday, 19 September 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
Wait does that mean you didn't like Fantastic Mr Fox?!?!

That's his best movie imo and the run after it is all pretty good. Before FMF I only really like Royal Tennenbaums.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Saturday, 19 September 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
I didn't like FMF except the actual animation & modelling. moonrise is my favorite of recent years

i admire how much effort he puts into things. i get all the twee salinger criticisms of his stuff, and he has probably inspired a lot of bad ukulele covers of french ye-ye songs but that's not his fault. i didn't like the one on the train. but i remember liking bottle rocket and rushmore and tennenbaums when they were out. i never saw the aquatic one or the hotel one. but i would totally watch them if they were on netflix. they work better if you just look at them as an art project. instead of great drama/storytelling/acting/etc. it is weird how the moonrise movie was so often on the VERGE of being funny, but then pulled back at the last second. very measured. seems like it should have been more madcap than it was. it did remind me of a weird old kid's book sorta. those kid's book covers in the movie were inspired.

the 4 yr old is obsessed with Puffin Rock, an Irish animated show. Puffins with Irish accents hanging out on an island having various chill adventures. thumbs up!
― nomar, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link
What seems bizarre is that Netflix's predictions of what star ratings I'd give things are usually very accurate, to within half a star, and yet its recommendation engine just keep shovelling up crap to me that it fully expects me to give 2 stars to, and that I'd only watch with a gun to my head.

There's another Irish animated show your kid might like then, nomar: http://www.jakers.co.uk/parentsteachers/program/images/slide_1.jpg

That Puffin Rock thing is made by the same animation studio that made Song of the Sea and Secret of the Kells! Neat.

Watched 'The One I Love' tonight, really liked it. Mark Duplass was just okay but Elisabeth Moss was outstanding. Did a great job of ratcheting up the tension.

started watching Person Of Interest. so far so ridiculous. but i dig it. in a comic book way. whatshisface really does sound like he's auditioning for Batman.
― scott seward, Friday, September 4, 2015 5:32 AM (1 month ago)
haha i've been watching this now ... he totally does this Clint Eastwood as Batman thing with his voice ... otm.

thanks for that recommendation, James!

Beasts Of No Nation is alright, quite moving at times and some brilliant young actors in it. I felt like it could have been more powerful if it was a bit more historically specific. Elba's performance was charismatic enough but I didn't find his character one iota convincing. Abraham Attah on the other hand, this kid was brilliant.
― xelab, Sunday, 18 October 2015 20:11 (eight years ago) link
Watched Your Sister's Sister last night - Mark Duplass is just meh everyman as usual but Rosemarie DeWitt and Emily Blunt are quite good.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 18 October 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
I still don't understand Mark Duplass is.. a thing
― Nhex, Sunday, 18 October 2015 21:19 (eight years ago) link
I want to like him, he used to be funny on The League and his WTF/Maron interview pointed to him having good intentions as a writer/director/performer, but he's terribly limited.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 18 October 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link
For sure, just goes as a sort of wide-eyed dude. Gotta imagine he's different in "Creep," though.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 18 October 2015 22:57 (eight years ago) link
Love him on Mindy and that movie e Elizabeth Moss.
― dan selzer, Monday, 19 October 2015 02:45 (eight years ago) link
pretty much the same guy in that movie and Your Sister's Sister (and from what I gather most of his own films)
turns out that mumblecore-y (Joe Swanberg, Lynn Shelton, etc.) stuff is right up my alley when it looks half decent.

last week, i really enjoyed the 'bloodline' series.
anyone know if it has been signed up for a second season ?

i think he's great in togetherness xp

xxp from what i hear yes. still need to get around to Bloodline myself, was a huge fan of Damages

not a netflix rec, but amazon prime if you have it: 'catastrophe'. so so hilarious that i ended up buying sharon hogan's other show, 'pulling', which is also amazing.
― just1n3, Monday, 19 October 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
so i'm back on this ish because now i switch/choose from all the different stuff that is on all 22 countries, which basically is just about everything.
the only bad thing is the japanese shows don't have subtitles, but it's still enjoyable

have you guys watched Scrotal Recall? i watched one episode. not bad as far as brits behaving badly shows go.

anyway the hola extension can get you access to every country's netflix content. that's my rec!

on amazon prime, i recommend 'nameless gangster', which is a really good Korean gangster flick and has a great central performance by choi min-sik.

xpost Huh. Is that the first show to make the jump from original programming on a streaming service to TV proper?
― Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:39 (eight years ago) link
Oh, wait. I didn't realize it was already an actual TV show on actual TV.
― Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Monday, 19 October 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link
both seasons are on amazon but only the first is prime. i loved it so much that i paid for season 2.
it's the kind of thing i totally wouldn't look twice at, since i'm not really into sitcom episode formatting and it also didn't sound all that interesting, but we were looking for an easy show to watch and just happened upon it bc amazon was doing those big banner ads.
the only show i've watched that literally makes me lol multiple times is broad city.
― just1n3, Monday, 19 October 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
is 'love soup' available anywhere? slightly high-concept romcom thing. series one was particularly groundbreaking - hour long episodes... some people might like it...
