"Did you watch this, Scott?"
finished the first season of red road and moving on to the second. too bad it got cancelled. i really like it. so far sundance channel is 2/2 with me cuz i really like this and rectify.

Good! I liked the second season even more I think. The Jean storyline really opens up in season two—not sure I've ever seen such a harrowing and convincing (?) portrait of a schizophrenic.
― Hadrian VIII, Saturday, 12 December 2015 18:34 (eight years ago) link
second season was way better than the first: Jean is more tolerable, and less time spent on boring Harold

cannot rave abt "Rock This Boat: New Kids On The Block" enough, nine 19-minute episodes of a reality show abt NKOTB superfans on the NKOTB cruise. It is so OTT manufactured and ridiculous (also: sloppy and horribly edited) on top of its already batshit premise and so-bad-its-good and I am having too much fun watching it.― cory artangel (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, December 7, 2015 11:56 AM (1 week ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Woah what year was the cruise? PP's sister somehow fenagled her way onto a NKOTB cruise back in the day.

Limmy's Show is on U.S. Netflix. Glaswegian absurdist sketch-comedy. He has a strong accent so maybe strictly 4 my scotophiles.

I dunno, it seems like it might have actual jokes instead of winking offensive references ala Family Guy.That 70s Show + All In The Family + King of the Hill isn't a bad starting point for a sitcom.

i hear *making a murderer* is supposed to be really good/intense/nuts. true crime doc mini-series. my tolerance for true crime kinda low though. 10 episodes and 10 years of filming. went up today.
― scott seward, Friday, 18 December 2015 18:36 (eight years ago) link
― scott seward
the only one I can really recommend whole-heartedly is limmy's show. it's a sketch show and episode 5 is probably the highlight of that season, though it may help to watch one or two episodes before it so you get the general feel of the show. he has a thick Glaswegian accent.
burnistoun is a decent enough sketch show, also with reasonably thick Glaswegian accents (actually all of these shows are Glasgow-based). I straight up recommend you don't watch either rab c nesbitt or empty - although if you watch and enjoy burnistoun then empty is a sitcom by the same writers.

Best Of Enemies is good but I'm finding Buckleys preening, affected manner and risible politics very hard to stomach.
― Are you fondeling the computer. (stevie), Sunday, 20 December 2015 21:34 (eight years ago) link
i really liked the first season of Helix more than i thought it would. such a crazy show. but very entertaining. only watched the first episode of season two and that episode alone is completely nuts. also has a weird alternate timeline thing going on a la Lost in season two. i guess it stems from Lost. back and forth in time. and they are on an island.
anyway, if you like madcap scifi virus shows, you should check it out. also if you like the arctic circle. and sorta zombies but not really zombies. just viral people. i give it an A for effort given that they didn't have a ton of money to work with.

Watched this last night. It was fun, but I wish they would've slowed it down at some point. Clips, interviews, etc all just kept coming too fast and I was never really able to settle in to it.

I had no idea Electric Boogaloo was on Netflix. The DVD is still sadly sitting unwatched on my shelf, and if I get the Cannon box set I've been strongly hinting for Christmas, I'm about to have two copies.
If you're feeling like you didn't quite scratch the Golan & Globus surface, keep in mind that there were two Cannon docs released this year!

Yeah, they allude to the other one at the end. Golan & Globus declined to appear in Electric Boogaloo because they were producing their own. Living very much in character.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 22 December 2015 02:42 (eight years ago) link
it moves at quite a clip, but I feel if they'd slowed down they wouldn't have been able to cram so much into it. from what i understand that other doc is v much a hagiography.
― Are you fondeling the computer. (stevie), Tuesday, 22 December 2015 07:40 (eight years ago) link
at first it felt way too fast and rushed but once they started getting to the auteur phase, i understood that the story (if there was one) was how Cannon stayed in business in spite of a neverending conga line of cheesy movies i enjoyed the scenery from what i saw as it whizzed by on the screen and the ending montage was fantastic

Started watching Making of a Murderer and suddenly realised halfway through the episode that I'd heard a Radiolab episode about the same case

Studio 4°C put up a bunch of movies this week: the kinda Ghibli-esque Princess Arete, the two Genius Party anthologies which are hit or miss but each has at least one killer short (Masaaki Yuasa's "Happy Machine," Koji Morimoto's "Dimension Bomb") and most importantly MIND GAME, which is one of the best goddamn animated films ever.

season 2 of Helix is completely bonkers. too bad it got cancelled. how bad does a show have to do to get cancelled from the syfy network?
anyway, i know its a hard sell because you would kinda have to watch the first season to be invested in the second season, BUT if you smoke a LOT of pot or just like to watch crazy shows that are not predictable....
i mean it's pretty fucking nuts. the 2nd season. and i'm not even done with it yet.

DePalma's Snake Eyes is perfect for Netflix -- not worth seeing, except for the opening continuous tracking shot.
