Narcos is such a drag. The pieces seem to be there but something's missing. It feels a little like an after school special or weekend TBS movie. The blonde lead reminds me of Macaulay culkin and is generally lifeless. I can't figure out why nothing seems to be happening when things are happening.

Best Of Enemies (which I finished last night) was fab. Buckley was an awful and intolerable mothefcuekr.

Slow Learners made me laugh out loud! for realz. there are some choice moments in that movie.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 December 2015 04:17 (eight years ago) link
you guys should watch Slow Learners AND Guidance. for the funny. make it a double feature.

Queen of Earth is amazing.
― Cory Sklar, Wednesday, 30 December 2015 23:19 (eight years ago) link
yeah, i'm gonna watch it.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 December 2015 23:32 (eight years ago) link
i made rufus and maria watch Slow Learners after they got back from canada tonight and they cracked up even more than i did when i watched it the first time. it still had me cracking up a second time though.

Tangerine was great, and very funny. I was put off a bit at first by the transgender angle (expecting some sort of sanctimonious liberal "issue" movie) and the fact that it was shot on iPhones (thinking it would be all shaky handheld shots), but am glad to report I was totally off base on both counts.

watch Fresh Meat, o american ilxors - it is a wonderful series.

"The Ridiculous Six, by way of example, in the first 30 days on Netflix it's been the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix," said Ted Sarandos. "It's also enjoyed a spot at #1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it's still #1."

Correction: 'Ridiculous Six' isn't Netflix's 'most-watched movie ever,' Sarandos just meant the most views in first 30 days. Big difference.

oh hm yea that was wild misleading

Loved Bone Tomahawk.

obvs i suppose but i imagine many people queued up 'Ridiculous Six' halfway thinking they were gonna see a tarantino movie

bone tomahawk was p good --- not as much 'horror' as i expected but what there was was just like o_O
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 7 January 2016 03:23 (eight years ago) link
yeah, after a certain point bone tomahawk just abandons all restraint and goes all-out on the gore. i thought it was alright overall but my love for kurt russell was outweighed in this case for my dislike for patrick wilson, a human-shaped black hole from which no screen presence or charisma can escape
― hand of jehuty and the blowfish (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 8 January 2016 14:56 (eight years ago) link
also i was regularly distracted from the movie by wondering whether kurt's hateful eight whiskers were grown before the ones he sports in bone tomahawk or vice-versa

Ha, me too. Loved the stilted formal to the point of surreal dialogue. "Mr Smith, would you please retrieve the flask jammed inside the cage of my ribs?"
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 8 January 2016 15:51 (eight years ago) link
tbh when Bone Tomahawk went to full gore I about puked

Guys, "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" is a blast.

I "watched" Bone Tomahawk, i.e. I fast forwarded through the gross stuff. I don't understand people.

What Happened Miss Simone? was a revelation for me. Wonderful film.
Was sort of disappointed with Queen of Earth.
Best of Enemies and the Cannon doc were both entertaining.

did you guys watch Slow Learners or Guidance yet? who am i supposed to talk to about these things?

I watched Slow Learners. Chuckled a few times.

you had to have laughed at the very beginning when he asks the bad date what his problem was? in the restaurant? that kinda killed me.

seemed like a very improv-y movie. in a good way.
― scott seward, Saturday, 9 January 2016 16:24 (eight years ago) link
Could have used less improv-ing and more improving

Liked Bone Tomahawk although Patrick Wilson was totally ridiculous and it's pretty deeply albeit slightly hilariously offensive.
