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.

"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.

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

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?"

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.

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.

Uh, they had the scene with a Native American saying "these monsters aren't representative of us. They are monsters."

Claiming they're just some bad apple tribe seems like a weak balm for the racist craziness to follow.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Saturday, 9 January 2016 22:24 (eight years ago) link
Well, some of the characters are more or less racist. But they don't even really call them a bad apple tribe, just these weird freaks of nature. They call them Troglodytes. They eat people and roar.

yeah, that's a fun one.
have watched a couple raw meat episodes. i dig it.
it's on Hulu but if you like Germany before the wall fell and intrigue and Reagan nostalgia and wall to wall synth-pop and Nena then you might like Deutschland 83.

only 8 episodes too so not endless.

Could not agree more! My bf and I very much enjoyed watching this slowly only when we were together, which stretched it out. Pleasantly paced, not crazy, not extremely competitive, nice slow shots. My only complaint is WHO was putting ENORMOUS JEANS on all the female presenters???!
