Bone Tomahawk is up on Amazon Prime.

One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Sunday, 3 January 2016 20:06 (eight years ago) link

pissed off that The Wild Bunch was yanked on Jan. 1 hours after I started rewatching.

"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."

gross

i hope to god that's because universal or whoever threw zillion$ at netflix for promo

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 21:27 (eight years ago) link

you gotta blame the people for that one

Nhex, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 21:30 (eight years ago) link

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

polyphonic, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link

oh hm yea that was wild misleading

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 22:45 (eight years ago) link

Loved Bone Tomahawk.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 23:40 (eight years ago) link

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

hand of jehuty and the blowfish (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 8 January 2016 14:59 (eight years ago) link

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

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 8 January 2016 16:07 (eight years ago) link

It's pretty eye-poppingly gross!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 8 January 2016 16:29 (eight years ago) link

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

goole, Friday, 8 January 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link

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

well u guys are making me feel great about seeing this at MoMA next week; i wonder how their 87-year-old patrons will react.

'gross stuff' was one scene tbf, but good luck!

heartily rec 'adult world,' now up

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.

Darin, Saturday, 9 January 2016 07:45 (eight years ago) link

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

scott seward, Saturday, 9 January 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link

I watched Slow Learners. Chuckled a few times.

Darin, Saturday, 9 January 2016 15:50 (eight years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Saturday, 9 January 2016 16:23 (eight years ago) link

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

i should always remember what a tough crowd you guys are...

scott seward, Saturday, 9 January 2016 19:53 (eight years ago) link

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

One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Saturday, 9 January 2016 20:15 (eight years ago) link

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

and P Wilson has Fargo cred so

Oh god yes that brought back some painful first date memories

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.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 10 January 2016 01:01 (eight years ago) link

Detectorists!!!!! Best dramedy I've seen in ages.

ian, Monday, 11 January 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link

Yes.

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 11 January 2016 16:32 (eight years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Monday, 11 January 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link

only 8 episodes too so not endless.

scott seward, Monday, 11 January 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link

Detectorists, yes!

I watched S1 of the Great British Baking Show in like less than 2 days

Damn that show is lovely

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 17 January 2016 23:48 (eight years ago) link

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???!

re jeans -- i said p much the exact same thing to my sis (who recommended the show to me) and she said that they have been wearing the same outfits for every season of the show so maybe it's their own thing??

jason waterfalls (gbx), Monday, 18 January 2016 03:40 (eight years ago) link

yeah i enjoyed that one a lot too, wish they had more seasons up

ciderpress, Monday, 18 January 2016 03:59 (eight years ago) link

omg yes enormous jeans. wtf

also i love how mary berry pronounces layers as "lairs"

i forgot how ott european baking is. some of the cakes they made in the technical challenges were nuts!
