Holy Motors, maybe not with the kids...probably goes w/o saying but pairs very well with a local smokable Movie Help. I've kept it in my queue to go back in and re-watch a scene or two. I also liked the Carax documentary.

For most of it I had a hard time telling them apart...my only disappointment was not seeing/hearing more of their music, seems like it wld be interesting.

Yeah Blue Ruin's amazing

r. butt, go directly to A Separation, do not pass Go. One of the best films of the past quarter century.

And I would advise skipping Mr. Turner, kinda stupid I thought.
I liked Tangerine

We liked Blue is the Warmest but I think had to stop watching it for some reason (probably a kid woke up) and then never got back to it, which is basically what happens when we try to watch any >90 min movie. At least we saw the fingerbanging scene though, that was something.

A Separation gets a recommendation from me too, though it's hard to be like "yeah i'm totally in the mood for this realistic depressing drama"

Have done that in the past, but Hola seems to include the risk of all sorts of dodgy crap being run through your IP
― like Uber, but for underpants (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 06:00 (eight years ago) link
maybe their should be a separate Netflix thread for the Queen's subjects.
for the record, James, i definitely recommend Mad Max, Dogs In Space, Starstruck, and Walkabout.

Get a VPN, that should do the region trick, right?

i watched the jimmy carr special. you can get that in australia. his laugh started to drive me nuts though. also had no idea who he was.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:45 (eight years ago) link
Wait, Blue Ruin is gone right now? Goddamnit, that's why I hate streaming. I just want every movie there, forever. I mean, I'm sure it'll be back, but I want it now!
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:47 (eight years ago) link
That's why I still buy physical media and always remind myself that I can rely on Netflix for nothing.

ya hola has potential security risks, so sorry for recommending it earlier
but i believe it's one of few that still does the trick
hesitating to use it though

i've emailed unblock-us and they recommended using new DNS servers, but netflix still no worky

yeah, jimmy carr was new to me. do all brit ilxors hate him? he DID get four A grades and a 2:1. #incomprehensiblebritisherwikiposts
After earning four 'A' grades at the GCE Advanced Level exams,[11] Carr read political science at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He graduated with a 2:1 in 1994.[2][12]

I finally finished the Canon doc, and man it's amazing how many of those shit movies I saw as a kid, and how how even back then I could tell they were pieces of shit.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link
i have no idea what any of that means either scott but yes i'm pretty sure all brit ilxors hate him. he is sometimes funny in a narrow, chops sense of the word but he's also just snotty and awful and sneering
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link
Hahahaa at #incomprehensiblebritishwiki
Jimmy Carr is terrible. I saw him once at a just for laughs gala among a bunch of other comedians and he was just so unfunny. I don't get his popularly. Also, Just for Laughs galas are horrible in general imo and I learned my lesson about them after getting drawn in by the comp media tickets a few years in a row - they tread a line of banality that makes me want to run screaming from it.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:51 (eight years ago) link
But as Canadians we cannot escape the just for laughs phenomenon :( or maybe now that not everyone has free CBC over the airwaves, we can. And if you live in Montreal long enough you will eventually get caught by - or quickly cross the street to avoid (I actually went 10 minutes out of my way once when they were in a park on my way to work) - a JFL Gags crew of shitty practical jokers with cameras. The absolute worst.

I'm watching Angel now and it is great
I think the unblock.us era is over. Funnily enough they just stopped accepting payment via paypal - I wonder if that reflects choppy legal waters for them somehow.

I use Freedome VPN, and a while ago it still allowed you to watch different countries' Netflix, but it seems they've found some way to detect these, because now all I get is a warning about proxies, and Netflix doesn't work until I turn Freedome off.

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 25 March 2016 09:28 (eight years ago) link
no idea. but as soon as i heard unblock us had problems a few weeks ago i cancelled it
the netflix reddit and related reddits have lots of users complaining
you have to dig through the threads to find a reliable vpn rec

Can't vouch for it, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that Entertainment (the Neil Hamburger movie) is up now.
