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.

Helper

i watched wolfpack movie. someone told me it's a big movie with teens/teen girls. cuz those guys are kindly oddly vampirish.

scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:28 (eight years ago) link

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.

it's so good

everyone itt: watch blue ruin if you haven't already

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 00:59 (eight years ago) link

Yeah Blue Ruin's amazing

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:07 (eight years ago) link

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

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:10 (eight years ago) link

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

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:10 (eight years ago) link

I liked Tangerine

dan selzer, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:32 (eight years ago) link

Blue ruin thirded. and Tangerine. Blue is the warmest colour is a must-see tho

i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:38 (eight years ago) link

i loved mr. turner but it's extremely in my wheelhouse

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:41 (eight years ago) link

rondo putting up with dwight's constant shit is an amusing scenario

I love Robbery AND Fraud (Clay), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:01 (eight years ago) link

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.

mr turner is great, admittedly not everyones cuppa tea tho

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:10 (eight years ago) link

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"

Nhex, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:29 (eight years ago) link

i loved topsy turvy but the avatar/poster for mr turner just screams 'prestige picture' oscar bait

remove butt (abanana), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 04:05 (eight years ago) link

listen to yourself

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 04:49 (eight years ago) link

mike leigh isn't tom hooper

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 05:15 (eight years ago) link

a separation, blue ruin, and mr. turner are not on netflix. streaming anyway.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:23 (eight years ago) link

they are in canada

remove butt (abanana), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:36 (eight years ago) link

wait, you all live in canada? you do not all live in canada.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 02:39 (eight years ago) link

canada is pretty big.

I thought that said "Grenlandia (duh)"

watched half of Wetlands tonight. butt-tastic! will watch the other half tomorrow. keep thinking john waters must have put it on his best of the year list.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 03:40 (eight years ago) link

Basically nothing mentioned in this thread is available to watch on Netflix Australia :(

like Uber, but for underpants (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 04:29 (eight years ago) link

get the hola extension for chrome!

just1n3, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 04:36 (eight years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:44 (eight years ago) link

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

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:45 (eight years ago) link

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.

I Can Say I Know We're Risin' Underneath The Blazin' Sky (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:53 (eight years ago) link

jimmy carr is one of the enemies, just fyi

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 14:23 (eight years ago) link

my vpn of choice, unblock us, just shit the bed fyi

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

F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 16:33 (eight years ago) link

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

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 16:49 (eight years ago) link

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]

scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link

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.

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:56 (eight years ago) link

I'm watching Angel now and it is great

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 24 March 2016 03:56 (eight years ago) link

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

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.

Tuomas, Thursday, 24 March 2016 10:49 (eight years ago) link

traveling to other countries just to view their netflix selection: c/d

μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 24 March 2016 14:00 (eight years ago) link

This sucks!! are there ANY VPN alternatives to unblock-us et al? How am I gonna get my Daltons/Lapins Cretins fix??

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

F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 25 March 2016 18:58 (eight years ago) link

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