i watched the guest last night and really enjoyed it - starts out as a fairly conventional psycho-in-suburban-home thriller then goes off the rails in some unexpected and amusing ways

I just noticed season 2 of Narcos is out, probably end up binge-watching it this weekend.

Is that show good?
― Spottie, Friday, 2 September 2016 15:06 (seven years ago) link
It is has a certain amount of faults which I haven't got time to go into, but is also very watchable and addictive.

streaming services have pulled the most amazing con w/r/t the movies they make available, they get people excited for what they pass up in the 50 cent DVD pile at yard sales.

yes, I do, although we've gone from a peak of 5 at a time to only 1

mostly because new seasons of tv series and movies come out on disc way sooner than they start streaming, for the most part.

No more discs for the last few years. Can't turn them over fast enough and don't care about new releases.

I've started paying the $2.99-6.99 for VOD again through the Google Play store. The bargain bin movies are fine for background noise around the house but when I'm able to actually make time for a movie night the Netflix options seem to have gotten weaker and weaker.
Bring on the TCM/Criterion streaming service

i can't bring myself to watch that milk carton kid documentary even though john waters likes it a lot. just not in the mood for missing kid grief...

what's the title? (though i do agree with you)
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Saturday, 3 September 2016 20:20 (seven years ago) link
I still do disc service, as I have a 500 title queue of which only <10% is also streamable.

do i really need to watch the u.s. shameless? people were talking about how good it was on facebook today. i kinda got tired of the u.k. one and stopped watching it. i briefly had showtime via hulu and didn't watch it then. but now its up on netflix.

well, no, i think i talked about this on some other thread. it's good in the way that the suburban mom is so perfect.

The Wheelchair President is rubbish. I don't know what I was expecting - an FDR documentary with some weight or authority, I guess - but this spends way too much time with the annoying presenter, who keeps dropping wheelchair-related puns into the script. I wish they'd given it to a Ken Burns who, while dry, at least has a fair sense of tone and, for the most part, a lot of substance to his work.

Didn't Burns do an FDR doc or a tandem one with Teddy?

this sounds like something that'd be in a parody trailer for a FDR documentary!

many xposts
harbl i have been on the fence about watching, yr the first person i sorta trust who has said it's bad.
because i honestly feel like the mom is batshit bonkers nuts & there is so much conspiracy theory vs actual things that happened in this story that i sort of hate every retelling of it that accepts her ideas as facts

Has anyone watched Twinsters?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1txduZwL2Yg
As a twin, it probably affected me more than it should have but my wife was really touched and engaged with it as well.
It's a completely unbelievable story at any rate. Kudos to the one sister for having the foresight to begin documenting from the beginning.

We just watched Twinsters the other day. It began sort of cute and insufferable, all the on-screen texting and stuff, but then it got deeper and weirdly fascinating, though it never goes full nature-nurture. Like the way the two girls were so similar in many regards but so different socially, and how they had such different feelings about their adoption. Psychologically there are all sorts of things going on, but I found it really touching how the one sister felt wanted, because she was the third child and the first adopted kid, which made her feel like a choice, but the other sister felt like a runner up, that not only did her birth mother not want her, her adopted parents only chose her because they could not have kids of their own.
My wife told me (don't know where she heard this) that there is apparently a large subculture of adopted Korean-American kids rediscovering their roots and moving back to Korea, despite not speaking the language, etc.
