I ended up watching Michael Mann's "Thief" with James Caan which I had never seen before. Awesome flick!

US Netflix sounds so much better than the UK one...

i've not checked in a while, but the us netflix used to be choc-a-block with cheap garbage to pad the catalogue. unogs indicates the difference in number of titles isn't as huge as it once was.

I pretty much just watch non-U.S. television shows on Netflix, something that is still novel and exciting to me

Just watched the first two eps of The Bureau tonight, so much intrigue already. If you liked Okkupert Sarah, you'll love this even more.

Call of Heroes! So awesome. If you are the kind of person who just wants to occasionally see a completely awesome new martial arts movie, watch that one. All killer no filler!
― scott seward, Thursday, 9 February 2017 22:12 (seven years ago) link
why did time travel have to become the new zombies? i hate time travel.
also, remember to watch Call of Heroes! so good.

Love is one of the most boring movies ever made, but it's got a striking sex scene at the end set to Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" score.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 10 February 2017 19:35 (seven years ago) link
that is one of the few movies that I recommend seeing in 3d
warning though, it fly at u face

this is on Hulu but i already know i'm gonna watch all of This Is Us. watched 2 episodes last night. i'm such a sucker for that stuff. Mandy Moore + Jess from Gilmore Girls and a cast of thousands. like Boyhood meets Parenthood. first episode was so good! if you are me. totally cornball.

I read it got criticized at the time for sounding so unsuitable. Of course now, it sounds just right.

show a: don't touch anything or you will change history forever
show b: every time you travel backwards everything resets itself, so it's fine, relax
show c: you can only go backwards
show d: time travel will make you sick and/or cause you to gradually deteriorate
show e: you can bounce around in time all you like and it's fine
show f: you should never ever meet yourself (unless i meet myself which is fine, or unless i say so which is also fine)
― Autumn Almanac, Friday, 10 February 2017 22:15 (seven years ago) link
all these loosey goosey ladida time travellers should be hauled away by the dept of temporal investigations & held in front of some kind of nuremberg for time travel crimes
barry allen should be put to death imo

i love time travel btw
me too, but the various and contradictory rules are exhausting
― Autumn Almanac, Friday, 10 February 2017 22:55 (seven years ago) link
I had to stop watching Timeless bc it was so handwavey woman timetravels, gets back & her sister no longer exists. (!) alarmed, she tells her superior overseeing her timetravel mission & superior is like eh nbdnext time she returns from timetravels she suddenly has a fiancee she never had before & she's like UM?and they're still like ehhh dont worry
I NEARLY KICKED MY TV OUT THE WINDOW
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 February 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link
I'd try to determine if the fiancé was any good bmore fore I passed judgment

the one with will from will & grace is kinda funny. he's an unlikely serious future traveler for some reason. or i can't take him seriously because he's will i guess. too bad jack was busy. jack as future traveler would be a hoot.
― scott seward, Friday, 10 February 2017 23:08 (seven years ago) link
yeah the handwaviness is the biggest problem in time travel, sooner or later the story/world will bump into its own set of rules and just go "eh"
xp that's my next one to watch, but every time travel thing is a time investment because they necessarily get so deep and involved
― Autumn Almanac, Friday, 10 February 2017 23:10 (seven years ago) link
VG's description of that show makes me actually want to watch it lol

fascinating panel discussion with the showrunners of girlboss, dear white people, ultimate beastmaster & the oa. it's a little bit fawning (it's a netflix panel) but they all talk in depth about the differences in pitching, commissioning, production and post-production between netflix and free-to-air networks. by watching this you get a really good sense of what netflix wants to build in the long run.

Raja, Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyaan - a documentary series about regional Indian cuisine - seems very interesting from the first couple of episodes.

i love schitt's creek. i had no idea the son is eugene's real son. i love the son. and the diner waitress is his real daughter. it's a strangely comforting show. i just love the way everyone speaks.

It has Odenkirk in it, right? Still not sure it appeals.

korean monk on season 3 of chef's table made me feel so shabby. everything in that episode was so perfect looking and perfect and my house is so messy right now. she was awesome and filled me with aspirational monk chic envy.
― scott seward, Monday, 20 February 2017 02:27 (seven years ago) link
feel that. there is (was?) this little magazine, apartamento, that had interviews w/people and showed their own spaces. a lot of cluttered, idiosyncratic, stacked magazine spaces. made me feel normal, like real humans don't live in these weird hgtv expansive spaces and lofts

all the monk clothes were spotless and perfect and they live on top of a mountain. pretty much the healthiest people you've ever seen in your life.
