Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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!

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.

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.

Thief was one of the first movies i ever saw where i went out the next day and got the soundtrack for it. my dad took me to see it.

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)

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

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 nbd
next 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

I'd try to determine if the fiancé was any good bmore fore I passed judgment

lol

bad typo correct there but you get it

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.

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

VG's description of that show makes me actually want to watch it lol

you're part of the problem obv

:)

oh definitely. i was SO into Journeyman ten years ago

Tracer, I can't find the bureau on uk Netflix?

xp

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.

Jed maybe I'm wrong!! Sorry - it was just something I read

Fake news! Sad!

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

Ooh, thanks, just added that to my queue.

Ooh yeah, thx.

Schitt's Creek is just delightful, can't believe I didn't know about it until last week.

Canadian netflix just added the Pioneers of African American Cinema collection and it looks amazing

Schitt's Creek is just delightful

I refuse to believe this

I watched it and I don't. It was okay though.

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.

i couldn't watch girlfriend's day though. sorry, bob! i will watch you in almost anything!

i mean i watched about 35 minutes or so. and its only 70 minutes....

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

I refuse to believe this

Because of the terrible name?

john mulaney's stand up specials are pretty damn funny

neal brennan's 3 Mics special is really good

someone was just telling me about that last night. Cool concept!

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.

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.

Yes. The Korean Buddhist cook episode was amazing.

Although it made me think wtf am I doing with my life?

I've never seen this show and I couldn't care less about Italian chefs going Jackson Pollock on plates but this was really good.

2 eps of Occupies left, am gripped

OccupieD

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

it's not a terrific film, but it did have lots of Neil Hamburger in it, so that was good

Randomly came across this in a bit of insomnia last night but holy hell how did nobody inform me that there was a Neil Hamburger movie? I can't say much more other than it cured my insomnia but will take another stab at it soon.

anyone been watching last chance u? really enjoyed it, dunno how it comes across to americans but thought it was really interesting from a euro pov. like, why is sport in america so tied to education? i guess in one way that's good but shouldn't there be a way for these players to just succeed based on ability and not have to exams etc along the way? is it just that college football is a sort of testing ground and nobody is ready for the nfl without it? it just seemed to me like some good athletes who would never be academic enough to pass their exams were being forced to try and get grades, which doesn't really happen in soccer, where people are just directly recruited by clubs at like 13 or younger.

the other thing i found weird in it was the laws of football, like if somebody destroys a guy with a late tackle and that guy then gets up and flicks a teeny punch at him, nothing happens to the first guy but the first is penalised? or is it just in this particular doc the umpires hate this dominant school?

just call me irish tuomas
