The indomitable David Yow appears as a bad guy on your netflix in the form of a movie entitled I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore. There is a critical scene in the movie in which his character claims that eating cat meat turns you invisible. All of the other scenes in the movie are excellent as well.

yeah I enjoyed it. Pretty unique tone

i wanna watch the episode of chef's table with the woman from Prune cuz i love that restaurant.

season two of british baking show is just as excellent as season one!

we watched two episodes of ultimate beastmaster t.v. show last night. insane obstacle course show produced by sly stallone. sly had a kind of genius idea by the way. all the teams/players represent a country and there are commentators from every country who they show doing color commentary with subtitles. so, i'm guessing if you watch netflix in germany or korea you would get the show with the german and korean commentators as the stars. it's a netflix-only game/competition show. i thought that was pretty smart anyway.

UK Netflix has Lindsay Anderson's 'If...'! I imagine everyone has seen it,but it suddenly decided to recommend a bunch of classic films to me today that I didn't know were there.

An Ilxor literally wrote the book on If.

Yeah! We chatted about it on a thread here somewhere, a long time ago. One of my favourite films.

Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Sunday, 26 February 2017 21:28 (seven years ago) link

i haven't seen it since i was a teen.

scott seward, Sunday, 26 February 2017 21:29 (seven years ago) link

That's the school kid revolt movie, right?

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 26 February 2017 21:34 (seven years ago) link

Aye. And the semi-sequel 'O Lucky Man' is great too, especially if you like Alan Price. The third, Britannia Hospital, is not so good.

I'm so IA about the PBS release of Great British Baking Show -- the season they aired as season 1 is actually season 4. There's 3 whole previous seasons that we haven't seen ggggaaaaaah

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:24 (seven years ago) link

whoa what? are 2 & 3 really 5 & 6 then?

sciatica, Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:30 (seven years ago) link

David yow movie is weird. Like a twee indie mumblecore movie where Tarantino takes over half way through.

dan selzer, Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:45 (seven years ago) link

xpost YES & it fucks me right off

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:46 (seven years ago) link

I loved it but I kinda like movies with an uneven tone

Cannot recommend The Invitation highly enough; just make good and goddamn sure you go in knowing as little as you possibly can.

Is there a reason why they don't call it the "Great British Bake Off" in the US? Does "bake off" mean underwear or something?

everyone is so NICE. that's what i can't get over. such a therapeutic show.

Because Betty Crocker or Kraft or somebody owns "Bake Off" in the US.

trishyb, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 00:17 (seven years ago) link

Pillsbury owns the Bake Off trademark

xxpost Scott my favorite from that season is Ruby, her low self esteem makes me love her like my adopted daughter

Howard is adorable

no drama + actually being able to watch enough of the process to understand how things are made are exactly why this show is so great

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 01:42 (seven years ago) link

AA, have you watched 'Insert Name Here', which she hosts? Most of it is on youtube, pretty entertaining

The same producers have a pottery show now which is equally lovely and human. All the contestants pull together to make sure everyone gets their stuff done on time, the judges sometimes well up when stuff is particularly good, and you learn a lot about how pottery is made. It's good stuff. They had a sewing one as well, but that hasn't been recommissioned. I think the mechanics of sewing just don't make great television.

this is pretty good! like qi with less reverence.

netflix could really do with a panel show or two. bill nye should be great but it's not quite the same thing.

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 12:07 (seven years ago) link

I'm getting stuck into Ken Burns' "Civil War" (American Civil War, that is) 12 part documentary

This was good. The writer/director Macon Blair is the creative partner of Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin, Green Room) and he's definitely mining the same seam.

you guys should really watch HAP AND LEONARD.

scott seward, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 14:52 (seven years ago) link

also HAP should really play sad drunk jack kerouac living with his mom in a movie. he's a dead ringer.

scott seward, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 14:54 (seven years ago) link

have we seen Gantz 0?

calstars, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:44 (seven years ago) link

i think i watched the trailer and it looked too much like a video game for me.

when i'm done with HAP AND LEONARD i'm gonna watch the first season of INTO THE BADLANDS. which is the walking dead with samurais instead of zombies.

scott seward, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:51 (seven years ago) link

Loved Hap & Leonard and looking forward to the second season.

Episode 4 or 5 was one of the most intense bits of TV I'd seen since Breaking Bad.

groovypanda, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 08:35 (seven years ago) link

iron fist is getting hammered, but they put scott buck in charge so tbh i'm not sure what people were expecting

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 9 March 2017 05:34 (seven years ago) link

Second series of Love released today. 4 episodes in so far - seems very watchable.

Dr Drudge (Bob Six), Saturday, 11 March 2017 00:03 (seven years ago) link

i wish there were more than 6 episodes of into the badlands. 6 is too few. 30 episodes would have been better.

scott seward, Saturday, 11 March 2017 19:43 (seven years ago) link

Im late to the party but Im 5 episodes in and My Crazy Ex Girlfriend is very funny
