That's the school kid revolt movie, right?

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

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

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?

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

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.
― trishyb, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 09:34 (seven years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

xp AMC was definitely dipping their toes in the water with that series, at least there's gonna be a second series now. I should go back and watch it, liked the first two eps and forgot to continue

Can someone confirm that this Netflix original David Brent movie that I didn't know existed is, in fact, shit so I don't feel compelled to watch it and spoil my opinion of an otherwise fantastic character?

Netflix should have a background noise option that switches between non-fiction/reality TV shows - I don't want to listen to eight episodes of the same crappy low-budget TV in a row while working, but I don't want to have to think about switching either.
