I have expressed my love for the 100 before. Haven't caught up with the last season yet though

now there are two...
― scott seward, Thursday, 1 June 2017 14:12 (six years ago) link
its one of those things that i love that i wouldn't recommend to anyone. because they would never watch it.
― scott seward, Thursday, 1 June 2017 14:13 (six years ago) link
but you should all still watch The Overnight!
― scott seward, Thursday, 1 June 2017 14:14 (six years ago) link
I love it because it is clearly steals bits from Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Earth 2, and about a dozen other scifi shows and DNGAF.

i totally forgot that melanie lynskey was in heavenly creatures and played rose on 2 & a half men and is from new zealand. she is such an awesome actor. definitely reason enough to watch i don't feel at home in this world anymore.
she has made soooooooo many movies that i have never seen. like 20+ movies.
― scott seward, Thursday, 1 June 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
she was in Up in the Air lol
yeah she's the best. i'll watch that movie

'tramps' is vv good; directed by adam leon who made gimme the loot

thanks for the heads up! Loved Gimme the Loot
― Number None, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link
aye, the same - that was a good movie was that.
― calzino, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
One of the best things about it was its brevity and it seems the new one is only 82 minutes as well
more short movies imo
― Number None, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link
it seems very long since I watched it, but I remember at the time thinking the world would be better with more movies like it.
― calzino, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
yup otm. the way i discovered tramps existed was by seeing gimme the loot on my shelf & being like what has that dude been up to
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:58 (six years ago) link
Cannabis (six-episode French Series from 2016) wants to be The Wire minus cops and almost gets there. Bonus points for setting the action in France, Spain, and Morocco and for having a few strong female characters to offset feuding drug dealers of varying levels of power, ambition, and vileness. Well worth the time if you're not bothered by dialogue in French and Spanish with English subtitles. Très violent, très dur.

That sounds interesting, will watch

Weird- I totally forgot she was in 2 and a Half Men too, and I used to watch that show. For me her filmography basically begins with "Happy Christmas" and ends with "Putzel" - she's great in both.

Wow, Get Me Roger Stone -- did not expect this to be so good

i've never been a big sarah silverman fan but the new one is a lot more thoughtful than i've ever seen her before. and it's funnier as a result imo

"Bad Company" - 1972 revisionist Western starring a young Jeff Bridges is up on Netflix atm. Definitely worth a watch
― Well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 11:53 (six years ago) link
So been watching The Keepers - terrifying.
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 21:58 (six years ago) link
don't watch War On Everyone, it's terrible. like a long episode of Police Squad directed by Quentin Tarantino. it actually made me cringe for the director and i was only able to watch about half an hour of it. young bro dudes might like it though.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 18:53 (six years ago) link
there is ANOTHER Sundance-y Melanie Lynskey movie on now. from 2016. Little Boxes. but i don't feel like watching it.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 18:55 (six years ago) link
you guys still haven't watched The Overnight, right? i know, you're busy. Comey Day coming and all. you gotta get ready...
― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 18:57 (six years ago) link
I watched it a while back. It was ok
― Number None, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 19:09 (six years ago) link
Keepers is good though deeply depressing
― tylerw, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link
I also watched The Overnight awhile back and it was thoroughly enjoyable
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 June 2017 19:18 (six years ago) link
I was expecting a depressing murder mystery, was not expecting the full extent of it. But there are some very strong survivors and believers in people that we meet in that show
― Never changed username before (cardamon), Wednesday, 7 June 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link
About the keepers that is

wanna re-up Hasan Minahj's Netflix special as it was very funny and sincere, anyone see it?
― Unchanging Window (Ross), Wednesday, 7 June 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
I thought it was great. Excellent storytelling, just the right amount of sentiment.

Can anybody recommend some good horror films? They've added a few, but I'm not familiar with them and the new rating system doesn't work so hot for horror films, where OK ones get overrated and good-bad ones often get rated worse than bad-bad ones.
These all caught my eye:
Under The ShadowsThe InvitationThe SimilarsThe PresenceThe Disappointment Room
I'm kinda picky but I've been lucky to watch some good ones lately, most but not all on Netflix: It Follows, Hush, Green Room, Crimson Peak, The Boy (which critics hated but was so much dumb fun)
― Evan R, Monday, 12 June 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
i've heard nothing but good things about under the shadow. the invitation is extremely divisive for some reason but it's prob my favorite film of the past few years, horror or otherwise
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 12 June 2017 21:37 (six years ago) link
oh wow that is a hell of a recommendation! i'll move that one to the top of the queue
― Evan R, Monday, 12 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
it touches on a lot of things that are really resonant for me (the total consuming and distorting nature of grief for instance) and it's beautifully shot
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 12 June 2017 21:51 (six years ago) link
the invitation is worth seeing, imo, not really a 'horror' movie tho per se (part of it's appeal)
'don't kill it' was also pretty fun, but not on netflix
'he never died' was ok -- some ppl rated henry rollins' performance but i thought it was kinda whatever
i really want to watch 'the green room' again, the whole experience of seeing it with only a one-sentence plot setup (i very deliberately avoid trailers for horror/thriller movies) was so fucking great. it's one of the few movies i've seen in recent years that instantly made me want to watch it with someone else who's totally naive to it, just to see them react to it
