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.

Jeff, Thursday, 1 June 2017 14:25 (six years ago) link

I'm just waiting for some dinosaurs to show up.

Jeff, Thursday, 1 June 2017 14:26 (six years ago) link

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

Nhex, Thursday, 1 June 2017 15:51 (six years ago) link

'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.

Brad C., Thursday, 1 June 2017 22:16 (six years ago) link

That sounds interesting, will watch

Never changed username before (cardamon), Thursday, 1 June 2017 23:18 (six years ago) link

the comments on that show are... interestign

totally forgot that melanie lynskey was in heavenly creatures and played rose on 2 & a half men and is from new zealand

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

Dominique, Saturday, 3 June 2017 01:22 (six years ago) link

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

yeah it was...not good

jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 7 June 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link

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.

trishyb, Thursday, 8 June 2017 07:35 (six years ago) link

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 Shadows
The Invitation
The Similars
The Presence
The 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

gbx, Monday, 12 June 2017 21:59 (six years ago) link

has anyone seen "the devil's candy"? it's on my amazon watchlist

gbx, Monday, 12 June 2017 22:00 (six years ago) link

Under the Shadows is GREAT

dan selzer, Monday, 12 June 2017 23:30 (six years ago) link

Going to watch tonight

Pacific Rim AND Gravity have been added!! If I had a giant-ass TV I would be all over those

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link

oh, hello on broadway

Mordy, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:12 (six years ago) link

did anyone watch that new backwards caper movie yet? netflix exclusive? wait, i'll find the name....

Shimmer Lake! looks like it might be cool....

scott seward, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link

Riverdale, while it couldn't be mistaken for good, is entertaining background TV

rb (soda), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link

I loved it

or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link

Would not have gone within 1000 yards of it if not for this thread though

or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link

riverdale is so too good soda how dare u

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:35 (six years ago) link

It makes me want CSI: Stars Hollow

rb (soda), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link

ooh yes

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:45 (six years ago) link

Luke Perry and Skeet Ulrich and Madchen Amick were so good

I really like the Betty actress too
