I thought the first season of the sinner was fantastic!

I got rid of my account for a few years and now that I'm back it's fucking to find anything. Netflix seems to think all I care about are superhero shows.

so not netflix, but just became available on amazon prime, and I am only bringing it up because of my pure astonishment on how unlikeable two very likeable actors are in this movie...but holy crap Destination Wedding was really, really bad.

Decided to try ep 3. Sabrina's constant wokeness is beginning to wear me down.

Yep

yeah sure its big enough

I'm excited to watch those. The first four were great, but when it ended I was like "why'd they stop right before getting to..." basically everything in the new eps.
haha yeah. I started on the new season with the Southern ep, which does not disappoint

just really well researched, great interview subjects, occasionally incredible footage

glad Hop Hop Evolution got a second batch of episodes, prob their best documentary (Wild Wild Country being the only real competition imo)
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 19:44 (five years ago) link
I haven't seen that one yet. Although tbf I think even appearing on screen counts as "mentioned"
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link
watched all the rest last night, so great. re: the Coup seems to me like they didn't get brought up because of the time-period in question. I mean, all of these recent eps basically cut off around '93 or so, at which point the Coup was just getting started. But that's also why the Southern episode doesn't get into Dungeon Family or Timbaland/Missy, NY ep doesn't get into Jay-Z, etc. I have no complaints about the overall timelines and scope, they tended to hit all the right points and major players.

can i recommend the Kindergarten Teacher again? you all are sleeping on that if you haven't seen it. I think it's Gyllenhallialllyghal's best performance yet
― akm, Thursday, 1 November 2018 05:46 (five years ago) link
Salt Fat Acid Heat is enjoyable because Samin Nosrat is very charming and a good person to have in your living room for 40 minutes. The divisions are a bit random by episode three and I guess we've already heard almost everything a westerner has to say about Japanese food from David Chang et al but whatever.
Italy is incredibly beautiful in it.
― brokenshire (jed_), Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:20 (five years ago) link
Watched The Kindergarten Teacher today and it was moving, and creepy, and just odd. I really liked it. That the poetry is actually good (ymmv) really makes the movie. The Gyllenhaals sure pick interesting projects.
― DJI, Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:34 (five years ago) link
Damn, that's not on UK Netflix.
― brokenshire (jed_), Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link
Seconded, Kindergarten Teacher is ace.

(Thanks, akm!)
― DJI, Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link
The poetry was apparently written by a bunch of hip young poets my wife is familiar with.
― dan selzer, Friday, 2 November 2018 13:34 (five years ago) link
Shirkers is excellent.

Anyone who uses as much salt as Samin Nosrat uses in her show is going to heave a heart attack.
― brokenshire (jed_), Saturday, 3 November 2018 02:05 (five years ago) link
no, they probably won't

I don't know if this thread doubles as a catchall for other streaming services, but Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here is on Amazon Prime now.
― WmC, Monday, 5 November 2018 02:38 (five years ago) link
And BPM is on Hulu, I see.
― WmC, Monday, 5 November 2018 02:40 (five years ago) link
BPM is also on Kanopy for free.
― Sing The Mighty Beat (sic), Monday, 5 November 2018 02:49 (five years ago) link
My local library is too crappy for Kanopy, unfortunately.

aw! FYI for thread tho

I assigned BPM in my film class, and it was on Kanopy last week. Better be now! Papers due tomorrow.

this is prime and not netflix, but i can’t see a thread so i’m putting it here: homecoming is the best tv drama i’ve seen in years

Thanks! We got through about 5 minutes last night and she said it was freaking her out. We went ended up watching the first two episodes of Hilda (which we both loved).
If you've also got Amazon you should totally watch Gortimer Gibbons with her - amazing kids show.
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 11:12 (five years ago) link
Hilda is really wonderful
― Greta Van Fleek (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 15:26 (five years ago) link
I'm enjoying homecoming. I like the long drawn out endings.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 21:19 (five years ago) link
the cinematography is breathtaking. the whole series is properly a work of art.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 08:42 (five years ago) link
There are a couple of bits which struck me as very 'Breaking Bad' - though,, of course, Breaking Bad probably wasn't the first show to show the life cycle of drugs as they're manufacturing.
The deflated endings kind of reminded me of some of the stuff Lynch did in the new TP.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:18 (five years ago) link
yes! a lot of this show felt like the new twin peaks, especially the super-subtle camerawork/effects/focus techniques when things happened changed (especially one highly specific scene which i won’t mention here but is near the end of episode 8)
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:27 (five years ago) link
also i think the presence of julia roberts might have turned off a lot of people, but she’s actually really great and this is in no way a typical julia roberts vehicle
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:29 (five years ago) link
(as in, it’s not a cheesy romcom or a light drama)
The schlubby investigator without much personality is awesome.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:30 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Roberts - she's pretty good at kind-of-crying, holding it in, but other than that.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:33 (five years ago) link
I don't dislike her.
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 09:34 (five years ago) link
yeah, she’s definitely not the best performer but she still does a fine job, and her casting plays with the audience in a way they couldn’t have done with most other people in that role
