Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

that's OTM, i don't know about you but every single day i find one of those little mini animal erasers lying around the house. xp

Some of my friends think I am crazy because I will deliberate for weeks over buying anything non-consumable no matter if it's only $5 or something. I have to envision how I will use it where I will put it, do I have something like it already, do I think I will toss it the next time I move. It drives me crazy when I go over to a friends' house and they have such nice or expensive things and they keep wanting more but it's so cluttered and dusty that it's like, what's the point.

every time i take the kid to Trader Joe's they ask him, "hey you want some stickers??" and of course he says yes and later i have to surreptitiously toss them in the bin.

she would have a field day with the number of books and LPs in this house. I'm trying, Marie!

lol omar we share the same problems

I am down to 2 white cubes of books and 3 of LPs.

put the stickers on things, don't toss them

or give them to a children's hospital?

This is kind of shady but a couple of years ago we got these super cool metallic kiddie tattoos for my nieces for us to do for when i visited. They totally ended up strewn about on the floor. Like the third time we picked them up my spouse was so annoyed he just kept them. I still have a couple that I break out on occasion.

yeah for sure. it's not nearly as confrontational or as dark as Hoarders, and she's like a magic elf woman who comes in and inspires people Jiminy Cricket-style to like get over the physical/mental baggage

everyone sold me on You and it might be the “cringe and yell noooooo” show i have been looking for

I'm on epi 6 or 7 of You. Even all of the living in NY details are so bonkers.

I've only dipped into the Kondo book, but it has some unusual stories about how when she was a girl at school she would daydream about what she would throw out when she got home, the way most people would daydream about something new they wanted to buy. Not sure if she was being entirely serious.

She’s Shinto-adjacent, so I kind of think... she might be?

i'd be more interested in someone that went round very tidy houses and helped ppl work through their issues with control

Have any UK/Ireland posters been watching Sunderland 'Til I Die?

can the lady on you pls just get one (1) set of curtains

I want to see a show where people sneak into the homes of neat freaks and mess things up, then wait for their reaction.

My neighbor is nice but is also a self-professed neat freak. I have seen him sweeping the street before. Like, literally in the street, sweeping. I once saw him sweeping the trees in his backyard. Yes, the trees. His house always looks like it has been staged for a showing, and his trash bins in the back yard are always parallel and perfectly lined up. He gardens at night with a headlamp on. He would be a great candidate.

Just finished up the third (and presumably final) season of El Chapo. The first two seasons were pretty good, this one was, eh, alright. I mean there probably wasn't a way around this but the second half of the season were just Chapo prison episodes, then Chapo on the run, getting raided, escaping through a tunnel, over and over and over again. The actor who played Chapo looked like he was wearing a pillow under his shirt the last few episodes. Also the American agent who plays the DEA agent was one of the worst actors I've ever seen in a drama like this.

xpost, none of these things your neighbor does seems weird!

I watched the first episode of Tidying Up, and it was all weirdly vague. It didn't seem like they really did much. Also, the family was horrible, it would've been more satisfying if she just burned their house down.

I think they led off with the absolute worst couple to pull you in because the other ones I saw everyone else was fine.

I am a little scared to watch that Marie Kondo show.

One of the things she said in her book is that as a child she would sometime throw out family members' belongings without asking. In the book she says how wrong she now realizes that is. But of course she would say that, wouldn't she.

I am with her. My entire life, whenever something goes missing, 40% of the time it's because I've sneakily gotten rid of it. I am better about it now.

I live with a thrower-outer and let me tell you it's a struggle

I can’t think of a single thing I’ve thrown out that I (really) regret. But SO much of what I keep is ... totally useless.

well this doesn't look great

ok, this is my favourite post of all time.

xpost lol I had the opposite reaction. Killer art + Jake Gyllenhaal doing a goofy voice is exactly the kind of trash I live for.

i could do with a smart, pulpy/trashy sendup of the art world, why do the paintings have to come alive :/

The thing that gets me about this Tidying Up show is that their house was not horrifically cluttered, just kind of normal cluttered, yet even with the help of poor Marie Kondo, who had to smile through all of their entitled bullshit, it still took weeks for them to fold up a bunch of clothes and organize their kitchen drawers. I don't see how this couldn't get done over the course of a weekend.

the spoiler-averse should probably avoid that trailer, sheesh xps

Seriously. I was intrigued but regret watching it.

xpost That's what I'm saying! These aren't hoarders with piles of newspapers, these are just people who need to clean their fucking rooms, like little kids.

OTOH, I'm intrigued by the glimpses we get of her methods, but also frustrated that they don't go into more detail. It just feels like a teaser for the book rather than a something meant to stand on it's own and educate.

I am not a fan of her vertical envelope folding except for underwear. I basically fold everything like I live in a boutique.

It is nice to be able to see the edges of every shirt in the drawer, but I don't think it actually saves any space or anything.

counterpoint: most of those things are pretty weird but also extremely sweet

Also everyone should have a headlamp. They are so great. I have two. One to carry in my purse/bag at all times and one for the house.

rolling>>>>>folding

agreed a headlamp is a good thing

do you anticipate delivering a baby during a power outage idgi

things I've used my headlamp for recently: power outage while I was rolling out fresh pasta, changing battery in smoke detector on a ladder, helping someone with battery trouble in parking garage, got lost while taking a shortcut through vineyards/dirtroads at night, looking in someone's ear. I also have a fear of having to walk through the subway tunnels in case the subway breaks down or down flights of dark stairs in tall buildings during emergencies.

Oh and camping.

It’s totally shallow, but I hated the fact they called each othe ‘babe’. Plus I got the impression that their problems were more complicated than the clutter.

It's not shallow. It was the first thing that made me hate that couple. Some article I was reading was pointing out how she said it so passive aggressively.

ok, was going to be disappointed in “You” if it didn’t do certain things and I’m and the end now and the endorsement is in

My wife also commented negatively on the babe thing, also the fact that she taught her kids to refer to nursing as "boobies".

Just noticed that the amazing Senna documentary is now up - check it out, even if you're not into Formula 1

been watching You and have to keep stopping it. not cos it's bad but because hard for me to watch someone get stalked so aggressively.

somewhat tired of the people differentiating him from Dexter ("well Dexter had a CODE!") because people seem to think that 'code' made Dexter not a monster when he absolutely was one. Just like Joe on this show.

Also the comments on the FB page of the show is full of people romanticizing Joe which is...all kinds of wrong.

but it's well done so I'll keep watching.

Badgley has actually taken to Twitter to respond to fans to tell them to stop seeing his character as a "good" guy.

they literally spell out the intended premise in a late-season episode! I was kind of appreciative of the moment because you've gotta spoonfeed your audience sometimes
