I just cant believe those parents agreed to go on camera and air out their complete ineptitude and idiocy

Abducted in Plain Sight - I’m literally only 30% of the way thru and this is already the most bonkers and gross story I’ve ever heard

It was so nuts. I know it was a different time then and I think they mentioned very briefly at some point that they were all LDS but my God those parents were fucking idiots.

just watched the school dance episode and at the end said "damn this is one really fantastic tv show"

I see a sliver of a way Russian Doll could go for a S2, but tbqh I'm not sure I like any of the potential options. Perfect as is.

very good use of chloe sevigny
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Saturday, 2 February 2019 07:55 (five years ago) link
also metatextually fascinating to see Sevigny as Lyonne's mother

russian doll amazing. natasha lyonne deserves many awards.

love Russian Doll! mr Veg watched 2 eps and was underwhelmed “she’s dumb and she says stupid shit” ... more bingeing for me!!

and i love Brendan Sexton III

I liked Russian Doll a lot though Netflix and its UI kinda stepped on the final shot
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Sunday, 3 February 2019 06:04 (five years ago) link
Lyonne is a great example of someone with no range but a fantastic presence just doing her thing
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Sunday, 3 February 2019 06:05 (five years ago) link
that is v wrongheaded to me but ok
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 3 February 2019 06:19 (five years ago) link
I agree with that. I disagree with "she’s dumb and she says stupid shit" though. She says a lot of great shit in this show! off the top of my head I can't remember any of it but I was consistently amazed by some of her lines last night while I watched this high as fuck.
― akm, Sunday, 3 February 2019 06:42 (five years ago) link
i fkn love Natasha, i have loved her since Detroit Rock City and I want to hi five her for boning down with Edward Furlong before he spiralled idk why mr veg had such a bee in his bonnet abt her character tho. *shrug*

natasha lyonne is the goat, can't wait to see this show
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 February 2019 16:11 (five years ago) link
she was good on Orange is the New Black before I gave up watching that show (not because of her, it just got boring)
― akm, Sunday, 3 February 2019 16:23 (five years ago) link
She's been a consistent bright spot in OITNB, but she's only on the show in waves.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 3 February 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link
she is Natasha turned up to 11 in Russian Dolls - ie fkn magic my favorite line “I’m like if Andrew Dice Clay and the little girl from Brave had a baby”

So I've been to the cinema about 3 times in the past 4 years (babies) and there are definitely a few mainstream films I'd like to see that normally would be 'at the video shop' by now (we do actually have a decent local one but it's now a pain to get to) but none of them are streaming on Netflix! I appreciate it's allowed loads of decent TV to be made but I also want it to replace regular DVD rental places as it was SUPPOSED TO DO. Stuff like "I, Tonya" and "Moneyball". I can't be arsed paying for two subscription services or having to spend time searching to see which service has which movies (increasingly difficult to do). Do I need to switch to Amazon Prime?
― kinder, Monday, 4 February 2019 10:46 (five years ago) link
In the UK at least, neither Prime or Netflix have many recent movies. There's the odd one but most appear on Sky's subscription Movies packages first.
Prime will have (some) newer movies but they won't be included in your subscription and you'll have to pay extra to "rent" them so I guess that's closer to the traditional video shop model.
― groovypanda, Monday, 4 February 2019 12:45 (five years ago) link
In the UK, these people still offer a DVD rental service by post, I guess including new releases:

kinder - you might want to try your library? ours seems to get everything, and makes it easy with holds. interlibrary loan for more obscure and older titles.

ahh thanks! I had actually clocked dvds in our local library, made a mental note and promptly forgot. you've made my day!

another big vote for Russian Doll here; do we have a thread yet?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 4 February 2019 14:53 (five years ago) link
finished it last night - pretty good, held my interest at least even though it didn't turn out to be much more than a riff on Groundhog Day (frankly I thought it was a little weird that this was never acknowledged/directly referenced). Lyonne is great, even if she does tend to chew the scenery she is a lot of fun to watch, and the rest of the cast was very solid too. also nice that, like Maniac, it hinged on a relationship that was deeply empathetic but essentially non-romantic.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 4 February 2019 16:41 (five years ago) link
When I can’t find something streaming I’ve rented a movie through iTunes - do people not do this anymore? I did feel kind of old when I did it last week... Russian Doll is so good. I watched it all last night and am so tired - but invigorated by good tv! - right now. Clever writing, top-notch casting, just enough creepiness just enough NYC 30something normalcy.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 4 February 2019 16:48 (five years ago) link
oh man, i think the groundhog day comparison is only skin deep. totally different themes, conclusions, ideas at play. love the video game theory explanations as to how THE EVENT is working. Satisfying ending.
