is that on netflix in some places?

Sorry, no, it was mentioned upthread but think it's on Amazon Prime; also bbc for Britishers
― kinder, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 21:53 (five years ago) link
it's on FX in the US.
― akm, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 22:30 (five years ago) link
it's on hulu in US, not on prime/netflix

Only if you have hulu + live TV
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 02:32 (five years ago) link
right. Which I'm arguing for! I just cut the cable and here's the breakdown for anyone considering doing the same:Hulu + Live TV with no ads + 200 hour Cloud DVR is $61; this covers basic cable pretty neatlyStandard Netflix is $12HBO is $15, Showtime is $11Prime Membership is $120 a yearMubi is $100 a yearCriterion is $100 a yearKanopy is free, as is PBSHi speed internet is about $70 monthly$250 gets you a reasonable smart tv to watch it all on via an ethernet connection. I'm pretty happy so far.

We cut the cord last year. Was paying over £70 a month with Sky for Broadband but now paying £30 a month with BT for Super Fast Fibre plus BT Sport.Bought a Freesat box to cover the record/pause live TV option and already had Netflix/Prime.Anything else is via internet.

Just finished Dead to Me. It was fucking fantastic. Hope it's just 1 season though. Roles of a lifetime for the two leads.

I only have had netflix and prime for the last couple of years. I pay for student prime that they gave me ($59?) because they seem to think I am a student because I used to ship things to university addresses.
I haven't paid for cable since i was in college. The internet served every purpose.

‘Always be my maybe’ was fun for a romcom and features Keanu Reeves getting punched in the face. Fun for all the family.

A ''what's your streaming setup?" thread would be great. Or do we already have that somewhere?
― Position Position, Saturday, 1 June 2019 01:26 (four years ago) link
Keanu was a gd delight in that movie.
(there was a weird amount of screentime for that Nest thermostat though.)

I've been watching The Society, halfway through and I still can't tell most people apart. I laugh every time my spouse identifies one as Clark or Grizz. I don't like this Corey Feldman/tall Jonathan Lipnicki looking mofo though.
― Yerac, Saturday, 1 June 2019 20:58 (four years ago) link
omg ok keanu was awesome & the fight was hysterical. really love this movie, ali & randall are great
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 1 June 2019 21:35 (four years ago) link
It was a fun film, and I liked the songs very much.
― trishyb, Saturday, 1 June 2019 22:24 (four years ago) link
yeah those Hello Peril songs were really decent. Love the Keanu song
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 1 June 2019 22:54 (four years ago) link
I was entirely too happy during the entire Keanu arc in the movie.

Watched ABMM last night. Are you guys serious? That was the most lazily-written movie I've seen in a long time and I just saw John Wick 3. The whole band subplot was stupid (they only play at one bar on one side of SF? They play multiple times per week and their friends show up for every show?), and their music was weak. Keanu was the only good thing in the movie (and he was hilarious), but he couldn't save it.
― DJI, Sunday, 2 June 2019 15:58 (four years ago) link
I mean it follows a basic rom-com outline but there were some definite fresh things in it and some pretty tight jokes. I didn't realize I had been missing all the asian parent trope jokes all my life.
― Yerac, Sunday, 2 June 2019 16:38 (four years ago) link
Also liked it as credibly the last vestiage of middle-class life in San Francisco.

Just watched The Endless. Kind of like a really effective Blair Witch with kind of M N Shyamalan nonsense, but like the total opposite of how bad that sounds. By which I mean it's good and I liked it. The lens distortion effects really unsettled me.

moorhead and benson are supposed to be coming out with a film with a budget shortly; feel like they'll be given a franchise shot before too very long. Would love to see them do any of marvel's "horror" line... maybe Dr. Morbius or Daimon Hellstrom

Lucifer is pleasant background viewing.

It’s from the producer of Californication and feels like they flipped the main character from a boozing writer to the actual devil, lost some of the more troublesome sexual dynamics in the transition to broadcast tv, and somehow made the central plot device a buddy cop drama

What We Do In The Shadows - omg. Watched the first two episodes last night and was in stitches. Creepy paper.

have you seen the film?
(i tried a few months ago when it was on, didn't get on with it. need to have another go...)
― koogs, Monday, 3 June 2019 10:32 (four years ago) link
No, not yet.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 3 June 2019 10:49 (four years ago) link
I loved the film as well but think it's better suited to tv format
― kinder, Monday, 3 June 2019 11:32 (four years ago) link
I enjoyed the Lucifer show when it was being broadcast but the liberation it seems to have felt with the Netflix transfer was tremendous.

Saw both Always Be My Maybe and When They See Us this weekend. WTSU was harrowing as expected.

Always Be My Maybe total standard romcom didn't go in expecting much but it went well with margaritas and blunts saturday evening . like everyone said keanu scenes were pretty funny

My spouse got weep at the end of ABMM and for the life of me I can't remember what was sad about it.

Nothing!
It's a perfectly enjoyable movie. Really good to see Randall Park again and I really liked the dynamic he had with his dad. Of course the band shit didn't make sense, movies like this never get those things right. But I found the music (which I think was all by Dan the Automator....who is having a weekend, having also done Booksmart which just came out [and is a better movie]) fun. The most annoying thing was that the whole thing wasn't filmed in SF so a few things were totally incongruous and made no sense; that house is not in SF, no way. And there was one street scene where the buses in the back were absolutely not MUNI.

Also I assume that Uber and Google/Nest put some money into this.
Ali Wong's spectacle and metallic dress game was on point.
― Yerac, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:43 (four years ago) link
xpost Weird, perusing the web I literally just saw an article about the movie being a love letter to SF that gets everything right.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:44 (four years ago) link
Didn't read this, just saw the headline:
https://themuse.jezebel.com/always-be-my-maybe-is-a-flawlessly-executed-love-letter-1835184309
"Always Be My Maybe Is a Flawlessly Executed Love Letter to the Bay Area"
watched it last night. Thought it was cute enough and enjoyed watching it but didn't find it very funny, like lol jokes funny outside of a few here and there. I did comment to wife that it almost made San Francisco look like a city I'd like to spend more time in, which isn't easy to do.
― dan selzer, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:48 (four years ago) link
I wanted to like it given that I like (p much) everybody in it, but it was just terrible, DJI otm.
also lol akm I too spotted those buses and was like "well, wherever they are, they are not in SF"
Zero bags of popcorn.

I believe I have seen every netflix romcom. I put it firmly in the top 3.

was partly filmed in vancouver.
most publicity I've seen for a movie in a while. as in instagram ads, bus stop ads, tv ads. always worrying when the jokes in the trailer aren't funny.

I go by rewatchability and the charisma of actors so it would currently be To All the Boys, Someone Great and the above. I was not a huge fan of the Xmas Prince movies everyone rewatched into oblivion or Set It Up. I thought that Rebel Wilson movie was a netflix thing but it's not. That was pretty disappointing. Kissing Booth was saved by one super hot actor.
