Fastest Car is okay but they have a very different definition of sleeper car than what I grew up with. If you've got a visible blower or drag radials you're not exactly fooling anyone. Would have been cool to see more variety than a quarter mile drag - put a supercar and a Mazda LS swap on a road track and see what happens.

SPOILER ALERT:
Features a woman who worked for him talking about being drugged and raped by him, covers the homicide of a man who poisoned McAfees dogs and who McAfee likely had killed in retribution

@YeracI'm abt to finish Money Heist part 2, I'm also loving it despite its absurdity. When I'm done I hope we can talk about it!!!!

Are you watching it dubbed? The translations are so off from what they are saying dubbed. The whole thing is ridiculous but we loved it.

It's Amazon Prime, but "What We Do in the Shadows" is recommended for "Flight of the Conchords" fans who don't mind their humor a bit dark.

two things about FASTEST CAR:
1) can't believe they went with FASTEST CAR as a title instead of VROOM VROOM CAR GO FAST

Prime again (in the UK anyway) but has anyone watched The Looming Tower?
Seems to be getting quite good reviews
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 07:45 (six years ago) link
It is absolute piffle + isn't really a good representation of the book imo. It's very jingoistic and has too many shots of Jeff Daniels saggy old arse pumping away. Although I think the book was also guilty of trying to canonise John O'Neil, but at least it tried to be broad minded.
― calzino, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 08:00 (six years ago) link
I've had Prime for a 6-month cheaparse deal, and the only thing on it worth watching, in Australia at least, was Fleabag. Just as I'm about to bin it, The Terror pops up. Any good?
― Mince Pramthwart (James Morrison), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 08:28 (six years ago) link
Loved the book. Three episodes or so into the series and very good so far.

how did they work the arse pumping into a pre-9-11 procedural show, exactly?
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 10:35 (six years ago) link
His character is a lothario with catholic guilt issues. There is one unintentionally hilarious saggy arse pumping scene where he breaks down into tears after the climax, like to show what a deep thinking man of substance he is. Well I lolled loud at it, but ymmv as they say!

i gave up on looming tower. it was strangely tedious. and also hammy in an old time t.v. movie kinda way.

watched that christina tosi episode of chef's table and there is the part where they show her jogging and i went: ahhh, okay.
because really i was like what the hell is she just some sort of genetic freak? but she probably burns calories just THINKING of lucky charms cookie recipes. she's a way motivated type a never stop kinda person. wonder how many hours a night she sleeps?
all these people just make me feel like such a slug. i get really motivated when i watch an episode to get to work the next day and give it 125% and live my bliss but then the reality is me getting to work really early and going on the internet for 2 hours and not wanting to vacuum...
― scott seward, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 15:14 (six years ago) link
she is awesome though. or seems to be. i would need to read interviews with her vast army of sugar chefs. she SEEMS really nice. so does the gelato king in the 2nd episode. he inspired me for 5 minutes too. really wanted to try all this gelato...
― scott seward, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 15:16 (six years ago) link
i was really happy when christina joined the cast of master chef. love hearing her talk about food and being nice. graham was nice too but she is just so upbeat in a good way.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 15:17 (six years ago) link
i haven't watched any food shows forever, been kind of holding off until i can binge and have my kitchen tidied up so i can cook one big meal myself afterward to feel productive
made it to milk bar last year and ended up getting cookies to bring home as gifts

it would have actually made more sense to me if the granita was on an oyster shell with some oyster on top. on ice. presentation-wise. then you could just slurp it down and get oyster + almond iciness. which....might not be bad? i was totally down with the idea of brioche and granita for breakfast though.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 20:15 (six years ago) link
see, something like this makes more sense. even though i don't want to eat it.

Anyone watching Aggretsuko, the Japanese anime about a red panda who's stuck in a dead-end office job by day and is a death metal karaoke singer by night? Feels tailor made for ilxors tbh.
Only two episodes in and I love it already. Really nails the drudgery and pathos of corporate life - shitty boss, annoying co-workers and all.

^^^ I watched 3 episodes last night. Love it. The subtitles are so off from what is being dubbed though, it's funny.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 12:56 (six years ago) link
I need to check that out after I get through "lost in space" w/ Parker Posey as evil Dr. Smith, which I'm enjoying thoroughly.

― Roz, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 13:51 (six years ago) link
i watched the first ep of that last night on my brother's recommendation. he sold it as "it's about heavy metal" and i was like "is it like metalocalypse?" and he said "close enough" but it's really nothing like it but that's fine bc it's really good anyway.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 13:57 (six years ago) link
It's Sanrio! I am now realizing that not everyone watches netflix with the closed captioning on (I do because we get a lot of random street noise and I exercise while watching stuff). The lyrics are pretty much right but 60% of the dialogue is off. I can't explain it. Watch one episode with closed captioning on.
Finished all Chef's Table Pastry. If the last episode hadn't been set in Bali it would've been a dud. I couldn't stand that guy.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:05 (six years ago) link
Money Heist also had that problem of the dubbed dialogue not matching the closed captioning at all.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:06 (six years ago) link
oh you're talking about closed-captioning, sorry i thought you meant the translations were off. I watch it in Japanese with English subs.
― Roz, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link
I am watching it dubbed in English with the english subtitles on (I guess subtitles would be the right since it's controlled fromthe netflix subtitle menu). It definitely does not match. The english dub is much smoother.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:21 (six years ago) link
xpost Yerac i thought the same thing abt the Bali guy! “If you’re not using REAL chcolate you should quit being a pastry chef.” Ugh.Pretty sure the reason he’s holed up in Bali is because everyone hates him. He came off as a total choad.
