Streaming Recommendation/Currently Watching Thread

[Bert]

Well, this might be a bad idea because I'm aware of how many non-Americans/Canadians are on this board but it seems like there might be enough people that use Netflix that it maybe warrants it's own thread.

Plus, I get tired of spamming the VIP thread talking about every new release. :cool:

I'm not sure what the difference is between the American/Canadian librarys that Netflix has so if I post something and you Canadians don't have it, sorry.

Maybe one of you could work on an Canadian list. :dunno:

If you have any TV Shows/Movies to add to the list please go ahead. I welcome the help. :yes:

http://blog.netflix.com/2011/09/explanation-and-some-reflections.html

So I just found out that Netflix is branching into two companies and the DVD by mail company is being renamed to Qwikster. At least they will finally have Video Games.

Website: http://www.qwikster.com/

Quote from Netflix blog:


Many members love our DVD service, as I do, because nearly every movie ever made is published on DVD, plus lots of TV series. We want to advertise the breadth of our incredible DVD offering so that as many people as possible know it still exists, and it is a great option for those who want the huge and comprehensive selection on DVD. DVD by mail may not last forever, but we want it to last as long as possible.

I also love our streaming service because it is integrated into my TV, and I can watch anytime I want. The benefits of our streaming service are really quite different from the benefits of DVD by mail. We feel we need to focus on rapid improvement as streaming technology and the market evolve, without having to maintain compatibility with our DVD by mail service.

So we realized that streaming and DVD by mail are becoming two quite different businesses, with very different cost structures, different benefits that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently. It’s hard for me to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary and best: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to “Qwikster”.

We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name “Netflix” for streaming.

Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, and now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. Another advantage of separate websites is simplicity for our members. Each website will be focused on just one thing (DVDs or streaming) and will be even easier to use. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated. So if you subscribe to both services, and if you need to change your credit card or email address, you would need to do it in two places. Similarly, if you rate or review a movie on Qwikster, it doesn’t show up on Netflix, and vice-versa.

There are no pricing changes (we’re done with that!). Members who subscribe to both services will have two entries on their credit card statements, one for Qwikster and one for Netflix. The total will be the same as the current charges.

We will let you know in a few weeks when the Qwikster.com website is up and ready. It is merely a renamed version of the Netflix DVD website, but with the addition of video games. You won’t have to do anything special if you subscribe to our DVD by mail service.

For me the Netflix red envelope has always been a source of joy. The new envelope is still that distinctive red, but now it will have a Qwikster logo. I know that logo will grow on me over time, but still, it is hard. I imagine it will be the same for many of you. We’ll also return to marketing our DVD by mail service, with its amazing selection, now with the Qwikster brand.

Some members will likely feel that we shouldn’t split the businesses, and that we shouldn’t rename our DVD by mail service. Our view is with this split of the businesses, we will be better at streaming, and we will be better at DVD by mail. It is possible we are moving too fast – it is hard to say. But going forward, Qwikster will continue to run the best DVD by mail service ever, throughout the United States. Netflix will offer the best streaming service for TV shows and movies, hopefully on a global basis. The additional streaming content we have coming in the next few months is substantial, and we are always working to improve our service further.

I want to acknowledge and thank our many members that stuck with us, and to apologize again to those members, both current and former, who felt we treated them thoughtlessly.

Both the Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust. We know it will not be overnight. Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.

[Cewsh]

Yep.

Its actually terrific news, since the DVD business is going to plummet for various reasons and now they'll devote more resources to the streaming, which is all i'd ever use anyway.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I think this is actually a great idea. I really only use the Netflix streaming service, and it was always frustrating to be looking for a certain show, movie, or wrestling event,a nd finding out they had it, but only as a DVD rental.

Since it seems the companies are still affiliated ownership-wise, part of me thinks that actually won't be occurring, as to keep business stronger for the DVD by Mail service, but eventually that will probably fade out and the focus will begin shifting even more to the stream service.

[Kdestiny]

Seems like a good idea to me as well.

Thanks to Bert's list, I have a lot more I need to start watching... I need more time first.

[Jacknife]

I just cancelled my Netflix. I'm thinking of trying out Amazon Prime, since they have streaming as well. It's cheaper in the long run than Netflix.

[virms]

I just finally got settled in and added a but load to my instant queue last night.

I am a bit excited about 24 being on there. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD but haven't watched any yet.

[Ochoa]

I have about 30 minutes left of Gone With the Wind. I'd never seen it before. The power is back on and now I shall resume the film.

[Bert]

My Recommended TV Shows
24 (Seasons 1-8)
Jack Bauer is a Counter Terrorist Unit agent who works to prevent terrorist plots. Each Season represents one day in the life of Jack Bauer. Great show. It might start to get a little to over the top for you around Season 7 or so but I'm a completionist so I watched the whole series.

30 Rock (Seasons 1-4)
Tina Fey is the head writer of a fictional sketch comedy show. A really good comedy. Tina Fey is great. I plan on watching Season 5 after it comes to Netflix on the 1st.

Archer (Season 1)
A surprisingly good animated comedy about spies and global espionage.

Arrested Development (Seasons 1-3)
A great comedy that was canceled way too soon. I'm just sad I didn't know about it when it was still airing.

Breaking Bad (Seasons 1-3)
Fantastic drama about a high school science teacher who gets cancer and teams up with an ex-student to make Meth to pay the bills. One of the best TV shows still airing in my opinion.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Seasons 1-7)
I could never get into Angel but Buffy is great. The title is pretty self explanatory.

Dead Like Me (Seasons 1-2)
A show about a girl who dies and becomes a grim reaper. Another show canceled before it's time. Never ever watch the movie though.

Doctor Who (2005) (Seasons 1-5)
The reboot of the classic British series. There's no need to watch any of the earlier stuff to understand what is going on. This is the perfect place to start to be caught up to where they are plot-wise now.

Friday Night Lights (Seasons 1-4)
Must watch TV in my opinion. The sports aspect of it really isn't even the focal point. The focal point is how the players and coaches interact with each other and their families along with their trials and tribulations.

Lie To Me (Seasons 1-2)
Another good show that was canceled before it's time. Tim Roth is a great actor and is mesmerizing as Dr. Cal Lightman a man who can read micro-expressions and tell when someone is lying. Hopefully Netflix gets Season 3 soon.

Party Down (Seasons 1-2)
Another to add to the long list of shows that shouldn't have been canceled. A great comedy about a catering company and the people who work for it.

Parks and Recreation (Seasons 1-2)
A comedy about Leslie Nope and her team at the Parks and Recreation department in a fictional town in Indiana. It has a really great ensemble cast but in my opinion Aziz Ansari's character Tom Haverford, is the best character.

Rescue Me (Seasons 1-5)
A very gritty drama about the personal and professional lives of a group of New York City firefighters. The main character is a self-centered alcoholic who lost his best friend and cousin when he went into the 2nd tower and never came out and who sees his cousin and other lost loved ones as visions when he gets drunk.

Samantha Who? (Seasons 1-2)
A good comedy featuring Christina Applegate. Samantha loses her memory after a hit and run and learns what a horrible person she used to be after waking up from a coma and then sets out on making amends to the people she hurt.

Scrubs (Seasons 1-9)
One of my favorite comedies ever. The show follows a team of doctors as they advance from interns to residents (through the seasons) and the wacky antics they get into. Notable for the main characters often hilarious surreal daydreams.

Sons of Anarchy (Seasons 1-2)
In my opinion a highly underrated drama. I can't think of a good description so I'm stealing Wikipedia's. Sons of Anarchy is about the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, a fictional town in Northern California. The show centers on protagonist Jackson "Jax" Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the Vice President of the club who begins questioning the club and himself.

The Office US (Seasons 1-6)
A comedy that stars Steve Carell in his breakout role as Michael Scott the awkward, weird manager of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company who means well but always seems to get himself into trouble.

Weeds (Seasons 1-5)
A show about a Mom who decides to sell Marijuna after her husband dies, to support her struggling family. It starts out as a comedy but later turns into a 20 minute drama. Many people feel it went downhill after season 4.
I'll do movies later.

[Vice]

Weeds died a hero at the end of season 3. It was beautiful and perfect. They've been Weekend at Bernie's-ing it ever since.

And really, anyone who has not seen Breaking Bad should at least give it a shot. Watch the first 3 episodes and if you're not hooked, I don't know what to say.

[Atty]

Everyone should watch The Universe. Marvelous show.

I also tend to watch a lot of documentaries on Netflix and have even been known to search "nova" and their shows. One of the best bits of Netflix is that it learns what you like and tries to make suggestions based on that. I've ended up with a lot of cool docs that way and other random things I never knew existed.

And Weeds did die at the end of season three. That little show, the show I loved, never came back at all.

[Jimmy Zero]

Atty, there's an excellent documentary about the domesticated dog and the eugenics and selective breeding behind developing breeds. It's really interesting, especially if you're a dog person. I love the huge selection of old PBS and National Geographic shows.

I don't know what I'd do without Instant. My most recent views are Psych, Firefly, Lethal Weapon 2, and Hobo with a Shotgun. HWAS is fucking incredible.

[Tainted Eclipse]

me and a my roommate watched weeds like crazy when we got a wii for netflix, and funny enough we just stopped watching it after the end of season 3 and never had the inclination to watch it further. really did love those 3 seasons though, guess there's not much reason to watch further.

im unduly excited about advent of frasier. one of my favorite shows to mindlessly watch multiple episodes of in a row.

[Jimmy Zero]

I feel like I'm the only person ever who really didn't like anything Weeds had to offer. Well, besides Mary Louise Parker being insanely hot. Kevin Nealon was good, I guess.

[MikeHunt]

i really disliked weeds.

[Bert]

I decided to give Raising Hope a try last night having heard good things about it and I ended up watching 3 episodes.

It's a good show, I like it, it reminds me of My Name Is Earl probably because it's about a poor family but also because it has the same creator.

[Bert]

If you like TLC or Discovery shows I have great news for you.

Good, I can finally finish the first season of Wolverine and the X-Men. It's too bad it got canceled, I liked it.

With Lie To Me Season 3 now added everyone should go watch it. It's a shame that it didn't get a Season 4. :(

[Jimmy Zero]

Does Lie to Me pick up a bit in the first season? I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes and had a really hard time getting into it. If it gets better, though, I'd be willing to stick with it.

[Jimmy Zero]

Walking Dead was just put up. Those of you who haven't seen it, check it out. It's seriously awesome.

I wonder when they are going to add some new Family Guy.

[Kdestiny]

Just started 24, I am liking it so far. The first episode has me very intrigued.

[Bert]

Kevin Smith's first try at a horror movie, Red State, was just added to Watch Instantly.

[Bert]

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen was added to watch instantly.

[Atty]

Newsradio.

I had watched it a good bit before but watching it now it really clicks with me. Relating to it more now, Phil Hartman's an absolute genius and it has a young Joe Rogan on the cast. It also strikes me how much less annoying Andy Dick was at this point.

I've just starting watching this.

This Beth chick reminds me of Meredith from The Office except Beth is more likable. Joe Rogan is great. Maura Tierney was very hot back then too. Also, I agree completely about Andy Dick.

That's a somewhat misleading description, supernatural force makes it sound like they're facing a demon or something like that, which they aren't.

[Bert]

Noted.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Oh man, Newsradio is on Netflix? I forgot about that show.

[Jimmy Zero]

It really is great. Dave Foley and the guy that plays the boss of the station were excellent together and had really good comic chemistry.

[Chris Dolmeth]

I miss Phil Hartman :(

[Jimmy Zero]

Me too.

Didn't Jon Lovitz replace him on Newsradio? He honestly wasn't bad, but that show never recovered from Hartman's death.

[Chris Dolmeth]

I could be wrong, but I think Lovitz joined when Hartman was still there.

[Atty]

Lovitz played a mental patient who thought he was Uylsses S. Grant in an episode while Hartman was there. After he died, he tried to fill his best friend's spot.


Stephen Root (the boss) is massively underrated. Always amazing. Shame they took his stapler.

[Atty]

Party Down.

Great little show that I knew nothing of before it popped up as a recommendation and my totally gay crush on Adam Scott encouraged me to give it a go.

I've never seen White Collar so I'll probably watch that when it's added.

Also, for anyone who's heard bad things about How I Met Your Mother's last couple of seasons, don't let that scare you away from watching it. The first 4 or so seasons were great.

[Vice]

I enjoy White Collar. First episode sets up the show really well, too, especially the opening 3 minutes. The quality dips here and there throughout the series, but overall it is good and definitely worth giving a try.

[Jacknife]

Limitless and Scarface are good additions. I must remember to check those out.

[Jimmy Zero]

Scarface sucks.

I'm going to definitely check out the HIMYM.

I wish Community would get put on Instant.

Edward Scizzorhands
Never Been Kissed
The Siege

[Jacknife]

Edward Scissorhands is a quality film. I remember seeing it in the theaters. I will definitely re-watch this on streaming.

[MikeHunt]

edward scissorhand is rubbish just like the rest of burtons pants films.

[Jacknife]

Edward Scissorhands and the Batman films are the only ones I enjoy of his. Sleepy Hollow was ok, but the rest I can't get into.

[Greed]

Scissorhands, Big Fish, Batman (arguably not), and Pee Wee's Big Adventure...the only Burton Films worth anything.

[Jimmy Zero]

Big Fish was HORRIBLE, I thought. Pee Wee and Beetlejuice are his only good movies.

[Greed]

It's more pretentious than it should be, but it's different from a lot of Burton films, does not star Depp, and has great acting performances all around...Beetlejuice is good too...

[Jacknife]

Johnny Depp is the most overrated actor of our time.

[MikeHunt]

Bale, Ledger and Damon are far more overrated than Depp.

[Greed]

I don't see Depp getting backlash for his bad films, except for here, where Damon does not get the overall critical acclaim that Bale and Depp get.

Meanwhile, Ledger was never rated that high on anyones best actor list until he played the Joker, and he was absolutely robbed of an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain.

[MikeHunt]

depp got pounded for Alice in Wonderland and Charlie, im pretty sure there is more but can't think of them off the top of my head.

EDIT: From Hell there is another.

[Greed]

From Hell was really great. Heather Graham is bad in it though...

The 9th Gate sucked, and the Libertine was about the worst POS I've ever seen in theaters.

Alice was bad on all accounts, but it has a lot of people who liked it a lot.

[MikeHunt]

critically poor reception for all those films.
and each of them bar from hell, (only like this because of the book and a small obsesive issue with jack the ripper) are shite.

[Atty]

9th Gate was shit but I remember there being some hot chick in it besides Depp.

[Jacknife]

Was Johnny Depp in Nick of Time? That was pretty good from what I remember. It's been a while though. Anyone seen the Rum Diary?

[Jimmy Zero]

The live action Tick has been on Instant for ages. Still, what a great show. Too bad there's only like 9 episodes.

The first couple of seasons of Burn Notice are awesome, but it goes downhill awfully fast in the later seasons.

Looking forward to catching up on White Collar. That's a solid show.

[S.H. Styles]

White Collar season 2 was amazing. I watched it live last year but forgot details. I just rewatched the first episode of season 2 and re-realized why I love that show so much.

The Bluth family’s new comedy adventures will be available exclusively through the video service starting in the first half of 2013. Why, that’s like getting unlimited juice.
“After a long hiatus, I’m dying to finally get back to the narrator’s microphone,” said executive producer and series narrator Ron Howard. “Of all the projects we’ve been involved with over the years, we probably get more questions about Mitch Hurtwitz’s brilliant Arrested Development than any other — everyone, ourselves included, seems to feel like the Bluths left the party a bit too soon. Bringing a series back from cancellation almost never happens, but then, Arrested always was about as unconventional as they get, so it seems totally appropriate that this show that broke the mold is smashing it to pieces once again.”

Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine Television will produce the new episodes of the show. How many episodes? That’s not been announced yet.
Will all the cast members return? That’s not been announced either — no contracts have been finalized, we’re told. But certainly previous statements by the producers and cast indicate that everybody is, in theory, on board.
Will there still be the long-rumored movie? Also unclear. But if you’re getting the show back, and on service like Netflix that won’t presumably have any content restrictions anyway (unlike during the show’s original three-season run on Fox) — do we even need a movie?


:panic:

[Bert]

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night was added today.

It bombed at the box office making 1.1 million when it cost 20.

Kurt Angle is in it.

[Jacknife]

It was a pretty good film.

[MikeHunt]

Human centipede 2 is getting watched very soon!

[Bert]

Drive is on Netflix now. You should go watch it, it's pretty good.

[Hobbit]

I need season 2 of Storage Wars yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppp

[Hlebsfall]

You should get on the American Netflix, it's on there. Take it you know they're showing the third series at the moment on Discovery or whatever the fuck channel it's on. Thursdays at 10. I would love to rattle Brandi.

[Hobbit]

I've got the US one klebzzz but it's only the first 19 eps. Can't be doing watching shit on actual tv either, adverts are for losers. Brandi is just Pam from the US Office, cuddly face and clearly filth.

I need more Barry and his terrible auction skillz

[Bert]

The movie Super 8 and the tv show Wilfred (Season 1) were both just added.

You should go watch them, especially Wilfred.

[Mr_Nobody]

Super 8 is on there now? I'm going to have to add that.

And Wilfred is great, but don't need to watch it on Netflix. I watched it when it first came on and is currently watching Season 2.

For an older show, and still one of my favorites, Sports Night is a great 30 minute sitcom written by Aaron Sorkin, pre-West Wing. To me, outside of West Wing, it's still the best thing he's ever done.

[Jimmy Zero]

Fuck yeah, Super 8. I really wanted to see that.

Recently added (that I haven't seen mentioned) are a ton of the ESPN hour long documentaries. They are extremely well done. I watched the one about Chuck Wepner (the guy Stalllone based Rocky on) and it was fascinating.

[Bert]

Bumping this to say that Mad Men Season 5 was added today.

[JP]

Anybody else watched House of Cards, the made for Netflix series? Stunning stuff.

[Jimmy Zero]

I'm about 3 or 4 episodes in. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

[New FN Show Stopper]

I need season five of SOA on netflix, any news on when that will be?

[virms]

They need to get Arrested Development already. I know it is May but hurry!

[Fro]

I finally signed up for Netflix streaming. It's so worth the $8 a month.

I plan to start House of Cards soon. Been hearing good things.

[Mik]

Bumping this to say that Mad Men Season 5 was added today.


Awesome.

[MikeHunt]

Are you watching the American Netflix mik? How are you getting access to it?

[MikeHunt]

alright lads im having serious netflix issues. i keep getting told i need to update sliverlight. i have tried this a zillion times but its not working at all. tried uninstalling chrome ect but i have no idea what the shit is going on. please help me i'm withdrawing.

[The Rogerer]

Wardy gave me a DNS to enter in the Wii menu, but that only worked for a week. It also made the screen slowly turn green when using the component cables. Mental.

I'm playing Unblock US £3 a month. Worth every penny.

[Bert]

I use unblock us for all the other regions. Brazil and Mexico get good movies.

[Pete Cash]

Canada is really strong for movies imo. US Netflix can be a little on the weaker side I find.

[Pete Cash]

This is a useful site

http://www.moreflicks.com

[Pete Cash]

If you guys can excuse the triple post a good tv show if you've not seen it is Rome which is on UK Netflix because its UK rights holder isn't hbo (bbc I believe)

[Peter Griffin]

I'm playing Unblock US £3 a month. Worth every penny.

So im setting this up and this comes up: 'be sure to write down the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper'. I know nothing about computers, how do you access server addresses and settings?

[Mik]

What are you putting it on? A PS3?

[Peter Griffin]

On my laptop. Its probably simple, but unfortunately so am I.

[Alf]

I don't know why you'd pay for the unblock. You can get a plugin for firefox that will remove region restrictions. On the pS3 just search for some US dns settings. done.

[Mik]

Its just dodgy, thats all.

[Peter Griffin]

I don't know why you'd pay for the unblock. You can get a plugin for firefox that will remove region restrictions. On the pS3 just search for some US dns settings. done.

I use chrome, also I dont like the sound of the second part.

[MikeHunt]

just use hola unblocker peter. its free.

6 episodes of a "fly-on-the-wall" documentary that follows the UK company Lovehoney. I was bored tonight, and watched the first episode. I thought it was a good watch.

[Clive Plasma]

Don't know if this has been put up before, but it's quite useful when figuring out what to watch;

[stylepoints]

Trailer Park Boys - Season 8, only on Netflix. First episode available today.

[Donald]

From Dusk Til Dawn the series is on Netflix too. Apart from the guy trying so hard to be George Clooney, it's pretty good.

[Alf]

On Amazon Prime, they've got Dark Knight Returns the animated thingy. It's really good. I like it.

[Beer-Belly]

It's one of the best animated movies that DC has ever done.

[Alf]

That sequence with the smoke is amazing! I hope they make a proper film out of it one day.

[The_Mike]

I've been watching The West Wing on Netflix lately. I saw an episode here and there when it was on Channel 4 or something back in the day, but never really followed it. After loving The Newsroom I put it in my list but only watched the pilot, thought it was kinda meh, and didn't go back for ages. Gave it another shot and I couldn't tell you how many episodes are the most I've watched on the trot, it's just so watchable I'm not even counting at times. I'm in the midst of the third season and it's starting to lose a little steam, probably a combination of the novelty finally wearing off and the writing getting a bit awkward as they try to deal with September 11th sort of happening but not, yet I still love all the characters. That basically never happens, in all these 90s-style ensemble casts there's always one or two I find incredibly annoying or just plain boring. I always hated Worf episodes in TNG, for instance, never found the character particularly interesting compared to the likes of Picard and Data. He got a lot better in DS9, mind. Anyway, I find myself giving a crap about CJ, Toby, Josh et al. And of course I love politics and watching people operate in that world and deal with the frustrations of believing one thing but knowing something else will work is pretty interesting.

[Matty C]

We watched "House of Cards" just before the summer and thought it was awesome. Francis Underwood is now one of my favourite characters on TV.

We also got into Suits. At first I found it formulaic and reaching but lately, I believe we’re in the third season now, it’s really rolling. Overall, it’s a bit light at times but mostly fun.

[virms]

Trailer Park Boys - Season 8, only on Netflix. First episode available today.

Whole season is avaliable you cocksucker.

[Nash Diesel]

I've been watching Batman Beyond. It came out when I was a senior in high school and at that time I never really gave much attention to animated shows because I'd be at school then work. I really dig this cartoon. Also, I'm really getting into these super old movies like Intolerance and Metropolis, haven't watched Intolerance completely yet (shit is like 4 1/2 hours) but Metropolis was fucking incredible for a movie that came out almost 100 years ago. Apparently it's considered the first science fiction movie.

[Clive Plasma]

The old Asterix films, and the Tin Tin cartoons have been added. Excellent nostalgia.

[Hero!]

Any word on when New Girl season 3 is supposed to be up for streaming?

[Jimmy Zero]

I got an email saying it's been made available today.

[Hero!]

Thank you sir. Watching it now. :yes:

[Beer-Belly]

I'm sure it's been posted in here before, but instantwatcher.com updates when Netflix adds new movies and TV shows.

http://instantwatcher.com/titles/new

[Donald]

I hope they add a lot of horror during October, because I think I've seen everything under the horror genre on Netflix.

[Donald]

Django Unchained is coming to Netflix at the end of October. Can't wait, it's in my top 10 list of films I haven't seen yet.

[Nash Diesel]

That is a great movie.

I tried out an anime I had never seen called Vampire Knight, wasn't that great but I'll give it a few more episodes. And I watched the movie "Bronson" with Tom Hardy. It was awesome, kind of had a Clockwork Orange vibe going.

[MikeHunt]

Clockwork orange vibe from bronson? Please explain.

[Mik]

He's not the first to make that comparison, quite a few reviewers did too.

[Nash Diesel]

It wasn't like I watched it and went "Wow this is the exact same plotline, dialogue, etc. as Clockwork Orange" but more the visuals, the self-narration, I honestly couldn't tell you a detailed reason as to WHY. Maybe if I read some reviews that shared the same feelings about the movie I'd have a better grasp on the WHY aside from like I said, the way it looked and the way Bronson narrates the film like Alex did in Clockwork. It shares that grittiness. So maybe MikeHunt you were thinking I was trying to do a detailed comparison of the two in terms of plot, dialogue, but it wasn't that it was more the vibe of Clockwork. Kind of like I watch Django and can get that Pulp Fiction-Kill Bill-Tarantino vibe even though none of these movies really have much in common in terms of the plot.

[MikeHunt]

Fair enough. I still don't see it.

[MikeHunt]

He's not the first to make that comparison, quite a few reviewers did too.

Alex Zane and Paul Ross review films mik, I don't take much from your comment.

[Donald]

Hunger Games 2 is coming soon too, never seen that. Nor the first one. Any good?

Tombstone was recently added, started watching it last night but fell asleep. Can't believe I've never seen it.

[virms]

Trailer Park Boys.

[Fro]

Django Unchained is coming to Netflix at the end of October. Can't wait, it's in my top 10 list of films I haven't seen yet.

Excited for this as well even though I've seen it twice.


Hunger Games 2 is coming soon too, never seen that. Nor the first one. Any good?


I saw the first one and read the first book. Neither enticed me to continue on.

[The_Mike]

Hunger Games 2 is coming soon too, never seen that. Nor the first one. Any good?

I really liked both Hunger Games films. If you've seen a fair amount of the teen sci-fi dystopia stuff that's around now it likely won't come across as anything new but at the time I found the first a breath of fresh air, and was glad to see that young woman from Winter's Bone land such a good role. You can see how Lawrence became a star with this.

[Donald]

I saw Divergent and quite enjoyed it. I will check out the Hunger Games this weekend.

[Bert]

Django Unchained is on Netflix. I haven't felt like dedicating 3 hours to watching it yet.

[virms]

Any recommendations? Looking for a tv show.

Happy Valley

[Slare]

Happy Valley

This is very good. Went through a phase watching a bunch of the british crime thriller carry on things, like the Killing (norn oirish one with him off 50 shades, fucking hunk), Happy Valley and Broadchurch. Happy Valley is excellent.

[MikeHunt]

Programmes I should watch but don't because my mum likes them therefore I automatically think it's shite.

Which ones?

[Clive Plasma]

'Short Poppies' is good. Kind of like 'We Can Be Heroes', but it's got Rhys Darby/Murray from FOTC as a different character each episode.

[virms]

Fuck sake better call Saul is on Netflix. I wasted some bandwidth.

[Chris Scott]

Since I got Netflix have seen -

Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
The Shield
Marco Polo
House of Cards
Suits

What next?

Peaky Blinders.

I'm 4 episodes in, it's really good stuff.

[MikeHunt]

I've struggled to enjoy anything as much as the shield.

[Chris Scott]

Ah The Shield, I really should be started that.

[Romford Pele]

Peaky Blinders.

I'm 4 episodes in, it's really good stuff.

Sorry saw that as well. Started Bloodline but got bored with it.

[MikeHunt]

Do it. For all the brilliance of sopranos, breaking bad and possibly game of thrones, the shield shites on it.

[Romford Pele]

The Shield is bloody brilliant. Probably only Breaking Bad was as good from that list.

[Rancid_Planet]

I'm currently trying to finish off the Shield. I'm about halfway through season 6. It and The Wire are my two favorite "cop shows" that people need to see. Very different shows but both just so so good. The Wire has more layers than an onion and The Shield is like having a panic attack for 45 minutes every single episode.

[BBF]

I've struggled to enjoy anything as much as the shield.

This. I genuinely haven't found anything I love as much as The Shield. Lost is great, I really like Dexter but The Shield is so, so good.

I binge watched the first 5 seasons but had to take a weeks break at the end of season 5 to get over what happened.

[Beefy]

Problem with starting the Shield is that I believe it is coming off of UK Netflix in the next week or two.

If you use a VPN then this is less of an issue as I'm sure it'll be on one of the other regions.

[Fanny]

I watched a few seasons of The Shield, but I never really liked it and I actually ended up hating it.

[Donald]

I've been watching Magnum P.I. It's a fun little show.

[Romford Pele]

No thread for it that I can see, but has anyone UK based got NOW TV?

I got it for GOT and Mad Men, but that aside not sure what I else is worth seeing.

[Chris Scott]

Sorry saw that as well. Started Bloodline but got bored with it.

Didn't you finish bloodline then.

[Gary J]

Ah The Shield, I really should be started that.

You really really should.

[virms]

I have never seen the shield.

[lotjx]

Watching Sense 8. Its pretty early Heroes, so far. Yet, I am emotionally invested in some of the characters. JMS still has that writing power.

[Chris Scott]

You really really should.

I know mate and this isn't the first time you've told me too.

[virms]

If he has to tell you again it's a dildo slapping.

[lotjx]

Sense 8 has a ridiculous amount of sex and all nude. I mean all nudity. There seems to be a plot, but its moving kinda slow.

[MikeHunt]

Wanking furiously then?

[MikeHunt]

Iooooooooooh tits and minge!

wank wank wannnnnnnnnnnk!

[virms]

Sense 8 just got pushed up the queue. :shifty:

[lotjx]

I just finished. Again, its slow, but man there is some good shit there minus of course the wanking material. There is one scene in the middle...well...you'll get to it.

[Chris Scott]

If he has to tell you again it's a dildo slapping.

Oh shit I'm on it.

[virms]

Fuck I don't think I can get past daryl hannah's plastic surgery face.

[lotjx]

It doesn't last long.

[virms]

I went with sons of anarchy.

[lotjx]

Stop after Season 5.

[virms]

Which season should I turn the audio on? :p

[Romford Pele]

Didn't you finish bloodline then.

Nah, watched first couple of episodes and really didnt get into it.

[Gary J]

Fuck I don't think I can get past daryl hannah's plastic surgery face.

Not watching it now I don't want some of my teenage wanking memories ruining.

[Chris Scott]

Nah, watched first couple of episodes and really didnt get into it.

You didn't find the Danny/Black sheep/everyone against him/flashbacks interesting then. Maybe give it another try.

[mr sabu]

just fubished watching all 8 seasons of house

[LOCONUT]

I don't use a VPN but I do use a DNS service called Unblock-US which is excellent. Using http://www.moreflicks.com/ you can find movies or TV shows playing across different Netflix regions and best of all it all plays in English no matter which service you're using.

[Beefy]

I always thought Unblock-US was a VPN service :$

I was thinking we should try again with the Rajah film club if there's a bunch of us with access to all of the stores.

[Mik]

I use VPN Unlimited.

[turdpower]

If I have Netflix UK, could I just use Hola and log in the same way and get access to more US stuff or do I need a US account?

[MikeHunt]

just use hola and log in as normal.

[turdpower]

Is it much different MH?

[turdpower]

Fuck me it's amazingly different...

[MikeHunt]

amazon prime usa is incredible. has loads of hbo shows and they are putting all of curb on it tomorrow.

[Clive Plasma]

I use Zenmate on Google Chrome and it's a dream.

On Apple TV I just change the DNS and it thinks I'm in America.

[Beefy]

Fuck me it's amazingly different...

The U.S. one is a bit shit. It is a different catalogue than ours but no better IMO. Canada, Sweden and Netherlands is where it is at.

just watched Son of a Gun with Ewan McGregor and Brenton Thwates. Pretty gritty movie with some great acting and a haunting score. Loved the ending. Probably a solid 8/10 for me.

[Clive Plasma]

Recently on Netflix I have watched;

Starlet (http://movieblort.com/2015/08/06/netflix-pick-starlet-2012/), which was this dream film about a sexy blonde girl who befriends an older lady out of guilt.

Mardaani (http://movieblort.com/2015/06/22/netflix-pick-mardaani-2014/), basically an Indian version of 'Taken' with a woman as the lead.

Dealin' With Idiots (http://movieblort.com/2015/06/15/netflix-pick-dealin-with-idiots-2013/), a dry comedy about weird parents and their fascination with kids sports.

Miss Violence (http://movieblort.com/2015/06/12/netflix-pick-miss-violence-2010-review/), a tweaky Greek drama about a girl who commits suicide.

Hot Rod (http://movieblort.com/2015/06/08/hot-rod-2007-review/), a quality cult comedy starring Andy Samberg with many quotable lines.

The Manchurian Candidate, a remake of a 1960's classic starring Denzel Washington. Very weird, solid film.

And then a fuck load of Documentaries; full list here (http://movieblort.com/2015/04/13/movieblorts-top-documentaries-on-uk-netflix-part-1/) and here (http://movieblort.com/2015/07/03/movieblorts-top-documentaries-on-netflix-uk-part-2/)

Making of a Murderer, is a new 10 part documentary.I seriously don't want to spoil it for anyone so all I'll say is that it is in a similar vein as 'The Jinx' and 'The Staircase'.

I watched the first 4 episodes yesterday and I'm hooked. Each episode ends with a really great cliffhanger that makes you want to start the next one straight away. I'm purposefully not looking up the story online so I do not spoil the remainder of the episodes for myself.

If you dont have Netflix the first episode is available on YouTube:

[Nash Diesel]

Just wrapped up Jessica Jones (killer show btw) and I need to know, outside of this Making A Murderer-which I've heard great things about, what other new exclusive to Netflix shows should I start next?

[Kdestiny]

Master of None has been pretty good so far

Yeah Im onto episode five and its really good. I already knew the story though so it was a bit spoiled - think it was on something like FBI files before (unless a really similar case). Anyway its getting stick online for bending the truth for drama but I can let it slide as most documentaries do anyway.

Have you watched F is for Family?

[mth]

We started watching F is for Family last night. It is not good. It's not awful but it's pretty meh.

[Rancid_Planet]

I really really like it.

It's so fucking depressing and awkward.

[mth]

I can only hope you've watched and love BoJack Horseman.

Like I said, I don't think it's terrible but it just doesn't hit the mark for me. Willing to watch all the episodes and see if I'll reevaluate it by the end of things. There are bits that I dig.

Nah, it's pretty fucking good. I howled at the scene with Bill under the bed in the fifth episode.

I haven't seen all of Bojack but I've seen enough to know its brilliant.

That was the saddest, most fucked up, awful, hilarious, laughed till snot shot out my nose thing I've ever seen.

[Clutch]

Master of None 9/10
Making of a Murderer 9/10
Jessica Jones 7/10

The Ridiculous 6 UGH Adam Sandler please fucking kill yourself. Got through about 3 mins of this shit before pressing stop. Just UGH.

[Jimmy Zero]

I'm surprised you even gave it a chance.

[Clutch]

i was desperate. i just can't beleive how this fuck can get projects greenlit. Such a fucking tool

[Rancid_Planet]

It was OK in parts. How fucking LONG was it though? Trim it down Sandler. Jesus, not everything is Malcom X.

[Beer-Belly]

That was the saddest, most fucked up, awful, hilarious, laughed till snot shot out my nose thing I've ever seen.

I was genuinely a little shocked by far they took that scene. Kudos to ol' Billy Burr.

[mth]

OK, we watched the rest of the episodes tonight. That bedroom scene you're talking about was fantastic, definitely the apex of the show. I still stand by it being fairly mediocre overall, though. Just felt like it only got halfway there. Pales in comparison to stuff like BoJack.

[Beer-Belly]

Eh, BoJack is a little too mopey for my taste.

[Clive Plasma]

Agree with most of war's been said. F is for Family is pretty likeable, if not just the same vibe every episode.

Making a Murderer is fucking class though. Toughest thing is not looking up what on earth happens.

I watched White God yesterday on Netflix, easily a top 10 film of the year for me. Just unbelievable.

I wish modern 2D animation just didn't look so shit. Cartoons have looked crap since Ren and Stimpy. Give me Turtles and Thundercats style of animation any day.
Basically I wish it was the 80's. Wouldn't that be good.

[Fanny]

Starting watching Making of a Murderer. It's amazing and also making me fucking furious

[BBF]

Got one episode left. Watching it tonight with the missus. Its fucking brilliant.

[Nash Diesel]

Totally agree. I love watching the 80's stuff like GI Joe, Transformers, but also the 90's had some really good stuff like X-Men, Batman. Now that I think of it I need to get season 3 of the original X Men cartoon, I think they have up to 5 or 6.

[Mr McGregor]

I'd like to know what this is for...

I have no idea what that is. But have you all seen THIS?

They sense when your body has gone limp and is sleeping then send a signal to turn off Netflix so you don't miss anything you were watching!
