I really liked You're Gonna Miss Me about Roky Erickson. Maybe it's because I'm a Texan.

Lebowski isn't all that great anyway. Very overrated.

The layered dialogue is in the same vein, obviously severalrungs down, but it completely cracks me up."What are you doing?"
"Admiring your light bulbs. What are these 40 watts? It's like friggin' Buckingham Palace in here."

Yep. Plowed though the first three episodes last night. Just as good as expected.

Going to go against the grain here and say that I don't care for Mad Men at all. Not interesting in the least. It's quite boring. There. I've said it.
I was thinking about steaming earlier. For some reason, I was wondering what selection is in my queue that I have watched more than once, and of those, which was my most watched. I would say it would be these 3:
1) The King of Kong (no longer offered)
2) Zach Galifinakis: Live at the Blue Onion
3) Best in Show

Has anyone mentioned the following?
Skins (UK): Only the 1st 3 seasons as available. I've ripped through the first 2 seasons in under a week. Show follows a group of kids from the UK in their last couple years of college (which is High School here, I think). The finale of season 2 was them all moving on to university and season 3 has started with a new group.
Coupling (UK): Watched this one a while ago, so not sure if its still available. The UK version of Friends, but with cussing and much more sexual themes than you can get away with in the US.
Hard Times of RJ Berger: Only the 1st season is available. My buddy kept telling me it was funny, so I watched it when it finally was added. Its about a dork in high school (sophomore, I think) that is VERY well endowed. Its mindless comedy, but I liked it.

Watched a few episodes of this on a whim not too long ago, I actually cracked up quite a bit.

So am I getting this right: AMC is showing Mad Men from the start on sunday but its NOT on Netflix?
...I dont currently have DVR, so I still feel conflicted about starting to watch a show if its not on Netflix

I tried twice to get into this show, and the second time around I made it as far as episode 9.What is so appealing? Is it the "mystery" of Don Draper? We know exactly what his deal is, and there is more per minute mystery and intrigue in an episode of Blue's Clues. I mean I kind of appreciate MM's attempt to be all artsy with lighting, furniture, and all the period props, but there’s nothing particularly compelling about it. It just tries to hard. IMO It’s really just a stale recycling of the cultural lessons we’ve learned about the 60's over and over again.Not really.

I could see how Mad Men would not be for everyone, the pacing is slow, you get tons of melodramatic staring into the void, lit cigarette in hand, but I am really enjoying it. All the nods to the decade are funny and fasinating. I'm still only 4 episodes in, but the kid playing in the plastic bag had me rolling on the floor.I tried twice to get into this show, and the second time around I made it as far as episode 9.What is so appealing?

Tried to watch Netflix through my Wii. I ordered the disk awhile back but never set it up. Spent 15 minutes getting it all set up and they tell me I have to get it from the Wii shop. I go to the Wii shop and apparently it costs $20.00. Is this for real?
ETA: Nevermind, I'm a dummy. Nothing makes me feel older than trying to navigate the damn wii remote.

Did they at least wrap it up? I liked the first few episodes I saw on Starz preview weekend.

Watched two episodes of Party Down last night. Funny, but not great so far. Stick with it?

Yes there are a few meh episodes but a few are really funny. Would have liked to have seen another season or 2 of this.

Winter's Bone was just made available today. If you're in the mood for a drama, it's a good option. Some great acting performances.

So there isn't much happening that's compelling and it's recycling stale lessons?

It's a good movie, but make sure you're prepared for a whole lot of bleakness when you watch it.

Watched the first 2 episodes of The Hard Times of RJ Berger. It's average at best so far.

Season 1? Yes, it gets better. It takes time to develop the characters. The show isn't for everyone, however.
