End of Watch

any good?

Very.

Watched it last night and I agree.

Dear Zachary.

Holy crap was this documentary something that was so good I wish I never watched it.

High level summary of what this is about?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

That Bo Burnham comedy special is dog####. 1/5.

Dear Zachary.

Holy crap was this documentary something that was so good I wish I never watched it.

High level summary of what this is about?

Young doctor who ends up getting involved with a crazy lady....who stalks him....then kills him.....and finds out she is pregnant with his baby. She is waiting for trial and the dead doctor's parents have to deal with her while trying to see their grandchild.

Does anyone else have a problem with audio in Netflix where it gets quiet after a few seconds? I find myself having to jack up the volume to hear dialog in some parts of movies, only to get my ears blown out when it switches to a louder scene.

Were you familiar with his style before watching it? I thought it was pretty good. He isn't a typical comedian as much as he is a performer. Just don't go in expecting you are going to get standup.

I loved Words Words Words, didn't really like this one. First one was rapid fire hilarity, this one was more awkward performance pieces. Like that pantomimed internet porn session- it was like a two minute setup for one joke. Granted, it was an awesome joke ("the key, not the felony"), but not sure it was worth it, and it was very different from his last special.

The Dead Zone- tv series

 

[jamny]

Watched the first episode of The Fall. Good start. A little slow but I hope that's just because of all the character intros.

Fantastic show. I'm desperately waiting for the second season.

Anyone having issues tonight? I can't get Netflix to load on multiple devices.

Bo Burnham What

Young guy, high energy, not all great but pretty damn funny and original.

 

[Frostillicus]

I watched Fargo and Pulp Fiction tonight. You should check them out.

Dear Zachary.

Man that was a tough watch.

I think I watched this a long time ago. Not watching it again, but if I may here is my short summary:

Women are ####### crazy.

 

[Vike Me]

Watched a documentary about our business relationship with China called "Death By China." As you can tell by the title, it's got a certain point of view, but jebus there's some eye-opening information tucked away in there.

Wow, thanks for this.

Most of the stuff I already knew/thought, but it was nice to see it in this format. Hey, but the shareholders are happy

I wish I had read it up before watching it. The end of that was pretty unexpected. I couldn't help but feel terrible for that guy's parents/Zachary's grandparents.

Yeah...definitely not a movie you want to watch twice.

Agreed. Great, gut-wrenching documentary. But it's just way too much to watch again.

Red Dawn - meh

 

[tikigods]

Red Dawn - meh

If they had left the Chinese in as the main enemy, it would have been more believable. North Korea invading the US is about as likely as the Buffalo Bills winning a Superbowl.

 

[tikigods]

Stand Up Guys? Anyone seen this? Holy crap what a terrible movie.

 

[Rodeojones]

ESPN Films "SEC Storied - Sam Bowie - Going Big".

Great film on Sam Bowie. Growing up in Portland Oregon, I have alot of memories of Sam Bowie being drafted by the Trail Blazers.

Decent, but nothing special. Ending was weak.

I liked it a lot, and that seems to be the general consensus.

Ending was weak? It made me shed a tear or 2.

Stand Up Guys? Anyone seen this? Holy crap what a terrible movie.

Nothing special, but I dont see what's not enjoyable/entertaining about watching Pacino and Walken bull#### with each other for 90 minutes with a little Arkin thrown in for good measure.

I'm with Popinski on this one. It was ok.

Carlos the Jackal

Acting is superb and this is a 3 episode event with each one of them roughly 1:45 in length so this is not just an afternoon, you might have to watch this over a week. It was made in 2010 by acclaimed French director Olivier Assayas and it's tough material because Carlos is a terrorist who murdered and killed a lot of people over about 2 decades. I think you will find it fascinating and considering there is a lot of "Meh" on Netflix I am trying to dig deep to find some title you all might not even know are on there.

I used to rip Netflix quite a bit 3-4 years ago but now there seems to be a lot more programming and also there is a strong platform here for independent movies to find their audience. I have a whole bunch of films I am sifting thru before I post 'em up in here but i am finding a lot of movies over say the last 5-8 years that I somehow missed or were never released in my area. I used to be able to catch everything in SoCal and got spoiled.

I think the first 3-5 minutes of Carlos will get your attention, it is set in early mid 70s to start and they do an excellent job with Euro cars during that time period, the clothes, the look, they did a great job on what I imagine was a limited budget.

Carlos the Jackal

I'll check this out. I felt like this when I first started watching The Fall. Holy chit did that show turn out to be a win. I can't wait for season two!

Hard Eight

Same director as Boogie Nights, done a couple years ahead of Boogie Nights, lot of the same actors except he managed to snag Samuel Jackson for a supporting role in the middle of one helluva tear for Jackson between Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and some other hard ### thugs he found a juicy role in the middle of this movie to sink his teeth into.

Watch it, but be prepared for a Vegas that doesn't exist anymore. Even when they were filming this, Las Vegas was evolving quickly out of the 70s and 80s into the monstrosity it is today.

Probably my favorite PT Anderson film. Considering the films & acclaim he has gone on to receive, this is still an overlooked little gem.

Anyone seen the movie "Following" ?

Saw it on some netflix top 100 list and was mildly intrigued.

[James Daulton]

Is Lilyhammer any good? Thinking about giving it a shot.

I've enjoyed the first few episodes of season 1 and will continue.

Finished the second season last night. Far too short.

3 episodes in but I'm not loving it so far. I'm having trouble buying Little Steven as this badass mob guy. I'll give it another episode or two before I eject.

I liked it. I remember it being a little tough to figure out what was going on but it came together nicely.

Good thing I re-watched Running Scared recently.

Typical Chris Nolan film in that regard. It just happens to be his debut.
