The Netflix Thread

[EyesWideOpen]

They added last year's Margin Call and Warrior.

[EyesWideOpen]

Just watched the Len Bias one and it's my favorite so far. I knew very little about the story going in so pretty much all the info and it's importance was new to me.

[Thirdmango]

Someone mentioned Metropolitan was messed up on instant, does anyone know if they've fixed it or how big the error is on it? I wanna try and watch it in the next two days if it's not too big an error.

[EyesWideOpen]

Not sure on Metropolitan. I've went to watch a movie on instant and the audio was off horribly and went back to watch over a year later and it not have been fixed and all the comments were complaining about it.

[Ivan Drago]

Not sure on Metropolitan. I've went to watch a movie on instant and the audio was off horribly and went back to watch over a year later and it not have been fixed and all the comments were complaining about it.

The problem I had was quickly resolved. When I reported the sound being off on the deadmau5 Meowington's Hax 2K11 concert a few months ago, it came back a month later, sound completely in sync.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Albert Nobbs.

[Ezee E]

Cancelled my subscription.

[Derek]

Cancelled my subscription.

Cool story bro.

[Skitch]

Cool story bro.
I didn't like the ending.

[Derek]

I didn't like the ending.

I didn't care about the characters.

[Russ]

I didn't care about the characters.

Thematically, it was both nuanced and richly substantive, you'd have to admit.

[Ivan Drago]

Cancelled my subscription.

But...why?

[Skitch]

Thematically, it was both nuanced and richly substantive, you'd have to admit.

I think the look on E's avatar was enough, we didn't need to see the cancelled subscription.

[Dukefrukem]

New episodes of Arrested Development (which they are filming as we speak) is enough for me to keep my account.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Cancelled my subscription.

Albert Nobbs isn't that bad.

[dreamdead]

Albert Nobbs isn't that bad.

:lol: Brilliant.

[ContinentalOp]

Albert Nobbs isn't that bad.
The 30 seconds I saw of it was excellent. A good couple of reasons to stay.

[Dukefrukem]

Albert Nobbs isn't that bad.

It's actually quite good.

[Spun Lepton]

God Bless America is up, and it's worth watching.

[kopello]

The Turin Horse

[Dukefrukem]

God Bless America is up, and it's worth watching.

Really?

[Spun Lepton]

Really?

Yup! If you like Bobcat's style, it's definitely worth a look. I liked it better than World's Greatest Dad.

[number8]

No fucking waaaay they just added Riki-Oh! :lol:

[Scar]

:lol::lol::lol:

Huzzah!

[EyesWideOpen]

Everyone should already own a copy of Riki-Oh!

[Dead & Messed Up]

Whoo-hoo!

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/cajeguitarist/Riki-Oh_head_cursh.gif

[Skitch]

I DO own a copy of Riki-Oh!

...on VHS. :lol:

[MadMan]

No fucking waaaay they just added Riki-Oh! :lol:Hell yes. I finally get to see it, and then I'll review it for the still awesome B-Movie thread. Wahoo :lol: :pritch:

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Super 8 and Wilfred (US) Season 1.

[number8]

Fuuuuuuuuck the Riki-Oh on Netflix is the subtitled version.

[EyesWideOpen]

Bunch of stuff got added:
Battle Royale 1 & 2, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, The Moth Diaries, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, Penumbra, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance.

[number8]

The Vengeance trilogy has been streaming for a very long time, actually. At least a year, I think.

Gonna watch Jiro soon.

[EyesWideOpen]

The Vengeance trilogy has been streaming for a very long time, actually. At least a year, I think.

Gonna watch Jiro soon.

It must have been removed and then went back up. Also added Haywire (Soderbergh) and Parks and Rec season 4.

[Dukefrukem]

In October, citizens of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark will be able to get on-demand HBO content even if they don't have cable.... a taste of things to come for the US?

[Spun Lepton]

In October, citizens of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark will be able to get on-demand HBO content even if they don't have cable.... a taste of things to come for the US?

Not necessarily. HBO is owned by Time/Warner, and I doubt they'll want to encourage people to cancel their cable TV service.

[Skitch]

Looks like they just added (and probably deleted) a bunch of stuff today. Some additions I noticed...Mission: Impossible movies, Coming To America, Beverly Hills Cop, Hot Rod, Sunset Boulevard, Explorers, Payback...

[DavidSeven]

The Grey (2012) is up.

Didn't really have any interest in this, but I think convenience + strong MC word of mouth is going to push me to give it a watch.

[Ezee E]

Oslo August 31st.

And, if you haven't seen Joachim Trier's previous film, Reprise, I think it's available through Watch Instant as well.

Yep, highly recommended.

Just got an email alert. Sherlock Season 2 now up!

[Dukefrukem]

$99 coming in Oct - Vudu added today.

[Mara]

Just got an email alert. Sherlock Season 2 now up!

They e-mailed me, too!

Netflix just gets us, you know?

[MadMan]

Just got an email alert. Sherlock Season 2 now up!Heh so did I. I'll probably rewatch it at some point, seeing as we aren't going to get any new Sherlock for a while.

[Mysterious Dude]

I've been having strange problems with Netflix lately. I watched an episode of Mad Men and it played just fine, then I tried to watch an episode of Star Trek: TNG and it was constantly stopping every few seconds and taking a very long time to start again. I didn't even make it to the opening credits. So I decided to watch an episode of Breaking Bad instead, and it played just fine.

There are so many steps before a show gets from Netflix to my TV (internet - wireless - Roku - TV), but I'm thinking it must be Netflix that's the problem if it's not happening to every show.

[number8]

It's the Borg.

[DavidSeven]

I know it's been going on for months, and it's already been mentioned here, but I'm really annoyed with how they minimize the screen the instant the end credits start. I don't mind this so much for TV shows, but when I'm watching a movie, sometimes I like to take few seconds to reflect on what I've just seen as the credits roll and not instantly be bombarded WITH OTHER THINGS I MIGHT LIKE immediately after the final frame. For fuck's sake, Netflix, give me a second.

Yeh but that feature is especially awesome because it doesn't even play the credit all the way through if you're watching multiple episodes back to back. That should be a feature you can check/uncheck in the settings though.

[Yxklyx]

Yup! If you like Bobcat's style, it's definitely worth a look. I liked it better than World's Greatest Dad.

I found it meh - the film felt too preachy as if the characters were just voicing the writer's opinions. The lead actor was great in this though which is what kept me interested. I loved his other two films though. This was a great concept but it didn't fully work for me.

[kopello]

The Deep Blue Sea and Keyhole have been added. Also White Chicks.

[Mal]

Coriolanus...
Beyond the Black Rainbow will be added on Oct. 11th.

[number8]

Both Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared.

[Mysterious Dude]

There are so many steps before a show gets from Netflix to my TV (internet - wireless - Roku - TV), but I'm thinking it must be Netflix that's the problem if it's not happening to every show.
So I'm now pretty sure the problem was the router. Sorry to alarm everybody. I've replaced the router and watched those two terrible episodes of Star Trek.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added I Wish (Hirokazu Koreeda). Everything who hasn't seen it needs to watch it immediately. They also added Mirror Mirror and The Artist.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Elena, Polisse and Monsieur Lazhar.

[EyesWideOpen]

Added two things I've been wanting to watch American Horror Story Season 1 and The Invisible War.

[EyesWideOpen]

Added Hugo, The Hole, Take This Waltz.

[Izzy Black]

Take This Waltz is good.

[Dukefrukem]

I liked the Hole.

[dreamdead]

Not sure if it's already been noted, but Mia Hansen-Love's Goodbye, First Love is on Instantview.

[number8]

Added the first season of Ultimate Spider-Man.

[number8]

Woah, major coup by Netflix. They signed a deal with Disney to have exclusive broadcast rights of all Disney movies starting in 2016, taking it away from Starz. First time this kind of deal is made with a streaming service rather than a cable channel.

They just added all of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Along with The Adventures of Tintin if you're looking for a sleep aid.

[Gizmo]

That's funny because I did totally sleep through half of Tintin.

[Stay Puft]

Reading this thread is depressing. I need access to the US Netflix and I needed it yesterday.

[Ivan Drago]

They just added all of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I know what I'm doing on my day off tomorrow.

[EyesWideOpen]

They just added that 15 part The Story of Film that everyone's been raving about. I've been wanting to check that out.

[Skitch]

Sweet!!

[EyesWideOpen]

The Kid with a Bike and Pina were added.

[ledfloyd]

The Kid with a Bike and Pina were added.
two of the best films in recent memory.

[Ezee E]

The Kid with a Bike and Pina were added.
Yes. Thanks!

[EyesWideOpen]

2 Days in New York and The Queen of Versailles are up.

[D_Davis]

I hope they get the old Disney Nature docs. Love those.

[number8]

The Loneliest Planet and Sleepwalk with Me.

[Dukefrukem]

Nice!

[number8]

For the DC fans, just added:

Justice League: Doom
Batman: Year One
All-Star Superman
Superman vs The Elite

Also, the previously gone Batman: Under the Red Hood, Suprman/Batman: Apocalypse and Superman/Shazam are all back.

[Neclord]

Oh sweet, definitely giving Year One and All-Star Superman a look.

[Skitch]

Awesome! Can't wait to watch Under The Red Hood again.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Red Hook Summer for anyone who want's to watch the worst Spike Lee film ever made.

[Scar]

All of The West Wing is now on there.

[eternity]

Best Christmas ever.

[Watashi]

I've never seen an episode. Is still worth watching even though it will be dated (politics wise)?.

[D_Davis]

Netflix streaming appears to be down. Hopefully nobody had plans on streaming Christmas movies....

It's back. Amazon AWS went down yesterday, taking a small part of the Internet with it - one of the drawbacks of stuff in the cloud.

[Lucky]

All of The West Wing is now on there.

That is enough for me to get Netflix again. Merry Christmas, self.

[Kiusagi]

I've never seen an episode. Is still worth watching even though it will be dated (politics wise)?.

I'd say so. I don't like politics at all, but the characters and dialogue kept me engaged. It's also very funny in that Sorkin kind of way, of course. I can only vouch for the first three seasons, though. I hear it took a slight dip in quality after Sorkin left.

[EyesWideOpen]

Added: How to Survive a Plague

[EyesWideOpen]

One for the Money was added just in time for end of the year top ten lists.

[Derek]

One for the Money was added just in time for end of the year top ten lists.

That one looks like a shoe-in for MC's Top 10 Movies That Exist from 2012.

[Skitch]

Terminator 2, The Frightners, The Warriors, Planes Trains and Automobiles, The Usual Suspects, Red Lights, Wargames, The Untouchables, Sum Of All Fears, Iron Sky, Millers Crossing, Escape From Alcatraz, Star Trek: Nemesis, Sahara, Rosemarys Baby.

And here's the retaliation.


HBO today has won a battle in the over-the-top content wars. The pay-TV giant has inked a deal with Universal Pictures that extends Universal Pictures’ and Focus Features’ films appearing on HBO’s TV, online and mobile platforms in the U.S. for the next decade. What’s key is that the deal is exclusive to HBO and will mean that Netflix (and other OTT players) will not get that content: “Yes, it is exclusive. Netflix can’t touch it,” a spokesperson told TechCrunch. HBO also has exclusive deals with Fox, Warner Bros, and Summit, in addition to Universal.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/06/hbo-inks-exclusive-deal-with-universal-to-keep-content-out-of-netflixs-hands/

Not gonna see any Universal movies on IW any time soon.

[Dukefrukem]

HBO Go FTW!

[Thirdmango]

sounds like I'm good having both.

[Dukefrukem]

Speaking of HBO, they have the worst streaming quality out of the big three. (netflix, amazon, hbo go)

[D_Davis]

When is HBO going to realize that they are not competing with Netflix? They are competing against the Pirate Bay.

[number8]

When is HBO going to realize that they are not competing with Netflix? They are competing against the Pirate Bay.

What? What does that even mean? Of course their competition is other content providers.

[D_Davis]

What? What does that even mean? Of course their competition is other content providers.

It means it doesn't matter, because people who want to see their content will get it by the easiest means necessary. Check Netflix. Not there? Check Hulu. Not there? Checked out at Redbox/video store? Fuck it, Pirate Bay.

They're still playing by the old rules.

I doubt they'll even be around another 10 years in their current form.

Cable television as these dinosaurs know it is dying fast.

[Neclord]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A_37tnuCIAA6emj.jpg:large

Kind of interesting. The cropped version of Ghost Protocol shows more of the IMAX frame than the Blu-ray does.

[Dead & Messed Up]

HBO's very clearly trying to adapt to the streaming market with HBOGo, and given Netflix's newfound interest in original programming (Lilyhammer, Arrested Development, etc.), I think it's fair to call the two competitors.

[ledfloyd]

if HBOgo was available without a cable package for $8-10/month i would definitely be a subscriber.

[Kurosawa Fan]

if HBOgo was available without a cable package for $8-10/month i would definitely be a subscriber.

Yep. Until then, I don't care. Not paying for their channel, which is $15/month.

[Ivan Drago]

A good friend of mine generously offered me access to his HBO Go account when he moved down here. Needless to say, it's awesome.

[number8]

They're now streaming in 1080p!!!! Yesss!!!

It's labeled "Super HD" lol.

[number8]

Hmm, apparently not all ISPs support it. Only Cablevision/Optimum and Google Fiber in the US so far

Shit, I lucked out big time. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

[NickGlass]

I just received an e-mail from Netflix informing me that Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is now available on streaming. I ad successfully forgetten its existence, and now they're taunting me; I almost feel provoked to cancel my subscription.

[number8]

Holy shit. Netflix just signed a deal with Turner, which will include shows from TNT, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.

Which means...


Complete past seasons of Cartoon Network shows such as Adventure Time, Ben 10, Regular Show, Johnny Bravo, and Warner Bros. Animation's Green Lantern will be made available on the Netflix "Just for Kids" section beginning March 30.

At the same time, Adult Swim shows like Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as well as Sony Pictures Television's The Boondocks, and Childrens Hospital from WBTVG's Studio 2.0 will also hit Netflix.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2414269,00.asp

I own every season of that show aside from the currently airing fourth season. My entire family absolutely loves it, wife included (who usually doesn't go for that sort of thing). It is random zaniness, but with characters that display such genuine solicitude that it's seemingly impossible not to make an emotional connection. Oh, and it's downright hilarious.

[number8]

I know, I've watched most of the episodes, but always random samplings of them whenever I get the chance. I can't wait to be able to sit down and just run through them.

And even though ATHF has jumped the shark, its still worth viewing from time to time. It should probably end at some point, but its become Adult Swim's Simpsons, where its no longer great but is their main tentpole, or something.

[Mysterious Dude]

Man, I forgot that show was still running. I felt it jumped the shark a few years ago. Has it improved?
I haven't watched it since I cut the cord a year ago. I often enjoyed it, but there are certain episodes I probably won't watch again.

Zombieland TV Show in the works for Netflix

[dreamdead]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned here, but the documentary 5 Broken Cameras is available for viewing. That fact altered our Tulsa plans, so we're now seeing the Oscar Documentary Short Subject program tonight...

[EyesWideOpen]

They just added a bunch of Kino and other companies 1910-1930 movies.

[kopello]

Yep, I added a bunch of the aforementioned titles to my queue, as well as an obscure Suzuki with the amazing title Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards. Some of the more obscure Bavas have been added as well, including the underrated 5 Dolls for an August Moon and Hatchet for the Honeymoon.

So Groundhog Day gets removed from Instant Watch... the day before Groundhog Day.

I've noticed that habit... They also remove the classic horror movies in October and restore them later. I think it might be some kinda mandate by the studios to force them to buy the DVDs on those special occasions?

[Spun Lepton]

I just discovered that Netflix added two horrors I want to recommend. Hatchet for the Honeymoon, one of my favorite Bava movies. And Asphyx, a low-budget horror from the 70s that manages to overcome some unintentional camp by delivering a really good story.

[EyesWideOpen]

Compliance and Jack & Diane were added.

[Skitch]

Futurama season 7, Ji-Woon Kim's DOOMSDAY BOOK! Can't wait to watch that one.

I've found this useful:

http://www.canistream.it/

You can look up film titles and find out where it's available and for how much. The service searches across a multitude of sites, including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes, Crackle, and Vudu.

Some of the information can be out of date, but it's helpful if you're trying to find out whether something is available for streaming at all, or if you're looking to shop around on price.

At least I don't think you've watched that one yet.I still do need to see that one, and ditto Love Exposure while I'm at it.

I still do need to see that one, and ditto Love Exposure while I'm at it. The epic running times have scared me away from both, especially since being worn down by Cold Fish, but I should know better given that those films have much stronger reputations.

I really like Love Exposure, but I can't pretend it flew by. Still, I've seen a number of films an hour shorter that have felt just as long. He miraculously manages to keep it lively and coherent even if it's a sprawling mess. Noriko's is only a shade past 2 1/2 hours and I loved every minute of it. Unlike LE, it gets better as it goes along.

[ledfloyd]

I liked Love Exposure significantly more than Noriko's (and would argue LE feels shorter), but I wouldn't discourage anyone from watching either. Cold Fish on the other hand...

Just leave the damn show alone, for the love of God...

[MadMan]

Adventure Time and Regular Show. Sweet.I'm glad I waited for both to hit Instant Viewing. I've seen a few episodes of Adventure Time and loved what I saw. Regular Show is something I'm going to check out.

[EyesWideOpen]

Looks like only the first season of all those shows is on instant. That makes that whole deal pretty much a bust.

[number8]

They have every season of the older shows like PPG, Dexter's Lab, Batman Beyond, Justice League, etc. But newer shows like Adventure Time, Mystery Inc, Boondocks, etc are only the first season for now.

[Skitch]

Why is that a bust? I'm looking forward to seeing these shows.

[EyesWideOpen]

I checked three series and none of them had more then season 1. Foster's, Samurai Jack and Adventure Time. If I'm gonna watch one of theses shows I want to watch all of it not just one season and in the case of show's like Foster's the dvds are out of print and netflix doesn't even carry them so to watch anything past season 1 you'd have to pirate.

[number8]

I'm really enjoying their April Fools categories.

I just got "Movies Starring Actors Who Look Like Zach Galifianakis"

[number8]

Heh heh.

[Lucky]

Weren't they supposed to unveil a new original series today?

[ledfloyd]

They have every season of the older shows like PPG, Dexter's Lab, Batman Beyond, Justice League, etc. But newer shows like Adventure Time, Mystery Inc, Boondocks, etc are only the first season for now.
Only the first three seasons of PPG, unfortunately. Also, only the first two of Dexter.

[Ivan Drago]

What's currently up of each show is A-OK with me for now. I'm sure the more people watch, the more seasons will be added.

[number8]

Only the first three seasons of PPG, unfortunately. Also, only the first two of Dexter.

That's too bad about PPG, but IIRC, Dexter's original run was only 2 seasons. They revived it several years later in the early 2000s, but without the original creative team, because by that point, Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken and Seth MacFarlane all had their own new shows.

[Ivan Drago]

I'm three episodes into Regular Show, and I want more than what Netflix has. The Don Hertzfeldt influence is everywhere.

[Mysterious Dude]

A ton of movies are expiring May 1st (http://instantwatcher.com/titles/expiring). A lot of them are older titles. I wonder what the connection is.

[EyesWideOpen]

That happens almost every month and then they are renewed and back up in a couple of days.

[Mysterious Dude]

That happens almost every month and then they are renewed and back up in a couple of days.I have seen that happen sometimes, but not every time. The last time I saw so many movies expiring all at once was when they lost all the Starz! movies (which did not come back in a couple of days).

[number8]

They just added Pi, Streets of Fire, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Hunger Games, Witness, Man on the Moon, Rain Man, Roman Holiday, Pet Sematary, 48 Hrs, Along Came a Spider, Braveheart, Cool World, Footloose, Hatfield & McCoys, and most importantly...

Over the Top

Not bad.

[Dukefrukem]

Now I can finally watch Man on the Moon

[Rowland]

Also lots of Bond
Girl Model (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/girl_model/)
This Must Be the Place
Neil Jordan's resplendent The Good Thief
Van Damme's Lionheart
Kriemhild's Revenge is now up, so the entirety of Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen is streaming. I think I'll tackle it soon. Ditto Lang's very early, little seen Harakiri.

[number8]

Man, I cannot keep up with all these Cartoon Network shows they put up. Cow and Chicken, Codename: Kids Next Door, Courage, Billy and Mandy. The nostalgia is crazy.

[dreamdead]

Holy Motors and Hong Sang-soo's In Another Country!

[Gizmo]

The fact that my daughter watches Dora and Diego and Barney and the like during the day when I'm sleeping really throws off my recommendations for the nights I'm off looking for something to watch.

[Skitch]

:lol:

Yep, I got a slew of infant recs and 8 year-old-girl recs.

[Skitch]

http://www.streamingsoon.com/

Bummer. I liked that site.

[EyesWideOpen]

Alps and ParaNorman added. Along with Hemlock Grove which was added today.

[Dukefrukem]

http://instantwatcher.com/ still good.

[Dukefrukem]

Fringe on Netflix finally. BUt only 4 seasons which is weird.

I hate how Amazon doesn't tell you which episode you just watched...

[Dukefrukem]

Oh and the documentary Bully is on NF too.

[number8]

Fringe on Netflix finally. BUt only 4 seasons which is weird.

Season 5 DVD isn't even out yet.

[Dukefrukem]

Well I can stream it on Amazon....

[number8]

Yes, for $2 an ep. Amazon had them up the day after they aired.

[Dukefrukem]

Ah. I didn't notice the BUY NOW button. Still on Season 3.

[number8]

First season of Copper added. I guess.

[Skitch]

Safe and The Paperboy.

[Dukefrukem]

Safe is fun as hell for the first half.

[Skitch]

Safe is fun as hell for the first half.

I really liked all of it. I think its The Stath's best movie.

[number8]

In case you haven't heard: tomorrow 1,800 movies from WB, MGM and Universal will become exclusive to Warners' own streaming service and disappear from Netflix IW.

Here's the list. (http://instantwatcher.com/titles/expiring)

[Skitch]

SUCK.

[Lazlo]

And the consumer loses. Who the fuck uses Warners streaming?

[Irish]

Short list of unavailable titles & a little bit more info. Apparently, Netflix is looking to do away with customizable queues (?!):

[ledfloyd]

That's lame, but I welcome the option to sort by title or year.

[Mysterious Dude]

I tried to warn you all.

[Derek]

That's lame, but I welcome the option to sort by title or year.

I actually like the new queue better, but I only use Netflix through a PS3 so the customizable queue order lost most of its purpose once I went streaming only.

[Rowland]

I decided to watch a few of the films on my queue that are about to disappear. So far, I just finished John Hyams' obscure Busting, which I gave a shot due to some trending popularity on Letterboxd, and yeah, it's pretty good. Next up will be Sergio Corbucci's Navajo Joe because it's one of Tarantino's favorite spaghetti westerns, and Burt Reynolds considers it the worst professional experience of his career.

[Skitch]

Apparently, Netflix is looking to do away with customizable queues (?!):

Wait, what? So we wont be able to arrange things in our queue? That would be a major pain in my ass.

[Robby P]

Damn it, I kept putting off watching Kes and now it looks like I won't get the chance.

[number8]

They just added Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo today.

[number8]

Also, the Van Damme Street Fighter. You're welcome.

[Spun Lepton]

Also, the Van Damme Street Fighter. You're welcome.

HAH! I remember when this hit VHS. Bac0n rented it, but was unable to watch it with the rest of our group for some reason. We all watched it and warned him not to. He did anyway. He expressed regret.

It's bad. It's damn bad.

[Irish]

Also, the Van Damme Street Fighter. You're welcome.

Ah, yes. Van Damme in his prime beating the ever loving shit out of a cancer ridden Raoul Julia. Instant classic.

=/

[number8]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[Skitch]

Van Damme Street Fighter is amusingly terrible. The Legend Of Chun Li is pipe-exhaust-from-your-car-to-your-throat terrible. Winner, Van Damme.

*runs off to make a banner of Van Damme Street Fighter final shot*

[Irish]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

:P

The Cabin in the Woods
John Dies at the End

[Dukefrukem]

Linked FB account with Netflix. Mwhahahahhaa. I see your stuff now FK.

[MadMan]

The Cabin in the Woods
John Dies at the EndWell shit now I have no excuse not to watch either one.

I'm sticking with Netflix, but the recent news makes me wonder why I bother at times.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Linked FB account with Netflix. Mwhahahahhaa. I see your stuff now FK.

I linked mine awhile ago but I don't know what that accomplished. Where do I see my friend's viewing/ratings?

It's actually not that intuitive. When you scroll down on Netflix homepage, it has 2 sections: Friends' Favorites, and Watched by your friends. In the latter section you can click on your friends and see what they watched recently. You're watching too much TV.

Ha! My wife was laid up with kidney stones for much of the last two weeks. That would help explain the TV shows. The only TV shows I'm currently watching on Netflix are Star Trek and Bob's Burgers. At least, I think that's all. Anything else would be my kids or my wife.

Ha! Just finished Star Trek Voyager and Bobs Burgers S2.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Longmire Season 1. I saw a trailer for season 2 at the movies and looked pretty interesting.

[ledfloyd]

Uh... what's going on here?

[Dukefrukem]

Mine's doing the same thing.

[EyesWideOpen]

End of Watch is up.

[slqrick]

TRON: Uprising available.

[Derek]

Neighbouring Sounds was just added.

[Skitch]

Apocalypse Now and Redux version
Brubaker (excellent Redford flick)
A bunch of Disney Animated classics
Chasing Ice
Platoon
Tetro
Friday the 13th part 3-8
Hatchet 2

[number8]

The Goosebumps TV series and Magic School Bus added.

[Ezee E]

Any chance The Simpsons would be added? That would be the best thing ever.

[ledfloyd]

Any chance The Simpsons would be added? That would be the best thing ever.
Or worst thing ever. I would get nothing done. Ever.

[Mysterious Dude]

Seinfeld is the one I'm waiting for.

[Dukefrukem]

Both of those will never happen. There's a reason why the Simpons isn't on Adult Swim ... it's way too expensive to license. FOX makes enough money through syndication.

[Skitch]

Seinfeld is the one I'm waiting for.

Crackle has some random Seinfeld episodes every month. Its free and can scratch the itch.

[Watashi]

They added An Extremely Goofy Movie for those who are curious to see the sequel to The Greatest Film Ever Made™.

Hint: It's not good.
