The Netflix Thread

[number8]

If they added Goofy Movie I'd be pretty pissed, since I just bought a copy on Amazon Instant a few weeks ago.

[number8]

Whoa, they just added Upstream Color.

[Dead & Messed Up]

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/ledfloyd18/mysteryqueue.png

Uh... what's going on here?

"Yeah, I've got this new indie movie on my queue right now. It's pretty obscure. You wouldn't know its name."

[MadMan]

So are the reviews saying that the version of Holy Motors on Instant Viewing being censored true? I sure hope not...

[Pop Trash]

Did you see Denis Lavant's boner? If not, it's censored.

[MadMan]

Did you see Denis Lavant's boner? If not, it's censored.Heh is that why they are referring to? I haven't seen the movie yet. I just want to know if anything had been cut out.

[number8]

Why would they censor that? There are way more explicit movies on Netflix.

[Skitch]

Silent Hill Revelation added.

[Dukefrukem]

Silent Hill Revelation added.

And it's awful.

[Skitch]

So I've heard, but I have to see it.

[Spun Lepton]

And it's awful.

Sounds like a great film for my thread.

[Rowland]

It's not that bad.

[D_Davis]

I want to see it, just because the first one is on my top 10 worst films of all-time list.

[Skitch]

I want to see it, just because the first one is on my top 10 worst films of all-time list.

Sheesh it isn't THAT bad.

[Mysterious Dude]

Netflix wasn't working last night, so I decided to get Hulu Plus. I had almost forgotten what commercials were like. I watched the first episode of The Thick of It, and there were four commercial breaks in a show that's 30 minutes long. How can they call that "limited commercial interruptions"?

The Criterion films are fortunately commercial free.

Because actual broadcast commercials are much, much longer.

[Spinal]

Did you see Denis Lavant's boner? If not, it's censored.

Was that his actual unit? I guess I assumed it was a prosthetic.

[Russ]

I assumed it was Viagra.

[Sycophant]

Maybe he's born with it.
Maybe it's...

[number8]

No, he merely adopted the boner. I was born with it, molded by it.

[ThePlashyBubbler]

Because actual Lavant boners are much, much longer.

[Spinal]

The avatars corresponding to the last four posts are perfectly suited.

[Derek]

The avatars corresponding to the last four posts are perfectly suited.

I just enjoy that I wake up in the morning and check this thread to see if there were any good new additions to Netflix only to be accosted by more Denis Lavant boner posts before I've finished first cup of coffee.

Then I come home and watch The Lovers on the Bridge and what do you know, two-thirds of the way through, there's Denis Lavant running naked on the beach for a good 30 seconds with a RAGING boner. So raging in fact that Juliette Binoche grabs it as they're running as if it were a baton. An amazing film, but June 17th 2013 will be forever remembered as the day Denis Lavant's boner haunted me from morning til night.

[Spinal]

Between his raging boner and his gamey eyeball, dude is pretty unsettling.

[ledfloyd]

Denis Lavant is maybe the greatest purely physical actor working today. Don't think the boners don't play into that assessment.

[Skitch]

And it's awful.

You were right.

The Avengers will be available to stream tomorrow.

I demand you all watch Miami Connection. :pritch:

[Stay Puft]

Miami Connection was added? That movie is rad.

[Skitch]

Ninja motorcycle gang. If those three words don't entice a viewing, you're dead inside. This movie is so fucking great.

[EyesWideOpen]

Watched it last night. It doesn't reach the awesome levels of The Room or Troll 2 but it's fun to watch. Needed less action scenes though. If I ever rewatched it I'd FF the action scenes they were just straight up boring instead of the badly awesome the rest of the scenes were.

[Stay Puft]

Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace.

[Thirdmango]

Netflix sent me an email to announce that The Avengers was now on instant.

[MadMan]

Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace."I don't think this is the welcome wagon." That movie kicked ass (I just watched it on Instant Viewing tonight). I would love to see a double bill of Riki-Oh and Miami Connection.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

[Mysterious Dude]

Looks like we're losing some Masterpiece Theatre-ish stuff like Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey. I enjoyed the two episodes of Poldark I saw.

[Spun Lepton]

Branded appears to have just been added. In case nobody remembers (shock!), it's supposed to be a sci-fi-ish satire about advertising that had a compelling trailer, but was destroyed by reviewers. Most of them said it was dull and occasionally funny for all the wrong reasons. I'm still curious.

Downton Abbey is going exclusive to Amazon.

[Gizmo]

Seeing Madea's Witness Protection in my top 10 recommendations reminds me 2 things: 1) Netflix has no clue about what I want to watch, and 2) Goddamn there's a lot of Madea movies, and I have zero desire to see any of them.

[Mysterious Dude]

Netflix thinks I would love My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I really don't want to be one of those guys.

[Gizmo]

Netflix thinks I would love My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I really don't want to be one of those guys.

Mine does too, but that's because my 4 year old watches that stuff all the time.

[number8]

I watched the first two seasons and it recommended me the third. I mean, really, netflix?

[EyesWideOpen]

Monkeybone was just added for anyone who hates themselves.

[Skitch]

Expendables 2 added.

[Gizmo]

Expendables 2 added.

Alright! Now I can see if I can surpass the 7 minutes I made it into the first one!

[Skitch]

Sounds like you gave it a real fair shake.

[Gizmo]

Sounds like you gave it a real fair shake.

I did. I never intended to start the film, but I thought "what the hell, it can't be that bad, can it?" I really don't like mindless action films, and Expendibles is made to be exactly that. All of the stars in it are stars of movies I generally avoid.

Ah, I see. That's understandable then. The only films I turn off that quick begin with "The Asylum presents..."

[Skitch]

Thanks to number8's "30 overlooked films of the last 3 years" article, I sought out and found that Dogtooth, Bellflower, and The Unjust are all available to stream. Thanks, 8.

I just watched the movie. It was very good, as expected from Baumbach. He hasn't let me down yet, and now I really want to see his most recent one, Frances Ha. That Greta Gerwig is some kind of charmer.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added The League Season 4 which just came out today on dvd/blu.

To The Wonder will be going on my Netflix queue. I think I'll try and rent the two other Malicks I haven't seen (Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line) and watch those before viewing To The Wonder. Reminds me that I re-watched Badlands last night on Criterion.

Sadly, I beat you to this...

[Skitch]

Sadly, I beat you to this...

Ugh. Two people too many have seen this film.

[Spun Lepton]

I watched Apollo 18 last night. What a dumb movie.

Their first mistake was setting a found-footage movie 1970s, which makes all the bad camera stuff stand out all that much more. Apparently there are cameras ALL OVER THE PLACE, but you never see any unless one of the characters is carrying it. Naturally, all of the footage looks a lot better than it should, even with all of the post-production filtering.

I'll spoil this out of respect for any poor fool, like myself, foolish enough to watch it like a foolish fool.

When I heard the beasts they encounter were "rock monsters," I imagined huge, hulking things, not ... tennis-ball sized rock spiders that can interfere with radio transmissions AND control people's minds. They're just so absurd and specific to the movie's needs that it becomes a joke by the end.

3/10

[Skitch]

I watched that too. Really struggled to stay awake the whole time.

Oh, sure, skip the only two good Death Wish. That makes sense.

Oh, sure, skip the only two good Death Wish. That makes sense.I like 4 better than 3. We can all agree that the 5th one sucked though, right?

[Pop Trash]

I like 4 better than 3. We can all agree that the 5th one sucked though, right?

I haven't seen 4 but 3 is up there with Commando and Road House as the epitome of excessive 80s action trash.

[MadMan]

I haven't seen 4 but 3 is up there with Commando and Road House as the epitome of excessive 80s action trash.Oh I agree. 4 is even more over the top and outlandish, although I think 3 beats it out in terms of ridiculous 80s cheesiness.

Duuude. A Band Called Death, Wake in Fright,

Nice, these two will definitely happen soon. Almost took a 45-minute drive to see Band... but felt confident Netflix would get it in about this length of time. Anyone listened to the actual album to tell how unique it is for the time, race excluded...?

[number8]

It's a really good album, but hardly unique. Iggy Pop and MC5 were already famous doing the proto-punk thing years before. It was the popular garage sound in Detroit when Death was formed, in fact. The documentary conveniently ignored this.

[eternity]

Apparently Salinger is up?

[MadMan]

Duuude. A Band Called Death, Pieta, Wake in Fright, Graceland and Wrong all up.Wake In Fright has been added to my queue. It will be watched.

[Ezee E]

Frances Ha. Nice.

[MadMan]

You have to turn off the English subtitles for Only God Forgives. Then the Thai ones come on. I watched it last night.

[Skitch]

I watched the first 30 min, there was nothing. I turned on english, it was just closed captioned for sounds and when they spoke english. Maybe I should try it on a different device.

[number8]

Same here. No subtitles come on for me.

[eternity]

Frances Ha (which is weird because it just came out on Criterion tuesday)


IFC has a deal with Criterion for a certain number of films each year AND a deal with Netflix where their films end up on there the same day as their DVD release. Tiny Furniture did the same thing, and I assume Blue Is the Warmest Color will too.

[EyesWideOpen]

I thought the netflix deal was dead and they now have exclusive rights with Hulu.

[MadMan]

I watched the first 30 min, there was nothing. I turned on english, it was just closed captioned for sounds and when they spoke english. Maybe I should try it on a different device.

Weird. Because I watched it on my laptop and when I turned off the English subtitles the Thai ones came on.

[number8]

I thought the netflix deal was dead and they now have exclusive rights with Hulu.

Hulu has a deal directly with Criterion for their catalog, but individual studios can still pen a deal for a physical release with Criterion and a streaming deal with Netflix if they want to. There's still a bunch of newer Criterion movies on Netflix for that reason.

[Skitch]

Tested for subtitles for Only God Forgives on my laptop, works fine. Must be a Roku issue.

[ledfloyd]

Looks like I'll be giving Drug War another look tonight.

[Rowland]

Berberian Sound Studio and Sightseers are up, both of which I had significant issues with but would recommend on the whole. The first two films in Ulrich Seidl's Paradise trilogy are streaming as well, of which I've only seen Faith and while my response ultimately leaned negative, it has worthy qualities for those interested; the general consensus seems to be that it's the weakest of the three anyway, which reminds me that I should give Love a look.

I will view both films at some point Rowland. I'm also happy that finally Lost Girl Season 3 is on Instant Viewing. About time.

It's a really good album, but hardly unique. Iggy Pop and MC5 were already famous doing the proto-punk thing years before. It was the popular garage sound in Detroit when Death was formed, in fact. The documentary conveniently ignored this.

THANK YOU. I thought the film was pretty good, but it seriously annoyed me that the MC5 and The Stooges were never so much as mentioned in the film. And they were Detroit bands! The Punk Singer was the best rock-doc I saw last year.

[EyesWideOpen]

They also added director's commentary to season 1 of House of Cards which is a pretty cool idea.

[MadMan]

Been meaning to watch Mandy Lane.Same here. I'm glad I don't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail.

[eternity]

Both Plush and As I Lay Dying were added if you want to watch two of the (unintentionally) funniest movies made in recent memory.

I think Punchdrunk Love MAY be on it as well.

AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

[MadMan]

Well shit. I have much to watch then.

[MadMan]

Also I wanted to start at the beginning. PTA strikes me as a director who's work you have to view all the way through from start to whenever their finished.

[wigwam]

this explains so much...

[Ezee E]

Also I wanted to start at the beginning. PTA strikes me as a director who's work you have to view all the way through from start to whenever their finished.

Well, enjoy yourself. Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood are all probably in my top 100. Boogie Nights in my top ten.

[ledfloyd]

1. Punch-Drunk Love
2. The Master
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Boogie Nights
5. Hard Eight
6. Magnolia

[Derek]

And just when I start thinking Madman can't baffle me any more than he has, he pulls out a trump card like this. I don't know how it's possible to be on a site dedicated to movies for the past decade and to never have gotten around to seeing any PTA films. But kudos, you have some damn fine cinema on your docket.

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Punch-Drunk Love
3. Magnolia
4. Boogie Nights
5. The Master
6. Hard Eight

Like E, the top 3 are top 100 quality and the next two pretty close to masterpieces. He's the best American filmmaker alive, no question.

[Skitch]

I'm most in line with Derek.

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Punch Drunk Love (might actually be a tie for first)
3. The Master

My current favorite working director.

1. Magnolia
2. There Will Be Blood
3. Boogie Nights

[Ezee E]

I just never got around to it. On my defense I only seriously got into film my freshman year of college. That explains some of it.

DECLINED reason MadMan. :lol:

REDEMPTION is making a thread about your thoughts as you watch every PTA movie for the first time ever.

[MadMan]

Nah. I'll write reviews of them at some point.

[Derek]

Nah. I'll write reviews of them never.

Translated from Madmanese to English.

I do think a thread would be cool since it'd be interesting to see how someone reacts to seeing all of PTAs films for the first time.

[MadMan]

You folks know about my laziness. And I'm done making new threads.

[Ezee E]

You folks know about my laziness. And I'm done making new threads.

Well, either way, at least post your thoughts afterwards. I look forward to film buffs seeing PTA for the first time ever.

I remember Boogie Nights for the first time. I actually came across it midway, expecting mostly porn, and coming across the donut/roller girl/truck scene, and realizing the movie was a masterpiece off that scene alone for a whole different reason. I finished watching it, and caught the encore of it at 1 AM, and watched it all the way through.

Then I watched it once more the next day.

[number8]

On the other hand, he now has the opportunity to watch his filmography in chronological order.

How many of you started with Hard Eight instead of Boogie Nights?

[MadMan]

Cool. I will be bumping old threads of course. I will consider a directors thread maybe. The site's userbase isn't what it used be.

[Skitch]

On the other hand, he now has the opportunity to watch his filmography in chronological order.

How many of you started with Hard Eight instead of Boogie Nights?

I started with Magnolia.

[Dukefrukem]

Not a PTA fan. Probably my least favorite director next to Terrance Mallick. I hate most of his movies with the exception of Punch Drunk Love and Boogie Nights.

[dreamdead]

With PTA I'm most interested in how Inherent Vice is regarded after the general critical rhapsody over The Master. It feels like it could elicit a general Coen Brothers Fargo-to-The Big Lebowski mourning in the moment, and that fallout after "big themes" films intrigue me.

Anderson and Phoenix are fascinating together, I will say. Much prefer his 2000s work to his '90s work, which feels too indebted to earlier directors.

[Spun Lepton]

MadMan, you need to see There Will Be Blood, and quick.

[Gizmo]

So I was looking at PTA filmography just now to put in my 2cents/rankings and came to a couple realizations: A) I thought he did more films, looks like there's only 6 full length films so far and B) The Master was PTA? I missed that note, I'll move it up my need to watch ASAP list.

Also, I don't love all his films, but really appreciate them:

1. Magnolia = top 10ish

2. There Will be Blood = very good
3. Boogie Nights = Good(?) Haven't seen in forever, needs rewatch

4. Punch Drunk Love = Did not enjoy when I saw it, due a rewatch. Good Sandler acting.

5. Hard Eight/The Master/Inherent Vice = Still to come(?)

[ledfloyd]

Yeah, it just seemed odd to me that PTA would be someone's least favorite filmmaker. I'm not a huge fan (outside of The Master and PDL), but it's hard not to admire his talent. He's interesting, which is more than you can say about most directors.

[eternity]

There are one or two PTA movies that I cannot stand, but as a young American movie viewer with no worse than middlebrow sensibilities (which I think would be a fair description of Duke and many others here as well), you can do SO MUCH WORSE. Hell, many of the prominent blockbuster filmmakers alone are both 1. unavoidable and 2. almost undeniably worse than Paul Thomas Anderson.

Why does middlebrow have to sound so degrading?

[Derek]

Why does middlebrow have to sound so degrading?

Because it pretty much is.


middlebrow

— n
1. a person with conventional tastes and limited cultural appreciation

[eternity]

Pretend I said a nicer sounding word. Something between Joe Popcorn and Cahiers du cinema.

[MadMan]

I can see why someone wouldn't care for PTA's films almost, but Malick's works are not as abstract as people think they are. Nevermind that though Duke you didn't at least like Badlands? If there was one movie even Malick's haters could like it would be that film.

I was probably exaggerating when I said I "hate" him because you're exactly right; I can list a dozen big directors where I have't liked a single movie they made and I fully admitted to liking two PTA films. I get frustrated with the praise sometimes and my posts show up as hyperbole.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added all of An Idiot Abroad which is fantastic television.

Also added The Act of Killing.

[wigwam]

I recommend A Werewolf Boy

[Skitch]

Man Of Tai Chi added. I'm really excited/curious about that one!

[EyesWideOpen]

Bates Motel Season 1 (been wanting to see this)

[Bandy Greensacks]

Not a PTA fan. I hate most of his movies with the exception of Punch Drunk Love and Boogie Nights.
Why?

Probably my least favorite director next to Terrance Mallick.
Why?

[wigwam]

I recommend Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy

[EyesWideOpen]

It's a bunch of stuff that was already up before that expired and they've now renewed.

[Mysterious Dude]

Some of them definitely look familiar. I don't remember them having Taxi Driver, though.

[Skitch]

I know a bunch are renewals, but maybe someone didn't get to see em before they last expired.

[Spun Lepton]

Awesome. Easy Rider can sit unwatched in my queue for another 4 years. :|

[MadMan]

I'm sure I'd be tarred and feathered by many of Match-Cut if I admitted to all of the classic cinema I have not yet witnessed.

[MadMan]

Nah don't worry. The mob is too busy chasing me.

Ok.

But next time you write "Hitler" I'm going to say:

Because I feel like that's a worse crime.

I just added PBS to my Roku. Tried to play Sherlock, and got this message: "An error occurred during playback. Please try again later." I will try again later, but something tells me that's not going to help.

The only thing that sucks is that they are already on season 6 and netflix is just now getting season 2.

[Spun Lepton]

I combed the New Releases, Recommended For You, and Sci-Fi sections of Netflix looking for Into Darkness and didn't find it anywhere. I ran a search, and there it was. I have EVERY STAR TREK THING on Netflix queued RIGHT NOW. I have been watching Star Trek almost obsessively for the last six months. It makes absolutely no sense I couldn't find it by browsing. This is irritating, because I wouldn't have known it was available if it weren't for these posts. It's kinda bullshit.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: as much as I love Netflix, they are terrible at recommendations and informing customers of new releases. Its silly that the best up to date info out there is provided by non-Netflix websites.

For all the ratings that you can provide, it sure seems like Netflix should get a good idea of someone's taste of movies, actors, directors...

Yes, one of the things that annoyed me the most.
