    I think the algorithms are much more attuned to genre than actors or directors, but yeah, they aren't terribly helpful.

    I'm always amused that I get recommendations based one movie I watched. And sometimes I don't even like the movie I watched, and yet they are offering recs based off a movie I didn't care for.

    Yeah, I may start something and decide I don't care for it after 20 minutes and turn it off. Then I get a whole list of recommendations based on the fact that I started it.

    Those are amazing.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    For people who like awesome cartoons, Adventure Time Season 2

    For people who like lame cartoons, Regular Show Season 2
    I was just going back through this thread looking for viewing ideas and came across this. I greatly prefer Regular Show to Adventure Time. It's not even close.

    Ew. Your taste is usually fairly well lined up with mine. Not sure I've ever disagreed with you so strongly.

    I think you guys are just underestimating Regular Show.

    Definitely not. My kids watch both. Adventure Time has a sweetness that's present through all the random and demented humor. It is vastly superior to Regular Show.

    I find Adventure Time and Regular Show watchable, but nothing extraordinary. I realize that I may feel this way toward these shows because I'm old and not their demographic. That said, Adventure Time's uniqueness makes it stand out from Regular Show.

    I just feel like I'm humoring Adventure Time a lot more often. The premise intrigues me, but I spend a lot of time merely tolerating it. It seems much more directed towards children, and if I was in the target demographic I would probably prefer it.

    Regular Show is much more on my wavelength at this point in my life.

    For me, both of them are great in their own way. Adventure Time is a cartoon with substance, a trippy visual style, and a major Don Hertzfeldt influence. Regular Show is a cartoon that's hilarious in every facet, from its visual jokes, the banter between its main characters, and its concept of making normal life abnormal. Plus, it has an anthropomorphic gumball machine and a blue jay named Mordecai.

    I love Adventure Time to death but I feel like major hurdle for people getting into it that if they start from the beginning, so much of the first season is made up of its most basic and self-contained stories that don't amount to much other than some hilarious but mostly inconsequential gags and ideas. Once things become more serialized, surreal and even gorgeously esoteric with long-term repercussions (particularly in Season 5 and what's out so far of Season 6), it truly becomes something entirely its own, especially for something objectively intended for kids.

    I mean, this is a show that's giving Masaaki Yuasa free rein for an entire episode next month:



    Regular Show, on the other hand, is... alright I guess. Some of the stories are fun and it definitely has a cool universe that I find myself liking a lot of stuff in, but I honestly just find Mordecai and Rigby to be such annoying sociopaths that I always wished the show would find some ways to throw consequences or even hackneyed lessons their way, or at the very least center its storylines around the other characters. I really feel like the voice acting for the two of them is so obnoxiously overplayed and sucks the comedy out of so much of that goes on too. Maybe it's similar to Adventure Time in that changes over time, but I'm not sure how much I care since I really couldn't bother making it through that first season.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    For those of you on letterboxd or if you haven't seen a need for it, one cool thing is they now have a search where you can find movies based on if they're on netflix instant. So for instance here are the movies from 1976 that are on netflix instant:

    http://letterboxd.com/films/popular/...nt/size/small/

    and here are the films directed by Woody Allen that are on netflix instant:

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I'm not a pro user.

    Hmmm, I tried it off of a browser not connected to my account and it does say you need to be pro. I just told a friend who also doesn't have pro and he can do it. And I'm fairly certain Duke isn't a pro member either so you probably just have to be logged in?
