The Netflix Thread

[Kurosawa Fan]

Pretend we're at a bar, and you ask me what I'm watching on TV, and I respond everything on TV is crap. Would this be something you'd try to break down logically and try to prove to me that what I said is so untrue that I am ignorant for having said it? Or would you laugh it off and think oh that's Duke being Duke and carry on to the next topic? Also factor in that you've known me for around 10 years.

But that's not what you did. I brought up Brooklyn Nine-Nine and you responded "I don't watch crap TV shows." So in your bar example, I (or DaMU) would be discussing Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and you would chime in "That show is crap" without ever having seen an episode. That's why it's an ignorant comment.

I did exactly what you did the other day when I posted something as funny and you said it's not. The only difference is I was trying to make a joke of it... calling something you think is funny not funny, when it was supposed to be obvious I have never watched a single minute of the show, and have no idea if it's funny or not.

In short, I was calling something crap, for the sake of just making it fit my argument thinking we'd do a quick back and forth and it snowballed into this.

Well, if that was your intention, I obviously missed it completely. And I did that to you about yet another "Fuck her in the pussy!" meme, which I've seen countless times, certainly enough to make an informed judgment. That might have been why your joke was lost on me.

[Skitch]

I'll be watching this soon.

I'm also historically bad at jokes on these forums. Let alone subtle insidery ones.

[MadMan]

New Girl and Community prove that sitcoms aren't crap. Also what I've seen of Brooklyn Nine Nine has been really funny.

Anyways Sabotage has been added. I think that movie calls for a booze night.

I was all excited too. I've started it twice. It is fucking painfully awful.

[dreamdead]

Forbes put together a list of best-of-2014 streaming titles. I do believe we'll be watching The Final Member soon. Bethlehem and It Felt Like Love also look good.

[number8]

It's a good list. Final Member is gonzo crazy and hysterical to watch.

[MadMan]

That's what I'm afraid of.

[Ivan Drago]

Saw these were new a few days ago:

We Are The Best!
Nebraska
You're Next
Monsters

[Spun Lepton]

December has some interesting titles popping up. (This is a US list, sorry Canadians.)

That's awesome I've been wanting to watch Broadchurch and The Honorable Woman.

[Sycophant]

Yeah, Peretti's special is really great. The audience reaction shots are a really awesome touch.

Made it the first standup in a while where I felt like I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

[Ezee E]

I just watched Chelsea Peretti's special, and dug it a lot. I haven't watched Brooklyn 99 enough to know how she is on there, and never heard of her until this thread. I'll be paying attention to her now.

I thought the audience reactions and other moments were actually distracting and hurt the momentum she had going. They weren't needed.

[MadMan]

I've seen half of Broadchurch. It's pretty good.

For Your Eyes Only
From Russia With Love
Never Say Never Again
A View To A Kill

[Mal]

The One I Love, aka the only movie I've enjoyed starring a Duplass, is now available.

[EyesWideOpen]

They also added the both seasons of Black Mirror a show I've been dying to watch.

[MadMan]

Runaway Train and Thief are priorities. As is The Hustler.

Huh, I would strongly argue against that. Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Returns are way better.

Yes Mask of Phantasm is, I agree. BR I disagree with but thats okay. All the Burton/Schumachers are varying degrees of awful imo.

I just re-watched both of Burton's movies and I agree- he made Batman and Bruce Wayne look like such a fucking pussy it's hard to like them. Batman basically wins by accident 3 times.

Rewatch this scene:

1. Scare bad guys with cape
2. Get shot 4 times
3. Get back up and raise arms with cape again
4. Kick bad guy 1
5. Hold bad guy 2 over ledge and drop off the side right after saying, "I'm Batman".



In the second scene he gets knocked out by a bad guy and saved by Vicki Vale's camera flash. Where's the fucking writing here? PS- the voice activated car looks very doable in 2014.

Time to rank some shit!

The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
Batman Forever
Batman
Batman & Robin
Batman Returns
The Dark Knight Rises

Upon rewatching the Burton/Schumacher films a few years back, it was actually surprising to see how poorly Burton's films had aged in comparison to Schumacher's, and I think a lot of that comes down to how unintentionally goofy they were without really realizing it at the time, where as Schumacher's films fully embrace their camp.

I think the only animated Batman films I've seen are Gotham Knight and Under the Red Hood, both of which were okay, though I'm not sure where I'd rank them really. Probably need to get around to seeing more of the animated films at some point...
