I have never understood the scary movie theme. As a kid, sure, but then it was something to turn away from not knowing.Quote:

I think there's a difference between horror movies we watched as kids that just go for shock value and a well crafted movie that just happens to be scary. To me, mvoies like Psycho, The Exorcist and I'd throw The Babadook in there are damn good movies.Quote:

I don't know that it's on Netflix but 'The Witch' is another movie any fans of unnerving, well done films should watch.
already seen The Babadook, it was ok
Altered Carbon was decent. Cyberpunky detectivy thingie with reasonable amounts of tits and violence.

The hispanic chick had a nice body. Wouldn't have minded seeing it a little more, and the super skinny white/Asian girls a little less. Just too skinny for my tastes, but still better than showing a bunch of ugly fat chicks nude, so won't complain too much.
just tried Cloverfield Paradox, I lasted 20 minutes...
watched Shotcaller last night , think its fee on amazon, it looked terrible, but turned out to be great if you like prison gang movies, and who doesn't?
A few gems in the series involve Jerry's one on ones with Crackle boss Dick Corcoran.Quote:

Two eps into seven seconds. Reviews called it a poor mans wire so fuck it im in. So far not very wirey, looks more like training day. Not bad, will finish.
Archer is on there. Hilarious.
Also my brother recommended a sci-fi to me that i've only seen one episode so far - Altered Carbon
Enjoyed first episode. Firing up the 2nd oneQuote:

Black Mirror is the best series on Netflix and it is not close
Not on the same level as black mirror but I like Love. For some reason, its humor hits me. Same with You're the Worst on Hulu.Quote:

Kidnapping thingie from the 70s Italy. Danny Boyle had something to do with. Donald Sutherland is in it and apparently George of the Jungle is getting paid work again.
Arrested Development Coming back end of May. (They also did some weird re-edit of season 4 and now it's longer)

Also I watched Lost in Space. It was not good, but I finished the season on planes and in airports. Cool story but plot holes are just too distracting.
YaaaasssQuote:

But Lordy season 2 is nauseating. Daredevil is so fucking preachy about how he won’t kill anyone. We get it. I don’t need it repeated 10 fucking times an Episode. Ok I’ll stop ranting.
Somehow I just found out about "The Americans". It's in it's six and final season but I literally just heard about it. Anyway, I started it yesterday and like it a lot so far. It's about two KGB spies living in normal suburban America. Season 1 to 5 are streaming free on Amazon Prime Video
If you're into true crime documentaries check out the 'Evil Genius' mini-series (4 episode)
Starts when a pizza delivery boy walks into a bank to rob it with a bomb strapped around his neck and clues to a scavenger hunt for keys to get it off.
Very interesting.

There was one scene which had me lol'ing. Think it was the last episode when crazy lady was on an epic rant. Totally reminded me of those cartoon Tyde videos.
THIS! Makes me want to read the book. I was really surprised when I found out the main character is the same guy from The Killing too.Quote:

Ok Im pretty tilted right now. Someone tell me there is a way to fix this.
I am SO sick of the site autoplaying the trailers and autoplaying episodes when you click on a program. I did some Google searching and was so happy when i found out you can log into your account online and disable autoplay, so i did.
The only thing it does is prevent a next episode to play automatically.
Im still left with shit obnoxiously playing when I never asked it to. Shit sliterally starts auto-playing the moment after i click the Netflix button on my remote. I swear ive been contemplating dropping Netflix just because of this because its just THAT tilting to me. This might sound stupid to some, but who wants a bunch of obnoxiously loud shit playing without warning when you are simply trying to calmly scroll through through your options of what you want to watch.
What say you?
Have you tried shutting it down?
The Staircase was excellent.
Series/doc about the murder trial of Michael Pederson, accused of killing his wife in Durham NC.
Filmmakers were there from the beginning of this strange, decadeish long legal battle.
I remembered the case from the early 2000s, it was all over Court TV, but i had no idea as to its conclusion.
DO NOT GOOGLE AHEAD IF YOURE PLANNING ON WATCHING.
I watched the whole thing and while I enjoyed it felt it was about 3 episodes longer than it needed to be. They also didn’t even mention a theory that after you watch if you google is one Chaps would find really interesting.Quote:

And laughed at the time that his followers didn’t think it fraudulent thayt he needed so many Rolls Royces (eventually over 20) and diamond watches.
But never learned what exactly happened to that community/cult until now.

P.S. For the literary minded: John Updike’s 1988 novel “S.” is loosely based on this cult, centered around the experiences of the female protagonist, an America WASP who joins a similar cult, and rising within to the point of significance and closeness to the cult leader. If you aren’t familiar with Updike, he was such a tremendous writer, amazingly gifted at putting the reader deeply into the mind of the characters. And IMO, he did so even the female protagonist of this story.

Staircase and wild wild country were both great. (as mentioned above)
WWCountry took me a couple tries to get into it (took a couple months to get through the first 2-3 episodes) but if you think Jonestown or Waco are interesting, def check it out.
If you've finished Staircase, do a little research you're mind might be changed, or not. (Don't google)
Also, recently realized the NBC show 'Trial and Error' is a comedy version of Staircase. (Season 2 of Trial and Error comes out in like a month - I think it will be based on another case)
Started watching 'Making a murderer'. It was interesting at first but doubt I'll finish it.
I've just started Staircase, twenty minutes in and I don't buy his storyQuote:

GLOW season 2 is as good as season 1, if you enjoyed that. I did.
Into the trial of Michael Peterson. Already a travesty of justice imo. His team of lawyers are doing their job but it is ugly to watch.
The man is guilty but money has influence and I still don't know how it ends.
Wholly fuck. The most bizarre, heartbreaking story I've seen.Quote:

Straight up mayhem . Coach Brown is a straight up fucktard. Players are all failing class. Completely riveted .
I just recently started Sense8. Pretty good so far, although something that bothers me a little is that one of the main characters is a tranny who is dating a lesbian woman, and if you stop to think about it a little that kind of relationship doesn't really make sense at all. I wonder if that is actually a thing in the LGBT community?
That show is straight up cultural marxism.Quote:
