GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[Swarley88]

Show sucks, don't get into it and waste the time.

 

[bottlebomber]

I haven't watched any of the Walking Dead yet either, but I hear it's good.

 

[weirdboy]

The Walking Dead can drag a bit in places.

I have been watching The Wire for the first time on HBO Go, and man, is that a good show. How had I never seen it before? Not on Netflix streaming but totally excellent if you have the means to watch it.


On Netflix I have started watching Arrested Development over again from the beginning. I had seen the first 3-4 seasons previously, but it was long enough ago that I didn't really remember it very well, so I thought I should re-watch the earlier episodes before starting on the new ones. It's been great starting over from the first episode. I had forgotten some really great bits from that show.

Do you Roku? I started a "Good on Roku" thread, but it was too broad a subject. Netflix is on Roku, amazon is on Roku, Hbo go, PBS etc.

 

[weirdboy]

I use my xbox. Next generation I will probably just get a roku, though.

 

[TxBrew]

I just got into an argument with my cable provider, so I'm thinking of making the jump to Roku now.

 

[cheezydemon3]

It is more work. You can't just filp it on and zone out, but I think that is a good thing

*Pardon me as I wander farther off topic than the people I have admonished.....*

It gets better every week. I got in when Playon was offering a lifetime membership with purchase of a Roku. While it is almost the most useless channel on Roku, as a pay channel, it has potential and will have to improve or die.

PBS is fantastic, Nowhereman is fantastic, the search is AMAZING.

When you search for say...Return of the King (LOTR)

You get results on:
VUDU 9.99
Amazon 9.99
Blockbuster 2.99
and if it was on Netflix or any other channel (EVEN CHANNELS YOU DON'T HAVE!!!!!) it would tell you.

There are TONS of free channels. Classic movies, classic horror, Popcorn flix, Smut (I hate to mention it, but the biggest free porn Library ANYWHERE. It would be easy to never leave home and waste away if you were so inclined)

 

[reinstone]

thanks for all the suggestions guys. I hate looking for movies on netflix.

My recommendations:

Restrepo (live war coverage; maybe the most emotional I've ever been watching a movie)
Breaking Bad - best tv show ever made
Big Lebowski - best movie ever made
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia - most entertaining and effed up family on the planet


Old School movies:
Juice
Sling Blade
From Dusk Till Dawn

"Mercury makes a good car" !

 

[TxBrew]

I don't really surf. I find something to watch or I turn it off and do something else. Roku sounds like it's for me.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I would like to resurrect this thread to free up netflix for all of it's deserved glory

OT, but buggar it! Tx's sig got me all excited for a moment there! With my long term (and mid term and short term) memory lapses, I thought there was another giveaway coming up! I don't often use the phrase "Attention seeking pimp".......Or maybe I do, but I can't remember.

Squirrel!!!!

 

[cheezydemon3]

Thank you for that LGI!

And now for something completely different.

That one keeps creeping up as a winner in my subconcious......Really it blew it at the end. From the burning of all of the tiny little....faries or whatever at the car crash on, (except for the ****y parade) it went a little wide of awesome.

Hey!! Your post was just as off topic as mine!!

Any way....If anyone is looking to keep the wife happy, Doc Martin is one of those typically British, VERY easy on the brain comedy/drama things that is good for a Sunday afternoon. It's real PBS territory. A snooze fest for some, a pleasant couch cuddling time for others. Leave your brain at the door. Those types of shows have merit in the right situation.

You are confusing me with someone else......my post did not say "OT", yours did.

There's another one! Get back on track dammit!!

 

[hatedheretic]

finally got around to watching The Cabin in the Woods, holy crap that movie was great!!

It had HUGE potential, but fell short in my opinion.

 

[HoppyDaze]

all it needed was a dog named Jangers.

and a "Work Shed"

And a chipper..

And a Candarian Demon...

and some COLLEGE KIDS!!!!....oh...wait...

I agree, but still entertaining. When the demon was being decided I could have thought of better ones.

 

[cheezydemon3]

MUCH better ones.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Lol

 

[cheezydemon3]

A SAD DAY....

Netflix dropped Ren and Stimpy

Amazon has it.

Here is the general streaming thread.

[TxBrew]

I'll be signing up for Amazon shortly.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Netflix is still great, I guess R and S just didn't get played much, or maybe the licensing just renewed.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I'll be signing up for Amazon shortly.

If you already buy stuff from there, it's a no-brainer IMO

 

[cheezydemon3]

I hardly ever buy from amazon, and it is still worth it.

 

[TNGabe]

Copper isn't the best series ever, but just one upped Deadwood with some hot pig on corpse action. I don't think there is a puking emoticon, or I'd use it.

If you've ever been around/raised pigs, that's how they roll.
