GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[cheezydemon3]

OK, so find the evidence and prove me wrong, and I will humbly dine on crow.

As I said, I am not gonna waste my time doing that.

I was not saying that TX has bad taste, just that he sometimes effs with us

DREDD in the end, was an Action film's action film.

It was 850 times better than the Sylvester Stallone/Wessley Snipes disaster, but it lacked depth.

90% action sequences, 10% drug induced slomos.

I enjoyed it, but 0% character development gets old over 90 minutes.

watched every episode of "the mind of a chef" over the weekend. .makes me wish they still had No Reservations on that ****

First post since the last time I've checked this thread. I'm watching the first episode now and it's great. I can't believe they don't have No Reservations anymore.

It may be on Prime. I have both, so nothing phases me too much.

They dropped Ugly Americans just as season 2 became available.....

This would have pissed me off, but it got yanked to be put on prime......and season 2 SUCKS

Cheezy - I think I've seen here that you have a Roku box. How do you like it?

I'm asking because I'm probably going to replace my 6 year tiny ass (think Miley Cyrus sized) TV with a 55" that's on sale for Labor Day this evening. The difference between the 55" that I'm looking at and the same exact model but with "smart" features is over $300. I'm thinking that a $60 Roku box would do the same job. Your thoughts?

 

[flipfloptan]

We were in the same boat you are. We went with the non smart tv and bought a samsung/blue ray dvd combo from Costco for $90. Make sure you buy the one that has wifi.

Now we have smart tv and dvd watching capabilities.

I love it. It is so simple. New "channels" pop up everyday and there is NO monthly charge. Fantastic interface and appearance. (for a non wii electronic)

It loads amazingly fast for something the size of your wallet, occasionally there a tiny bit of lag. I am NOT HD yet (and I am fighting like hell to NOt go there) so I can't speak about that.

It is so damned cheap, I think I would own one even if I still had cable.

I agree. I thought it was worse then Season 1. Hopefully that show doesn't go downhill. I like it too much :/

Season 1 is FLAWLESS. Every episode is as shocking as southpark, and funnier than Archer. WHT HAPPENED?

All I can say about season 2 is SUCK MY BALLS!

(so many classic moments from season 1 )

Cheezy / flipfloptan - Thanks for the heads up and confirming what I had hoped. I'm kind of old school when it comes with technology and would rather invest in a Roku box or blue ray / DVD player than spend a lot more money on "smart" features that I'll likely never fully use and would obsolete in a few years anyway. My main driver was HBO Go as it's not supported on PS3 - Get your **** together Sony, or I won't be buying a PS4.

You should double-check on HBO Go support. I had read some stuff saying that for certain services (e.g. DirecTV), HBO won't authenticate Roku users, making it completely useless.

That's good advice. I did just check now, and Time Warner Cable (EVIL, EVIL, EVIL) does allow HBO Go to be used through Roku.

You have to keep cable to get HBOGO or ESPN3...(or use somebody else's code) which is effin retreaded. (yes I meant to type that )

I went so far as getting rid of all of my CDs and DVDs.

I stream EVERYTHING.

I "own" movies in digital format and access music through www.grooveshark.com to hear a specific song, and www.Pandora.com to hear an awesome customized radio station.

I shop around, but really only "Buy" or "Rent" movies from amazon (digital only). Forget blu ray or whatever the hell comes out next. It is all moving towards digital. Get there first.

I strongly recommend amazon prime and netflix streaming subscriptions.

 

[Darwin18]

Amazon Prime was worth it just for last Christmas. We always have to travel out of state to finish our parents and "free" 2 day shipping is a life saver when it comes to procrastination and Christmas shopping. Haven't messed with the media aspect of it too much yet, but I'm sure that will change.

Mine is full hd with roku 2 in one room and roku xd in another.... there is a very noticeable difference in performance go with the more expensive boxes(roku3) if you can, I would if I had to do it again. other than that roku is definitely the way to go

Caught my boys watching Xena Warrior Princess last night, they were embarrassed and each claimed that it was the others idea. It looks like Xena still has got it. Also, I don't know how I didn't notice this before but Xena played #3 in the new BSG..

And Ensign Ro (TNG) played Admiral Cain.

Oh holy crap! I wouldn't have picked that up as quickly. And since all these are on NF, we're not even

Dude, I was never a tv guy! I watched Xena in the 90's at a friends house, and BSG 15 years later. It didn't click ok MEH!

You misunderstand!!!!

I never spotted it either, lol.

 

[cheezydemon3]

IP Man is amazingly good!

 

[DrunkleJon]

I always think that is a courtroom law movie about intellectual property when I see the title. Then I see the cover image and get confused. So, it is about a ninja that covers Intellectual Property disputes?

Lol. The Ip evidently does not translate.

The story is really good for a kung fu movie, the acting is superb, and the fights are first rate.

I am NOT normally a kung fu buff, but when I saw ads for Ip Man 3.......I figured I need to check it out.

 

[TxBrew]

I want a new scifi series.

Any suggestions? I've already seen Battlestar Galactica

 

[cheezydemon3]

Falling Skies is really good

*edit* It might be on amazon prime......my brain hardly distinguishes anymore.

Ah gotcha, and here I thought you were some kind of a tv god, who knew the episode of Married with Children that Xena did her first cameo in

I was filled with the same hole after finishing BSG, and ended up settling on Alias. It's definitely not as good, but it is good and scratches the same itch for me. Also I'm sure you've noticed that every Star Trek ever is now on NF.

 

[cheezydemon3]

.....I was filled with the same hole......

Sorry! Couldn't let that go unnoticed!



So which hole were you filled with? lol.

 

[bottlebomber]

Please fill my hole!!!
