GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[GrogNerd]

+1


Also worth mentioning:

Jodorowsky's Dune
A documentary about his attempt to make an adaptation of the work. Similar in many ways to Lost in La Mancha.

also The Death of "Superman Lives"

THANK whatever deity/deities you hold dear Tim Burton never got a chance to make that movie.

he's great with original content (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks!) but his adaptations or "reimaginings" are complete sh!t (Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Alice in Wonderland), Superman Lives would have fallen in the latter category

For Dune fans, If you haven't seen Jodorowsky's Dune, it's an awesome look at one of the greatest movies never made.

Awesome! I want just commenting to my walking partner today that I was surprised nobody had made a version of it before 1983, considering how well received it was, and the rampant scifi fanbase back then. It would have been ambitious, for sure, at that time.

 

[Homercidal]

Oh, man, I just read about La Mancha, or The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. What an F'd up mess that was!

Filming restarted in March. This past march. Again.

We were going to go see Alien: Covenant, but time did not permit, so we decided to watch Prometheus instead, and kind of refresh our memories on what happened. (Because it was kind of confusing...)

While that was downloading I checked out Comic-Con HQ. I had recently gotten the login to work and I wanted to maybe watch something short in the meantime. They had Top Secret in there list, so I thought, "Hey, let's just watch a little bit of Top Secret!"

And.... That's impossible. The kids started getting into it, and before we knew it Nick had rescued the scientist, fell in love with her daughter, fought with the resistance, and sang and danced his way through the whole movie.

After that, the older daughter watched Prometheus with me, so we're prepared to go watch the new one when we can.

 

[GrogNerd]

definitely one of my favorites

 

[HoppyDaze]

War Machine is awful.

 

[barrooze]

I watched it a while ago, but I thought ARQ was fantastic! It seems a bit low budget, but ride it out and you'll get hooked!

 

[jmcquesten]

Anyone watching Shameless?

 

[GrogNerd]

Anyone watching Shameless?

Since season 1

Because Emmy Rossum

Unless you're talking about the UK version, then no

 

[shellsbells]

Anyone watching Shameless?

I was watching the American version, back when Shomi was still a thing. Unfortunately Shomi ceased to exist and Canadian Netflix only has the British version, so I've fallen behind I was really digging it, though

 

[masonsjax]

I've been going through the Andy Griffith Show. Those old episodes were good. Don Knotts was one of my favorite comedians, such great timing.

 

[GrogNerd]

we just finished the first 3 episodes of the final season of Bloodline

slow burn for first 2 seasons are paying off BIG TIME

also: coming in July, a new series starring Jason Bateman & Laura Linney

Exactly

 

[KayaBrew]

War Machine is awful.

Care to expand on this? I was going to try and watch it.

Ares

Seriously good near-future dystopian sci-fi. It's French with subs, but very easy to follow. I'd give it 5 stars if not for the goofy new thumb up/down system. If only Hollywood was this good!

 

[arturo7]

The Joe Cocker documentary is tip top.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Care to expand on this? I was going to try and watch it.

No fighting scenes, very slow narrative, no new information...it's about everything we already know about counterinsurgency. A couple chuckle worthy moments is about it. There's more I could say, but I don't want to spoil things.

 

[JohnSand]

I've been watching Breaking Bad, which I didn't before.
I've had a hard time finding good movies. They mostly seem to fall into 3 categories: Movies I have seen, Movies I don't wish to see, and Movies I've never heard of.
When we finish Breaking Bad, we can go on to Better Call Saul.

 

[bleme]

I watched Doctor Strange last night and really enjoyed it. I follow all the Marvel stuff and was surprised that I hadn't heard of this one. It was kind of strange seeing Sherlock in a different role though, even if it was nearly the same character.

 

[TorMag]

Gracias Por Dios, House of Cards is back on.....

 

[Devon]

If you like Bill Burr, his animated show F Is For Family is a must see.

 

[JohnSand]

Thanks.

I enjoyed it also. But I thought it was weird to see Khan in a different role. . .🖖

 

[bleme]

Funny. I never put together that Khan=Sherlock. I spent the whole movie waiting for Spock to cut off someones skullcap though...

 

[Homercidal]

I enjoyed it also. But I thought it was weird to see Khan in a different role. . .🖖

I agree. I did get used to him after a bit, but he seemed too much like Sherlock, or NOT KAHN, IMO. I'm just used to Ricardo M. as that guy.

 

[nDub]

I'm a little late to the game but "Twin Peaks". Super weird but is pulling me in!

 

[bleme]

Just finished season 2 of A-Jin. If this is representative of what Japanese anime is like, I might have to look for more. The song they played while the credits rolled in Season 2 cracked me up every time!

 

[hopkincr]

Just starting Twin Peaks myself.

 

[AJinJacksonville]

Better Call Saul-the first few episodes of the first season were difficult to get through...but...it is all starting to come together. If you are/were a Breaking Bad fan, a lot of "A-ha" moments. Can't wait for season three!

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Anyone here watched all of the Marco Polo series?

I downloaded it for an in-flight offline binge while crossing the pacific, but then recalled it having some pretty raunchy scenes.

Are said scenes merely occasional, or are they pretty consistently in most all episodes? Not sure I want to watch the latter with the risk of my kids looking over my shoulder.
