In spite of a real need to go to bed early last night, I got completely sucked in to Last Days Here… anyone else here see this? I’ve seen a lot of docs at this point about formerly brilliant, now pitifully damaged artists getting a shot at a comeback/reinvention, but this one takes the cake in terms of the degradation of the subject and how much he was able to successfully pull his shit together from a point of utter wretchedness. Bobby Liebling’s constitution amazes me- I think most people would be dead ten times over from the same abuse. His jaw-droppingly enabling parents… his relationships with Pellet and Hallie… there is so much boggling shit in this movie, from a human relationships perspective.

Also… anyone here who has viewed it… did a certain key work of art from the sofubic realm pop strongly into your mind during the (super-sad) opening scenes, as it did mine?

Agreed on all points. I kinda can't wait for the Swede to die a brutal death though. After finishing S1 I noticed him as one of the terrorists in Caprica.
The whole premise is very interesting. I don't think much about what it must have been like at that time in America so it is really cool to see a fictional account of it. I do have to say that it was kinda weird seeing Common play a slave considering the One Day It Will All Make Sense & Like Water for Chocolate era image that he portrayed. It's definitely my new Breaking Bad. Can't wait for Sundays!

Transcendent man - I think it may only be on Canadian Netflix, but it thoroughly scared the hell out of me.

Seriously, fuck singularity.

Just saw Defendor with Woody Harrelson. I don't think its on instant, but they carry the disk. Really enjoyed it. Worth checking out if you get disks by mail.

After not hearing or seeing much about him I recently watched Rampart . . . I want my 2 hours back!

The fall rules

KLOWN...watch it now

Watched 'Pontypool' tonight based on this post alone. I had forgotten everything about it and was acting on impulse. The whole thing was thoroughly impressive and I'd love to watch again and dive into the details. How they managed to keep talking among themselves and avoid the viral words was disorienting - wondering if it added up. Great, great twist on the infection genre for my linguistic mind.

Hellraiser is on there for all you horror nerds.

Beyond the Black Rainbow is now streaming...prepare to be amazed, confused, and maybe a bit bored

^HA... good to know... I am probably going to give it a spin this wknd...

I’m fuckin’ PISSED at Netflix today; last night, the wife and I sat down to watch the next ep in S4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and the season is simply gone (only S1 and S2 remain up)… we had five episodes left… it'd be nice if, when you clicked to watch, they gave some sort of heads-up banner within a certain timeframe, when it comes to series they are considering removing.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll watch it this weekend, because we're canceling our NF account next week.

What brought you to the decision, Nat?
I'm feeling on the verge, myself...

Watching it TOO much. Being a naturally lazy person, it's keeping me from doing various creative projects. Ditto for my wife. So last weekend we decided to cancel, hoping that not having anything to watch will spur us into action. We're blowing through Breaking Bad S5 (?) this week before it all goes away.

was so excited to finally see this and I could not for the life of me stay awake! Very pretty but goddamn is it boring. People usually tell me the films i love are boring, I can't imagine what the normal movie goer would think of this

I fell asleep during my first viewing

Yea, I tried not to fall asleep so instead I just got distracted browsing random shit on the internet.

Man, I was really looking forward to this movie but I can't help but feel disappointed. The trailer made it seem so much more awesome. I mean, visually, I fucking loved it...but the story couldn't hold me at all. Just so slow and prodding. The soundtrack was pretty amazing though.

Agreed on Black Rainbow. I might try it again, because other than the story it was pretty great - ha!

Karate-Robo Zaborgar

I just noticed American Horror Story is listed. I don't have cable so I began watching it and I really like it.

The first few seasons of Oddities is streaming

Bones Brigade: An Autobiography is amazing.

Loved it!!! However the last few minutes were fairly disturbing!

Yes, the pics from the trip!

Thanks for the reminder. It was great.

I never knew Lance felt that way about being on the team.

And watching the Mullen footage made me remember how I thought his skating was silly when watching those vids back in the 80s. Little did I know then what an influence it would be just a few years later.
