There will be some planned downtime starting Wednesday, June 15th at 9am EDT. The board will be closed for approximately 12 to 24 hours while we work on migrating to a new forum software. For more information on the move, check out the Board Change Announcements thread.
Beauty Is Embarrassing, the doc on Wayne White, is now available; I would say it's a must-watch for most on this board!
agreed, it was amazing. A little background for those not in the know, he was a main artist who did set design for Pee Wee's Playhouse. It chronicles his art then and now. Really great stuff.

Looking forward to Hemlock Grove
Watched the first episode last night. Seems to be a bit of a mixed bag but I liked it enough to keep watching. The weird rich lady kinda reminded me of Morticia Addams.
I finished the series the other day. It was OK and I wish that Eli Roth directed more then the first episode. I did like the way that they wrapped up the series and enjoyed the last 2 episodes.
I just fear that it will either be too much like American Horror Story (mixing in every imaginable idea possible into a single storyline - aliens, serial killers, Nazis, monsters, ghosts, insane asylum, etc.) or True Blood (silly love story with vampires, werewolves, etc.). Please tell me its reigned in a bit with its story arc. Then I would consider watching it.

It's a mess of everything It does have an arc that is pretty well suited for the 13 episodes though. It's hard to recommend, as it's all over the place and is trying too hard.

Re: netflix instant thread.
This seems like the most appropriate place to ask this.. Netflix has some Godzilla films streaming but does anyone know where I can watch Godzilla vs Hedorah online? Can't even get it on DVD from netflix..

Re: netflix instant thread.
Sherlock. The modern one with Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Brilliant. I love how each episode is a movie. Two seasons, six episodes, as they run 1.5 hrs each episode.
Also still constantly watch 'Spaced' and 'Hyperdrive'. Hyperdrive stars Nick Frost, and is a send-up of Star Trek/ every science fiction show ever....silly fun.
Yes, I like British TV
I've also been watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 stuff available

Re: netflix instant thread.
Someone feel free to correct me, but I just happened to notice that Netflix has added a whole whack of genre and cult films to their repertoire. This is the first time I am actually happy about stuff I see new on there.
In addition to some classic Godzilla and other Toho films (fair warning, I have not checked any of them out yet, so I can't say what versions and/or dubbing they might be), some ones of note include:
The Angry Red Planet ___Y E S ! C.H.U.D. Black Sabbath___classic Bava Class of Nuke'Em High Troll II___(don't worry, it is not a sequel) Lair of the White Worm___ Attack of the Crab Monsters - and a whole bunch of Sword & Sorcery and 'Hercules'-themed flics
And many others besides. Check out the new library if you have the chance, and are as tired of the modern drivel as much as I.
Plenty of B-movie fun to fill you for the holiday season.
Hmm, well I guess you should have come to the Fantasia screening of The Devils then. A rare showing of an original 35mm copy, plus the man himself to accept a liftetime achievement award.
I was indeed. It is sure something special to be able to experience these 'cult' and such movies on the big screen, the way they were really meant to be seen. Not only are we losing that in the digital age, but even before, so many of us would only ever have had the option of seeing great early films on shoddy home video copies. And, while very enjoyable, and I am as enthusiastic about them, I concede that nothing will ever replace the thrill of seeing and hearing a great movie in a proper theatre. There are so many others I would give a lot to be able to experience in a similar fashion. Sigh, nostalgia......

Re: netflix instant thread.
That bio on Death was awesome. I've also been watching some Louis CK, and MST3K, as I need some laughter in my life. More like torturing my girls with MST3K.

If you're even remotely interested in it, watch it ASAP, seriously.
I watch a lot of documentaries and this is the best I have seen in a real long time. I don't even care much for punk rock, protopunk, garage rock, whatever (though I do really enjoy their music and plan on picking up their records), but the story and everything about these guys is something else. Can't recommend it enough and I'm going to watch it again with my girl and hope I don't get all verklempt, haha.
AMAZING story- everybody who lives in this town and goes to shows/plays in bands has known the Hackneys for years, and so when this all came to light, it seemed so surreal. Myself, as a huge Bad Brains fan and having always considered them the seminal black punk band, I was blown out of the water... and that it was these longtime local-music-fixture guys... totally unexpected. I interviewed Bobby, Urian and Jules and the rest of Rough Francis on the radio in 2010, when all of this was still gaining momentum and the doc was still filming. I was so genuinely moved by hearing them talk about the discovery of the tapes, and what a testament this late discovery has been to their uncle David's incredible vision. They're all great people and well-deserving of this long-overdue spotlight.
Do we have a thread for just recommending movies? I didnt want to create one if there is already one present.
anyways I sat back last night and watched: "The Wolf of Wall Street" I personally liked the film very much, make sure not to watch with children around, heavy drug use, sex and language. It's a 3 hour film, I didn't know if I'd be able to watch it all the way through in one night with it being that long. I liked it so much I made sure to watch it through though. I'd say a 8/10 I laughed quite a bit in it... the popeye scene had me really going.
Really enjoying the Netflix original starring Ricky Gervais titled Derek currently.
Edit: Oh wait, it's actually not a Netflix original, but they picked it up.
Yes! also loving this series. Very different from anything else hes done but also has the same kind of vibe as the original "Office" Season 2 will be on Netflix at the end of May.
All seasons of "An Idiot Abroad" are also on Netflix, My fav Brit comedy team since Monty Python.

Re: netflix instant thread.
Awhile back I asked if anyone knew where I could stream Godzilla vs. Hedorah, and I'd been looking for awhile but now it's popped up on hulu! Here's the link for anyone else who's been looking! http://www.hulu.com/watch/624047
