FUCK! I forgot that came out |facepalm|

JustRobert 2018-11-05 10:28 AM

I mentioned it in the morning thread a couple days back but I finished the last season of Daredevil and I think it might of been their best.

Also watched the Rocco documentary and it was interesting.

Just added House of Cards final season to the queue but not sure what I'm watching next as there is a long list to choose from.

Yes, Mr. Siffredi

JustRobert 2018-11-10 09:06 AM

I watched the series Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On and found this quite interesting as it deals with our biz stuff.

Also we watched the new Netflix movie Outlaw King last night and it was good:

I can see you think that but I liked the character build/background story stuff sometimes more than all the fighting sequences as to me those get overdone and I start singing Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting :D

I haven't watched the series yet, mostly because of this:
My Review Of The Doc "Hot Girls Wanted" (Posted 2015-06-10)
But |bow| Ramster has me doing work for the company they follow around, so now I have to go back & rewatch the 1st one & then the series.

I hate to be "that guy" but the books were SO MUCH BETTER! That being said, the 1st season was decent. The 2nd season was a fucking trainwreck.

JustRobert 2018-11-27 08:52 AM

Just finished the new season of Frontier. It had been a while since the last season so I'm glad I watched the last episode of the second season before starting the third to remind myself.

Also watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs which I found entertaining though I did wish there was more Buster in it.

Greenguy 2018-12-15 08:39 AM

Yesterday I watched The Innocent Man and I probably would have been blown away by this had I not seen Making A Murderer. It's very much worth watching, but it's basically the same story X's 2.

Next I stumbled upon The American Meme which was a really good look into social media stars Paris Hilton, Josh Ostrovsky, Brittany Furlan, and Kirill Bichutsky and showed just how out of touch I am, seeing as I only knew who Paris Hilton was |pokefun||greenguy| Kirill Bichutsky struck a nerve with me because, out of everyone they showed, I know I'd want to "be" him on the surface, but I also know I'd be exactly like him behind the scenes.

Then I needed a|lol| so I watched Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now, Bert Kreischer: Secret Time, and Ricky Gervais: Humanity. Each one was was great & all 3 had me crying with laughter, but there was one part of a story that Jim Jefferies told about a private gig he did at Mariah Carey's husband's birthday party that may have been the funniest fucking thing I have ever heard. I'm cracking up just thinking about it.

If my stomach acts up again today, I may watch Season 3 of F Is For Family

JustRobert 2018-12-15 10:47 AM

I just added American Meme thou I do not need a show to tell me out of touch I have become.

Added F Is For Family because I forgot new episodes were released.

As for recently watched shows I finished the new season of The Last Kingdom which I really like thou I wished they did not release until after the new season of Vikings on TV.

We also watched The Christmas Chronicles and Yes it was your typical cheesy holiday movie but then again that's what I liked about it :)

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

From Wiki:
Quote:

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (also referred to simply as Bandersnatch) is a 2018 interactive film in the science fiction anthology series Black Mirror. Written by series creator Charlie Brooker and directed by David Slade, Netflix released it on 28 December 2018 as the first standalone film in the series.

...

Bandersnatch is presented as an interactive film. A brief tutorial, specific to the device being streamed on, explains to the viewer how to make choices. They have ten seconds to make choices, or a default decision is made. Once a playthrough ends, the viewer is given an option of going back and making a different choice. The average viewing is 90 minutes, though the quickest path ends after 40 minutes. There is 150 minutes of unique footage divided into 250 segments. IGN reports that according to Netflix, there are five "main" endings, with variants within each ending. When the viewer reaches such an ending, the interactive film gives the player to redo a last critical choice as to be able to explore these endings. In some case, the viewer can reach the same segment in multiple different ways, but be given different choices based on the way they reached the segment. In other cases, certain loops guide viewers to a specific narrative regardless of the choices they make

jollyhumper 2018-12-30 03:16 PM

Watched Elf (2003).
I'm not sure it was worth the bandwith it ate.
Way to little Zooey Deschanel and also way to little Peter Dinklage. |lol|

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

Another thing, I will never consider living on Manhattan.
If Godzilla wakes up, he trashes Manhattan, if the world is about to end, Ground Zero is Manhattan, if Santa's sleigh won't fly, Manhattan have to sing Christmas Carols.

Frontier is nice BTW.

I was gonna see if The Bitch would watch it with me today, but then you had to stop by and |violin| me!

ArtWilliams 2018-12-31 09:45 AM

I like stupid funny comedy so I am re-watching Third Rock From The Sun (which is NOT on Netflix Canada). I am viewing it on Tubi a free competitor. What neat about it is that, like Seinfeld, they transferred all the original film from 35mm to 1080p so the show is now in HD.

On NetFlix Canada, my wife is watching an Australian drama series called Wanted and a show called The Good Cop. The Good Cop has Josh Groban and Tony Danza. She said it's not great but perfectly fine. Take those recommendations for what you will.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

I finally watched/tried this last night & I went into it thinking I'd base my decisions on what I'd personally do and it started out fine. Then it kept rewinding (for lack of a better word) and making me choose between things I already chose against, meaning they asked A or B and I took A, then they asked C or D and I took C, then they asked B or D, so I was kinda forced to pick a path I didn't want to & *that started to annoy me. Then the "Netflix" thing came into play & I thought that was fucking BRILLIANT! Then there were 2 or 3 times I was given a choice between a rewind or credits, so I took the rewind & each time was great. By the end (which was truly awesome) I was just "OMG! THIS IS AMAZING!" and I can't wait to watch/try it again knowing what I know from the 1st go-thru.

*I think you're referring to this part & if so, then I completely understand what you're saying, but I think if you go back twice, one time keeping the author of the Bandersnatch book he was reading/using in mind, and the other keeping the PAC thing in mind, you're going to have 2 very different experiences from your 1st go-thru.

With Netflix's newest price hike, for the first time, I am considering cancelling it. I rarely watch anything on there anyway. I feel like someday soon, they will only list their in-house content and no longer license the few shows I used to enjoy.

Thoughts?

Greenguy 2019-01-18 07:48 AM

I pretty much watch it for their in-house content...

Have you tired Tubitv.com? It's free but not commerical free.

Never even heard of it. I cannot stand commercials. I cancelled Amazon Prime because of their preroll ads, even though they were for their own content.

I mostly watch random YouTube videos. Right now, I'm binge-watching some dude's videos about Bangkok's nightlife. He doesn't talk. He just wanders around "Walking Street" with what I assume is a hidden camera. He points out the ladyboys in the subtitles. I spent about a week watching only short plane crash documentary-style vids. Good stuff. |loony|

JustRobert 2019-01-18 10:14 AM

Everything keeps going up in price so another dollar or two does not bother me especially when they are investing in their own content.

Plus they just announced a new show with Steve Carell:

We "made" all our kids watch all the Monty Python movies and some of the skits from Flying Circus when they were teens. It is funny to hear them still quote lines from those nearly 20 years later :D

EDIT:
Forgot to mention a new season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is coming :)

JustRobert 2019-02-05 10:45 AM

I did finish the last season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and though I thought some of it was bad it did have enough moments of quirky hilarity to make it worth it.

I've added a bunch of new stuff to the queue but have been wrapped up in other stuff that has stopped me from the Netflix binge so who knows when I'll get to it all.

JustRobert 2019-02-06 12:41 PM

So yesterday I decided to start watching the new season of Punisher. That turned into me just sitting on the couch, no laptop, and getting through 11 episodes. I'll watch the last 2 today while waiting on the estimate dude.

This is something I have not done since before my wife was diagnosed with cancer 16 months ago. It was nice but I sure felt like a slacker, since I only worked 4 hours, when I went to bed last night :D

Ramster 2019-02-07 10:35 AM

Netflix new price increase sucks but I do watch it and my daughter watches Netflix all the time so I'm paying it. I think it's worth it. Cable I'd love to dump but my wife is addicted to the stupid housewife shows and other reality TV crap.

Punisher season 2 was good |thumb

Now I need to read through this thread more for what to watch next

Greenguy 2019-02-10 08:09 AM

In the last 36 hours, I finished F Is For Family|lol|, binged on Season 2 of The Punisher |thumb |thumb, watched The Bill Murray Stories & Filmworker about Leon Vitali who gave up a promising film career to basically devote his life to Stanley Kubrick (it was really good).

JustRobert 2019-02-10 10:40 AM

I did watch the Valentines special from Big Mouth which made me |lol|

JustRobert 2019-02-16 10:58 AM

I finished the new season of Friends from College and now watching Medici both of which I really enjoy.

JustRobert 2019-02-20 10:36 AM

For those that don't know. The last of the Marvel shows, Jessica Jones and Punisher, have been canceled. Who knows if they will continue when they move, more below.

If you have not seen them and want to you should do so as these will probably be all removed some time later this year as Disney will be introducing their streaming services and they own the rights to Marvel and should be pulling all their content out of Netflix. They own Disney, ABC, Marvel Studios, Lucas Films and others.

Now, I did finish Medici which I liked and have now started a series called Happy. 1st episode had a rough start but by the end I found certain elements quite funny. Watched 3 episodes last night and it's just entertaining enough to finish the series.

My son and I binge-watched that series. We loved it. My son NEVER watches TV, which means that "Happy" was just quirky enough to hold his attention.

When you throw in that all the Marvel & Star Wars movies now go to Netflix 1st before any cable movie channel (I assume they outbid HBO, Showtime, etc.) that is really bizarre |crazy|

Think about it this way, Disney is in direct competition with HBO (owned by Time Warner) and Showtime (owned by CBS) so it makes sense to put the bulk of their stuff on Netflix which they were not competing with at least in the beginning. That has changed with Netflix mass investment into original content in series and movies.

I heard rumor about Disney stream service 2 years ago which is why I thought it was strange they put so many of their animated movies on Netflix but it makes sense. They have hooked, like my grandson, on the ability to watch their movies over and over anytime on their tv, phones and tablets. So when it is only on Disney stream my daughter will be signing up like millions of other families.

JustRobert 2019-02-21 11:05 AM

Speaking of original content this looks good:
