This was a fascinating documentary. Tony Hawk responded in an interview with Transworld to some of the stuff Tas said. I generally think Hawk is a douche, but I think the 900 stuff was probably blown out of proportion. If anything, I think it took away from the core of the story.Quote:

I really enjoyed Continuum. Maybe started off a bit slow but midway through the 2nd season and through the 3rd was top notch time travel sci-fi.
Some of the last of Leonard Nimoy. [/sheds tear]Quote:

Netflix is pretty slim for July (they seem to be skewing much more towards series than movies).

However, The Guest is popping up on July 25th.
This flick is a sweet homage to '80s low-budget action/sci-fi films (think Dolph Lundgren/Jean Claude Van Damme/Steven Segal classics). It's from Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, the director/writer duo responsible for You're Next. I'm really vibing on their grasp of '80s action thrillers and horror films, from the storylines, to the characters, and music. This one is teeming with all kinds of classic genre spins from secret government projects to lottsa Halloween (amongst others) references.
Oh yeah, it stars the chick from It Follows.
Come out to plaaayeyea!!! Just posted to NF.

"Legit" with Jim Jefferies is absolutely hilarious. 20 or so episodes. Brilliant.
"The Life of Riley" BB King bio.
Primer back on.
Best homemade time machine movie. evah.
'Point and Shoot' documentary is fascinating, I thought it was going to be about a manly man going to Libya to fight in the Arab spring. I was very wrong.
Elite squad movies are fantastic. Gritty movies and social commentary about Brazilian justice system. First one was probably a little better, but second still packed a punch
I haven't seen the first one, but found the second one to be just okay.Quote:

Mel G. comes off as desperate with his overacting, super villain ham schtick, and the whole shebang is rife with really bad CG effects. Snipes looks really weird, like he's had some sort of plastic surgery (or just favors wearing eyeliner and lip liner), meanwhile Stallone is stone faced and delivers flat one-liners with no sense of timing whatsover, and Dolph L., who was the only saving grace in E2, thanks to his deft, deadpan comedic timing, is relegated to just chewing gum and blowing things up in this film.
Honestly, it shouldn't be that hard to recapture the glory days of '80s action films (Adam Wingrad and Simon Barrett managed to do so in The Guest, so it's not impossible)...

I'll second that. Watched it front to back many times, great movie, awesome re-watch value.Quote:

I'm enjoying using my Dad's HBO Go password. 7 Days in Hell was awesome. Fuck slut.
Amazon prime isn't much better.
I liked two BBC detective shows that are on Netflix - Luther and Broadchurch. Luther, in particular, was very well written.
I liked Broadchurch. Season 2 should be on Netflix in 2020.
The entertainment industry as a whole still seems obsessed with shiny disks. At least the music industry is learning.
I watched this last night. Hipster concept but I got to hear The Staves for the first time. They are amazing.

I thought it was quite hit and miss. Mostly miss. Such a good idea but really badly executed.Quote:
