I started Califorication (Canada). I'm only a few episodes in, but I'm liking it so far.

Good to have you back, Jak. <3

Getflix also offers subtitle blocking now, so that's good.

I watched Ender's Game last night. I haven't read the book but I really enjoyed the movie.

Question for people who read the book:
Do they explain why the entire world can only afford one of those chain reaction ships? They said it cost $70 billion. Seems like the entire planet could afford more than one of those ships.

^To add to his, from my list, Escape from LA.

Watch anything good during my vacation?

Odd Thomas was pretty good.
Mixed feelings on Don Jon.
Celeste and Jesse Forever (Canada) was enjoyable. Nice romantic comedy.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an underrated movie I think.
Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan is amazing.
Battleship, I couldn't last more than 15 minutes of it.
Gridiron Gang is a tear jerker. Highly recommend this one.
Think Like a Man and The Internship are both good comedies.
Insidious Chapter 2, skip.

Its been a while, but there's no mention of any of that about the ship, or the cost of it, in the book, that I recall. The movie is quite a bit different and dumbed down.

If I remember right, they only talk about the special weapon, and they only had the time to fit it onto a couple of ships in the fleet. And by the time they make it to the bugs homeworld, he only has one ship with the weapon remaining. Something like that.
 
Reading the premise for Over the Top, I have to wonder if it provided inspiration for the arm wrestling episode of Dexter's Laboratory.

Saw The Station Agent and Don Jon at the weekend. The Station Agent was a lovely little movie, a lot less dark than I was expecting. A movie about quiet people making friends. I thought Bobby Carnivale was very charming especially having only seen him in Boardwalk before. He just wanted a friend, awww. Great little film.

Don Jon, again was a lot lighter and funnier than I was expecting, I was thinking a lot darker. Was pretty enjoyable, even though the principals (JGoLev and ScarJo) were utter tossers. I enjoyed it, but the whole way through I was arguing with it - the reason porn was a problem was because they were both idiots. He didn't know how to fuck properly, straight up. And she was a narcissist incapable of understanding that someone can have an interior sexlife. I felt the movie judged porn, when what it needed to do was have the character understand how to integrate both love and porn into his life healthily. Still, it was good despite being a bit sophomoric in it's attitudes.

Bamboo Gods and Iron Me was the first thing it said to me. This may be useful to me, also there is a random thing on instantwatcher.com that'll spit out random titles, you cant filter though.

I cannot recommend Mr. Nobody high enough. If you like sci-fi, or simply thought provoking films, watch it!

I plan on checking it out.

Bitten is a pretty decent series if you're into werewolves.
Except for Santos. I can't stand the actor who portrays him.
I'm finding myself marathon viewing it, which is a sign that I like it usually.
 
Man the subs in kill la kill are all over the place, it keeps switching from dialogue to text on the screen-_- I really want to watch this as the art style is amazing but it's kind of overwhelming and annoying. I wish the dub was out:(

New Episodes Of Spinoff Series ‘DreamWorks Dragons’ Coming To Netflix

Netflix said today that it will air new seasons of DreamWorks Dragons, the series spawned by the 2010 hit How To Train Your Dragon that has been airing on Cartoon Network.

The new episodes are said to bridge the gap between the first film and next month’s sequel How To Train Your Dragon 2 — from the origin of Hiccup’s new flight suit and the secrets of his dragon blade to the young Viking’s budding romance with Astrid.

I rather have no auto play then the annoying as fuck autoplay which skips the credits/next episode preview/opening of the next episode. I like having that time to do whatever. It's pretty much the only thing Hulu does better than Netflix.
 
Canada got Hannibal S1-2 today.

Wowa, 2 too, that is fast since it only finished a week ago. I guess it has to do with the special partnerships with other investors instead of it being funded by NBC.

I kind of like it, but I don't make a whole lot use of it and it isn't too consistent for me.

So Drinking Buddies is decent. Very light on the humor more of a comedy/drama about relationships. Not great but I was okay with it. Also gives you a chance to fall in love with Olivia Wilde and/or Anna Kendrick every five minutes.

Also, nude Wilde will always add to a movie's value.
