yeah watched the first ep and im done... also watched Jupiter Ascending (had to read the wiki and it still didnt make any sense) and I just dont understand how they wrote The Matrix... to me even though I thought the second was good and the third was just okish... they are truly one hit wonders...They are great directors the both or them but I swear it was the main fact they didnt have loads and loads of budget, that really helped the Matrix... but they haven't done anything worth a damn in a loooong time.. I didnt like that race movie wasnt my thing but... The Matrix is there masterpiece dont think they well ever do better,real shame... I even like Cloud Atlas but it wasnt from them and they had someone help direct.

Oh nice. Will probably watch Expendables 3 and maybe re-watch Primer which is awesome.

Nah, I thought I watched it a long time ago. I think I just got confused with me remembering watching it on the Canadian Netflix and then it popping up on the US one instead of a season 2 popping up.

Cross posting from the OT:

I finished it. Great series. It definitely gets better after the slow start. I love how everything started to come together towards the final four episodes (especially the final two).

The show is beautiful shot. The action scenes are really well done
(The car chase scene with Capheus and the revenge killing with Wolfgang, being my two favorites)
.

Sun and Lito were my favorite characters. Lito's story arc was great and brought onion cutting ninjas to my house. Sun was, straight up, a fucking badass.

I do have a few (minor) gripes with the show. One, is something has mentioned, and will be mentioned for anyone that watches it, the dialogue can be bad. I don't think it life causing cancer bad like some make it out to be, however. Two, not enough Naveen Andrews. Although, this is understandable since they already have eight characters running around. plus supporting and bad characters.

Overall, it was a fun ride and I can not wait for season two.

I tried the Grace and Frankie pilot last night.

It wasn't bad...but it also wasn't believable. I just didn't buy into the whole concept of two couples being friends for so long, and the men hiding their gay relationship for 20 years of it.

I also didn't really buy Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston in their roles.

Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda made it work though, and the show would have fallen apart without them.

I don't know if I will continue with it or not.

Great that Netflix is branching out to other genres though.

Stick with it. The first couple of episodes relied a little too much on somewhat broad humor (Frankie is weird let's LOL at her!), but things smooth out pretty fast. I agree on Martin Sheen - I had a hard time remembering he wasn't President Bartlett. Disagree on Waterston, though, I thought he was great. He really grows in to the role as the series progresses.

Overall it's a well written and very sincere show with some really great moments (both funny and dramatic). I'm glad we're getting a season 2.

Those are all good choices, but, we all know in our hearts that Netflix should bring back Terriers.

I've read some negative stuff about Hola recently and stopped using it. Is it really as bad as people are making it out to be? What are the other options for region unblocking?

So I ended up going with PureVPN after I dropped Hola, as they were the only service that included a large amount (all?) of the Netflix regions and also Japan, They were running a special so I got 2 years for $50.

Service runs well so far, though admittedly I haven't streamed anything from US servers yet. I've tried it with Netflix Denmark & Hulu Japan (sitting in Germany) and they both ran well in HD. Had trouble w/ Hulu Japan detecting that I wasn't in Japan at first, but the customer service was spot on in helping me out.

Started Bloodline last night. Really digging it, surprised that even my wife is into it, she's not so much into dark drama.

It got a second season yeah?

I've been wanting to check out The Legend. Nice.

I highly recommend Nightcrawler. Intriguing movie, fantastic performance by Gyllenhaal.

So I watched Badadook on all the ravings about how great it is and the big pay off ending you'll never see coming and I'm wondering if there are 2 versions of the movie or something? I watched the BD and spoilers ahead (if you can call them that)
there was effectively no ending, it just abruptly cuts to credits like every other quasi-cerebral horror movie in existence with the open ended and false leads leaving the viewer to guess what (if anything) was real and perhaps concoct metaphorical explanations..

Nope, no two versions of the movie. Just a bunch of people overhyping it for no good reason. Terrible.
