It kinda surprised me actually, had never heard of the River of No Return wilderness area and thought it was about an actual river.....was surprised to get a couple following wolves in an untouched wilderness area.

Nature docs have been my go-to for relaxing background television. I'll still throw on something I've watched before if I just want something on.

Have you watched the BBC stuff? Frozen Planet, Life or Planet Earth?

Definitely, those are some of the best. I also like that we have older stuff too like the David Attenborough: Wildlife Specials.

Yeah, I'm slowly working through his other specials. Really great stuff. I will start going into BBC's other specials like the dino's one or the planets down the road.

The one on Wolves in that series is exceptional, also the Leopard one is good too.

I loved the wolves one. But I'm also biased since I think wolves are badass as fuck.

Canadians: I watched A Prophet and Sexy Beast recently. A Prophet was good, not great. Sexy Beast was amazing.

If you are going to watch A Prophet, pay no mind to the misleading movie description. On Netflix, they say the movie is about a kid who refuses to snitch and is then sent to jail. In the actual movie, there is barely any mention of why he is in jail in the first place, and throughout all 2.5+ hours of the movie, they never mention anything about him refusing to snitch. In fact, early in the movie
he tries to snitch on the Corsican/Italian gang that is harassing him!

I took a break from BSG because I was losing interest, came back and it's really starting to pick up. Really started getting good for me at S3
the trial episodes, Razor was pretty cool too. Loved seeing those old colon models

If you have even a remote interest in late 90s era of pro wrestling, I would suggest you watch this documentary. It's a great look on the life and career of Mick Foley. It covers everything except his short run In TNA around '07 and is a great story about a guy that became a huge legend by putting his body on the line and literally destroying it to the point where he can barely walk.

One of the best documentary's WWE have made, and that's saying something, as they've made some pretty good ones.

I watched it a long time ago when I was younger, so now I'm going back through some of it so i can get to Brotherhood.
Click to expand...

You don't need to do that really....Brotherhood is it's own re-telling of the story. Also, my comment was inspired by the fact that they leave the bumps they have on the edge of the commercial breaks in the show....so you get a screen of characters with a voice saying "Full Metal Alchemist" ,a slash, and then a different screen of characters with a voice saying "Full Metal Alchemist" every episode.

Yup. No need to watch the first FMA at all to watch Brotherhood. FMA has a lot of filler and eventually goes an entirely different direction than the Manga. Brotherhood moves much faster, pretty much no filler at all and stays pretty true to the Manga.

Yep, it's much better without the filler. This story seems much deeper in Brotherhood too, but it's been awhile since I saw the original.

Also, they still have one of the best English voice casts of any anime.

Should I watch the Movie before Brotherhood? I'll probably still go through FMA skipping most of the filler though.
Click to expand...

I believe the movie follows the standard of taking place *sometime* during the main story but doesn't have any implications on the main storyline. I'm not sure if there's a suggested point in the main story that's recommended for viewing it off the top of my head. I haven't seen it in awhile.

They have had ads on the envelopes for awhile now. But I can't remember if I ever saw for new movies that were hitting soon.

As long as they stick with movies and it's not too much, I'm fine with this. Gotta keep the amazing service going.

They started putting stuff on envelopes since last Halloween. Sometimes they're ads, sometimes they're celebrating holidays.

I used the link above and made some user profiles but I wasn't prompted to select one when I booted up the 360 app or the web browser player. Are these not supported yet or is there a way to manually switch profiles?

Maybe it is part of their content deals. Dreamworks does have a Turbo show coming out.
