Despite the obvious Netflix exclusive connection, the recommendation does make sense.
For $2, can't hurt to check them out.
I hope it is a feature you can toggle on/off. I also have the subtitles on at all times.
Despite him being him its actually a decent doc
Its a decent season but...fuck them for killing my zoe
My jaw dropped when that happen. I really liked her character too.
I should have seen that coming since it happened in the British version but I was still really disappointed.
How is the British version? I avoided it thus far since I knew they were taking plot points and cues from it. I didn't want to spoil myself.

This is my problem too. I don't want to spoil or give myself ideas on what happens season 3 but I want to watch it!

Dat HOC S2 ending
. FU is a baller.
knock on wood
Just looks like they have whatever Mexico has.
A lot of people seem to be down on HoC S2, but I thought it was a good season. The first season is better though. For me, S2 fell apart in the middle after a very strong first few episodes. The last three were great. The plot can sometimes get out of control, but I kinda liked it.
It has a very different tone, and the seasons are much shorter, but if you don't mind the dated feel of it it's actually a pretty good show. There's more humor in the UK version which I appreciated. In some ways I think it's better, it's certainly tighter plot-wise. It's pretty obvious what will happen in the US version if you watch the UK version, though. If you don't want to be spoiled, once the US version is finished I would recommend watching it. (that or only watch the corresponding seasons you've seen in the US version)

I enjoyed the second more than the first. Seemed faster paced and more focused to me. Also love Molly Parker, so that helped.

Didn't even know they had Netflix there.
I have registered for Adfreetime yesterday. Works as good as Unblock-US, switching regions is easy. Subtitle blocker indeed also blocks English subtitles but is very easily to turn off and on.
No Argentina region, not that it matters to me.
And be careful, because the adblock is on by default I think. It makes sense with the name, but you can easily turn it off.

You can turn subs off already, even if people think they can't.

That is good to hear. Unblock expires for the month on Thursday for me. So I will give Adfreetime a shot.
Very true.
What are you in the mood for?
No, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to follow that with three vague categories of movies that you may or may not be interested in watching at the time.
I haven't watched the series in a while, but I seem to remember the first couple seasons having that weird Vaseline on the lens softness to it. I think season 3 or 4 was when their budget grew a bit and you can see an improvement in video quality.

I see what you're saying, Max needs work yet but, to play devil's advocate....Couldn't one make the argument that if you know what category of movie you want to watch at the time then Max really isn't the tool for you?
Also, guys and gals, I'm in search of a really good mind trip movie. I'm thinking mind bending like Donnie Darko or Primer. Off the wall like a David Lynch film (I've seen all of the good ones multiple times) would work as well. Even something so gory it makes me question what kind of person I am to be watching it would work if it also makes you think a bit and isn't just gore for the sake of gore. Production value doesn't really matter that much but, I'd like to stay away from anything having below B level horror acting at the very least (of which Netflix has a lot of...lol)
Any recommendations?
EDIT: region doesn't matter either.
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
Enter the Void (not sure if it's still on Netflix, but it's definitely worth seeking out)
Was about to say this. It is up in Canada if I'm not mistaken. (Edit- US actually)
Pi.
Time Crimes (I believe that is the name of it)
Jacob's Ladder
Haven't seem, but I heard good things:
Persona
Barton Fink (UK)
Requiem for a Dream (Canada)
You know in old wrestling tapes how they have to blur some the WF/WWF symbols now. Its like that. I dont recall this being the case my first run through, but its been 2-3 years since I watched the show.

Trippy on US:
Yeah, definitely Enter the Void
Antichrist
Melancholia
Pi
Beyond the Black Rainbow
Upstream Color
Jacob's Ladder
Irreversible
Samsara
Sometimes on US (not now), maybe other regions:
The Fountain
Scanner Darkly
Eraserhead
Paprika
Altered States
Triangle
I love these kinds of movies so I would like more suggestions as well!
Oh you mean labels and stuff in the background? Yeah they couldn't afford the rights to any product labels(I assume) so they have to blur everything. I mainly always noticed it on liquor bottles, lol.
Yeah basically any commercial product

Ah thanks. Looks like none of them on that list are available on any region at the moment, sorry.

I'll check out the recs that are available now. Thanks Gaf.
I have a list for the future now though.

I liked the first season a little more, but honestly my impression was probably influenced by how shocked I was this 'Netflix Originals' thing turned out to be such a high quality. S2 is still very strong.

I think Valhalla Rising is what you're looking for. Crazy, gory, and features the incomparable Mads Mikkelsen

Yeah that's a great one too. They go bonkers.
Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus is a movie about "tripping out" too, but it's a bit more on the indie-ish side than a mind-bender.

Awesome, I was a big fan of William Fitchner in Prison Break and I heard good things about his new show.

I watched Super last night. Surprisingly good!
side note: Are they ever going to add the rest of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episodes to streaming?

I've been sorta binge-watching Fringe over the past few weeks after taking a break after season 2. Just started season 4, and I have to say it's a great watch. I'm enjoying the overall story, but I also find it incredibly annoying how the show gets bogged down by the procedural monster-of-the-week type storytelling.
For real, though, they find out that another universe exists and it's trying to destroy them, but they decide to first focus on this one guy who kidnapped a kid? Makes no sense to me. There are bigger priorities that should be dealt with first.

Hmn, apparently I can't watch videos from The Onion here. That is a bummer.
