I agree. I find it interesting overall but nothing more than that. I would have preferred if it was one season and done honestly.
I also agree that it should have been all done in one season. I really wished they started with Pablo's early years, there was so much good stuff left out from the book.
I just noticed that Netflix has added several titles from my favorite Japanese animation house, Studio 4°C: One of the greatest films of the entire aughts, Masaaki Yuasa's Mind Game; http://www.netflix.com/title/80063295 Two really excellent collections of shorts, Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond; http://www.netflix.com/title/80063625 http://www.netflix.com/title/80063805 and a feature that I downloaded forever ago ...but admit that I haven't had a look at yet: Sunao Katabuchi's Princess Arete. http://www.netflix.com/title/80063294 I was originally made aware of the above biscuits thanks to the custom sub underground. It's pretty exciting to me that these beauties have finally received some official English-language love.
I don't think anyone has mentioned Troll Hunter. I thought it was hilarious and charming. There is an old thread on the movie here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38504 I can see how some folks wouldn't like the style of film making, but I thought it really worked well.
Finally watched this last week after sitting in my queue forever. It was enjoyable. The straightforward approach to trolls was good. Whenever there was a question about some aspect, they had a reasonable answer for it...in regards to trolls. Plus the scenery was beautiful. The outdoor, daytime shots were really gorgeous. I may have to visit Norway.
I highly recommend Doomsdays on Netflix. It truly has some funny scenes in it. Leo Fitzpatrick is downright hysterical as Bruho. I felt old watching it because I saw Kids in 1994 at a movie theater and that was almost half a lifetime ago.
Watched Manson Family Vacation today. It started off strong, and could have really been fun and weird, but it kinda flatlined into normalcy at the end. Nice to see the "other" Duplass brother in something for a change.
Solid recommendation! https://thedissolve.com/reviews/1641-doomsdays/ I caught Kids with a crowd, too. Had to cross over into Canada to catch Gummo. We're getting old, Chris.
Has anyone watched that new Aziz Anzari show Master of None? I watched the first 2 episodes and I loved it, can't wait for more.
Yes, Masters of None is great! It really resembles Louie but still manages to be unique somehow. Hopefully they do another season.
Gross! No way is this anything close to Louie. I love Aziz, but I was fairly disappointed. I stopped watching after 3 or 4 episodes.
Yeah, it's got nothing on Louie, but I don't know that those involved really set out to make something that resembles FX's finest show. Master of None was fine. A little stiff, but there were inspired moments, and Noël Wells is a total bag of buttons.
I figured with the amount of middle-aged males on this board this thread would be blowing up after Bob & David hit netflix last week!
W/B&D does not disappoint... SO! GOOD! Just awesome to have them back together again in this format... I'm already dying for more eps!
The opening to w/B&D is so disturbing. It's exactly like what I see when I'm regaining consciousness after fainting from laughing to hard. Mostly the flowing hair thing.
CYRIAK! http://www.cyriak.co.uk/ Apparently David contacted him directly to do the intro... he did the music, too...
One name that I never figured would bring any search result joy on Netflix is Walerian Borowczyk. Turns out that you can stream some of the most artful and oftimes disturbing smut ever produced over there:
Borowczyk was a really interesting guy - I can't recommend enough digging in to his life's work and story a bit. His painting and design work was quite spectacular, his animations varied and unique, and his historical erotica needs to be seen to be believed. Another something to hunt for are his films of his toys and automata. I hear tale he wrote some books, too. The Beast, for those that can stomach it, is essential streaming. I still can't believe that it's even an option.
Not sure if it's new to the service or not, but the Netflix robots just recommended one of my favorite sitcoms from the aughts to me, Black Books. Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran and Tamsin Greig. If you've never seen the hilariously depressing antics of Bernard, Manny and Fran before, you should treat yourself. Primarily written by it's creator and star, Dylan Moran, an added enticement to get you to have a look is that Graham Lineham - in the wilderness between Father Ted and The IT Crowd - co-wrote the first series.
