Just watched "I Think We're Alone Now" about two disturbed dudes obsessed with Tiffany. Pretty interesting, if a bit depressing.

Come to think of it, both of the dudes are probably ILM regulars.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work was great, I really enjoyed it.

did they just add an HD feature/button today or did i just get it/notice it today?

No, they've been offering some stuff in HD for a while now.

Yeah that Joan Rivers doc is pretty great. She's kind of simultaneously terrifying and amazing at the same time.

"ive been watching this too. I had no idea it was gone :("
i goofed or something. i watched the first couple episodes and then couldn't find it on the netflix menu on my t.v. and then i found it on the "recently watched" menu. so i got to watch the whole first season. such a sad show in a weird way. i don't know why it wasn't on the regular t.v. menu anymore. they just add and remove things randomly i guess.

I kind of hate this because I always go looking with something in mind and it's never available.
I am snowed in and need something to watch. Would I like the Joan Rivers thing? Tiffany one also strangely appealing. Any other suggestions for a lazy, snowy afternoon?

Love that Tiffany doc.
― I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:41 (thirteen years ago) link
ENBB the Joan Rivers doc is worth a look. It adds some more layers to her, so that she's not just scary-plastic-surgery lady (but she absolutely is that too, lol)
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:44 (thirteen years ago) link
streaming netflix isnt really abt looking, its abt finding

I get fed up too easily I think. Gonna try the Tiffany one but welcome more ideas.

I watched about 20 minutes of this terrible movie called Gypsy '83 the other night. It was about a chubby goth chick who works in a photo hut in a parking lot, and she has a fey little goth buddy, and they terrorize the straights together. Sort of hilarious in a so-bad-its sort of way but definitely not for everyone.
― I Am Kurious Assange (polyphonic), Monday, 27 December 2010 18:48 (thirteen years ago) link
oh man what were the names of those little drive thru parking lot photo huts? There was a chain I remember going to all the time as a kid.

Avatar is so good! Just started the third season/book/whatever you want to call it.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 27 December 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
hope they put up season 2 and 3 eventually on the netflix.
― scott seward, Monday, 27 December 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
they won't phase out regular discs until they massively upgrade their content for instant streaming, which is still paltry, in my experience.
quality wise: well I have really awful badwidth, ATT dsl which is supposed to be 3 mpbs but it more like 2 at best. MOST things look pretty bad to me (but the vast majority of things I wind up streaming are kids cartoons for my son and he doesn't care). Louis looks great though for some reason, guess because it's HD; but Parks and Rec is supposed to be HD also and it doesn't look nearly as good. I stream everything via AppleTV. Hopefully, when I move, I can get back on a decent internet line.

i watched a film called 'teenage dirtbag' last month that was pretty bad (production quality wise) but was weirdly affecting. I recommend it if you are bored and want to bum yourself out.
― akm, Monday, 27 December 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
otm
also: polyphonic, you live in the berkeley area right? we're in el c and have been bemoaning the shitty slow att dsl we have, and wondering why the hell the faster speed isn't available in our area... on the cusp of getting cable, we called att and the higher speed IS now available, for NO extra cost, so you should give them a call and get them to switch you over.

uh, the one upthread
I live on the cusp of berkeley and albany right now, I'm not sure what the problem with ATT DSL is over in that area but yeah, you can't get anything faster. Get comcast, it's way better (I'm subletting someone's house right now and didn't want to reconfigure everything for six months, otherwise I would have dumped it. I did call ATT and make them change the rate to $20 though because I said $45 a month was unconscionable for such shitty service and they agreed).

duh my post was directed at akm, not polyphonic - i am a retard obv.
we didn't have to do anything to switch to the faster dsl - tbh i don't know if it is in fact any faster as we haven't reset our modem yet (we're not staying at our place right now).

Two greats from the 00ss:My Winnipeg (Guy Maddin). This really turned me around on him.Julia - with Tilda Swinton at her most mesmerizing. Feels almost like a condensed season of Breaking Bad with all the escalating, crazy plot turns and terrible decisions. There is really no reason this shouldn't be a mainstream hit.
