Oof. It's ridiculous that I've never seen Brother's Keeper til now, especially with how important the Paradise Lost docu was to me. Just finished BK, and am weeping like a girlyman.

Agreed its great
I finally watched bright leaves & loved it

I'm about to watch this. It was recommended to me by Netflix for my interest in Annie Hall and Taxi Driver. That's such a weird function.

Yeah, that was really good.

a. and i were *so sure* they had altman's popeye streaming, but no. they did have athens, ga: inside/out, so we watched that.
― butterfield earth (get bent), Monday, 11 April 2011 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link
popeye used to be in the rotation. i do hate when they push a movie on you for awhile and then when you're finally in the mood of course then it's gone. watched karate kid yesterday, the paper chase before bed last night, i'm not sure why i did in either case (somehow suspect watching the social network again recently is at the root of both viewings). why did you watch athens ga inside/out and what did you think? also do ppl outside of athens die laughing when dreams so real pop up?
― balls, Monday, 11 April 2011 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
why did you watch athens ga inside/out and what did you think?
it was in my bf's queue and he hadn't seen it before. i think it's sweet. my impression of dreams so real is that people don't take them very seriously, but i like the one song they have in the movie. we were laughing at the kilkenny cats cuz they seemed like out of anyone, they were really determined to MAKE IT.

My DVD player broke down, which is wonderful because I recently learned that some Blu Ray players have Netflix Watch Instantly! This is what I've been waiting for for years.

ENBB if you haven't seen it, there is a later well-known docu by the same guys called Paradise Lost which broke my heart and brain for a good long while; it also deals with false confessions but goes into much more depth abt the subject and... well, see it if you haven't.
Also I want to pimp the hell out of My Winnipeg on this thread-- soooo great. I was meh on Twilight Of The Ice Nymphs and Saddest Music in the World but My Winnipeg kicked my ass, best thing Guy Maddin has done since Careful imo.

My PS3 broke last night. Do any of the Blu-ray Netflix players support 1080?
― rockapads, Monday, 11 April 2011 04:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Thank Jon. Watched the PL trailer and it looks pretty intense but unfortunately it's not on available instantly. If it was I would have watched it last night. Will add to reg q now.
I just looked up stuff on Ward brothers: Delbert Ward died at age 66 at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown on August 6, 1998. Roscoe Ward died at age 88 on June 23, 2007. Lyman Ward died at age 85 in Utica, NY on 15 August 2007. Also, I totally had a dream about Delbert and still can't get the image of Lyman shaking on the stand out of my head. Man.

Been rewatching X-Files. Last night settled in for a couple and found that Netflix had stopped splitting them up by season. Now it's just one big block of 202 episodes. Don't know if I like this development. Or maybe it's more convenient.

they're doing that to all the series gradually, i think. they just did it with buffy and i've seen it elsewhere as well

xp: I've been very pleased with my Panasonic DMP-BD85 (now replaced by the $170 DMP-BDT210) which streams Netflix over wi-fi. Menu speed on the BD85 is slow on bootup, and Netflix image quality is supposedly limited by my wireless bandwidth, but plays with no hiccups or compression artifacts on a 40" screen. Purchased when I thought my Oppo DVD tray had developed a taste for eating discs.

i guess that this would be the thread for this -- i recommend this crazy-ass East German 1970s sci-fi film called in the dust of the stars (im Straub der Sterne). first Youtube video is direct from the film, the second has some techno over original footage -- if you're intrigued, you have until Wednesday to watch it online (it expires on the 21st).

Weirdly enough, The Way Things Go is not the film you get when you try to watch it. (That wasn't a sentence.)
