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).

great film, great art and one of the all time best punchline endings i can remember.

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

Yeah, I want to know more about this guy now. Curious as to how the film and his exposure to NY might have changed him.

but we are not actually gen x-ers. i think that as teens when this movie came out, it was like fantastical adulthood. but i was still like, troy dyer, get a grip.

watched a pretty good 60's girl groups doc from 1982 called, well, Girl Groups. interesting interviews with Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector and lots of live performances I hadn't seen before.

xp to robyn - omg that was our fave film of all time when me and my best girls were teenagers! and for exactly the same reason! but we loved troy and hated ben stiller's character. then i rewatched it last year for the first time since then and troy completely repulsed me. he's such a douche! like in every way! ugh

It's probably just the free aspect, but, in the way I streamed a bunch of Tony Scott action movies a few months ago, I just really enjoyed Salt.
― more horses after the main event (Eazy), Sunday, 15 May 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah Salt was surprisingly watchable, my first Jolie flick! Big fan except when she looked like a bloated Ralph Macchio.

I too enjoyed Yojimbo. I think it's better than 7 Samurai.

Watched "The Parallax View" the other night. Don't know if it's as good as its recent reputation, but it's got good performances, great Gordon Willis cinematography and is weirdly loopy in places. But the "training film" in the movie is as amazing a piece of short filmmaking as I've ever seen.
― Shart Shaped Box (Phil D.), Thursday, 16 June 2011 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Suspect Zero - pretty good mindless romp with Kingsley and Aaron Eckhart and the ever-boring Carrie Ann Moss squaring off. Commendable representation of concept of 'remote viewing' psyops - otherwise 'eh ...
Just saw how many Criterion are now missing. Netflix is basically turning into the equivalent of Starz - whu happpennndd?
