But Is It on Netflix? - Streaming Video Service Thread: Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, AT+T Watch, Philo, Playstation Vue, HBO Max, HBO Now, Facebook Live and many more

Society of the Snow on Netflix is really incredible. I don't think you could do a better job of getting across the horror and hardship of the situation (though my wife and i both claimed we wouldn't have a problem eating our fellow passengers, and she's a vegetarian!). Terrific cast.

i want to watch that but i was such a huge fan of the old movie version and for some reason that has stopped me.

I'd like to see the old version (Alive, 1993 I presume) to compare!

oh the old one is probably way hokier and less scary i was just always fond of it.

although the actual crash in the old one is really well done. very scary.

first episode of Elsbeth is on Hulu. gonna watch it tonight maybe.

FEATURING: Cruising (1980), Heaven’s Gate (1980), Xanadu (1980)*, Querelle (1982), Under the Cherry Moon (1986), Ishtar (1987), Cocktail (1988), Showgirls (1995), Barb Wire (1996)*, The Blair Witch Project (1999), Freddy Got Fingered (2001), Swept Away (2002), Gigli (2003), The Wicker Man (2006)

i've seen them all except for the last three.

as usual just way too many friggin' movies. i get FOMO from a teevee channel!!

+3 (or 4 or whatever it is) to Scavengers Reign. Absolutely amazing.

Also shades of VanderMeer's Southern Reach/Borne and Tartakovsky's Primal

v much so. had exactly the same comparisons in my head. it’s so good.

Hacks S3 Teaser:

First I was surprised that show was still on the air, then I was surprised this was the third season, then I was surprised that Piper Laurie was still alive, then I remembered she wasn't and that that was Jean Smart, and then I tried to remember the Jean Smart role that brought her back fore of mind before the first season of "Hacks," and then I remembered she was in season 2 of "Fargo" and man, was she good in that. I should rewatch that series from the beginning.

my fave sentence of the day, JiC. respect.

started watching scavenger's reign cuzza you guys last night. very cool. part of me wishes there were no humans in it but i'm like that. but still very cool. will watch it all eventually. too much to watch.

When Is Someone Gonna Make A Sci-Fi Show Or Movie Without Any People In Them?

Josh, Jean Smart is like two decades younger than Piper Laurie (R.I.P.)

i like when actors like her come into their own later in life. she's so awesome now. sort of the least remarkable designing woman? she often had the thankless task of just reacting to other sassy people on that show. raising an eyebrow. sighing. shrugging. shaking her head at delta. laughing at the genius that was alice ghostley.

this means I'd better get on finishing Season 2 which I was watching in fits and spurts while flying all over the place a year ago.

jean smart was also really good in Legion, and had a good role on Watchmen.

jean smart is a national goddamn treasure

Would definitely explain why the former is alive and the latter is not.

Well as of five months ago, sure…

Jean Smart was also very good in Mare of Easton. Looking forward to the return of Hacks.

Oh shit, that's right! Totally forgot about that show. That's based more or less on where I grew up.

is anyone else watching Shōgun on Hulu?
It is sooooo goddamn good

It looks fantastic (same showrunner as Counterpart!) but I'll wait for it to finish before starting

We're about halfway through Hijack, which is ridiculous but addictive, as Roz has said

got some long haul travel coming up and intending to download all of shōgun for it. looks v good.

have seen hijack and probably not the best for a flight but any more “ridiculous but addictive” recs v welcome. might just download a load of justified tbh.

Goliath!!

Loved the first episode of Shogun VG xps

Cosmo Jarvis certainly channeling his inner Tom Hardy. And that death by boiling scene was one of the most harrowing things I've seen in a TV show

Going to watch episode 2 tonight

loving it!
i said to Mr Veg it’s like chess with swords

lol i would not recommend Hijack anymore tbh, by the end it was just plain dumb and boring. idris elba needs better material.

i'm waiting for mr roz to get back from a work trip before starting Shogun... agree it looks great

Goliath!!

Jean Smart has always been the real deal, I'm glad she made that point known over the years

Goliath was so odd, each season felt like a different show. Don't know how addictive I found it after S1 but it's definitely ridiculous

yeah very strange show

Can't decide if I like Elspeth or not. I never saw the Good Wife, no idea if that backstory is neccesary but it felt like a kooky Columbo-meets-Kimmy Scmitt in a ... weird way.

I haven't watched it yet but mentioned on The Good Wife thread that Elsbeth is a character that seems best in small doses (I do plan to check it out though cause I pretty much love any show by the Kings).

I would suggest maybe watching some of her Good Wife/Good Fight episodes? They're always a treat and iirc she tends to appear on case-of-the-week episodes so you don't have to have watched the rest of the show to figure out what's going on.

Good wife is worth watching from start to finish

yeah the Kings show are fun for yell at the tv wtf-ery

*shows

i really like The Tourist on Netflix but i'm afraid you guys are going to tell me that it gets really bad and the 2nd season sucks. i hope not! i'm like 5 episodes in. i like the woman who plays the cop. her name is Danielle MacDonald. keep thinking i've seen her before in something. and she kinda reminds me of the cop on Resident Alien! who is played by Canadian actor Elizabeth Bowen. same sort of character too. someone who learns how to stick up for themselves and all that. and BOTH of them remind me of Merritt Wever in Godless which i loved. and i think Merritt Wever is one of the best actors on television. and one of the few American actors i truly enjoy watching though i haven't seen everything she's done. my three fave people to watch on teevee are probably her and Carrie Coon - though i sadly still really don't want to watch The Gilded Age!! - and Carrie Coon's Australian sister Anna Torv. someone please put all three of them in one awesome show or movie.

Really enjoying Shogun so far, although sometimes in spite of Cosmo Jarvis’s acting.

Love Shogun, including Cosmo Jarvis's note-perfect Richard Burton impression. It's all so lush and intelligent and great.

i'm afraid you guys are going to tell me that it gets really bad and the 2nd season sucks.

First season stays good throughout. We didn't even finish watching the second season. It was very bad.

episode 3 of Shōgun review:

in the book version of the scene where Toranaga invites Yabu to watch the sunrise with him, they end it by whipping out their dicks and pissing off the balcony together. it explicitly says they cross streams. i don't know why they cut that. 3.5 stars pic.twitter.com/C7JlfGwkpv

— lauren (@Very__Regular) March 6, 2024

Um, in Ghostbusters they explicitly say not to cross the streams

shogun is really good. also extremely happy to hear nestor carbonell revive his batmanuel accent from the original 'the tick' live action series

I loved the scene with the doctor in the latest episode.

They are doing a good job of subverting the White Savior trope.
