What are you watching on Netflix and Amazon Prime?

Dolemite was awesome.....Not just funny but inspirational as well...I loved it.....My papaw had two of Dolemite's albums when I was a kid...I didn't realize that's whose albums he had until I saw the covers in the movie....

 

[JettaKnight]

Hmmm, that a good movie to watch now that the wife is out of town....

Someone posted about Dexter in this thread. I tried it out and got hooked. I actually like it.

I'm also watching the Mentalist.

I made it through the first episode a while ago, but it just didn't grab me at all.

Just watched Blade Runner tonight for the first time.

That's a weird one.

If ever there was a time I thought you should be banned....

Living with Yourself - A Netflix original series starting Paul Rudd. He plays a guy that's semi-deppressed and stuck in a rut with his work and home life so he goes to a "spa" on the recommendation of a co-worker to have his DNA enhanced, but winds up with a clone of himself that's better in every way.

It's pretty interesting in the way that it's shot and edited. It's sort of a dark comedy, but the way they present the story is neat because they play with time and show scenes over lapping from different character perspectives. It's also weird seeing Paul Rudd playing a loser type character. He is really good in it, playing both roles and interacting with himself a lot.

It's 8 episodes, all less than 30 minutes. Once you get through the first one it picks up steam pretty quick. I plowed through it last weekend in two sittings and I'm still thinking about it. It's hard to describe, but I liked it.

Hah, I'm trying my best to see things I should have seen by now. Figured since the movie took place in November 2019, it was appropriate. It's nice to see they were optimistic enough to assume Atari would still be around as a major player. They did correctly predict that Coke would dominate Pepsi. Never did get past green phosphor CRT monitors, though I understand when predicting the future they couldn't necessarily know how to fake an LCD. It's kind of odd... today we can make-up future tech with ease... but in 1982 it was all so new that it wasn't easily predicted.

On the topic of Harrison Ford... I've still never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies... they're on my list.

Really?!?

Watch them in order, of course, but I'll give you my personal ranking.

1. The last crusade
2. Raiders of the lost ark
3. Temple of doom
4. Crystal skull

3. Temple of doom
4. Crystal skull

Crystal Skull really doesn't belong on the list at all and isn't really worth watching unless you just want to laugh at it.

 

[indiucky]

If you like "girl alone in the house and there's a killer on the loose" I can't recommend Hush enough....Edge of your seat from start to finish....

French, I think you mean. And they were speaking it in France. It kinda added to the realism.... one of my pet Peeves, is how in a lot of old WW2 movies all the Nazis had British accents.

season 2, Kut. Its Spanish. Venezuela...

 

[Hawkeye]

Maybe it's just me, but I notice a lot of shows now days seem to have an inordinate amount of foreign languages in otherwise English series?

Yes. I'm seeing that more and more.

In 1982 there was no CGI. So would have been really cheesy to simulate even if their imaginations would have dreamed it.

Wait. WHAT? You’ve never seen a Indiana Jones movie?


Mods. Perma-uber ban for the INGO memberberry known as GP-whatever.

And you're on the thin ice with GPIA too, with that nonsense. Raiders of the Lost Ark, clearly is the best.

 

[jamil]

I would go with Raiders, Temple, Crusade. Not a lot of distance between them though. So no one needs banned because of mis-ordering them: you’re forgiven. Chrystal Skull makes the list just because it’s on the list.

 

[Rookie]

Crusade - 10
Raiders - 9.9
Temple - 5
Crystal skull - negative 2

 

[ccha8778]

Netflix Favs: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, The Seven Five, Sons of Anarchy

Prime Favs: The Wire

Those shows and the documentary are highly addicting in my opinion and should keep you entertained for a while haha.

 

[JettaKnight]

Crusade - 10
Raiders - 9.9
Temple - 5
Crystal skull - negative 2

Yup.

I made my wife watch Temple (non Netflix) - because it's Indiana Jones and I love that movie!

Then when it was over, my wife and I looked at each other:
"Wow, I don't remember that movie being that bad."
"Kate Capshaw is a shrill, hollow stand in."
"The action just doesn't stop, so there's no time for any plot or characters or ..."
"huh."
"huh."

At least you're doing it. Just because announcing them - some of us have we hearts.



I've been doing the same with my wife - made her watch Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Apocalypse Now, Temple of Doom, Rosemary's Baby, Night of the Living Dead, etc., etc.


At a minimum, she now gets all the movie quotes. Like when I lose something and search for it at home: "Just give me back that [thumbstick], Lance. It's a good [thumbstick], and I will not harm you; just give it back."
