anatomi posted:The mix of styles in LD&R was super fun. And some of the effects were just insanely good. I agree with all this except I thought Good Hunting was pretty good, mostly cause of the setting a combo of time periods, and Fish Night and Zima Blue were unremarkable from a story standpoint.

Zima Blue was visually interesting and inspired a little bit of introspection and thoughtfulness in me. That's pretty good for a ten minute short.

Jessica Jones season one was pretty dang good just had pacing issues, Season 2 is written so bad that characters must have teleported and had psychic powers to arrive where the plot needed them

I really didn't need the CGI sex scene, though, but I guess that was to bring some great element of horror to the fact that he might not have merely been hallucinating the sex, but actually engaging in it with the space spider. But instead, it was kinda funny. It would have been better had it been like the end of Some Like It Hot, "Well, nobody's perfect!"

The space spider reveal makes up for everything on that short, the way it comes out of the shadows and it kinda looks like a tall big breasted alien and then nooooooope!

Iwan Rheon as Mick Mars can't even save The Dirt. It's as tedious as Bohemian Rhapsody but with obviously worse music. Do Not Watch. The Disappearance of Madeline McCann though, holy poo poo

https://twitter.com/Criterion/status/1109098719402737666 Looks like The Criterion Channel got all the original content produced for Filmstruck, plus they have films from the major studios... just in the first month, films from Warner (Mildred Pierce and True Stories), MGM (Blue Velvet), Sony (Punch-Drunk Love, Easy Rider), Paramount (Rosemary's Baby), and Universal (Do the Right Thing and Being John Malkovich).

Amy Schumer's new Netflix special is solid. I'm not normally a huge fan, especially of the one she did for HBO but I enjoyed this one and thought it was pretty consistently funny.

Since Hulu is 5.99 now and Netflix is going up in price I am thinking about dropping Netflix for Hulu. Is this a huge mistake? Has anyone else done this and been happy with it. Is the best strategy just cancel Netlix for a couple of months and then resub for a month and binge everything I missed.. I think I just answered my own question.

Hulu is crap for movies but great for TV. Original content is hit or miss but I will ride or die for Future Man.

The email I got today said that its going up to 12.99 for two screen HD, but still only 8.99 for one screen standard. Would I really be able to tell the difference between HD and Standard if I watch mostly on my monitor or a really old lovely TV?

I've seen a few CRT TVs that claim to be HD, but honestly, they're SD. If you have an old monitor, don't worry about it.

Netflix is only good for some of their top tier original series. But being honest they have been missing more than hitting lately. Haven't ventured with Hulu in a while being honest. Not sure if they have anything good.

Here in Asia, Netflix actually has a HD-less mobile-only subscribtion as the lowest tier.

Hulu does get great movies sometimes, just not in the quantity Netflix does. Off the top of my head, recently they've had Ingrid Goes West, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, I Tonya, Three Identical Strangers, Tabloid, etc. I think most if not all those are still on there too.

Hulu’s movie selection tends to be a bit more eclectic than most and it helps, whereas Netflix’s selection is almost entirely Originals, former blockbusters, or z-grade garbage. I usually find more to watch on Hulu each month than Netflix or even HBO.

Hulu also has a lot of great trashy tv if that's your bag. Like 30 seasons of Survivor, Jersey Shore, a bunch of Cutthroat Kitchen and Gordon Ramsay shows, etc Hulu kind of owns really

precision posted:Iwan Rheon as Mick Mars can't even save The Dirt. It's as tedious as Bohemian Rhapsody but with obviously worse music. Do Not Watch. The fun part of opinions I guess, I had the exact opposite reaction. The Dirt I found really entertainig and want to watch it again, but then I have seen Mötley Crüe twice so might be biased. My wife does not care for rock music though and also liked it. Madeline McCann was something that could have been (and has been) done in a 2 hour documentary, but they strung it out for whatever reason. Nothing new came to light, the pace was glacial and packed out with barely relevant detail at points. Maybe because I remember it at the time and have seen similar stuff before I was jaded to it. Whilst very different propositions though I would say we both watched The Dirt intensely with phones nowhere to be seen, where as by episode two of the McCann thing both of us were 'phone watching'.
