I Like Killing Flies - Is awesome. It is a documentary about Shopsin's restaurant in NYC. Kenny Shopsin just may be the greatest philosopher of our generation.

I've seen this, and he's right- its very funny, especially the poor bard.. Theres stuff thats so bad it makes you cringe, like the loving demon kid, but among my D&D group, we still do the "Stegosaurus!" thing.

Yes, Dorkness Rising is awesome. I randomly watched it one night, and had to make a couple of my friends see it too. We all watched it through the Xbox's Netflix app in party mode. Its so terrible, but it's he right kind of terrible.

They have a first movie, which seems to be about that character he talked about at the end, The Shadow or something? It's from 2004 or something, and is only available to buy through their website.

fake edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorkness_Rising - It appears the first movie had different actors. I dunno, I really would want to watch those guys again. And I'd marry that girl (the ex-girlfriend that plays) in a heartbeat for the record.

They're got all the seasons of Lost on HD stream except for the last one. Any idea when they usually put the last seasons on stream? I may just have to send out for the disks.

They usually put the last season of a show up right before the next one starts, but since Lost is done I don't know what's going to happen. I assume that the reason they have shows like this up is because the stations that own them let them put them up cheaply or possibly even for free to try and catch more people for the actual TV run of an upcoming season. I wouldn't be surprised if Lost just kind of falls off the stream.

Aside from Comedy Special Presents, there are a number of live shows that I recently enjoyed.

Christopher Tidus' Love is Evol was pretty good. The guy is kind-of a one-trick-pony but he has some drat good stage presence.

What is the most you ever lost on a coin toss?
Netflix instant watch is my favorite thing ever since they put it on the XBOX 360. I cancelled cable, because it's that awesome!

There are tons of great titles and many films that I would never have watched without this instant watch feature.

Most recently I have enjoyed these that are available on netflix instant watch.

Rampage - never even heard of it, but I saw it on there and it seemed interesting enough. Definitely a good watch, very disturbing and I didn't care for their "cause" but I liked the movie and I thought the acting was pretty good. The best scene was the bingo hall, really well done. 3.5/5

Cool Hand Luke- one of those classics I missed, such a great film and Paul Newman just kicks rear end.

Dirty Harry - another classic that I was ashamed that I haven't seen, good thing I saw it on there the other day.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kaun - it has 3 and 4 on there as well. I wanted to see them all in order, so I rented the first one through DVD mail and then saw this one. The search for Spock is next.

Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment - very cool series, 8 episodes. 9 regular people are dropped into Alaska with supplies and a map to get to each cabin and I liked it.

Arrested Development: All 3 seasons - One of my all time favorite shows, love it. Am re-watching it at the moment for like the 5th time, lol.


It's got most seasons of The Office, Lost, My Name is Earl, X-Files, Law and Order, South Park, King of the Hill and many more.

I just watched Earth 2 streaming on my 360. I recall seeing it when it came out, but definitely didn't remember what the main plot was. If you like Sci-Fi (star trek), and want a show that is so totally LOST version 1(Locke is in it!), you should check it out.

Just be prepared for an unresolved series finale. Also, when I streamed it, the last 3 episodes were out of order. The final 2 on the list, were mid-season episodes, and made absolutely no sense after watching the 3rd to last, which was the actual finale (which I didn't realize).

Also, Clancy Brown.

Been watching When We Left Earth the last couple of nights. It is a multi-episode documentary of the various stages of our space program. Each episode covers one program (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, shuttle, space station, etc). It is full of cool footage and interviews with the astronauts that flew the missions.

Pretty good so far.

I watched Rampage last night and despite the reviews being mostly positive for some reason, it is just another terrible Uwe Boll film so don't be fooled. Although if you want to feel seasick from inexplicable extreme shaky cam for action packed scenes such as "two dudes eating fried chicken" then this might be just the movie for you.

Rampage is the worst loving movie I've ever seen, because it's basically Uwe Boll's self-insertion masturbatory critic murdering fantasy. He's like some kind of no-talent no-guilt Raskolnikov note that he gets away with all the money at the end? Yes, he has contempt for you too!

Just watched Triangle the other night, interesting little horror/suspense movie, not at all what you'd expect. Basically Primer on a boat.

It seemed to me like he couldn't get the GTA license and wasted Postal on a comedy soo...

It might have been salvageable as just a goofy shoot em up if they had stopped when dude gets the cash instead of tacking on that retarded camcorder segment at the end.

Primer on a boat is a great description. It's not without its flaws, but I had a lot of fun watching them pull off the premise (which would be a big spoiler to mention).

Netflix really wants me to watch Cashback for some reason. Almost every time I add a movie to my instant queue, Cashback will be one of the movies in that window of similar/suggested movies that pops up. Also, I wish there was some way to erase individual things off of my viewing history. I want to watch Live Nude Comedy, but I don't want my girlfriend to find out :(.

Save yourself some time and download some porn. The movie is basically a boring / ridiculous 20 something dramedy with occasional tits and a touch of full frontal.

Find a girl and watch TiMer.

I thought it was really very cute for what it is. It's an independent film that doesn't take itself too seriously, and while the climax is pretty callable, it still has fun dialogue and will score you cute points.

I don't want to give anything away, but watch this movie. It's VERY, VERY dark comedy and it's done very well. And it's directed by Bobcat Goldthwait! And it's GOOD!

Do not listen to this man. This is honestly one of if not the worst film I've ever seen.

Watch Let the Right One In instead, which I'm sure someone's already mentioned.

I tried Cashback. It was horrible, but I soldiered on until the stair case scene.



So worth it.
