dirksteadfast posted:Anybody else try out “The I-Land” and bail before the the first episode was over? Usually even if the show isn’t that great I’ll stick around for a second episode to see if it improves but either the writing was just that terrible or the actors received poor direction or they’re just bad actors because the whole thing felt like it was a really bad English dub, despite being entirely in English. I watched it because someone in a thread said it was a trainwreck and I wanted to see just how bad. Regretted it. Saw Neil Labute's name pop up for the credits and it was like "oh, no loving wonder"

This kinda fell under the radar, but Netflix put out Sion Sono's new film, The Forest of Love, and it's a full-on, ultraviolent, maximalist spiritual sequel to Cold Fish; the epitome of Sono's well-honed style. It's loving gnarly and pretty soul-numbing and really good

fenix down posted:I was trying to think of some recommendations to follow Tiger King, such as Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia (Prime), Stevie (Prime) and American Movie (?). Brother's Keeper, for sure. From the directors who went on to do Paradise Lost. Also Herzog's Into the Abyss. Only available as rentals in the US, but Into the Abyss is on Prime in the UK, fwiw Also not really true crime but absolutely has the hixploitation feel, Finders Keepers (available on all of Prime/Youtube/Hoopla in the US) Allyn fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Apr 2, 2020 |

Franchescanado posted:Crazy Love (2007) is on Hoopla and Tubi and is great for this. Errol Morris's Tabloid (2010) is also crazy like Tiger King, and it pops up on streaming often, but is currently nowhere to be found. Can't believe I forgot about Tabloid, yeah, that's exactly this kind of thing
