Wheels on Meals is so god damn fresh.

Just finished watching Pi. Was exactly was I was in the mood for (psychological thriller) and was really good.

Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yeun Biao of the 80s are god-tier.

Makes me sad with them getting older there will never people guys like that ever again. They came from a completely different era of film making that allowed their physical attributes, creativity, and totally reckless life endangering feats for pure cinematic enjoyment to redefine martial arts and action cinema again and again.

Anyone having a problem viewing netflix from a desktop browser? My videos will play then out of nowhere 5 minutes later I'll get a transparent bar that says "loading" but it will never load, wont even show progress. I refresh the browser page and the video starts right up from where it left off, but does the same thing like five minutes later.

Edit: Here's a screen cap of the problem

Couldn't have said it better. These films are timeless. Doesn't even matter they're in another language, the body language present in this is so unviersal it could be a silent film.

You know one of my favorite Jackie movies has to be Dragon Lord, well at least the hacky sack sports match scene was one of them.

I can't find it, I searched for it but get no results.

GK86 · (03-04-2012, 07:36 AM)

Just watched The Shire. It starts off a bit slow, but it gets really good. There is a lot of polish dialogue, with no subtitles. Which I think its a good move. Keeps the mystery of what the heck is going on.

It's a good, creepy, scary movie. Anyone looking for a horror flick, should give it a shot.

ChanDangle · (03-04-2012, 08:19 AM)

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, damn this movie caught me off guard. Recommended.

Yeah, can't find it either, too bad.

Another positive recommendation for Dead Zachary, that was very emotional.

EDIT: Damn, seems that Pandorum was here on tv only yesterday, bummer.

Really?

I was having problems connecting to Netflix on the PS3 (It said failed to connect) but usually if the DNS thing stopped working before it would just redirect me to the UK one, but last night it just wouldn't boot up at all. Figured it was a problem with the app

Yes on netflix. Though I think it may be region restricted...you see, I live in Canada. ;)

Same reason why I can't find "Wheels on Meals" on my netflix.

henhowc · (03-05-2012, 04:32 AM)

Pandorum was actually available on Netflix in the US awhile back. I think it might have been through Starz or just expired in general.

Yup. I just watched the trailer in the iTunes store and it says: "Overture Films - a starz company".

Maklershed · (03-05-2012, 12:04 PM)

Pi, Religulous, and Life (tv show) were just added recently. All three of those are pretty good.

Bl4ckSunsh1n3 · (03-05-2012, 01:22 PM)

The Lincoln Lawyer isn't bad. It was worth watching.

What's the deal with PSN? Every time I want to use it I need to delete it and reinstall.

Another vote for SENNA I know next to nothing about F1 racing, incredibly interesting and really original way to make a doc (uses only archival footage the entire time) No idea Senna died, made the ending hit much harder
Watched BEing Elmo to wash down SENNA, great doc, very heart warming

I have a question that is not related to this thread so excuse me in advance if i make it here but I am not a native english speaker and I need to ask you guys a question.

Could you tell me what statement is more correct in english ?

In the initial 5 days of the patients infection they were cured with antibiotics.

or

In the initial 5 days of the infection of the patients they were cured with antibiotics.

Thanks a lot.

In (or within) the initial five days of infection, patients were cured using antibiotics.

That's how I'd say it, unsure of the comma use though haha. Or you could flip it and say:

Patients were cured using antibiotics in (or within) the initial (or first) five days of infection.

Use the stupid questions threads.

Not saying your question is stupid, just the thread title, and a thread to ask small questions like this.

I'd say

"Antibiotics cured the patient's infection within 5 days."

DeathNote · (03-05-2012, 09:23 PM)

The first one is more correct.

How Beer Saved The World is one of the worst "documentaries" I've seen since Celsius 41.11 and Zeitgeist. It's on an Ancient Aliens level of bullshit. Your 45 minutes are more precious than this, and if this thing keeps popping up on your top 10 to watch like it did mine then do yourself a favour and skip it.

what I've realized is that netflix's recommendations and the titles it shows you on your front page or whatever are complete and utter bullshit. I go to amazon or itunes or anything else, look at a "people also enjoyed" category or something similar, and check netflix until I find something.

daviyoung · (03-06-2012, 09:37 AM)

Yeh, I'm noticing this. The Top 10 for me are absolute tripe, as if they're pushing me to watch them for marketing reasons only.

The 'Like:' selections are pretty decent for the most part though.

henhowc · (03-06-2012, 09:43 AM)

No issues for me, though it was down a couple nights ago for a few hours for maintenance.

element · (03-07-2012, 06:56 AM)

holy shit. i couldn't find ANYTHING worth watching on netflix tonight.

it is kinda sad now.

Discotheque · 07:42 AM

I thought they were putting up the Babar tv series but all I've got is two God damn measly films.

Still, it will suffice for tomorrow.

edit: never mind, crisis averted. It's up. Fuck yeah King of the Jungle. All 6 seasons.

bjork · (03-07-2012, 08:33 AM)

I just watched Chasing Ghosts, and it was a bit of a bummer. Seeing these old "stars" of the arcade days as weirdly maladjusted old men, other than Billy Mitchell.

krzy123 · (03-07-2012, 12:43 PM)

Not sure if new, but I see Luther Season 2 is up.

Is Babar something that actually holds up for adults? I know I watched it as a kid, but I don't really remember much else (An elephant family and maybe a hot air baloon? Arby's tie in mugs? Sledding?) and would be interested in checking it out if there is something there for an adult audience.

Within five days of infection, the patients were cured with antibiotics.

Have you seen King of Kong? Because it paints the complete opposite picture.

Not...really. I just like it for nostalgia purposes.

I guess if you still like Arthur and shows of that ilk then Babar would hold up for you. If you find it too childish now then nah.

Is there anyway for Netflix to remember that I picked the normal UI and not the Just for Kids portal every time I launch Netflix on PS3 now? It's a small issue to click through it, but... :)

Hold down start and select when the app is initialising to reset everything.

icarus-daedelus · (03-08-2012, 06:49 AM)

I remember reading about Babar -allegedly- being French colonialist propaganda once. Tell me if it makes you want to civilize some Algerians, Disco.

Discotheque · (03-08-2012, 07:05 AM)

Haha oh wow. There's definitely an underlying theme of "civilizing the savages" but please let me just watch my elephant show without thinking about these things, icarus!!

Yes to the bolded. Unfortunately, I'm a little harder to appease - I'll also need Tiny Toons Adventures, Freakazoid, Batman: The Animated Series, Doug, and (especially) The Adventures of Pete and Pete. In fact, they can just directly inject that last one right into my veins.
