hulu has lots of anime

I've been over there and sometimes I find something good but I hate digging through tons of shows only to find the stream beginning with japanese. I wish they would mark them more easily so you know when something is in english or not.

I think the last thing I watched was Steinsgate and Black cat.

[crazy monkey]

I watched bill burr holyshit he was funny.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Redbox Instant is such garbage. Movies refuse to stream . And now I can't cancel because it's throwing up server errors the dozens of times I've tried to cancel, it also won't let me delete my cc. It feels like I'm using one of those old seedy scam websites.

It was really disappointing. I canceled out of that shit as soon as I could.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I tried it but I prefer enlgish voices exclusively. Don't hate me NEOGAF.

Doesn't Crunchyroll have English and Japanese VO?

 

[Jackben]

Adaptation was meh.

If you want a streaming service that caters to dub fans you're probably stuck with Neon Alley (lol) or the Funimation service, which I think only has a client on Roku (and some crappy tablet apps).

I prefer dubs too. Sub-titles are distracting. Kind of why I have difficulty watching foreign films. Yes I am a dirty uncouth american. haha

I shudder at the thought.

All dubs I've tried listening to are horrendous and completely ruin the film. I watched Spirited Away dubbed and it was the only one that wax bearable.

Subs all the way.

 

[jakncoke]

Yeah both of his stand ups on Netflix are pretty funny.

 

[redlemon]

Are there any good travel shows on netflix at the moment?

 

[FloatOn]

Adaptation was meh.

How? I thought it was excellent. A movie that Nicolas Cage wasn't awful in.

 

[jakncoke]

Nicolas Cage is awesome

I loved the other stand up they have on streaming. His delivery is fast, and quick. And he awesome in Parks and Rec's. I will definitely be checking out the new one.

 

[Mr.Swag]

I liked Adaption
Saw it the other day, surprised me a bit

 

[jakncoke]

I was going to recommend Thumbs Up, but it expired on instant watch :/. David Choe and his nephew hobo across the country over a 6-7 part mini-series.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is pretty good.

Edit- Never mind, not on streaming.

 

[jakncoke]

Damn you, i thought they had brought that back to instant watch for a second.

 

[GK86]

Oh man, didn't notice it was dvds only. I was pumped to watch it later too lol.


Stupid dvd plan tricks me again.

Yeah I enjoyed the first one that was up, I love Aziz on Parks and I think he's pretty entertaining

 

[jakncoke]

For whatever reason I started up watching Alaska State Troopers. Watched the first 3 episodes which I guess is the entirety of the 1st season. Look at season 2, ep1 isnt available on instant stream but the rest of season 2 is. Why do they do shit like that? Has happened in a couple shows to me over my time in netflix.

Season 1 has 6 or 7 episodes. I always figured it was the studios way of trying to entice you to buy the dvd/blu-ray.

 

[AndresON777]

Just started Futurama today. It's pretty good!

 

[vazel]

.

 

[Akahige]

Damn you, i thought they had brought that back to instant watch for a second.

Shit it's not, I was planning I rewatching the entire series before his new show starts

 

[cryptic]

Rec 3 really turned to shit about halfway through. Overall I hated it.

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

Kudos to the cat that recommended Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2. Both were pretty entertaining. I enjoyed the first more than the second but, the second was still worth a watch.

 

[Jackben]

So close to March when a bunch of sweet shows drop. And I hope (THIS MEANS THAT IT ISN'T OUT BUT I WANT IT TO BE

Spoiler

please stop the death threats via PM

) Mad Men season 5 is added to streaming since the new season starts in April.

 

[TAJ]

For whatever reason i watched the very first episode of SNL. Then noticed they have episodes of the first 37 seasons up holy shit! thats a metric ton

Are all the episodes shown as aired?
I'd love to finally be able to see Attack of the Masturbating Zombies again. It got banned from TV almost immediately.

EDIT: Edited even more than on TV? Well fuck...

I have watched about 4 episodes on season 1 and for whatever reason I jumped to season 16. Season 1 has all the music and stuff it seems, each episode a hour long. season 16 has none the music and I think most if not all the skits. Also watched the best of dan akroyd this weekend, fucking lol'd so hard at the jane you ignorant slut skit

 

[zou]

Netflix is seriously fucked up with their recommendations (my weekly rant).

I watched Louis CK's standup multiple times, I've rated all his shows. I also watched Aziz Ansari.

What does my "recommended for you" show? Obviously neither of those. Instead, half the list is shit I would never watch and the other half is shit I already watched in the past.

How fucking hard can it be.

Edit: What's also fucking hilarious is that their recommendations are all 2/5, 3/5 with one 4/5. And Louis CK? 5/5. Aziz? 4/5. Good stuff.

 

[amrod]

Just finished House of Cards, it was meh :\
Will there be a season 2?

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

awesome show haha

 

[Leona Lewis]

I actually have a question about the recommendations: are the ratings the community ratings, or the rating the site predicts you will give it?

 

[Enco]

Side By Side - An interesting documentary with a crap load of directors. Never really knew much about the topic so it was a great watch to learn about the debate of film vs digital

 

[jakncoke]

Yes

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I don't know if there's a secret way to list what is new that actually works, but this is the bane of my Netflix existence. How in the world is it like this.

 

[FlyinJ]

I would like to know this as well. I had a link to a site that was "new on streaming" for Netflix, but there is no way it is correct as I've seen new stuff on NF that didn't show up on their list.

 

[GK86]

Yeah, they are making season 2. Which, I think, will be the final one. No idea when it is suppose to release.

I actually have a question about the recommendations: are the ratings the community ratings, or the rating the site predicts you will give it?

It is a fucked up system, that doesn't really work (for the most part). It is going by community ratings.

Side By Side - An interesting documentary with a crap load of directors. Never really knew much about the topic so it was a great watch to learn about the debate of film vs digital

Yeah, it was fascinating to watch. Never knew there was such a debate between the two formats.

It is a fucked up system, that doesn't really work (for the most part). It is going by community ratings..

The rating system is usually pretty spot on.
I think Transformers Dark of the Moon has like half a star, so people really give their honest opinions of movies & not just automatic zero stars & 5 stars for everything.

The fact you have to be a paying customer to rate movie is another huge plus.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I wasn't bashing the ratings system, but the recommendations. I think it could be way better.

 

[jakncoke]

I wish once you watched something on there it would never show up again in your recommendations. Basically perfect thing would be separated by 3 criteria. Movies you never watched on Netflix nor rated, Movies you have rated but havent watched on netflix , and movies that you both rated and watched on netflix. I think would make finding diamond in the rough material more easier.

 

[MBison]

Watched Compliance, which is based on a real life case that happened several years ago when a guy prank called a restaurant pretending to be law enforcement. Hilarity did not ensue.

Overall decent but not amazing. Feels like an episode of Dateline since it's pretty much exactly like the real life event. Kind of shocking that it happened, I'll definitely never listen to a police officer over the phone. Like ever.

Good performances, Ann Dowd the restaurant manager was nominated for several awards.

If you want to be more disgusted, read about the case afterward.

 

[RedAssedApe]

they really need to institute a profile system with the way they handle recommendations right now. i share my account with my brother since my nieces like to watch all the kids stuff and all my recommendations are cartoons hah

 

[JLG-]

awesome show haha

Yes!

I liked it so much i ended up buying the dvd's off amazon. S1 is only $6.99

 

[dose]

I didn't think it was possible but I'm hating the PS3's 'Playing next' screen that appears after you watch a TV episode even more than before. They need to get rid of that thing or make it as an option ffs. I've been watching Breaking Bad and there are two things that annoy the fuck out of me....

1) Once the 'playing next screen pops up, even if you pause the credits the countdown continues and the next episode starts playing! WTF. Say I want to go the toilet or grab some food inbetween episodes?

2) Showing a screengrab of the next episode.... I don't want any spoilers thanks, I don't want to see characters that'll be in it, or showing what/where they're going to be. Seriously, they need to turn that shit off.

I did this recently too. being from England it's not part of our culture in the same way as the states and so it's a real education in comedy history. I thought that first ep was really funny actually (the spoof three-blade razor ad made me lol, oh the irony...) but if you really want something legendary watch the Richard Pryor episode. It's INCREDIBLE. There's this sketch with Belushi doing a samurai impression that had me crying, plus the classic sketch with Chevy and Prior saying racial shit at each other. Really great piece of history.

The mid 2000s episodes seem really good, the cast is insane at points - Amy Poelher (I am developing such a crush on her), Kristin Wiig, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Jason Sudekis, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg... it's an incredible group. There's a later ep where Tracey Morgan hosts that was really funny, and the Anna Hathaway ep was great too.

I need to find a good article on the best (and worst) episodes.

Oh cool, is that the Keanu one? I heard it's good.

Yeah, it is the Keanu one. Very interesting, and a good watch.
