    That's phenomenal. I love this movie.

    My biggest problem with the movie
    Spoiler: Mild Spoilers

    The drug seemed to do whatever was needed for the scene. Yeah you get total recall of everything, the ability to file and sort info to see patterns better, but you also get more creative? Wouldn't a book by such a person be boring and dry? He also shows absolutely no creativity in dealing with his problems. The first thing I would have done is sick the Russian on the PI. Two birds, one stone. Instead he kinda...stalls...until he HAS to confront the problem.

    Still: visually striking and has a legitimately tense scene I loved.

    As for Sherlock: three 1 1/5 hour episodes but yeah, weird.

    Terriers! Still can't buy it on DVD or Blu-ray, and no release is planned that I know of, but it's been available on Amazon Instant since it aired and now it's on Netflix. Great show! Only one season, then it got cancelled, but it is totally worth watching.

    And I can finally watch Spaced. Yay!

    I'm presently watching the recent Netflix addition of Fritz Lang's Metropolis as scored by Giorgio Moroder.

    It's so wrong, but so good.

    Red, White, And Blue. I'm not linking to any trailers or reviews because I think you should go in as cold as possible, but in the interests of disclosure I will affirm up front that at specific moments it is hard to watch on a scale that teeters between Blue Valentine and Irreversible.

    Anyone else here about this? It's setting a new precedent, where netflix is basically funding a show on its own. Next thing you know, they could be doing their own original programming, or rescucitating other cancelled shows.

    Welcome to 9 months ago. Netflix has made a number of high profile deals for original programming, of which the Arrested Development revival is only the most recent. They won a bidding war with HBO for a new series from David Fincher a while back and they seem to have quite a few irons in the fire at this point.

    Would it be wrong to recommend that people watch Terriers in this thread? If not, I would so recommend.

    Pretty uneven but awesome question posed to the kid.

    Yeesh, you weren't kidding. At first, I was sort of charmed by the fact that it was trying to include as many conspiracy theories as possible in the first 30-45 minutes, but then it just sorta devolved into

    It was still sorta fun, but that's only because I really enjoy bad movies.

    I noticed they took off almost all the animated Justice League and Batman movies. Gone are Mask of the Phantasm, New Frontier, etc.

    Netflix streaming as a service is kind of hit or miss, isn't it?

    Of course it is. They don't own anything they sell.

    I'm going through Breaking Bad and it gets better and better as the seasons go on. Does it peter out at some point or is it good up until the end?

    Yeah, the wife and I only just started Breaking Bad this year and went through all of the available episodes in short order. Easily one of my favorite shows currently on television. Along with Justified, Mad Men and maybe American Horror Story.

    Same here. Just started watching it a couple weeks ago and already into season 3. I can't believe how long I had such greatness just sitting there on my Netflix Instant queue... It was like discovering Firefly for the first time.

    I'm currently a disk-only Netflix subscriber. Is there any way to view what content is available on streaming? I can't find it if so, and if not then that's incredibly stupid.

    There might not be a way to do it on Netflix's site but if you check out instantwatcher.com you'll be presented with a much more robust search engine of Netflix's streaming catalog.

    There are some slow points in seasons 3 and 4 that are amplified if you are consuming them en mass. The show gets better and better, with the finale to season 4 probably being the best finale ever.

    You should have mentioned Cherie (sharee? Sherri?) from 30 Rock is in it. Although oddly while she's roughly a 14 on 30 Rock she's only a 9/10 with movie lighting. My theory is that she's so ridiculously hot that no additional amount of lighting can do her harm.

    Edit: Nevermind, she just stripped down. Back to 14.

    Watched this Tucker and Dale thing last night. Awesome! I kept waiting for Alan Tudyk to get impaled, because he specializes in that.

    Also, naked boobies in the background, but never prominent. What was up with that? And no one ever had sex and then died horribly (is that a spoiler?) because no one ever had sex. Don't they know how these movies work?
