I love nerds! This was cute
Charlyne Yi embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn't fully understand: Love. |
Stoning of Soroya M.
Most moving thing I ever watched. |
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia
actually Christie and Jess turned me onto this movie. This movie is a total trip. It centers around a colorful West Virginia family. It's like reality TV rolled into a documentary. I can't even really describe it but it will make you laugh, cry and unsure if you should feel deep compassion or get these people their own island. Read the reviews at netflix... it will tell you more. I thought it was great. A few people remind me of them. lol I guess its funny because I live in Southern Virginia and this is all pretty common in these parts. lol |
I like netflix but honestly these days I've already watched the movies they are about to release. They seriously need to bump it up somehow.
anyone here of Graboid? I think I'm going to get a Sony Internet TV where I can access netflix, hulu and the like. Then I'm going to tell my raping cable company to kiss my ass! |
There was a documentary on Instant Play not too long ago called "Prodigal Sons." I highly recommend it.
Also, all the seasons of Wire in the Blood, most of the seasons of M.I.-5 and Waking the Dead -- all really good BBC or ITV shows from the UK are on Instant Play too. Another documentary I'd recommend is "Exit Through the Gift Shop." It's up for an Oscar, I think. Great documentary about graffiti artists, in particular Banksy. Jake |
I am thinking about getting either a Wii or a roku.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Is there anything special I need to know about my television? Are they hard to set up? I'm not very tech savvy, believe it or not. |
We love our roku, very small and easy to set up. BB took care of it all quite easily.

The newly released Canada version of Netflix has about a 10th of the movie selection.. still pretty good.. one price here $7.99.
They have the Secretary! :drool: |
roku is cool but if I get the new sony with google I'll get access to netflix and hulu but for an already existing tv yes, its great.
I bought my mom this antenna [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Amplified-High-Definition-Antenna-Reception/dp/B0007MXZB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298845851&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception: Electronics[/ame] she picks up local stations and then some. The picture is great. Lots of good reasons not to pay for cable. I wouldnt mind but sick sick of the prices and commercials on top of paying for programming. I watch all my shows via internet but an antenna would be nice for local. |
ok, a few good instant play finds on this rainy ass weekend...
Chaos Theory - This movie only goes to prove how one wrong move can domino out of control. Very moving and a few tear jerking moments. Return to Me - With Minnie Driver, I just loved this movie. Fetishes - lol- wow, an interesting kinkomentary about the professional dungeon Pandoras Box in NYC. I didn't think it was a good depiction of the scene per se but had some interesting scenes and it had a few hot parts. |

Eclectic Netflix
I have a strange (interesting?) mix on my list:
Toy Story3-for my GD WWII in HD- everything about that war and time period fascinates me Masterpiece Mystery- just about any of the BBC dramas interest me Ghosted-a German lesbian movie Night of the Living Dead-the classic George A. Romero, still scary in B&W Nosferatu: The Gothic Industrial Mix (1922 classic) Show Me Love-another foreign lesbian movie Reaper-2007 CW series still cracks me up Among others... |
I am enjoying watching Deadly Dozen right now. Its a nature documentary on various countries most deadliest living creatures.

Hogsfather and The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
Sherlock which is just awesomeness |

Do you know any more about the series? Like if it's still running, or other episodes? A |
Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead
Netflix instant play or get the DVD. this was recommended in the healthy eight thread and WOW!
http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Fa...?trkid=1457044 |
The Botany of Desire, is a PBS special with author Michael Pollan, which explores the relationships of four plants with humans. I gave it five stars.
|
I recommend "The Lottery" a documentary about the charter school system in Harlem causing controversy within it's community & public school officials.
|
Suspense!
This movie was one jumpy moment to the next, the guy is a CREEPER in it!!

i am just going to list some stuff on my Watch Instantly Activity. i can't say i'd recommend that anyone watch what i do. God, i used to watch too much tv. Alas no more. New job. i wouldn't even be online now if i hadn't already worked till i am bleary eyed.
Bones The Eiger Sanction Gangs of New York Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead Sons of Anarchy In Plain Sight American Experience: After the Mayflower The Birdcage Sports Night The Beauty Academy of Kabul Impromptu Scarlet Street A Touch of Larceny Dead Like Me Commander in Chief Eli Stone Brothers and Sisters Herb and Dorothy Zulu Bleak House Fawlty Towers Rocky and Bullwinkle Himalaya: North by Northwest -- a Michael Palin travel thing Sanctuary Exes and Ohs Terminator All in this Tea The Dresden Files Psych Prison Break 24 National Geographic: Inside North Korea Hot in Cleveland Dirty Sexy Money -- Donald Sutherland was so good in this one-season tv show Breakfast with Scott ------------------------------------------- on Hulu -- Burn Notice Season 4 of In Plain Sight |
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is one of a few must see on NetFlix if you are concerned with health, weight and food safety.
A few others I highly recommend along these lines: Ingredients - Food safety and cost doesn't have to be that complicated if communities supported it. The Future of Food - Whats going on really in the food systems. You should be very concerned. |
The Help
This movie is not on Netflix yet but I found a free link here:
http://www.moviefreenow.com/watch-th...line-free-2011 Just close the little ad box that talks about upgrading, click play, then pause for about 10 min to let the stream buffer. I really enjoy this movie. On one hand it made me sad remembering that it wasn't that long ago we segregated. In fact there were remnants of it when I was a child. My mother grew up in Birmingham AL and would tell me stories that made me sick. anyhow, I thought this movie was lighthearted and yet at the same time it reminded us that it wasn't that long ago we had these racial issue. We still have them today. |
Great thread!! Am turning into a Netflix junkie myself :) I have also found many great, free movies on HULU. One by the title of "Ink" is well worth watching. It's a low-budget, well made film about how we choose to be both in life and death.
Some of my Netflix faves: The Tudors - Must see Showtime series about Henry VIII and his reign as king Whale Wars - Original founder of Green Peace has his own organization. It's about there battle against the Japanese whaling industry Weeds - Definitely a good time killer :) Off to read through the thread...lots of folks have made lots of recommendations and I need to get a list going! |

In my current Netflix list are all the seasons of True Blood (Sigh, I finally broke down after hearing everyone I know rave about it.) I started reading the books and enjoyed them, so figured I'd give the series a try. I just got through season one and it was OK (I liked the books much better). On to season two. |
Now that I have finished MI5 up to current there is nothing worth watching.
I've been ruined. :| |
