The Netflix Instant Viewing Thread

[morlock with a day pass]

I watched Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious the other night. A lot of jokes are right off his CD, but still worth a watch. I'm a big fan.

"You know who loves being fisted? Sock puppets."

i was sort of shocked at how much like jim gaffigan tosh sounded on one or two punchlines/deliveries.

Let the Canadians be happy. You have to talk to them like Leonardo Leonardo did.

Netflix, NBC Universal content deal brings Battlestar Galactica, SNL and more to Watch Instantly

Just in case a throwaway mention of a streaming-only subscription for US customers wasn't enough, an agreement adding plenty of recognizable content from NBC to its Watch Instantly service might help Netflix distract from a recent string of PR gaffes. Starting next week, cable shows from the media giant's stable like Psych, Battlestar Galactica and others, episodes from the most recent seasons of NBC shows including The Office and 30 Rock will be available. Not good enough? Why not throw in every season of Friday Night Lights and Saturday Night Live, with new eps of SNL added the day after they air for the next three years. Seems like a win/win to us, with many hours of new content for Netflix while NBC cashes a fat check for old seasons of Monk and Law & Order:SVU -- as much as we love Tony Shalhoub as a neurotic private investigator, those DVD boxed sets just weren't moving like they used to. The only question left is whether HD streaming for any of these is on deck, until we hear back just check out the full press release after the break.

BSG!

I watched the Korean film Mother on Saturday. It was by the same director as The Host, Joon-ho Bong. It was incredible; easily as good as Oldboy if not better. It was as if Bong was channeling the Coens. Catch it as soon as you can, I give it my highest recommendation.

Y'know, much like The Host or Barton Fink or Old Boy or The Big Lebowski, the problems I have with it on the first viewing will probably cease to really mean much with multiple viewing. I watched The Host again this month, and while I still had minor problems with it, they didn't really matter with my overall enjoyment of the movie.

Eureka is mentioned in the full press release. NICE!

I've watched a ton of good stuff. Benny's Video, The Seventh Continent, Audition, and The Host.

[Supreme Convoy]

Just watched Louis CK: Chewed Up and now moving on to The Warriors. Never seen the latter before.

Every single episode of SNL is pretty incredible.

Every single episode of SNL is pretty incredible.

Nah, there were long stretches in the 80s and 90s where it was pretty bland.

Ohhh, I get it.
