Latest Netflix Selection?

Watching Woody Allen's "Manhattan" on streaming right now. Can't say I've ever watched one of his films before. Now I know why. But wow, Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton were something in 1979!

Agree on both points. I know I'm supposd to like Woody Allen, but I just don't. I prefer Woody Harrelson, and that's not saying much.

Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton are both still a bit of something, all things considered.

Absolutely. I just don't think I'd ever seen them so young before. Wow!

I lost interest about halfway through the movie and just let it run while I did other things. It wasn't the worst movie but it wasn't that good either. Maybe it's the fact that I know he ran off with his step-daughter that clouds my whole perspective of his relationship with a 17-year-old in the movie. Ugh.

Anybody an Amazon Prime member? They started offering movies streaming for free to prime members. I wonder if they are shaping up to compete w/ Netflix.

I am. Didn't know about that. The down side would be that I can't view on my tv like with Netflix (through the Wii or PS3).

Yeah I use my PS3 for Netflix now as well. I have a Google TV (Logitech Revue) (actually got it for free by applying as a developer, haha) which works really well though for it. Netflix still has a much larger catalog, but when I want to see something I want to watch right away I still rent movies from Amazon VOD sometimes.

I used to just plug my laptop to my TV using HDMI before I got the Google TV thing.

I suppose I could do that...but the PS3 is attached to the internet through ethernet instead of wifi and I'm convinced that has to make a difference in the picture quality. Then again, I guess I could pop the ethernet cable off the PS3 and put it into the laptop...but now we're talking about moving around a lot of cables.

I want streaming on my phone.

Watching "Flannel Pajamas" right now. A lot of nudity but pretty boring. Kind of a crappy script.

Just rented "Love & Other Drugs". My sister-in-law is a pharmaceutical sales rep so that made me chuckle, since that is what I imagine her job being like. it was just OK, I felt like the movie didn't know if it was supposed to be a comedy or a serious flick.

Breaking bad tonight. Machete tomorrow, any reviews on that film?

Machete arrives in our mailbox tomorrow... Other than that, I guess it's mostly a T&A kinda film. Should make the big guy happy.

Been watching The IT Crowd streaming for my morning workouts. Funny stuff, especially if you're frineds with any IT folks.

I've never heard of that, and I work in IT. Is it like The Office for nerds?

I own Machete. Not the best Robert Rodriguez movie but totally watchable entertainment.

Pretty much. British, so there's that. They have the best toys, too.

To specify, this is for those who are paid Amazon Prime members. Students get a free membership (and some other groups--I forget which) but they do not qualify for free movie streaming. Just discovered this...

Pretty good. Lots of blood and some T&A, what else do you need?

The League - Season 1... awesome. But I curse Netflix for not having Season 2 up yet.

 

[legalskier]

Very good vampire movie with a twist, by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves . A mixture of tender and terrible, chilling and touching. Plus an awesome POV shot of a car crash.

 

[BackLoafRiver]

Lost - Season 3.

Only watch it once a week with a former roommate. I'd watch it WAY more if I could. So many questions...and I hear it doesn't get wrapped up nice and neat at the end of the show.
