Can confirm that the room is a quality movie.

LOL I may just do this seeing as how cheap they are now. Thanks everyone for the advice.

No. I don't think he's that great in general. He seems (from what's in the films and from when I see him interviewed) very enamored with like comic theory and the idea of what makes something funny. That's what leads to stuff like "my, what knockers" and characters with pun names.

As an example, with "my, what knockers" it's like "oh, I get it, knockers are the things on the door but it also means a woman's breasts" and then you force yourself to laugh. I still suspect that with many of these old comedies that don't really hold up, people are forcing themselves to laugh because they remember them fondly or they feel they're supposed to.

Examples of 30+ year old comedies that I think hold up better than Brooks are Pee Wee's Big Adventure, The Great Muppet Caper, and This is Spinal Tap.

is making a murderer anywhere near as good as THE JINX ?

They are very different documentaries and it's hard to compare the two, but MaM is a must watch if you enjoy true crime.

MaM is a slower burn with many more layers than The Jinx, and while The Jinx is essentially 'solved' MaM is ongoing so there is plenty of post-watch deep-diving to be had if that's your thing. Second season is on its way too.

Watched Sandy Wexler (Adam Sandler). Meh. Had some funny bits but Sandler is extra annoying. Plus I was distracted the whole time as it seemed to be a blatant ripoff of the much superior Broadway Danny Rose by Woody Allen.

It's better imo

Yeah it wasn't that great. Have you seen The Other One documentary about Bob Weir? It was much better imo

"Viral" is crap. Horror is such a generic crap genre. No other genre rinses and repeats more. Even if cheap it amazes me how a movie like this gets made. Not a single thing fresh about it.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but I just wanted to express my disgust with Netflix's new rating system, or whatever you want to call it. The suggestions are just that suggestions, I wish they would go back to their old star system. I relied on that system to judge whether a movie was worthy of watching. Now I have to go to rottentomatoes or IMDB before watching a movie. Furthermore, I wish their was an easy way to navigate all movies on Netflix, instead it feels like every movie I see in the app is suggested because of another movie I watched.

I hate the thumbs up/down too. I only typically rate anything anymore if I really like or hate. If in the middle somewhere it doesn't rate an up or down.

I find Netflix navigation fine but hate Amazon navigation. I rarely even bring up Amazon because I hate the navigation so much and trying to find something I want to watch.

Yeah Ive seen it. It was soooo much better. Hard to imagine that watching 5 hours of doc would shed so little light on the folks in the band. The last "episode" was actually pretty good. The first four were dog**** though.

thumbs up and thumbs down is a terrible rating system, as I'm indifferent to almost everything on Netflix. everything they put out was basically a "liked it" very few "really liked it" but not many "didn't like it." with thumbs up and thumb down, i don't even wanna rate most stuff now. I'm not giving a thumbs up to something that is only ok.

Their browsing has always, always been terrible. I've happened on so many things that I didnt even know were on netflix because there's just no good way to browse their collection.

Extremely close to cancelling.

Making a Murderer is wayyyyy overdrawn. All you need to do is watch the first and last episode.

i've been saying this for years now. the interface blows. there's so many things i don't like about netflix including the browsing, and the autostart crap, nevermind the fact that i think most of their original stuff is grossly overrated*, their original movies all feel like cheap netflix movies, and their selection is somehow really bad for the amount of stuff they have...

but it's $10. which i how i assume most people look at it. i also assume most people browse for 20 minutes then give up

*i still contend that any show delivered in the binge format is gonna be met with pretty good reception. even the bad ones get a lot of good press. any random crap show on network would be regarded as good if it premiered on netflix. everyone is brainwashed by the format. ... at least that's my theory.

Oh and the Jinx is definitely better than Making a Murderer as Robert Durst is infinitely more interesting a subject than Steven Avery.

Agree that everyone is currently brainwashed by the "Golden Age of Television" that we're in (hint: it's over).

I have almost the opposite experience with Netflix as you though. There is so much content on there (both original and not, new and old) that's above my expected quality threshold that I become paralyzed with choice. So I sometimes do browse for 10 minutes and quit, but only because there's too much to choose from (not too little). I think many feel the same

I use it very infrequently though, a relative's account and I probably only average one 42-minute television episode per week most of the time (sometimes nothing for months).

netflix is basically just a ton of content, i only kinda wanna watch. so i often browse a while and then just find sports on tv.

Haha me too.

It's been increasingly this way in the last three years. They're trying to make a lot of original content but a lot of it is crap.

Behzat C

It's a Turkish TV series filmed in Ankara.

Interesting homicide bureau cop show. Good story, characters, acting. Low budget production - which actually makes it fun to watch in itself. For example inside car scenes are shot like the old days - fake car with moving background scenery.

Behzat, lead detective, looks like Serpico, operates like Diry Harry.

There's over 60 episodes which run up to 2 hours each. Obviously a hit in Turkey.

I'm not good at writing reviews, so search for better write-ups. It's definetly worthile TV.

Oh and they like their tea (chai). Drinking/serving/ordering it just about every scene. Their rugs/carpets also are beautiful to see in the interior shots.

I said this 5 years ago and you all blasted me saying I was trolling......

I think netflix is pretty good but lolAustralia.

u guys are harsh.
Netflix is well worth the $ for bojack horseman alone, what a masterpiece.

then you have shows like master of none bloodline and all the great exclusive stand up specials.

not sure what exactly you want from them but it seems like insanely high standards.
