Netflix "Watch Instantly" - Page 847 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

let us not forget Eddie Murphy's glorious run of movies in the 90's when he seemed to dress up in fat suits and play 10 characters in every movie

Beverly Hills Cop III
Vampire in Brooklyn
The Nutty Professor
Metro
Mulan
Dr. Doolittle
Holy Man
Bowfinger
Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

How do you not continue and add Norbit to this list? Hands down the worst movie to ever win an Oscar.

Just getting into Dark with my g/f - really good so far, but definitely watch it with subtitles rather than dubbed American English.

Do as you please with the subtitles, but just don't watch with the American English dubbing.

Another Life has a 4.1 on IMDB...I usually set 7.5 as a minimum for TV shows, which are generally rated higher than movies for some reason.

I usually don't watch anything under 8 for tv shows, I try to stick to 7+ for movies (except for comedies)

4.2 another life is an absolute disaster

Eddie did the Dave Chappelle peace out in his prime before Dave Chappelle. He essentially retired at like what, 30?

I dunno if id call being in a bunch of crappy movies and no one thinking you are funny anymore "peacing out" or "retired".

well...at least one of you does.

Norbit wasn't on the list because it was 2000's, not 90's. i didn't want to wade into the muck of Eddie's 2000 career.

You mean the Oscar award winning 2000's career of Eddie Murphy (ft. Pluto Nash)

The Eddie Murphy episode was really good. Didn't know he and Jerry knew each other in the early 80s. I am surprised Murphy didn't RIP Cosby when he had the chance ed after Cosby was a prick to him when he started.

There should be a lot of great roles for Murphy, comedic or even dramatic, just dont know why he did such bad movies. Probably for his kids and they probably looked better on paper.

He's said he grew up poor and where hes from you don't ever turn down money, so that was his philosophy.

For some reason they kept Pablo's insanely hot wife, Tata's clothes on in Narcos, but she has done a bunch of nude scenes in other films.

Finished dark s2, overall really good show and kept me interested in what’s going to happen next. Also think they did a good job of dealing with the issue of having to use different actors for the same characters from different times. Prob worth a rewatch if u watched s1 when it came out before you dive into s2. Like another poster mentioned I struggled at first to rmbr who was who.

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman

Japanese show about a guy who's obsessed with fine pastries. He gets a sales job in Tokyo just so that he can go to various pastry shops when out on sales assignments. It's a fictional show but the main character is going to actual pastry shops around Tokyo and talking about what makes their pastries so unique and good. It's an interesting show if you're into that type of thing, and if you can tolerate the standard Japanese weirdness/sillyness.
