For fucks sake, why when something works well does someone think they have to come up with a "better" way to do it?
Turned on netflix this am and they have decided to totally fuck up the user interface for ps3. Before it was an easy to use menu driven system that, on my widescreen, would show 16 selections across my screen. Now I can see a whopping 3 and 1\2 selections. No menu options you just get what you get. Want to go through the 250 new titles? Have fun scrolling across seeing three at a time. Totally fucked up and inefficient. The only way to find a movie, documentary, or tv show to watch now is to go online, find it, put it in the top three slots of your instant queue, go back to your ps3, and then you will be able to "quickly" find the program that you want to watch. FUCKING WOW! I can usually just go with the flow and adjust without complaining. This is so blatantly fucked up though that I instantly called netflix to complain. The rep I talked to said she was getting tons of complaint calls. Yeah, no shit. She was very nice and I didn't rant just gave her the facts. She said they are testing 5 new gui's in different areas and taking feedback to make a "final" choice. Christ, what was wrong with what they had?  |

Both seasons of Party Down are available again via Watch Instantly. Quirky, absolutely hilarious show...it's really a shame Starz canceled it...

Even worse than canceling it was the decision not to let it go to another network because of the fear it would have success elsewhere and make canceling it look bad. |

I just started watching the second season of "Parks and Recreation" on Netflix Instant. Great stuff.

Glad people are liking Parks & Rec.
Noticed they just added The Verdict. Highly recommended. One of the best courtroom dramas I've seen. Acting students should be forced to watch Paul Newman's performance in it over and over again.

I'll recommend this too. It's about a lot more than just art, if that is not your thing. I will add in a recommendation for Hunger, a 2008 drama about the IRA hunger strike in 1981. It is pretty artsy... but also very well done and frankly difficult to watch at times, due to the brutality that the prisoners endured or put themselves through.

I think the show made a huge jump in quality between the first 2 seasons. The big change was that in the 1st season Leslie was just a female Michael Scott, but in the 2nd season they started to show her as being really competent and the jokes are more about how she just thinks her job is more important than it really is. Plus they started to develop the supporting characters, and they have a ton of really good ones.

Exam.
8 people apply for a job. They all are in the same room for the final test. Once the rules are laid out and the test itself starts, they all flip over the exam to see it's blank. They have 80 minutes to figure out the answer.

I watched Exit Through Gift Shop like others here and I am of the opinion the whole thing is a hoax. It's very interesting, and I haven't met another person who has ever watched it upon my recommendation to talk about my opinion.

Some awesome additions to the Watch Instantly options this week:
Movies Toy Story 3 The Hunt for Red October I'm Gonna Git You Sucka TV Series & Mini-series The Langoliers The Stand Golden Years The Winds of War Jericho Documentaries Ken Burns: Baseball S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine I actually haven't seen either of those two documentaries, but the S21 thing seems interesting in a morbid sort of way, and of course anyone who enjoys documentaries knows that Ken Burns is excellent.

I actually loved Jericho. I think it was ahead of its time, and was sad to see it get canceled. It actually came back after a protest by viewers for a short time and then it got canned again a few shows into the new season. Still think it was a good show however.

Netflix acquires rights to stream 'Mad Men' | Media Maverick - CNET News

It Might Get Loud. Documentary of Jimmy Paige, Edge, and Jack White as they give background stories to where they came from and how they came to be as guitarist. There's some jamming going on as well. I think Jack came across as the odd man, but I think he was the more interesting one as well. It's interesting to see Edge show how he did his own take on chords and when they are playing together Edge shows them and you can see Paige have this, "What the hell?" look on his face.

Oooh instantwatcher is pretty cool.

Not sure it's available on instant, but this mini-series was a really, really gripping to watch...
The Staircase It's a documentary about a real life trial (from about 2003 in NC), so if you're familiar with the story the spoilers may undermine the way the drama unfolds. And the filmmaker may have had a bit of a selective eye. Still really gripping. Mrs Q and I watched the first 2 or 3 segments on a normal schedule, and then force-marched through the last 5-6 hours in one white knuckle all-nighter.

Yep, I'll agree with that. We watched it until the kids were finally sick of it. TOok a break and the youngest went back for round 2 for a bit. We are finally over it now, but its entertaining, and funny. It doesn't take itself that seriously.

I just watched Beer Wars on streaming. As a craft beer lover and one that homebrews occasionally (nowhere near as much as others here do), it was quite enjoyable. I even learned something--didn't know Anheuser-Busch made an organic under the nameplate Green Valley Brewery.
Yeah, I'll stick with my local craft beers. There are a good bunch in this region.  /tk

Also the whole Jack Lord "Hawaii Five O" series and all of the old "Mission Impossible" episodes. Time to relive my youth. Last edited by Sweed : 04-18-2011 at 06:52 PM. |
