Netflix recommendations

Started watching Orphan Black. Have watched three episodes. Damn. It knows how to do the end-of-episode thing that leaves you wanting more. It's 3am and I'm really knackered and really angry because I want to keep watching

Dead good.

I'm really enjoying it and trying to ration it.

It's an amazing performance by the lead. I keep forgetting she's not 4 completely different actors. (Oh and Sarah's step mum is one of the commitments)

So what would you use to access US Netflix

MediaHint. I got mine from here

It's a non-updating version so it's free. The current version of MediaHint is subscription only. Never update this!

This one is Firefox only but if you search around there's a Chrome one, too. I think Vintage Paw linked to it earlier on this thread, or one of the other Netflix threads.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Here is the link to get it working in Chrome.

Another link here, may be a slightly newer version of Mediahint, not sure, haven't tried that one. Be sure to make note of what you need to do in the first link regardless.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Hang on, these are the exact instructions I used. I've just reinstalled mediahint in canary using these instructions.

Just scared the cat off my lap by screaming "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?" at Netflix. Damn, Orphan Black is gooooooooooood.

Can someone tell me whether I should use hola or not, please. What's the worst thing that coud possibly happen

I meant to read that link properly but I think there are two worst case scenarios

1) hola is peer to peer. This means that when you use it you are going through someone else who is also using hola and other people are using your internet connection. If someone else using your internet does something illegal it'll look like you did it.

2) imo more worrying, someone else can install and run programs on your computer.

I watched a fascinating documentary today - The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden - about a bunch of Germans who went to an uninhabited island in the Galapagos and the trouble that ensued. I have never heard of this before and it was really interesting stuff!

Works fine for me

I've been using Proxy for Netflix which has worked perfectly for me. Only US netflix, but that's where Bob's Burgers is, which is basically all I've been watching for that last two weeks.

(on topic: Bob's burgers is fantastically funny, kinda the same vein as American Dad and Family Guy, but I think much better)

What We Do In The Shadows is an entertaining watch. New Zealand spoof vampire documentary with Jermaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords.

I loved that! Very funny

I just watched "Twinsters". A great documentary about two Korean girls who were adopted - one in the USA and one in France. One put a video on YouTube. The other's friends saw it and thought they looked identical....

I can't get enough of loner, walkabout movies at the moment. Watched Into the Wild yesterday. Sean Penn has the skillz. Mostly cried my bleeding eyes out.

I uninstalled hola as per that scary article. I'm now using tunnel bear which is €3.99 a month. Cheaper and more secure.

I enjoyed that....even though I thought the guy was an inept fool.

Only in the last bit no?

He kinda fluked his way along through the whole film.

True.

Has anyone seen Saving Mr Banks? not usually keen on Emma T or Hanks really.

 

[crossthebreeze]

I've been watching, and thoroughly enjoying, How to Get Away With Murder all day.

I rather liked it. It's a tad sentimental, but not unintelligent.

I watched Kung Fury last night. I kind of enjoyed it, but... Just not as much fun as season two of Danger 5.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Meanwhile, I also watched 2Pac's final film, Gang Related. It was barely in the top three buddy-cop movies James Belushi has ever made, and is an inferior tramp-wrongly-accused-of-murder movie to, say, Suspect. However, it does have Mac's dad from Philly basically being Mac's dad in Generic American City.

I intuit that DotCommunist may have an opinion on this film

 

[8den]

It was barely in the top three buddy-cop movies James Belushi has ever made,

It ranks alongside Red Heat, & K-9?

 

[DaveCinzano]

It ranks alongside Red Heat, & K-9?

It ranks beneath them, yes (I couldn't think of any other cop-buddy movies Belushi had been in)

Cop buddy?

And much of the cinematic output of Tarkovsky pales against Red Heat.

 

[Maharani]

Loved the Nina Simone film. She did lead a very troubled life but man what a woman.

 

[DaveCinzano]

And much of the cinematic output of Tarkovsky pales against Red Heat.

Don't get me wrong, I love Red Heat, and K-9 is up there with Turner & Hooch in the police pooch stakes (unlike K-911 and K-9: PI).

I saw that there were direct to video K-9 sequels on Jimmys IMDb page, I think they said everything they needed to say with K-9 personally.

Doomsdays

"A pre-apocalyptic comedy, DOOMSDAYS follows the misadventures of Dirty Fred (Justin Rice) and Bruho (Leo Fitzpatrick), a pair of free-wheeling squatters with a taste for unoccupied vacation homes in the Catskills. Their commitment to the lifestyle is challenged, however, when a runaway teen and an aimless young woman join their ranks."

I loved it. Really funny.
