Thats in my queue. Gonna watch Ong Bak 3 first, then a Donnie Yen flick called The Return of Chen Zhen, Special (2006) with Michael Rapaport actin' crazy and then 13 Assasins.

Oh that reminds me! I watched this a few weeks ago:

I liked it.

Redstar · 08-25-2011, 04:30 PM

It's perfect because I don't have HD cable in my room, but I have Netflix!

Mythbusters
Pawn Stars
American Pickers
Top Gear UK
etc.

Also watched a bunch of psychological thrillers.

Deviance · 08-25-2011, 05:05 PM

for comedy watch Bill Burr Let it Go. Shit is really funny

anton1o · 08-25-2011, 06:07 PM

I just recently got my Logitech Revue/GoogleTV and should be getting my Netflix this weekend, although unlike you guys i have to do router configurations to actually be able to watch it

Damn netflix/hulu for not accepting international viewers!

SLiDe_WaYz · 08-25-2011, 06:50 PM

AncientAliens it pretty legit. It will blow your mind.

Flexin · 08-25-2011, 07:41 PM

Pretty much everyone of Takashi Miike’s movies are incredible...That guy has impacted so many writers and directors all over the world its amazing.

***S14DB*** · 08-29-2011, 11:50 PM

Thanks for the Suggestions. Some of this stuff I didn't realize had gone to streaming.
I liked IP Man, never cared for Ong Bak.

I like Kitchen Nightmares UK. So much better than how they edited the us version. Now I know why 50% of restaurants fail.

simmode1 · 08-30-2011, 09:34 AM

I liked the Ong Bak series because sometimes movie makers act like the only ppl that are good at martial arts are Chinese and Japanese ppl. Ong Bak's Thai perspective & surprisingly high production value was a refreshing change up to me.

The genre gets monotonous sometimes. Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, I'm looking at you... Totally underwhelming effort from Donnie Yen. SMH.

Agreed. Loved 13 Assassins. Its kinda like a realistic and more serious version of Shogun Assassin.

On another note, I finished watching the first season of Louie. Very good show if you like dark, self-loathing humor. Louie CK is the man.

woodchuck · 08-30-2011, 05:30 PM

anybody loose quality in their HD steams?
i've been noticing that all the action flicks i streamed went to SD when scenes were moving to fast.

nevertheless · 08-30-2011, 09:50 PM

hobo with a shotgun - great movie lol

kandyflip445 · 08-30-2011, 10:01 PM

Recently,

Ip Man 1&2
Voyager
Top Shot
Battlestar Galactica (newer one)

But since school started not much at all.

anton1o · 09-01-2011, 05:28 PM

Watched IPMan and really enjoyed it, will watch IPMan 2 and 13 Assasians over the weekend most likely.

Also been watching Pawn Stars which is an awesome show also.

***S14DB*** · 09-01-2011, 05:50 PM

Remember it's Sept. so you need to check your plan 2days before the billing date if you want to dump discs.

lucky7 · 09-01-2011, 06:49 PM

-weeds is a good show.
-dexter is no longer streaming, but was the shit.
-i like a show called luther - british detective stuff. i liked it.
-all the gordon ramsay shit. i'm a big fan.
-the documentaries about china are awesome. there was one called wild china i believe, 6 part series, but well worth a look if you like history stuff.

word sux · 09-01-2011, 07:46 PM

just finished hobo with a shotgun

hillarious

TheWolf · 09-01-2011, 09:14 PM

And stars just said.. charge customers premium tiers or we're taking our "premium content" and going home...

kandyflip445 · 09-02-2011, 09:30 PM

Booooo for Stars. They think their shit doesn't stink apparently.

meteorite_flo · 09-02-2011, 11:11 PM

The Man From Nowhere
Old Boy
I Saw the Devil
Lady Vengence
Mother

The ones I just listed are Korean movies, but they're pretty good.

WanganRunner · 09-03-2011, 06:35 AM

I just signed up for this and have been re-watching twin peaks. Watches like a modern HBO drama, very ahead of it's time IMO.

Yer, i just changed to Unlimited Streaming No DVD...

As i think it would look a bit suspicious asking for a DVD to be sent to Australia haha!

axiomatik · 09-06-2011, 10:49 AM

Recently watched:

Ip Man
Killers - decent assassin comedy
Wild Target - another pretty good assassin comedy, but British

The Lady Vengence that netflix uploaded sucks. The subtitles dont fit on the screen.

I started watching the documentary "Seoul Train". Its about what refugees have to go through to sneak out of North Korea. Pretty crazy shit.

Netflix Apology Email

Quote:

I messed up. I owe you an explanation.

It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the separation of DVD and streaming and the price changes. That was certainly not our intent, and I offer my sincere apology. Let me explain what we are doing.

For the past five years, my greatest fear at Netflix has been that we wouldn't make the leap from success in DVDs to success in streaming. Most companies that are great at something – like AOL dialup or Borders bookstores – do not become great at new things people want (streaming for us). So we moved quickly into streaming, but I should have personally given you a full explanation of why we are splitting the services and thereby increasing prices. It wouldn’t have changed the price increase, but it would have been the right thing to do.

So here is what we are doing and why.

Many members love our DVD service, as I do, because nearly every movie ever made is published on DVD. DVD is a great option for those who want the huge and comprehensive selection of movies.

I also love our streaming service because it is integrated into my TV, and I can watch anytime I want. The benefits of our streaming service are really quite different from the benefits of DVD by mail. We need to focus on rapid improvement as streaming technology and the market evolves, without maintaining compatibility with our DVD by mail service.

So we realized that streaming and DVD by mail are really becoming two different businesses, with very different cost structures, that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently.

It’s hard to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to “Qwikster”. We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name “Netflix” for streaming.

Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, but now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated.

There are no pricing changes (we’re done with that!). If you subscribe to both services you will have two entries on your credit card statement, one for Qwikster and one for Netflix. The total will be the same as your current charges. We will let you know in a few weeks when the Qwikster.com website is up and ready.

For me the Netflix red envelope has always been a source of joy. The new envelope is still that lovely red, but now it will have a Qwikster logo. I know that logo will grow on me over time, but still, it is hard. I imagine it will be similar for many of you.

I want to acknowledge and thank you for sticking with us, and to apologize again to those members, both current and former, who felt we treated them thoughtlessly.

Both the Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust. We know it will not be overnight. Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.

Respectfully yours,

-Reed Hastings, Co-Founder and CEO, Netflix

simmode1 · 09-19-2011, 02:20 PM

^^^Oh. Soooo basically, we're sorry of shitting on all of you but we're still not really changing anything. HOWEVER, we'll let you start renting video games soon!*

*(probably with another additional fee...)

Fuck off, Netflix. This just made me even madder actually. Really looking into Hulu Plus to accompany my Vudu HD.
