    I'm on the free trial for Netflix. I think that once I've seen all of the 'Comedians in Cars Having Coffee' I will cancel. I'm halfway through the second season of Jessica Jones and it's not amazing.

    Love Comedians in Cars Having Coffee. I've not seen Jessica Jones yet. If you're into marvel the first season of daredevil and the punisher are excellent. season 2 of daredevil was good but I felt it lost some of the rawness of the first season. Peaky Blinders and Master of None are also very good. They have tons of great stand up if you like that kind of thing too.

    I haven't seen Stranger things or Orange is the New Black but I'm sure you have heard of them too.


    They just put up a bunch of gangster movies, scarface, casino, goodfellas

    They have good stuff, some really good stuff, so putting out a bunch of crap just for putting it outs sake just seemed like a bad idea to me. They were working towards being the streaming version of HBO with their original content, now I don't what what they're doing.

    It's worth the money still for sure, for now, I just hope it doesn't get too hard to sift through all the crap to find the good stuff.

    Yep, have watched all the Narcos and like that series. Daredevil has been the best of the Marvel-NF Series by far, IMO. Jessica Jones Season one was good, Luke Cage had moments, Defenders... ehhhh, and Iron Fist was bad. There are some great Standup Specials of course. Patton Oswald and Louis CK come to mind (his issues not withstanding) and I'm sure I'll check out the new Chapelle Specials.

    I forgot about Narcos and yeah I was hesitant to recommend house of cards because you have to get past the whole Kevin Rapey thing, I can't, But if you can seasons 1 and 2 are excellent. Season 3 is good but it started to lose me at that point. I got 5 or 6 into season 4 and stopped watching for some reason, then all the Kevin Rapey stuff came out and I was like yeah I don't really care to finish it. Im also pretty sure Ive seen the best of the series anyway though.

    I already unsubscribed from Netflix. Good service, user interface needs some improvements (even CrunchyRoll beats it for me) and I need my sleep.

    If I really want to see a film, DVD or cinema it is. That way I am going to see what I pay for.

    I faded on House of Cards. It started to feel a little outlandish to me after a while. I liked the Kate Mara scenes though.

    I still get discs from Netflix.

    Streaming still has it's perks for the TV shows, but that's about it.

    I think a House of Cards spinoff with Remy Danton could be good but I think Mahershala Ali is going to be a bit busy for the foreseeable future.

    I don't make it into theaters very often. Maybe once or twice a year. In my area it just seems like they're trying to cut corners everywhere and there are always technical imperfections that take away from the experience.

    The Netflix UI needs work but compared to Amazon Prime it's soooo much better. Amazon Prime is painful to use.

    He is...another reason he may be a bit busy for a while. Hoping thats going to be good too, but that first season was magic, That is a very high bar to live up to.

    I saw rampage today. I give it.. 6/10 it's alright as a fun popcorn movie but the monster fights aren't as good as pacific rim 2. that was the superior popcorn film for action.

    Might want to check that link. I don't think he is old enough to be in El Topo - a 1970's western.

    I didn't say that he was an actor in El Topo. This actually is his favourite movie and he said in one interview that he's fond of everything Alejandro Jodorovsky related. That's... quite interesting.

    All good. Lots of crazy things were said about MM over the years so initially we thought that he might have had a small role in this movie!
