Re: Netflix junkie
I am currently watching Terminator Genisys on Netflix.
There is no timeline where Kyle Reese should look anything like Jai Courtney. WTF.

Just finished it. It was weird seeing Hawkeye in a movie without a bow and arrow. (Jeremy Renner)
Maybe it's just on Canadian Netflix?

Re: Netflix junkie
I saw Arrival in the theater. Really interesting. I never get tired of Amy Adams.
I don’t see it in U.S. Netflix either. Amazon prime has it for rent, $3.

I feel like communicating with Heptapods is probably easier than communicating with my very traditional Chinese parents.

Re: Netflix junkie
Ha! I’ve got Chinese in-laws. They aren’t always traditional, but they are occasionally as alien to me as heptapods, and I to them.
I wonder what the heptapod portfolio would look like.
ADDED: the movie was based on a short story by an American with Taiwanese parents.

Re: Netflix junkie
My male Heptapod (dad) has a portfolio that's a mish-mash of dividend paying Canadian companies, Chinese speculations, and cash. I think his biggest holding is Riocan, which is Canada's biggest REIT.dualstow wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 7:45 pmHa! I’ve got Chinese in-laws.

My mom has cash and GICs (Canadian version of CDs).
Oh wow! I didn't realize that about Arrival. I always thought it was an original screenplay.
For me, nothing beats the first two Terminator films as all-time favourites. Time-travelling Arnold as a cyborg, sent back to kill the mother of his enemy before he's born. Yes.

Re: Netflix junkie
I usually hate time travel, but I was about 13 when Terminator came out. Blew my mind.
(Dr Evil voice) Blew my frickin’ mind.
Re: Netflix junkie
The T-800 was the perfect role for Arnold. Not just because of the physique and all the obvious stuff. It's because the Terminator's relentlessness is actually a perfect reflection of Arnold's personality in real life. The man gets shit done. He just. doesn't. stop.

Re: Netflix junkie
I just finished watching United 93 on Netflix. There is an Arnold connection. Did anyone else see the movie where he was a common person whose wife and daughter were coming home on an airplane. Until it crashed and they died?Smith1776 wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 10:36 pmThe T-800 was the perfect role for Arnold. Not just because of the physique and all the obvious stuff.

I will not say anymore about what is in the movie.

Re: Netflix junkie
Somehow as a MAJOR Arnold fan that one has escaped my knowledge until now. I think the first one I saw was Twins.

Re: Netflix junkie
Man, that brings back memories. True story here.
When I was a teenager I did a lot of Wing Chun training. Our family friend who owned a vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver was a Wing Chun master. I trained under him, and he in turn had been taught by Ip Man's son.
When I was 16 I went on a trip with family to Hong Kong. Through our mutual connection I met Ip Man's son and visited his martial arts studio that he had in the city.
The history, the connection with Bruce Lee, the aura around the whole thing. One of my favourite experiences as a kid. Totally amazing.
I got to see the technique and the mastery that he and some of his students had. There was a such a grace where they were able to effortlessly redirect and use their opponents' energies against them. Crazy stuff to behold.

Re: Netflix junkie
Two series I've binge-watched lately are Fauda and Zero, Zero, Zero (actually, I think the latter might have been on Amazon).
Both are foreign language so you have to turn on subtitles. I could never get into that but my wife keeps the subtitles turn on even when it's in English so I've gotten used to it.

Re: Netflix junkie
As a reader I ALWAYS want subtitles for ALL movies. They actually put a lot of the screen of what is said that you'd never actually hear (even while wearing headphones). I'm now severely disappointed whenever a movie does NOT provide subtitles.pp4me wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 11:57 am Two series I've binge-watched lately are Fauda and Zero, Zero, Zero (actually, I think the latter might have been on Amazon).

I am about to give a shot at The Man in the High Castle. I've heard that it's good, though very dark.

Re: Netflix junkie
Finally started watching Peaky Blinders, and now I'm hooked. Just finished season 3. Love the soundtrack and the slow-mo badass shots. Also really like the creative anachronistic concept of using a modern rock soundtrack in a series that takes place in the 1920s.dualstow wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 7:24 pmHe wiped his eyes!

When my favorite actor Tom Hardy appeared in season 2 as the boss of the Jewish gang, I knew I'd made the right choice watching this series.

Re: Netflix junkie
Watched Operation Red Sea last night.
Tremendous, impressive movie!
I've seen tons and tons and tons of movies in my life. This one is one of the BEST EVER that I have seen.
It'd fit into the War / Military genre. Struck me the same way Black Hawk Down struck me the first time I saw that movie.
