Watching The Shining again. I think the Kubrick films on Netflix are edited in some new way but I can't put my finger on it. At the risk of sounding crazy, I think 2001 has entire portions of footage that I haven't even seen before. One thing I noticed is that his films are much more compact on Netflix and "easy to watch." I really don't mind it too much I guess.

All 7 seasons of Trailer Park Boys and the two movies are on instant. Check them out, funny shit.

Freakonomics

Several documentary directors each film a segment representing one chapter of Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner's best-seller Freakonomics, which explains different elements of popular culture through economic theory and statistics. Issues include everything from cheating sumo wrestlers to whether Roe v. Wade produced a drop in crime. Filmmakers include Morgan Spurlock, Alex Gibney, Seth Gordon, Eugene Jarecki, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing.

Worth the watch, though the book / audio series is probably a better bet if your really interested in the material.
None-the-less the movie is helpful to visual learners/understanders like me.

They've got almost every episode of No Reservations on Netflix :D

Also:

The greatest show of all time.

Even if you don't like food shows you should check out the Beirut episode of No Reservations. It's super sombering as he was there when the conflict broke out.

No Reservations is also a great show to watch when stoned, FYI.

 

[ektamine]

Personally I find I am not masochistic enough to watch food shows while stoned. I would probably eat myself to death tbh

 

[Max Power]

Oh yeah, I totally munch out afterward.

 

[AmorRoark]

Oh wow, I totally just figured out who MP is:

 

[ektamine]

Holy shit thats disgusting what was that originally?

 

[Max Power]

That's just not right.

It's a sea slug, apparently delicious. I'm more a Zimmern man than a Bourdain man, myself.
