thanks halocog i just finished season 1 in 2 days. They use gote rape in one of the interrogation scenes.

Gote Rape as a torture device... I could see that.

I've gotta say that if any of you have kids - you absoloutely HAVE to have Netflix.
My kids have been sick all weekend up to today and we've had a ball watching movies. We never stay in and watch movies as I'm an outdoors person so I drag them out all the time - but it was really cool just spending a few days watching flicks. We even watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang today which was great. Brought back childhood memories and it's strange watching your kids feel all the things you felt at that age.

Netflix is pretty awesome, even better if you do what a mate of mine did (I haven't attempted this) and changed the DNS settings so he could access the US site, 1000% better apparently.

Netflix for films, Spotify for music ;-)

apparently changing your DNS settings is easy but I know if I did it, somehow the house would burn down.

Karma can come and kick you in the ass!!

That's cool that you got the US site working. But I thought Spotify worked in the UK? If I remember correctly, I was using a VPN to listen to it a long time ago.

Also, Doc Martin. There's like 40 episodes on there. I started watching it last night. Good stuff.

Spotify in the UK is excellent.

Yup. £10 a month to save all the music in the world on your device. Beats paying the same amount for one album that you listen to every year or so. An awesome way to discover music too :-)

Haven't seen that one but I did see the one a few years back think it was called "swear to God" So good I've watched it multiple times. It appears Alcoholocaust is not available either streaming or DVD for us on this side of the Atlantic. I can't figure out why Netflix would divide the content like this. Combine the servers and allow all to see everything....... Makes no sense.....

[halocog]

No doubt it's the stupid ass studios putting stupid ass restrictions on everything. They do it a lot with YouTube as well. "Sorry, this content is not available in your country." I put a song on there once and it was banned in Germany, but nowhere else.

Just noticed that "get the Gringo" is streaming. I watched it on DVD and liked it a lot.......

zeitgeist: Moving Forward

I found it somewhat ironic with all the Jesus bashing from the first Zeitgeist movie that the solutions he brought into this documentary were very Jesus sounding.

House of Cards Original series on Netflix. It's awesome and worth your time...... Kevin Spacey is Fantastic!

For those curious about US netflix in the UK, all I can say is my wallet has been suffering from PTSD ever since I made the switch. The US catalogue is monstrous, and oddly has a lot of BBC titles that we don't have? It's very simple to do (especially on a console), and you can do it free using certain DNS settings. I found that they only work for a few weeks, and I now pay about £3 a month to unblockus. I'd at least recommend the free trial, just so you can have a browse more than anything. I have a feeling you won't look back!

As for what to watch:
Armadillo and Restrepo are tightly made documentaries following infantry in Afghanistan. The former focusses on Danish soldiers, and has a little more action whereas the latter is American and focusses more on the feelings of war.

Degenerate Art looks at glass pipe blowing in America, which sounds pretty dull, but I was amazed at some of the stuff those guys can make.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was a nice surprise for me. It's a perfect example of how to do horror comedies, and I've yet to find someone that doesn't enjoy it.

If anyone's a fan of South Park I'd highly recommend '6 days to air' that takes a look at the production process.

'Archer' is a great series, though comedy is obviously subjective.
