Netflix - What gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS) (Vol. 2)
Discussion
Baby Driver
I'll be honest I've seen this a few times but being on Netflix gave me a chance to try something out. If you've never seen it I highly recommend it, young guy is a get away driver but has tinitus so listens to music through headphones all the time to drown the sound out. Edgar Wright wrote and directed it, very clever with it's use of music throughout (the scenes are timed to the music Baby is listening to.)
Reason I watched it on Netflix this time was I downloaded it and watched it on the way to work with earphones in, in the film when Baby takes out one of his earphones to talk to someone the music he's listening to only carries on playing in YOUR earphone corresponding to the one he still has in. So when he takes the left one out the music only plays in your right earphone. Wouldn't notice it as much on a home set up but it's obviously very noticeable with earphones and is a wonderful little bit of detail.

That's pretty cool actually. 
Reminds me of seeing Tron: Legacy at the cinema in 3D. As I recall, the parts in the "real world" aren't in 3D (or if they are it is very very toned down) to emphasise the artificial construct of being inside the computer.
Same as how in the original Matrix the parts where they are inside The Matrix has a slightly green tint to the colour balance.

Anyone watched the Waco documentary yet?
No, but I saw another one recently. While I know this isn't helpful to you, the true crime documentary market has become saturated.
Every terrestrial, satellite and streaming channel releasing at least one film/documentary about the the same thing. It's like having permanent deja vu: did we see that? I think so, but that's new. Oh it must have been on Sky, or.. , or...

Watched it the other night. Madness!Bit of trivia for you all - I only discovered a couple of years ago that a little girl who died in the fire (along with her mother) is the half sister a good friend of mine (same father).

Very interesting docu. Obviously some sinister goings on within the cult by Koresh, and as admitted by one of the girls / women that got out... But the handling of the situation by the FBI etc was appalling..
I watched it and not sure there was ever going to be a favourable outcome. You cannot legislate for stupid. Those 28 kids were murdered by their own parents and that paedo scumbag Koresh as far as I'm concerned. Utter scum, the lot of 'em. Just finished "My Name" a Korean drama. Enjoyed it - some excellent action scenes, cops, crime bosses and a decent story line.
That led me on to "The Glory", another Korean drama that I'm half way through. Girl who was severely bullied at school plots and exacts her revenge on the perpetrators a dozen years later. Recommend this one too.

Seth Rogan does American Graffiti.
Starring Jesse Eisenberg.
No sorry Adam Samberg.
Ach sorry I meant Micaheal Cera
It's been on the list for so long but never quite got round to watching it.
Stone cold classic. It's been a while since I've watched a film that had me genuinely lol'ing as much as this. Great fun.
Better watched with a teenage daughter
9/10
