Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
I just watched Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted. and understand it's poor reviews. If you watch it you understand too.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
So, would it be fair to say it's receiving a 'frosty' reception?

I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show), but everything I've ever seen or read about Seinfeld (the comedian) makes me think he's a colossal dick. I even remember watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee or whatever that show is and thinking "He constantly comes off as an arrogant prick."

Apparently he was also one of the donors to the anri-protest event involving the thugs at ucla who attacked the protestors.

Sounds like it was his wife. And I'm guessing they didn't realize that the counter protestors were going in with bad intentions/developed said bad intentions as the event wore on.

And yet, as a Bruin alum, I'm disgusted. They may not have been paying enough attention to know, and yet it was 100% predictable.hepcat wrote:Sounds like it was his wife.

I'm far more disgusted at the cops for not addressing any of those violent jackholes tho.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
I was curious about Unfrosted and tried about 10 min of it, and yep, that was pretty bad. Sad thing is, I think the topic itself could be great under a different production and direction. But this is a movie that feels desperate. Right at the beginning, there's a scene that sets the tone between Seinfeld and a kid, and Seinfeld pretty much begs the kid to let him tell the story of the poptart. I felt sorry for this kid. And from then on, it constantly feels like the movie wants to laugh at you, not with you. In just the 10 minutes I was able to endure, there was a smugness throughout.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
Good lord, Baby Reindeer is...rough. I went in expecting a true crime doc made into a movie. What I got was a very painful show about power dynamics and how it can lead to abuse (sexual and mental), the aftermath of that abuse, mental illness, and coping with coming out. It is VERY heavy. I thought it was very well made for the most part, and it definitely had me thinking more than a few times (especially that ending). But if you're not looking to be bummed out by a lot of shitty people treating people like shit, avoid it.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
Apparently it's based on a true story, and the woman it's based on wasn't very happy about the depiction. But yeah, it's quite disturbing to watch seeing as how unrelenting the stalker is.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
We just started it last night and will stick with it because it's short -- I've been looking for a good half-hour series, although I'd prefer comedy. The male lead reminds me of young Ethan Hawke and the woman could be played by young Kathy Bates. I'm at the age when everybody young reminds me of somebody old.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
It gets even more disturbing once they start to delve into the male lead's trauma.
All in all, it's very well written and very well acted (the actress playing the stalker is fantastic...just hand her all the awards please). It's just very....heavy.

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
We have the final episode left to watch but yeah... we went expecting a dark comedy (which I still think it largely is) and its gotten very dark. The episode with the sexual violence warning was a tough thing to watch.
On the lighter side...

Re: News about Netflix exclusive films and content
Oh yeah, hard agree there. I mean, what the hell? He was probably damaged goods before that even happened, but the part you refer to is beyond words. Definitely a hard-hitting show on many levels. Also have to agree that the actress is excellent. She pours on the charm and then next minute she's full-on vindictive psychopath.

If you haven't seen Upgrade, it is now included with Netflix. If you like science fiction (or even if you don't), do yourself a favor and watch this. Immensely entertaining.

It's the one where he gets a chip in his brain and watches reaction videos.
