i wish the selections under the Starz deal were in HD, but it's a silly complaint considering all those titles are going to be gone soon.

It's a 3 episode (though, each episode is about an hour and a half) TV series from the BBC that sets up Holmes and Watson in modern day London, and everything about it is fucking brilliant in ways that Guy Ritchie could never understand.

I actually just bought the DVD set of that since I enjoyed it so much! Can't believe we have to wait until 2012 to see what happens after that cliffhanger. It's awesome to see the head writer of Doctor Who,Stephen Moffatt bring Sherlock into the 21st century.

Both Paranormal Activity movies are available in case people want to catch up before seeing the 3rd one. I did this last night.

Is this the kind of series that you really need to catch up on?

I'm in the minority group of people who actually like these movies. And yes, the story is connected through all three films.

sean52692 · 11-14-2011, 02:15 AM

The first Paranormal Activity is one of my least favorite movies.

MaLaKaS · 11-14-2011, 12:49 PM

I found it to be a creative concept. Def not the scariest movies ever though as they are marketed to be.

mja271 · 11-14-2011, 01:04 PM

I thought it was decent, not great by any means, but far from offensive.

MaLaKaS · 11-14-2011, 05:36 PM

Every single original Rod Serling "Twilight Zone" episode is available on there

. This is my all-time favorite tv series ever.

FiddySpence · 11-14-2011, 05:40 PM

yeah i've been watching some of those along with the 70's SNL episodes.

FiddySpence · 11-15-2011, 12:12 AM

i've been binging on The First 48 lately. lots of real entertaining black folk on this show.

Mountain Dew · 11-15-2011, 02:00 AM

Netflix is badass. Use it for Breaking Bad mostly. Been watching some Futurama too.

MaLaKaS · 11-15-2011, 09:11 AM

It really is, especially on a mobile phone as well.

mja271 · 11-15-2011, 09:30 AM

I know people weren't happy with the price bumps and maybe they could have been handled better, but the amount of entertainment you get for only $16 a month is pretty massive. If you use the instant and get even just 2 discs a month, it's more than worth it. Think about how much a night at the movies costs or even a DVD set of a tv series. It's great value for the price, even the increased price. That being said, I may drop the physical DVD's simply because I'm not using it enough in the last year. But I watch instant every single day.

AMC's big 3 shows are on there (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead) if you haven't seen any of those yet.

i catch reruns sometimes. it definitely hasn't aged as well as other "modern" classic sitcoms like Seinfeld, Cheers, Newsradio, etc. but it still makes me laugh just because i remember what i used to love about it. i get the hate though, it's easy comedy.

i wouldn't be surprised if it lands on there at some point, a bunch of other NBC shows are.

MaLaKaS · 11-15-2011, 06:07 PM

I'm really excited that The Wonder Years is on there now. I haven't seen that show in many years.
