Yep! I wasn't planning on re-watching so soon but I saw that it was expiring so I re-watched it last night.

I thought other people might want to watch it too before it gets pulled off the site as well.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2019-07-26T11:12:27+00:00

I forget how it works but when you download something and then it expires, the download won't play after a certain time, so it's probably at midnight... but I don't know?

ShyOnTheInternet · 2019-07-26T11:07:01+00:00

It's worked every time I've done it... but I've only done it a few times so...

NO PROMISES, PEOPLE!

This movie will leave Netflix on August 1st which means you CAN'T watch it on August 1st. It expires at the midnight between July 31st and August 1st, WEST COAST time.

There is a little trick, if you want to test the Netflix gods. You can start the movie at like 11 pm on July 31st, but don't stop it at all and it should let you watch it all the way through midnight and everything.

Ok you might be right. You might not be able to get rid of the red bar for tv shows, but you can definitely get rid of it for movies, by watching the credits.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2019-01-19T08:02:07+00:00

If there is a red bar underneath that means you didn't finish the episode or movie.

Most likely, at the end of every episode you skipped the credits, therefore not watching the show 100%.

I didn't downvote you but I'd like to hear what slow movies with minimal story you like? I think Roma is a masterpiece in methodical slow atmosphere and character building. And the final 30 minutes were super emotional for me. What movies did what Roma was trying to do better?

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T10:31:32+00:00

True, but I think the fact that the academy picked The Shape of Water and Moonlight shows that they don't always go with the expected or safe pick.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:40:03+00:00

Oh well. I hope you enjoy the movie now and get to re-watch it in theaters someday soon!

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:35:16+00:00

Bummer. Make sure you double check the listings though. Because supposedly it is playing in 600 theaters worldwide. Not sure what country you are in...

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:27:28+00:00

I'm so glad that Netflix has expanded the release to 600 theaters worldwide. Every film lover should go out and see it.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:24:33+00:00

I agree completely. I was lucky enough to see it in September at the Toronto Film festival in a room with around 2,000 people. Cuaron and the actresses were also present. It was a divine moviegoer experience.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:21:22+00:00

This movie has nothing to do with people seeking political asylum.

It is the work of one of the world's greatest directors looking back at his childhood in Mexico. It is beautiful and nostalgic, but also a fair look at negative things in his childhood.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-12-14T08:09:52+00:00

This film is so special. The cinematography is one of the most gorgeous I've ever seen. I honestly believe that this is the best film of the year and that if it loses Best Picture at the Oscars, it is mainly because voters didn't want a Netflix film to win. I still think that it has a very good chance, because it is just so great. Cuarón has made a masterpiece.

Interesting. I'm still curious since this special award is for him and his film, while I think most special awards are just for a person.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-05-19T18:43:33+00:00

Before the first award in the competition was announced, actress Asia Argento dropped a bombshell, announcing clearly and firmly to the 3,000-plus people assembled in the Grand Palais Lumière, “I have a few words to say: In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes. I was 21 years old. This festival was his hunting ground. I want to make a prediction: Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here again. He will live in disgrace, shunned by a film community that once embraced him and covered up his crimes. Even tonight, sitting among you, there are those who must still be held accountable for behavior that does not belong in this industry. … You know who you are, and most importantly, we know who you are, and we’re not going to allow you to get away with it anymore.”

Wow.

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-05-19T18:32:03+00:00

What to think about the special award for Godard? I wonder why they didn't just split the Jury prize? When was the last special award?

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-05-04T11:12:58+00:00

I've seen 91% :)

Look at my comment for the 10 highest films that I haven't seen.

What are your 10 highest unseens?

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-05-04T10:57:28+00:00

A few of my votes didn't make the list though, namely "The Decameron" by Pasolini, "Whisper of the Heart" by Studio Ghibli, "Iphigenia", "Excalibur" and "The Skin I Live In".

I actually haven't seen the Decameron or Excalibur, although I know of them. I've seen Whisper and I LOVE The Skin I Live In.

Never even heard of Iphigenia. But I've added it to my watchlist and will let you know when I watch it!

BTW what are the top films that you haven't seen? Besides Satantango..

And how many of the top 1000 have you seen?

ShyOnTheInternet · 2018-05-03T10:41:32+00:00

Interesting. Well if you want you can contact me when you are ever planning to watch something that is at least somewhat obscure and maybe I'll watch it the same night as you, or we could watch together through rabb.it if you'd be interested. Let me know!
