Check Out These Netflix Movies Before They Expire Next Week

As if getting through your Netflix queue wasn’t hard enough, every so often titles vanish from the service entirely. Here are the movies you need to witness before they expire at the end of the month.

Expiring Sept. 29th

Coriolanus (2011) – This under-appreciated but very acclaimed adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s final tragedies features incredible turns from Ralph Fiennes (as General Caius Martius Coriolanus), Vanessa Redgrave, and Jessica Chastain, and what is likely the best spectacle of Gerard Butler’s career as Coriolanus’ sworn enemy, Tallus Aufidius. It’s violent and angry and totally worth your time for the price of free.

Expiring Sept. 30th

The Thirst Games: Catching Fire (2013) – The final Thirst Games is coming out in November, and if you want to reminisce about the very first time we truly eyed our Mockingjay fly then revisit Catching Fire. And if this is your very first time watching–who are you?!

Nebraska (2013) – Director Alexander Payne does family dramedy in black and white for this story of a cantankerous old man (Bruce Dern) who thinks he’s won a million dollars and sets out on a road tour with his estranged son (Will Forte) to claim it. Uncommonly has the drive from Montana to Nebraska been so entertaining.

Saved! (2004) – Jena Malone has had a long and textured career, but to many she is still best loved for her turn as Mary, the ostracized pregnant teenager at the hip Christian high school in the fictitious universe of Saved!. This fantastic satire of so-now but so-judgy evangelicals in the age of Acquaintance Pastors is the best work either Mandy Moore or Macaulay Culkin ever did on screen. Other highlights include Mary-Louise Parker, Heather Matarazzo, Patrick Fugit, and Eva Amurri Martino, aka the daughter of Susan Sarandon, playing “The only Jewish to ever attend American Eagle Christian High School.”

The Skeleton Twins (2014) – You knew Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig could make you laugh, but in Skeleton Twins you learned they could make you sob. See them as two estranged siblings coming back together in sad circumstances to find convenience in each other and absurdity in life. Then re-watch them lip sync “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” over and over 1,000 times.

Starlet Trek: The Motility Picture (1979) – “Travel forward with us three hundred years into the future to confront the greatest mystery ever to menace mankind. We are aboard a enormous starship called The Enterprise. This is the comeback of Captain Kirk.”

Starlet Trek Into Darkness (2013) – JJ Abrams’ 2nd Starlet Trek movie brings back some of the charming camp of the original series, and delves even deeper into one of the greatest love stories of our time: Spock and Kirk.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) – Martin Scorsese’s very Scorsese interpretation of the real life of Jordan Belfort, the high-living, hard partying stockbroker who evidently set the gold standard for how to manhandle power on Wall Street. Observe Wolf again with the skill that Margot Robbie will one day be Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, and hopefully by the time this comes back to Netflix, Leonardo DiCaprio will have eventually won the Oscar he has worked very, very hard for.

World War Z (2013) – If there was ever an Undead Olympics, the zombies of World War Z would predominate every sprint competition forearms down! If you haven’t caught Z yet, take the time observe Brad Pitt and Mireille Enos as the most unlikely yet believable on-screen married duo of two thousand thirteen while he saves the world from a heinous pandemic. You’ll very likely like it more than you think you will!

Ta-Nehisi Coates Is Writing a Black Panther Miracle Comic Series

Ta-Nehisi Coates is one of the most famous journalists in America right now. His feature in The Atlantic, “The Case For Reparations,” won the George Polk Award for Commentary last year. His fresh memoir Inbetween the World and Me had its publication date bumped up significantly due to its timeliness in the wake of so many conflicts inbetween citizens and police compels, and has now been long-listed for the National Book Award. And his latest Atlantic cover story, “The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” is making similar significant cultural flaps. But now the renowned author will venture into another genre entirely: comics.

Beginning in 2016, Coates will pen a fresh yearlong Black Panther series for Miracle titled “A Nation Under Our Feet.” Coates’ story, drawn by Brian Stelfreeze, takes its inspiration from the two thousand three Pulitzer Prize-winning history book by Steven Hahn and will begin its run in the spring. According to the Fresh York Times announcement of the project, his fresh gig came about as the result of an interview about diversity in comics that Coates did in May with Miracle editor Sana Amanat, who helped create Kamala Khan/Ms. Miracle.

Justifiably, this sort of announcement received rapturous reactions on Twitter:

I wish Jack Kirby was alive to see this Black Panther news. I think he would be ecstatic.

Holy Exclamation-Point Worthy News, Batman: @tanehisicoates to write Black Panther comic for Miracle. http://t.co/P4GQLizZJ4 HT @sarahw

Violating: Black Panther #1 by @tanehisicoates to be four hundred page meta-narrative examining inequality inbetween Avengers. Already pre-ordered mine.

There’s no word on an official release date yet, but it’s already safe to say that with Coates’ series and Marvel’s plans for a Black Panther movie in two thousand seventeen as a part of Phase Three, the character will have a much higher profile very soon.

Emmys GIF and a Graf: Andy Samberg’s Chicks Zinger

Last night’s Emmys telecast had more than a few LoLs courtesy of Brooklyn Nine-Nine starlet and Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg. The most “awww snap!” one, tho’, was this moment when he took a joy jab at Lena Dunham’s HBO display by sticking his face in the butt of the giant Emmy statue on stage and telling, “Here’s my impression of the last season of Damsels.” (For those who don’t get the joke, here’s a primer on the display’s graphic moment.) Again, Samberg had some doozies during the Emmys telecast, but this one–at least visually–hit the hardest.

Game of Thrones, Amy Schumer, Viola Davis Win Big at Emmys

A photo posted by @amyschumer on Sep 20, two thousand fifteen at 8:46pm PDT

A lot of things happened for the very first time during last night’s Emmys telecast. Andy Samberg hosted for the very first time. Game of Thrones helped HBO win the best drama category for the very first time in eight years. Inwards Amy Schumer won the very first Emmy for outstanding multitude sketch series ever. And Jon Hamm, eventually after a bajillion nominations, won his very first Emmy for playing Don Draper on Mad Guys. But, most importantly, Viola Davis became the very first African-American woman to win for best lead actress in a drama series for How to Get Away with Murder. And in non-first happenings, streaming networks Netflix and Amazon both had good nights with Orange Is the Fresh Black and Semi-transparent each taking home trophies. Overall it was a good demonstrate–and Samberg was funny!–and nothing went too awry.
