TV/Movies Megathread

[Sheilbh]

I saw an episode of Black Mirror. Very disturbing. Dunno if I'll watch any more.

Which one?

That's why, say, Conspiracy spooks the hell out of me while Fatherland doesn't.

Also Fatherland was dreadful

20 Feet From Stardom

[celedhring]

I cheated a little bit with the examples there, I'll admit 

But Conspiracy would be a damn boring movie if it wasn't relating real events.

[Eddie Teach]

Which one?

The first one, I think. About the pig-fucking PM.

One of my favourites

[celedhring]

The PM one has an amazing setup, but squanders the premise imho.

That happens to most Black Mirror eps I have watched, though.

[Sheilbh]

Agreed. I think White Bear and Fifteen Million Merits are the best on that front.

The pig-fucking one is hilarious though and still by some distance the funniest (and, possibly, sadly, the truest)

[celedhring]

I'd probably have liked Fifteen Million Merits more if I didn't HATEHATEHATE all those talent shows 

Favorite one is The Entire Story of You, but I haven't watched the Christmas Special yet.

[Sheilbh]

See I watched it with the guilt that knowing I watch those shows

Edit: Also a brilliant performance by Daniel Kaluuya who's one of my favourite young actors right now. He was immensely charming in the Fades.

I was watching "Fifteen" and thinking; hey, that's an interesting world they are describing, I can believe us ending in some place like that in the future, the lead is great, great chemistry with the lass... hey, wait, why the hell are they going to Britain's Got Talent now????!?!?!?!

Is 'The Book Thief' worth, persevering with as it's making me lose the will to live*.






* yes and no doubt some Languishite would thus recommend I see it through to the end. 

[Admiral Yi]

It doesn't get any better.  Just more of the same.

[Razgovory]

Intensified hatred of Arabs and Muslims and people we mistake for Arabs and Muslims, like Sikhs.

Yeah, Spike Lee was just making that part up?

That sounds awful.  Whoever is doing that should stop this instant. 

I'll compile a list and send it to you, and you can complain to them.  You are going to need to clear some of your hard drive though.  Actually Maybe you should just buy a new one.  This will be a big file.

Thanks, I'll cut my losses. 

[garbon]

Finally saw Reservoir Dogs.
