That is a pretty dumb plan, I mean Worrying about overpopulation being a problem to the human race, then having the solution being an end to the human race. Edit: Well never mind then. FairyNuff fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Feb 12, 2013 |

Wait a minute, wasn't he Gatehouse? Did they give him a script, or just say "recount your acting career to this point"?

I like how what started off us a basic 'outlaws vs. conspiracy' story has turned into an 'every man for himself' clusterfuck

Second really rather good episode, I thought! Feels refreshing to only have a couple of murders...

Loving Utopia. Part of me really hopes that somehow this is a Children of Men prequel, but I don't think the dates match up unless Utopia is set 10 years ago or something .

The whole while I've been getting serious Children Of Men vibes off this show. Or despite the timeline, maybe even V for Vendetta.

I just caught up on Black Mirror and I loved it, although it is relentlessly creepy and the title sequence with that horrible bassy drone is fantastic for setting how strange and bleak it was. This thing with the humming noise;

Train fans, if you missed the Railway, you can watch it on the iPlayer. Pretty enjoyable so far. If you liked the Tube, it'll be right up your street.

It's relentlessly creepy but I still burst out laughing at the 'pornographic films' line.

onoflalks posted:Train fans, if you missed the Railway, you can watch it on the iPlayer. Pretty enjoyable so far. I signed up for the Network Rail apprentice scheme and they emailed me to say this was on, I'd like it if I had more tv recommendations from companies I'd signed up for. I liked Black Mirror, I agree with a previous poster saying there was a 'Tales Of The Unexpected' vibe to it. I felt a little like they could have gone a bit deeper into the online persona vs. how somebody actually is, though you could argue that at the level where one insists on taking photographs of what they're going to eat and watches gigs through the screen on their phone whilst recording it that they're pretty much automatons anyway, HEH. Though up until the halfway point I was also doubting he was actually dead and that the whole thing was some alternative reality game, though that'd have been too much like episodes 2 and 3 last series. Glad to see no tv channels are pandering to Valentine's Day tomorrow, though there is a documentary on channel 4 about the world's most prolific streaker. Alternatively, Demolition Man is on itv4

This was why I watched it first before Black Mirror. All of the characters are great, except Chloe obviously. I hope Tix is ok and the Welsh guy and her ride off into the sunset together

A bit more info on the Alan Partridge movie. Nice to see the old cast and characters back, especially Dave Clifton. I hope they get to recreate the whole bouncy castle/low-speed chase from AP's autobiography. It's a "can-do-go" siduation.

The Railway was pretty good, but goddamn all the management types they showed were completely insufferable.

Yeah those management people were incredible. Without getting too deep into train chat, I was amazed to see how many people were defending high ticket prices? They kept talking about how it costs money to maintain railways but completely disregard the fact that train operating companies make billions of pounds in profit (at the taxpayer's expense) and then shovel it to their shareholders instead of putting it back into the system. Even the guys for East Coast which is under public ownership at the moment seemed to be content to maintain the status quo.

Irisi posted:Was an interesting one though. Wondering what could be assembled from the scraps of your online presence, if it would be true to you or not. (At least Ash was a decent guy in his updates, what would happen if your husbands' online persona was trollish and violent, what would he come back as...) I call bullshit that it wouldn't have known he liked the Beegees, it would have had his last.fm! Honestly that ending is about as happy as you could have expected really. She goes from treating it as a real person to just a Thing you keep in the attic with all the other junk, thats probably more healthy overall than smashing it in rage. Also I'm glad the episode didn't end in a malfunctioning death bot or whatever because those endings are a cop out. It doesent really work if a critique of the concept if you can explain any problems as a result of it just breaking. massive spider fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Feb 13, 2013 |

Ok, strange request, but did anyone have Sky back in the early nineties? Early as in before The Children's Channel was TCC? The thing is with my Dad's sky box you could turn the audio channels over to French, German etc. and somehow one day I found that turning over to a certain audio channel gave English Audio, but the ad breaks were odd. Every advert had the exact same tune, but depending on the advert the tune was a different length (as in made especially for that length of advert) or in a different key. I used to love that song, but I got banned from switching to that audio channel because it done my families head in. In case it jogs anyone's memory (or if people want to get inside the head of someone who had a crazy dream and believes it), here is my approximation of that tune for a very short advert.

I was going to say I had no idea what you meant by Link Anchorman then I found this song video and it all came flooding back http://youtu.be/RVxAFj5pKtQ all his mannerisms. Edit: I thought I could remember Ratkan II, well I remember watching it in the mornings, but any videos of it don't look as familer as I would expect. Except the intro http://youtu.be/F2tD-HgKPec

Watching that in the cinema is going to feel just wrong, I'll wait until the DVD so I can watch it on the sofa as nature intended. As long as the big plate is there somewhere I'll be happy.
