Watching Common People and immediately after they mentioned about coverage I got the circle and 0% buffering, and after the advertising in school I got an advert. I am on Netflix Basic so this is pretty funny if intentional

I think Balatro was seen almost as a playing solitaire in the background and ignoring the call and might be a nod from the creator Charlie Brooker who also used to be a video game journalist.

Two more down and two more thoughts!

Hotel Reverie I find pretty interesting I see some saying there wasn’t much chemistry but she had just got dumped in there, had a cookie popped on her and asked to do the whole film no cuts real time and improv if needed. Bound to be jarring.

A sapphic love story based in black and white 1940s film is a pretty interesting concept as a film and I think that they did dance around it a bit too much and then things going wrong with the computer and suddenly for some reason it’s on fast forward? A bit of a plot hole.

I think the general idea is great but the execution was a bit rough


Plaything pretty much had Charlie Brooker written all over it both with PC Zone (where he was a journalist) and Computer Exchange (which he founded and is now CEX) being in there is pretty good.

The idea of a bunch of little digital creatures with AI essentially wanting more power and processing power and taking over civilisation is pretty neat and I think it was short enough and pace good enough that it was alright. It did however turn me off James Nelson-Joyce being the next Bond which I have heard rumours about - I don’t see it.
and the game is worth a play as it seems to go along the process of looking after little dudes who then with exponential growth make it hard to look after them and added to that a bunch of objectives, and then your decisions guiding the game and how they react to you.
