I'm generally ambivalent on Black Mirror but San Junipero is a classic episode of TV.

It's funny that the first episode is about the prime minister loving a pig and then it turned out that Cameron hosed a pig at Eton

I have seen the first three episodes of the latest season of black mirror and 'what if the most forgettable episodes of rick and morty were half as clever and 2-3 times longer' is still the conceit i see

Extremely satisfying finale for The Pit. Great season of TV. Can't wait till it's back.

mcmagic posted:Extremely satisfying finale for The Pit. Great season of TV. Can't wait till it's back. It ended well, and the ending reveal with Dr Abbott was perfect. For a show that felt really preachy at times, it was great that they jusy casually showed that he's an amputee without anyone at any point making a big deal.out of it or him talking about it. I really enjoyed the entire season. I would say "despite" the things that don't feel at all like the actual experience of an emergency department, but honestly I appreciate that the changes served to show people the issues that healthcare workers deal with. I hope in a second season that they are more inclusive of the consultants and services that keep an emergency department running, and kinder to the ones they do show.

I usually binge through a new season of Black Mirror, but after the first episode I felt like "naah, I'm good for now".

I'm taking my time going through this season, currently on ep 3. I've been hearing nothing but great things about the last half of the season so power through it!

The Game is on Prime. It's about a theater kid's dream job. David Fincher's first few are some of my favorite movies; the way things are lit and colored (daytime is blue, nighttime is orange), and how grimy everything always is, made them feel realer than real. If I felt like looking for pictures of examples, I'd look for a streetlight barely illuminating a guy in profile standing in front of a tall windowless building, streaked with illegible graffiti, probably looking down a little. He makes California look post apocalyptic, while everyone else makes it sunny and contrasts any dirt with a quick shot of the beautiful beaches. Fincher doesn't care that the beaches exist. Somewhere in between Zodiac and Benjamin Button, I think he took psychedelics for the first time or something, and maybe with the exception of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, his movies got cleaner and brighter. I feel like Se7en and Fight Club rubbed off on The Matrix a little, and rubbed off on Christopher Nolan movies in general a lot. Big Trouble in Little China is also on Prime. Son of a bitch must pay.

Yellowjackets is the most egregious "we only had ideas for a single season but it was such a hit we scrambled to pad it out and now don't have any idea what the gently caress we're doing" prestige show in recent memory. Kind of obvious from the fact that they quickly retcon out the one lady's entire political career and family in a couple sentences in the first episode of this season but it somehow got worse from there lol

I know I'm late to this discussion I just marathoned all the ghost busters Why do they keep remaking ghostbusters 2? Same goes for all the remakes of Jurassic Park 2? Stop blowing it up and relying on nostalgia it's cheap. It's predictable. It puts butts in seats. It sells tickets. It ends franchises. Or at least should...

In retrospect it’s remarkable that Twin Peaks S3 was allowed to be 17 episodes and that’s it. Although I’m not sure how much Showtime was even involved apart from airing it.

Shageletic posted:Wait are they saying she was never a politician? No. They have a line that indicates that she lost her job offscreen because the show didn't want to manage that plot anymore. This season of Yellowjackets has been pretty good, but there's some material in the first episode where they're audibly wrenching the show away from earlier plots that were no longer working for it.

Black Mirror new season proper watch order is 5, 6, 3, 4, 1, 2 This frontloads the best performance of the season, alternates the sad episodes with the wackier ones, and ends your viewing experience on something that won't make you quite want to die

Nah. The correct order is 1 2 3 4 5 6 since I don't have to get up from the couch.

A MIRACLE posted:The residence has a stacked cast so give it a shot if you think you might like it. My wife really enjoyed it. i really hate the style of writing where person 1 says something offbeat, person 2 repeats the exact thing person 1 says except this time as a question, then person 1 repeats themselves again. it's like echoes of seinfeld or something, i'm not going to say it feels lazy but it happens like 20 times per episode in this show and it kinda drives me nuts.

It wasnt until now that I just realized that despite being one of the best actors in the sequel trilogy Oscar Isaacs has the three worst lines: they fly now, Palpatine returns, and the your mother joke from TLJ

Lynch threatened to walk and almost did until Showtime caved. You can't get Brett Ratner to step into this one.
