Started this show called "The End of the Fucking World" and am enjoying it. It reminds me a bit of the Fargo TV show because of its dark humor.

Speaking of the Frago tv show I finally started to watch it. I'm watching it on Hulu but if any other pals in different countries can see Fargo on Netflix you need to check it out. Billy Bob Thornton rules

Kill the Messenger

"Based on the true story of journalist Gary Webb. The film takes place in the mid-1990s, when Webb uncovered the CIA's past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the U.S. that was aggressively sold in ghettos across the country to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras' rebel army."

The movie itself ain't gonna change your life but it's an interesting story.

That third episode was complete fucking bullshit. It was bland, uninspiring, pure sci fi with nothing to take from it. The characters are shallow and it's all shock value. The second wasn't too good either, but it does feel like a proper episode, and I really appreciate the shorter length. USS Callister was really neat, though.
Ha fair enough criticisms, but I really enjoyed the 3rd episode actually.
A lot of that may be due to how great Iceland looked in it, though.

Callister and Hang the DJ were probably my two favorites of the season.
The finale got mixed reviews, and it might have gone on too long, but I liked it by the end. Super dark.

It's still super cold and windy here, so I think I'm just gonna stay inside and watch the Tim Burton Batman movies today.
Maybe Bright too, if I'm feeling especially masochistic.

Started this one last night and was laughing my ass off. Both of the main characters are great.

Just started watching Stranger Things season 2 (had to binge watch Game of Thrones first) and I don't know... I'm not really into it.  It's ok, entertaining... but i feel like they bought into their own hype and are just going for cute 80's reference jokes.  It's not bad but not as good as season 1.

Watching a doc called "The Real Football Factories" about football hooligans and the cool clothes they wear, etc... entertaining for a yank like me and our boring shitty sports fans.

New Chappelle specials were both great. 

Put The Secret Life of Pets on for my kid, hoping it would keep him distracted... ended up elbowing him out of the way, grabbing my dog and watching it with a tear in my eye.  Great movie.

I thought that Star trek themed Black mirror episode was really lame. How was I supposed to feel anything for a bunch of characters in a virtual reality world?

I saw it a while back, but just rewatched "I Am Not a Serial Killer" last night and still loved it. The main kid actor does such a great job in my opinion. Fun fact is he was the kid in Where the Wild Things Are.

i JUST finished watching the whole thing and came in here to discuss it. Anyone know when season 2 gets released? Quite the cliffhanger.
Rest in peace Dick Dale.

Although maybe everything that needed to be seen has been shown. If it ended here it would make sense.

you think there will be a second season? in my mind it made sense to end the whole story at the end of the last episode.

We're up to ep 5 and I think this season kind of sucks. Callister was good but inconsequential. Arkangel abandoned a much much more interesting plot halfway through the episode and instead did something shitty and boring. Crocodile had the goofiest SNL non-ending and again abandoned a much more interesting plot. The dating one I don't remember the name of was fine, the lead actress was really good so it was enjoyable. Metalhead, the last one I watched, was hilarious and my favorite of the season so far.

USS Callister would have been more interesting if it didn't feel like a longer drawn out version of the one in White Christmas with the girl who made toast for Jon Hamm. I think it didn't help that I kept thinking it was the same girl from that one too, seriously look at them.





Haven't watched the last one but this season has not felt as good, particularly Arkangel

When she started mutilating herself because of the filter I was really interested in the episode. I thought they were going to go with how it was fucking her up, then they ditched it and went with regular shit.

Winter has me being lazy, but re-watching a bunch of good movies at least.

Today I watched Jackie Brown (which is so entertaining, I never even realized it's like 2 1/2 hours long til now), Full Metal Jacket, Hot Fuzz, and The Prestige.

I kind of want to watch that The Mist mini-series, even though it's gotten pretty much only bad reviews, just cause I love the short story, and want to see how much they fucked it up.

You should watch "The Green mile" if you haven't already. It's another one of the better Stephen King adaptations.

I have seen the Green Mile, tis good in a differnet way..

I dunno man, I dont watch actual TV ever, jusy netlfix and youtube when im chillin at home tbh plus i have a tendancy to avoid movies that everyone rates super highly because i find i go in expecting too much and end up dissapointed.. the opposite happened with Shawshank.. theres probably a world of great movies that i have denied myself haha

Just started watching Peaky Blinders. Going to binge it over the long weekend. Feels like a UK version of Boardwalk Empire.
