Black Mirror does this thing where each episode is really good until, like, the last ten minutes, and it's mostly pretentious and a little lame. But there are a few episodes I still liked, like the dead husband robot clone or the one where the guy has an off-brand Howard Beale breakdown on TV.

sherlock gave us "i am SHER locked" so for that alone i am going to put it above black mirror because oh my god that was probably the stupidest thing i ever saw flipping the channel over to PBS

There's a couple of really stand out Black Mirror episodes specifically the Star Trek Parody and the San Junipero or whatever its called. Overall I like it as a series but it can have some real bad ones.

Shut Up and Dance is one of my favorites because just when you think "this poo poo is dark" it goes "oh you haven't seen anything yet"

The pilot to Black Mirror is a man loving a pig on live TV with all the dour seriousness of Requiem for a Dream. Respect. It has a better hit rate than most anthology shows.

IMO Black Mirror has some really high highs and some hilarious lows, and for an anthology series that's what I'm looking for and expect.

I respect Black Mirror because even in the shittiest episodes, there's a nugget of an incredibly clever idea. No other show would bother to commit to a high concept the way it does.

It was wild for me when Get Out came out and I was really pumped to see Bing from Black Mirror in a big movie.

Not every anthology show can be the original Twilight Zone, the original Outer Limits, or Tales from the Crypt

Man like I understand if Black Mirror ain't your thing but how can you say it's as bad as Sherlock. Sherlock was so god drat awful.

We watched Hatching tonight. Really liked it! I appreciate when a movie will lean into the "metaphor vs. monster" ambiguity and then go no, mother and daughter are gonna hunt this loving birdcreature down with butcher knives. Luckily we finished eating dinner pretty early into the runtime because there's some gnarly goo amongst the cool creature effects.

The skit in the haunted house is scary. I think the guide was lying about the loving fuckers blowing giant loads.

MacheteZombie posted:Freeway is loving fantastic That's on my to watch list probably next...been just going through a lot of poo poo on Tubi and that's on there too. Night of the Comet, Intruder (almost wish it had more laughs), Horror in the High Desert 2 (wasn't really high on the first one like a lot of people but I liked this one better, almost the feeling of simulating a Discovery true crime show and hey that's less heinous than watching them), Skyman, Road Games, Judgment Night (wouldve been so much higher on this if the murderous antagonist were anyone but dennis leary tbh)...

I'm sure you can catch TCM on TCM! Only just saw the original in the past year and I was pleasantly surprised by how slapstick it ended up being.

Punkin Spunkin posted:It's not too like, 90s Tarantino derivative is it? Heard people describe it as an "edgy" film. I always dig a solid Kiefer role though, he's so fun in Phone Booth and Dark City. i didn't really think of Tarantino at all when i watched it? the edginess just rings more as very funny black comedy. also, as good as Kiefer is in it as the villain (and he is great), Reese is just on a whole other level, raising absolute hell the whole time.

I think my sister bought in on VHS when we were teens, the cover referenced Natural Born Killers (because Oliver Stone was a producer). It does have that same kind of exaggerated reality, just without the hallucinatory effects. Didn't immediately click for me until I realized they were doing Little Red Riding Hood, On Crack! But it is a lot of fun once you realize it's just an outrageous movie. Not just Witherspoon and Sutherland, but also a young Brittany Murphy and Brooke Shields!

Bokeem Woodbine is great in it. Speaking of which, I just rewatched Caught Up with Bokeem Woodbine and Jeffrey Combs, it’s got some pretty fun Jamaican/voodoo stuff going on in it.

I hadn't heard of it, so I looked the trailer up and it has to be one of the most spoiler filled trailers I have ever seen in my life. Who made that? Goddamn.
