there are a lot of people who will benefit from seeing this. i hope they all watch it, and learn something. the way that anthony handles expressing himself and his feelings is something i'm still learning how to overcome in my thirties and something i watched my brother go through, too. an affect like this isn't a sign that there's nothing there; it's a sign that there's so fucking much there that it'll choke you if you feel it.
An uneven, overstuffed yet still entertaining B-movie. This is a hilarious cross between a sloppy revenge thriller, a corny Hallmark Christmas film and a nasty splatter. One of the main problems of this film is that it suffers from trying to shove way too much. Overstuffed with sub-plots and flashback within flashback, interfering with the main plot. It reminds me of this film in terms of how overstuffed it is, though this is more competently made and generally more entertaining. There's too much going on in such a short runtime with a gory, shlocky splatter that comes in a little too late that I'm sure most people after watching the first 70mins will begin to worry. Thankfully, the third act ramps the fuck up and ultimately makes it a worthwhile watch.
One of the weirdest documentary series that can be found. The irony of John Wilson manifests itself in episodes with strange themes such as scaffolding or ways of covering furniture. The mastery of the project is in how it manages to make each episode drift towards unusual paths, which cast doubt on the lucidity of the human being. It is an unusual look at life, a discovery of the most remote places of our existence.
I'm a 40 year old white male marvel fan and, based on the first ep so far, I loved this. The animation is awesome to look at. The story is interesting and emotional. This is another banger put out by marvel. Bare in mind, this is directed for kids, but if you're a cartoon fan, it's very well done and incredibly watchable. My only criticism here is that it didn't need to be an hour long. I'm hoping the rest of the season is cut down to half hour episodes. It's a bit extra at that length.
My Ratings
10 - I love it, regardless of quality
9 - Very good, might not love but very well done or might love, forgiving some issues
8 - Very enjoyable or Just OK for me but well done
7 - Good
6 - Watchable despite not liking the film/show
5 - Mid
3-4 - Not great, but got through it
1-2 - Very bad/You might be a communist if you like this garbage
Very very pretty, and not much else. A succession of sentimental monologues and messages without much build up, but it's a children's story. Can't fault it too much for telling kids they are loved and to be kind and such, however blunt or clumsy.
I bloody love this show. Surprisingly rude (in a good way) for US TV, the characters are brilliantly invented and played by the cast. I'm very glad I've came across this underrated gem. Fans of The Office (either UK/US), don't miss this one!
Sad this ended so early. Loved it.
Controversial live task, indeed!
The spoons task! Poor Kiell.
Go into the house!
If I knew where the house was, yeah, great.
And the father and son team!
No! Don't go in the kitchen Ivo! What did I tell you not to do, you greedy bastard!?
Imagine being a writer for a moment, one people love and praise, but being trapped in a box that the people who love your work create. Imagine in the beginning you thriving in that box, people loving you more and more, but eventually you've explored everything in the box. Now suddenly people drag you down, "why is he telling stories outside the box?" This is why season 6 took 4 years, because none of these episodes were bad, but because 3 of the 5 weren't inside the box all this hate gets written. Time to move on people, something is indeed better than nothing, and the more you complain about the theme, the closer you get to black mirror straight out ending and red mirror taking it's place, because all good writers eventually learn how to silence the haters and write with their heart, not with a gun to their head.
I absolutely get the criticism that this episode (like most episodes of season 6) don't really fit into the previous Black Mirror narrative.
And yet, I loved this one and hope to see Anjana Vasan bashing more people to death in future movies.
If you’re thrown off by this episode and the obvious fact that it doesn’t align with the Black Mirror mentality, Google “Red Mirror” and read what Charlie Brooker has to say.
This was a solid episode with great performances. You’re allowed to appreciate the story regardless of the box it’s apparently supposed to fit in.
BLACK MIRROR JUST GOT ESOTERIC!!
I would argue over half of this latest season explores the supernatural from demons to folklore and (black) magic, which the show has never explored before from my memory (this binge has made me want to rewatch a lot of the episodes though). In fact, the first and second seasons are almost the antithesis of this sort of thing where it would centre around politics or would only blame humans for things like greed, envy or lust barely realising at the time that these are labelled as deadly sins in the Bible for a reason. I'm willing to bet that Charlie Brooker has had a mindset shift about the world since 2011 - as have I and so many others.
This final episode certainly rids any subtlety that may have been had with exploring demonic possession but this honestly makes it the most hilarious Black Mirror has ever been - I laughed countless times at Paapa Essiedu's perfect performance.
It's already proven (from reviews I've read in the last two days) that much of the audience are reminiscing over the days where the show would only talk about technology but I personally loved the direction it's gone in for undoubtedly its best season since s3. Joan is Awful and especially Mazey Day were mid but both still had a super likeable element to them. The other three episodes, including this one, were fucking killer!
Charlie Brooker said "let's try live action South Park for 2023" and I'm all here for it.
Bravo.
There is no other show that makes me laugh as hard as this one
If you're looking at this deciding if you're going to check out Taskmaster, just do it! It's become one of my favorite shows to watch each week!
Altogether a much better series than either 4 or 5. 1) Loch Henry - 10
2) Demon 79 - 10
3) Joan is awful - 8
4) Mazey day - 7
5) Beyond the sea - 6
If this doesn't tickle your funny bone, you should immediately go and have it looked at. It might be broken.
2hrs of watching a dude draw, and an older dude read intently in order to remember stuff WE SAW IN THE FIRST TWO FUCKING MOVIES!!
Different from the first in all the right ways while expanding its own identity. The villain becomes secondary to a larger plot in a natural way.
This sequel takes even more liberties with the art style and uses each dimension’s art to set them apart beyond just structure. Gwen’s universe in particular uses constantly shifting colors and focuses to show character emotions visibly, which I appreciated more the second viewing. The story, this time, still features Miles but isn’t only about him. At first, I was upset, but the film came to balance all the threads. I kept fluctuating between hating and loving other characters (Gwen). Also, this film isn’t afraid of silence and pauses, which was refreshing in this ‘constantly stimulated’ day and age.
Incredibly rare for the first and second to be this highly rated by me. The first is more emotional, second brings more conflict and group dynamics.
There's no way they could top the first.
...but then they did
Futurama theorem:
Is it just me or was this episode insanely well-shot and animated even for this show?
Budget 100%
This is hands down one of the best pieces of animation I've ever seen in my entire life. (And Bugs looks so fabulous in it!)
Sam was good entertainment, but such a punchably smug face.
I'd be interested to see how someone with actual people watching and body language skills would do in this. Step one - don't stare at the person speaking, but watch how others are reacting. Amateur hour.
1million dollar face.
Good job sherif.
Blake and Camille have got to be stupidest people I can think of, there is no way Sam was ever going to share. They could have easily voted him out instead of Sarah.
This show just shows how easy it is to manipulate people with talk of charity and friendship
Sarah and Liam They were the worst possible in the series
Sarah might be the single worst contestant I have ever seen on a reality strategy show. Thankfully Camille stopped up from the worst possible ending with an all-timer TV moment
Caaaaaaaaaan’t wait for this one!
A chilling, morbid watch - but it must be said - Steve Coogan absolutely nails Saville. Writhingly uncomfortable-to-watch performance
