Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted June 13, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sounds very similar to The Joe Schmo Show from the early 2000s. Which is actually coming back with Cat Deeley hosting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I saw it when it first came out so forgive me if I got something wrong but I remember a part where the lady said her favourite film was Apocalypto and for reasons I don't remember it was a really funny ironic answer. I remember thinking I just didn't believe that would be her favourite film and I thought I was being worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, this could me being worked brother shoot brother brother, but there is NO way she was an actress. She was way too much of a nutter, and that answer makes perfect sense. She was genuinely unsettling and came out with some fucked up shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2023 The weird numbers obsessed guy they found for it was genuinely terrifying. Such a weird, creepy dude. The Christian lady was also creepy but also it was hilarious how weird, stupid and awful a person she was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think the very fact we still don't know what's real or not shows that he's an absolute master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Thought this might interest a few of you. The New York Times has developed their own version of the wall, and its quite fun. https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections The comments under the original tweet prove again that Only Connect viewers are insufferable dweebs, and yes I include myself in that. They're telling Victoria Coren Mitchell to sue the Times? Plebs. I originally posted this in the Only Connect thread which I didn't realise was in On Topic.

It still had everything I love about the show and all the characters stepped up their acting game (Stephen Root was really great) but for me it would have had a great ending at series 3. The whole Sally thing just felt a bit too weird and unreal. Whatever the Barry code is it starts at 3. That fucking chase. See, I could not disagree more. I was really unsure about Season 4 at first, because it really did feel like Season 3 was the right ending. But holy shit, Season 4 is spectacular, and it's what moved it into being a genuine work of art for me. The way it concentrated on ideas of good, evil, redemption and forgiveness, while becoming more and more unsettling and dark - then pivoting to laugh-out-loud funny and then to something else altogether was remarkable. I've never seen a series stick the landing as well as this one did. And it's partly in what it didn't do. Phenomenal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Very disappointed with the new episodes of Black Mirror. It’s continued the decline that started last season, with a real tonal shift in some episodes that verge on Marvel-like as far as the dialogue goes. The use of Salma Hayek in the first episode felt like stooge casting, almost Simpsons-like, or Extras-like if I’m being more generous. There was the a good idea in that episode, but the tone would have had to be very different to work for me. It gets so meta at times that it might as well be a CM Punk promo.

TildeGuy~! Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I enjoyed the 1st and 2nd episodes of the new season of Black Mirror but it all went down hill from there, episode 3 dragged on for far to long, episode 4 was one of the worst I’ve ever seen and episode 5 just wasn’t good at all.

DavidB6937 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I've been watching it again from the beginning which I haven't for a while. Forgot how much I loved some of the earlier stuff. Makes it even more obvious where the decline in quality hits.. or at least the change towards what it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I watched the first episode and tapped out right after, they deliberately opened with a "lol tech bad" episode as that's probably what a lot like but I hate that shit especially when it's so horribly quirky.

See, I did think that as well, especially after the main plot point was basically Spoiler The same as the South Park Human CentiPad episode "You should've read the Ts and Cs!!!" But it was actually quite funny and also Annie Murphy Spoiler Dressed as a cheerleader with a willy on her forehead and taking a massive dump in the church. Still would lads. Second episode was quite fun and done well I thought, the third dragged a bit and it was quite obvious what was going to happen fairly early on, although it still managed to slightly surprise me. I can take or leave Black Mirror but it's an OK late night watch that really doesn't matter too much. Brooker is best when he's being funny. Streamberry makes me cringe every time though.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted June 16, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2023 Made.a start on The Full Monty, based entirely on my mate has a recurring role in it. It's actually surprisingly engaging, me and the wife are enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
