Well I'll never know now will I. I didn't really know anything about it before hand, I just saw Black Mirror and immediately stuck it on. It wasn't until after that I found out how it was supposed to work. My mate watched it properly and said he just got bored with the multiple endings. It sounds like a really good idea that could end up being used for really bad money making purposes in the future. But it just wasn't that good a story in the end.

That's the brilliance of it, the intelligence behind the writing. That's the common theme right through the Black Mirror series. Nothing else like it on TV.

Nothing else like it on TV. i agree about the writing in BM generally. i think bandersnatch's storyline was comparatively quite weak, probably the poorest of all the black mirrors - partially a result of the format, which is ironically also the best thing about it.

Yeah I totally get that, one of the risks of not wanting to know anything about the BM episodes before watching I guess. I would have watched it again as intended if it had been a more interesting story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The Favourite. Superb performances from Coleman, Weisz & Stone (as well as Nicholas Hoult) in a pretty mad film. It's third act doesn't quite match the first two but I found it really enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Stan & Ollie, great watch. Loved how it focused on their relationship more than just showing their shows. Great work from Coogan especially, it deserves the good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4220 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Saw Into the Spider-Verse this weekend with Mrs A. Both of us had a great time, its a standalone film (not MCU, no massive other universe to understand) its brilliant, great mix of funny, heartfelt and has some brilliant action sequences too. I've also never seen anything that looks quite like it, its gorgeous and manages to carry a really cool comic book aesthetic throughout the whole thing.

zerosum 234 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 A bit stuck again for what to watch next since Ray Donovan just finished, started with Vikings last night (mate used to rave on about it), seems promising, as long as it doesn’t go too mysterious/magical.. Any of the newer stuff on Nfx anyone can recommend? I tried Pine gap, switched it off after 20 mins.. murder mountain, watched one, haven’t been fussed on watching again. Any recommends appreciated!

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Glass, great performance from McAvoy and interesting concept putting the two films together, the film itself didn't overly impress me to be fair. Not many edge of the seat moments. It felt like an opportunity missed with the potential available. Can You Ever Forgive Me? Well if it went any slower it would stop but it's actually quite funny in parts and I did walk away feeling in a good mood, so that's something. The end credits made me laugh aswell.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I’m having a serial killer week ( and yes @renton only leavers are serial killers), as I’ve had a few days off. Some cheesy one, Bone collector, copycat and Zodiac and Kalifornia. See they are busy re-making the absent stranger? with Zac effron as Bundy.
