Just watched 'Us', from Jordan Peele, the guy who brought us 'Get Out'.  Pretty decent horror flick.  Trailer below...

I fully agree. Just finished the latest re-read of the book today and watched Episode 1 right away. Very close to the book in a very good way.  :) Also David Tennant nails Crowley as if the character had been written for him.

Just watched ep 2 of Good Omens and it's another cracker.  I've not got much to do tomorrow so it might be a sofa based binge-watch tomorrow afternoon...

And that's Good Omens finished off.  Ended really well.  Worth a punt if you fancy a comedy / fantasy sort of thing...

Just gave ep 2 of 'The Virtues' a watch.  Dammit, this is a tough watch (brilliant performances) but so compelling.  Think I'm gonna need to stick on something that's a lot lighter to send me off to bed tonight...

You know you can't go wrong with a Shane Meadows / Stuart Graham collaboration. Watching it reminds me why I usually avoid TV series, I hate having to wait a week before the next bit. I suspect a twist in the story coming up. My guess, Graham's character was an abuser rather than victim. - that's not a spoiler, only my guest based on S.Meadows past writing style.

Last part on Wednesday.
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Three new episodes of Black Mirror out today on Netflix!  Was tempted to binge-watch the lot but I'll ration it out to one episode per day... first up is Striking Vipers.  Each episode has an individual trailer, here's the one for this ep...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssr40U3-do0

Hmm, a bit to reminiscent of a certain other fan favourite episode, but well made and well acted and with a certain aspect of it that might some people feel rather uncomfortable... but, hey, that's Black Mirror!   ;D

Oh, and if anyone wants to respond on this or any other episode, lets have a big SPOILER WARNING, eh?

So I just watched episode 2 of the new Black Mirror series, 'Smithereens', trailer below...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SybklT8k1k

Liked it better than the first one even though it's a bit Black Mirror by numbers (Social media is prevalent!  And something goes wrong!) but it's really tense and well acted (Andrew Scott is such a terrific actor) and well worth a punt if you're Netflix-inclined...

Last episode of the new BM series watched, so I'll stop bothering you all about it after this one.   ;D

'Rachel, Jack And Ashley Too'... aka the one with Miley Cyrus in it.  Trailer beneath...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qIlCo9yqpY

Probably my favourite BM episode of this series, simply because it's so unusual... the first BM episode since 'USS Callister' that genuinely had me laughing.  A fun romp indeed but with some rather disturbing undertones.  And, although, I've never been a fan of Ms Cyrus, she gives a great performance here...

Glad you watched it mate!  Yeah, it's an odd one... I think not, they did try and kiss in 'the real world' and it did nothing for either of them... but what the heck, VR isn't that advanced (yet) so who knows?  I will say that it seemed to save their marriage, one day a month when their partner could do something naughty...

That's wehat I love about BM.  It puts those questions in your head...  ;)
