Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
It's fantastic. Eric Cantona is bloody ace, in fact it's a great cast and a great story. Loving it, last 2 episodes tonight (and fucking hallelujah it's only 6 episodes! Am I the only one who thinks pretty much nothing can keep being good over 4/5/6 plus seasons and that sometimes less really is more?)

I thought it was a fucking mess, really disappointing. Left almost no impression on me other than I'd wasted two hours on it. Thinking back on it now only two things stand out: how predictable it was and how fucking annoying and intrusive the music was, rendering a lot of the dialogue secondary. Awful.

Is Creep the one were a chap goes to stay with some guy at his cabin in the woods and it gets increasingly mental? There's a wolf mask involved at some point. And it ends with a very odd scene by a lake, shot from a distance?

Same. Childish storyline and the fighting scenes with the actors not being any younger was confusing at first and then just irritating.
Love those two films. Video diary/character study makes sense as found footage. It took me ages to get over the cringe factor and watch the first film in full, but it was worth it.

We started it last weekend, completely lost interest after 40 mins - ta for the heads up, we won’t be wasting 2 1/2 hours on it then

Netflix are pushing Undercover season 2 pretty hard as a "coming soon" item and I keep expecting to see it up. I checked yesterday and it's not being released until fucking September.We started it last weekend, completely lost interest after 40 mins - ta for the heads up, we won’t be wasting 2 1/2 hours on it then

It's a fucking shame because the whole point about the black experience in Vietnam - and after - needs to be made, but it just seemed so ham fisted.
Funnily enough Spy I thought the actors staying at their relative ages was a nice touch ... to start with and then yes, it just got annoying

Otis's girlfriend and daughter must've stopped aging 30 years ago too and the way they found the gold was a piss take. The whole thing was a fucking mess that I watched completely because I thought it would get better. It doesn't. It gets worse and worse.Funnily enough Spy I thought the actors staying at their relative ages was a nice touch ... to start with and then yes, it just got annoying

So many particulars. So many questions.
Late to it but I Am Mother was a very good watch last night, the way the robot became more and more menacing was quality and the leads were 100%

I watched a new sci-fi film called Freaks last night. Nothing to do with the 1932 flick- this is a sci-fi/ horror movie (though it's not really horror at all) that starts rather slowly but finishes at a frantic pace, and whereas the premise borrows heavily from certain aspects of the X-Men concept, it turned out to be a surprisingly good and watchable film.

I watched this last night as well and agree, thought it would be total trash but I'd give it a go anyway and turned out well.

Yeah saw that Thursday and it’s not bad, think I mistook it for a film with a similar premise though that’s not based on superheroes.!

There was another recent, low budget Canadian science fiction film about a dystopia where people superpowers are outlawed, called Code 8.

that's not a sci-fi picture - one of my favourite films of recent years though
eta: just looked at the IMDb entry and it sort of has a similar premise. Very different type of film though

Athlete A, the story of those who reported Larry Nassar for sexual assaults to US Gymnastics who then covered up his wrongdoings for years. Well worth a watch but does contain details of assaults. Another great documentary from Netflix.

I'd never connected that to Freaks but it's certainly a lot better.
