Midnight Mass on Netflix…interesting interpretation of a classic horror trope. One more episode to watch tonight! Then maybe some gratuitously gory/campy 80’s horror movie because it’s Halloween season obviously
First ep was great, pretty much straight from the book and a perfect setup for the series.
The second ep kinda devolved into a soap opera by comparison, really deflating after being so buoyed with the first ep.
Haven’t watched the third ep yet, might wait a few weeks until this inital disappointment wears off a bit.
Proper sci-fi is still a genre TV doesn’t do particularly well, which is a great shame given the huge amount of great sci-fi source literature out there.
Anyway, looks like they’ll be doing one crisis a season maximum, with a fresh cast each time. I was hoping for something a little more compact and concise, but Disney will probably try and pad this out as much as possible … assuming they don’t cancel it before concluding it.
Black Summer
Seriously like it is non-stop tension. They don’t lift off the gas in terms of pace and edge of the seat without rest. Not many episodes, so easy to binge watch a season in couple of days.
Bushwick
Watched this today. I heard there was a second FB whistleblower that has come forward and said the “outage” was not some DOS attack, but Zuck wiping the servers of any incriminating evidence whistleblower #1 was going to find with her lawyers or the Consumer Protection Agencies possible subpoena. She stated there was no evidence of any kind re a DOS attack, and all his social media sites went off and back on at the same time.
The world seems to be running on cynicism:
If you have no qualms about how Facebook operates, its recent dip is a buying opportunity.
Nothing new under the sun…
It’s crisis mitigation 101 in real-time, again exactly as it was before:
- There’s some real hardcore whistleblower out there right now, which they make sure you won’t see.
- They let out completely controlled fake whistleblower (you can easily see why) and project it all over the MSM and soycial media.
- Zuckerborg
will get to the senate and pretend like he’s not completely on board with US government and world elites, yet again. Also will try his best to make sure people would not see him as a robot
by drinking some water like all humans do.
- Meanwhile smart people will dump all their facebook stonks in crypto (as you can see right now) and other ones will try to persuade to buy dip of that corporation of evil stonks yet again (as you’ve linked above)…
- Nothing will change, profit.
Unfortunately the only way to stop that evil crap - is to stop using it on individual level.
This!
But realistically, the prospect of that happening on a missive scale seems to be rather grim.
I started watching this a little over a year ago and kind of lost interest…not sure why, because it was actually a pretty decent show. Considering how over-saturated the whole “zombie-apocalypse” genre market has been this was actually not too bad. I’ll have to try picking it back up now and that trailer looks tasty!
It is the lack of character development. Characters get introduced and die suddenly without warning. Some sort of game of thrones sudden character exits. But whoa the action, quiet stealth moments are intense, like there is zero time for character bonding. Yea you should pick it up again, season episodes are short anyway.
60% of internet users use Facebook or Instacrap.
I’ll use it from now!!!
TBH I’m debating whether to carry on watching it any more.
Spoilers:
Summary
They killed off the 2 main characters from the first 2 episodes, to be replaced with completely new characters 35 years later.
I hate it when media does a bait and switch like this. You get invested in characters just to have them trivially thrown away a handful of episodes in? Nah, not something I’m interested in tbh.
Watched American Horror Story and Doom Patrol yesterday. Tonight is What We Do In The Shadows, can’t wait for that one!
