Didn't you buy Far Cry 6?

*smashes F5 on IMAX advance tickets page for a year*

I watched it all on the weekend. Although it was shorter, it didn’t hold my interest as well as Squid game, and although there are characters who appear throughout, it seemed weirdly aimless about who the protagonist was supposed to be, which stopped me from being as invested as Squid Game. It wasn’t awful, but I’m not sure I’d be up for a second series. The bargain basement CG didn’t help either, and Between this, Eternals, and Edge of Tomorrow (To pick just a few) I’m a bit sick of formless monsters that look like the inside of that cardboard box you keep all your old phone chargers and scart cables in.

Don’t think it has been cancelled? Can’t find any mention of it, and would be unusual for Showtime to cancel a show the same week it premieres! Enjoyed the first two episodes! Was funnier (and grosser) than expected!

I’ve finished it. Had its moments, but was overall a bit disappointed, especially given how much I loved Train to Busan. Think mainly it was down to the silly looking monsters.

I think His House was great in that it clearly had something to say, but was also a good horror film too. It’s a really tough combo to pull off - see the recent Candyman remake for Exhibit A.

Gravity Falls is great if you’ve not seen it and you like the Duck Tales Reboot.

Top Gun. I’m saving it for my death bed.

So excited to see Forest Hill’s premiere chicken shop name checked in a game!

I watched a doc about showrunners last night, and one of the showrunners said the great line “The first season, the actors work for you. The second season, you’re partners. The third season, you work for them.” As when a show is a hit, it’s the actors that become irreplaceable.

Genuine Eternals spoilers, do not read if you're planning to watch:

I know who the New Gods are thanks, but in the film they’re basically treated as exact analogues for

Saw Eternals. Were they always an off brand Justice League? It’s the equivalent of DC making a movie called The Revengers, featuring Tony Stork as Iron Lad, Roger Stevens as Corporal America and Moose Hammer as The Incredible Bulk. 6/10.

I’m doing this too, just watched the double sitcom pitch episode. I’ve never seen the show before. I think that starting with series 3 is the way to go.

It’s absolutely brilliant. Been playing it today. Genius idea executed so well!
