Lovely stuff this
IKR?! That has stayed with me I think…
I just hope Severance doesn’t end up going the same way as Lost
Funny, I had the same reaction but for The Silo.
I had exactly the same thought about the similarities to Lost when watching that last episode. I’ve really enjoyed Severance but there is a risk of the story getting more ridiculous and not hanging together. Hope I’m proved wrong as it’s a great concept and good characters
Some top tier acting on that as all was revealed. ![]()
It is definitely at risk of pulling a Lost though I agree - really hope they don’t drag it out and stick the landing. The writing, style, and lore is great and I love how they keep doing new things with the premise.
I was getting a bit frustrated with that episode but it kind of redeemed itself by the end.
I must give that a watch. I read this a long while ago and it made quite the impression on me, just as Yugoslavia was beginning to fall apart. Recommend it if you haven’t read.
really odd film. Based on a classic Photographic Monograph by Danny Lyon, hence the photographer character but you’re right, its just a beautifully styled recreation of the photos. really odd.
new one from the guy who made Scavenger’s Reign
I just read a sample of this based on your recommendation. It looks great and I’ll get the book. Thanks for the suggestion
Loved Scavenger’s Reign (a tip from here I think) will check this out.
Severance had to remind myself of a lot of Season 1, started Season 2 yesterday. Playing a slow catch up
Worth it. We watched S1 again in advance of S2.
I wasn’t going to but glad I did. Had that frustrated excitement again at the end of season 1 so dived into season 2 fully amped. Having to wait a week for each episode is a bit of a killer though. Just want to binge the whole thing.
Black Bird on Apple TV - some really great directing and performances throughout. Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall is chillingly disturbing.
“Inspired by actual events, when high school football hero and decorated policeman’s son Jimmy Keene is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison, he is given the choice of a lifetime — enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall, or stay where he is and serve his full sentence with no possibility of parole. Keene quickly realizes his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through. But is this suspected killer telling the truth? Or is it just another tale from a serial liar?”
Just watched Queer the new Luca Guandigno film and man it’s a cracker. Daniel Craig exceptional in it. Another brilliant soundtrack from Trent Reznor too, what a great run he’s on. Brilliant movie.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
The new Luther Vandross doc starting now on Sky Arts
We’ve been watching loads of old movies with my 18yr old daughter since Christmas, she loves the 80s - early 90s since she saw The Breakfast Club one night… …
Ferris Buellers Day off yet?
