First episode of the new season of Black Mirror was fucking hilarious.
Just finished it. Pretty great start to the new season. Onto the next one…which has a…familiar titleFirst episode of the new season of Black Mirror was fucking hilarious.
I saved it and now I can't wait!Omg that second episode of Black Mirror was horrifying. I love this show, but this is weirdly the first episode that messed me up.
So...I'm not saying it's a carbon copy, because it goes in other places...but the launching premise of Ep01 is the South Park human centipede episode where people don't read the Apple terms and conditions from years ago.Just finished it.

Tbh I didn't love the concept of not reading terms of service cause it did feel like I had seen it somewhere else. But the rest of it was great.So...I'm not saying it's a carbon copy, because it goes in other places...but the launching premise of Ep01 is the South Park human centipede episode where people don't read the Apple terms and conditions from years ago.
"So whose anus is doing the shitting?"
"Ummm...Salma Hayek's anus."
Also...is that a Charlie's Angels outfit Salma is supposed to be in? Or Kill Bill? It's an homage to something, right?
And Salma saying Com-puta for computer...it is a very quotable episode.
Oh...twist ending! I should have known, Black Mirror, and not given live impressions cause now I just took a shit in the proverbial church of this thread. Duck you, Michael Cera!
Terms and conditions was definitely low hanging fruit, but I love the message that essentially anyone is fair game to 1. Go viral in a negative light and 2. The people have always been the product. This is why social media is free.

As the saying goes, if you don't pay for it then you are the product being soldTerms and conditions was definitely low hanging fruit, but I love the message that essentially anyone is fair game to 1.

Agreed. He's what my wife and I call a "bland man".PS: I'm not sure Common actually works for me as an actor in any role I've seen him in. He's a good looking guy with a great voice & charisma to burn, but something feels off about every performance I've ever seen him give. He's delivering some particularly thick slices of ham in Silo.
I am always just waiting for him to break out in bars.Agreed. He's what my wife and I call a "bland man".
This is my biggest issue. Common cannot act, other than slight variations of myself. This is tough Common, this is hangry Common, this is happy Common. If he is the big baddie, then they really poorly cast the character.PS: I'm not sure Common actually works for me as an actor in any role I've seen him in.

I don't even think he's bland. He's got *something* and you can't really take your eyes off him when he's on screen, but he's also not good, or at least has never been given the right role and/or put in the work to channel what makes him a compelling presence into becoming a better actor.I've only seen him in a couple of things, and most recently Never Have I Ever, which is an excellent show, but this pretty much sums it up.
My wife gets angry about his leather coat. While they seem to have a few cows in the silo, they tightly control resources. Using the hide for a “cool” jacket is such a waste when the leather could be used for other practical things. We still keep watching though.I don't even think he's bland.

Yes! And every time someone casually shatters or burns an object, it's like "welp, there goes another non-renewable resource."My wife gets angry about his leather coat.
