TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

ewaf58 For those of you living in the UK Christmas has become synonymous with a group of records that get played continuously over the festive period. Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas - Slade Merry Christmas and of course 'I wish it could be Christmas every day by Wizard. If you manage to avoid all of these songs then you must be spending the whole of December in nuclear bunker.Each of the stories were macabre in their own way - the thought of a copy of my consciousness being 'alive' and having to be a domestic slave or risk being 'locked' in a digital time vault where the length of punishment can be anything from a second to infinity (or at least until the World ends) was truly frightening.So here we met voyeurs - a suspected murderous schizophrenic - a murderer and someone who could inflict extreme cruelty at the flick of a switch without appearing to care.With reference to my first paragraph - the writer - Charlie Brooker - clearly understands the monotony of continually repeated Christmas songs and so decided to inflict the ultimate in punishments on one of the characters whose consciousness was in a time vault.I'm just trying to imagine how I would cope having to listen to Wizard's 'I wish it could be Christmas every day' non stop for a 1000 years (digital time) I think after a week I would have gone totally mad - but of course as a digital version of yourself you can't sleep or commit suicide. Can there be a worse torture? For me it would be having to listen to Slade's little 'gem' as well. With that in mind perhaps I will try and getaway for next Christmas - somewhere where the men in white coats can't find me.

dierregi Thanks to the smooth, handsome presence of Jon Hamm this is an eminently watchable episode. However, Hamm brings across some of the creepiness of his Don Draper character.Stuck in an outpost with a "colleague", named Joe, the Hamm character (named Matt) starts telling how he ended up in the allegedly sh**y job, far removed from society. As a sidelines from his main job, Matt used to run a sort of dating service, giving real-time advice to insecure men on how to hook up with girls. Unethically, Matt shared these experiences live, with his previous clients. Voyeurism turns into Matt's demise, when one of his clients hooks up with the wrong girl. Then Matt starts talking about his main job and from this moment it is clear where the episode is heading. Matt's job is actually convincing his "colleague" Joe to open up about his past and since Matt is so smooth you can bet he will succeed.The story takes place during the Christmas period and the festive atmosphere adds more creepines to the unfolding tale. Do not expect a happy ending (sorry Matt, not even for you, since you don't deserve it)

mateo130 I think the concept is absolutely genuine and interesting. I would even say that this so called "cookie" could be extremely useful. The thing I must learn from this episode that until humanity exists in the present format we will never lose the hidden evil inside. Whatever we make or will make in the future will always be used for the wrong purposes and to hurt others just because our own ego. This episode and black mirror itself is just phenomenal because it highlights topics which are deeply pressed inside us in this heavily sugarcoated society.

MartinHafer SPOILER: The British sci-fi anthology series consists of various tales about how technology will possibly create a more hellish world in the near future...and none of the episodes I have seen so far are as hellish a future as this one.The story is set in a room with two men. One is talkative and a bit jovial and the other, apparently, has been mostly silent the last five years. What follows are two stories by the more talkative man as he recounts how he abused technology. And, these stories, in turn, help the quiet man to finally start talking and he tells a very sad story about losing his wife/girlfriend (not sure which)...and she was pregnant! He desperately wants to see her and work things out...as well as see his child. But thanks to modern tech, he literally CAN'T see either as unfriending takes on a strange and sad finality.I really don't want to say too much about this one...it's not an easy episode to explain AND it would give away too much. Suffice to say it's exquisitely written, very moving as well as scary to imagine such an awful and hellish future...all perhaps possible one day thanks to technology. See this one!!
