You won't be disappointed!

Memorable, crazy movie

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

I do not watch black mirror, but as I saw that this episode is rated the best I tried. the first half of the episode was great, good acting, interesting characters, and I really wanted to know what would happen next. But second half turned into depressive boring story about people who can't solve problems in their social/family life regardless of the technology. That is the reason I do not like whole black mirror - usually problems of main characters would not happen at all, or could be easily solved with some basic psychological knowledge or a help of a therapist.And the ending was absolutely terrible - illogical characters and conclusion whose only purpose was to be even more depressing.

This episode like many other written by Mr. Brooker traffics in hoary old sc-fi cliches going back at least to Twilight Zone where they were far briefer, to the point & better written. Mr. Brooker has a one-note dystopian mind but it does not dig very deep. More interested in peoples' self-absorption with lifestyles & public opinions. Surprising - & sad/depressing - how popular this series is. Well, in a few years it will be buried in a quickly forgotten slag heap of quasi-techno dysopian memes. Good riddance. On the plus side, John Hamm is a wonderful actor.

This episode from the series Black Mirror just creeps me out and upsets me on so many levels. It touches, I suppose, on many of the fears that affect me most, those being isolation, non-existence, having an active mind but a non-functioning body (like a coma where you can't move one bit so everyone thinks you're dead but in fact you hear everything), and picking someone up at a party or bar that you don't know, only to find out that it was a very bad idea. Oh, and how love can change to hate and the horrors that come with letting your love grow to the point where, if it ever was betrayed, it could drive you mad beyond reason. This is a high-def link and surprisingly they all seem to be on you-tube. The atmosphere you watch them in affects a great deal the impact they would have. Must be in the evening/night and must be with the lights dimmed low. That's not precisely because the night is scarier than the daytime but because dark moods and fears thrive better and are more susceptible to causing fear at night/in the dark. I'm not joking though ladies and gentlemen, this is serious stuff.
