The Growing Years: Aspects of Socializations (1978)
Room for growth
Great Y. A. show for teens. A little better than Wonder Years. Not much, but it would have been better with Fred Savage in it. That's what I think. I really don't know what else to say. I mean, having to type this many letters is really annoying. It might even put some respectably reviewers, such as my self, off from doing a decent review. Aah, this is such tedious problem to have. I wish I didn't have to write all these extra sentences, but that's just how it is, I guess. Oh man, oh geez - hope the G3 won't track this review. I'm sitting at the applebees in the slums writing this, but I don't think they'd follow mere here.
Life (2017)
Definitely not as bad as the one - and two -star reviews make it out to be.
The crew on the ISS examines an organism brought back from Mars. 'Crap enters life-support' and the eerie happenings occur in fast pace with little room for anything but characters acting on guts, rather than a medium-long term plan. However, most of what they do, makes sense in the moment - if they aren't quickly patching up some part of the stations machinery (If you don't do that on a vessel in the vacuum of space, you don't do anything anymore) they are awestruck watching the extremely powerful and versatile little being do its thing. A few, but not so many as to be mind-boggling, unfounded and unthinkable mistakes were made by characters - compared to others in the genre; the ratio of unthinkable mistakes in this movie pulls the average in the right direction. Also, discover them on your own - Many of the reviews here spoil several scenes, ick.
I thought this movie was way more, forgive the pun, air-tight than some of its' recent genre-siblings. The characters from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant still win the "I should have been a space trucker"-awards, while these guys, (however boring.. maybe even because they were boring) seemed more like scientists than any in my recent sci-fi memory.
Fyi: I only have sci-fi memory.
Black Mirror: Nosedive (2016)
Community did this
I thought most of this episode felt fake on more that just the apparent level. Like the problem wasn't really being dealt with in an appropriate manner. I actually think that Community did it better with their meowmeowbeenz; explored more layers in what could and would happen than this 'serious' attempt. And Harmon did it in half the time. I love Brooker to death, he is a hefty inspiration to me, but this one felt a little hollow.
