Your Halloween Movie Lineup

[Silver]

Weren't you the one who told me you couldn't continue watching Black Mirror after the Shut up and dance episode?

Or maybe I'm confusing you with someone else?

No, I didn't say I couldn't continue watching it. I said I couldn't continue reviewing it. Hell, I wasn't even sure I would be allowed to cover The National Anthem or The Waldo Moment until I brought up the idea of reviewing 15 Million Merits to my boss. Eventually, though, I figured out I could review it without bringing up that CP plot point, but I could only do so by mentioning that there was a plot twist so severe I (whose favourite film literally coined the phrase Ultraviolence) could not, in good conscience, bring it up on Anglotopia. I think the closest I came was mentioning that, the first time I watched it, I found myself thinking that if he let it leak, he could turn the tables on the blackmailers fairly easily, but it turned out he had a damn good reason to not do that.

I suppose I should have figured I could do it eventually; I managed to take on The National Anthem while mentioning the PM fucking a pig exactly once. When I did The Waldo Moment, I made sure the only current event I mentioned was the current season of South Park, even as the comparisons between Waldo and Trump are too obvious to ignore (since Anglotopia prefers to keep politics to a minimum.)

Also, I'm fairly certain burnout played a role in my initial refusal to review Series 3; I devoted over 7500 words to Series 1 and 2, and Series 3 was longer than the previous two combined. I was knackered after writing it and was not ready to do the third season. Eventually, throughout the year, I ended up feeling ready to do so. I wound up devoting a bit less than 9000 words to Series 3 in all.

It was a while ago; at least I got it right that it was you even if the reasoning was off.

Why is your boss such a prick, though? And your job is writing reviews for television shows? That's so freaking cool. I wish I had that job, as many shows as I watch:

Don't get me wrong, that thread is not precisely a "review" thread, but I think I'd be pretty good at reviewing.
