Spitting Image (2020)
Had a laugh
I had many laughs while watching the pilot so this show works for me! Please keep making episodes.
Final Space: The Notorious Mrs. Goodspeed (2019)
Planet Sorbo
I wonder if planet Sorbo in this episode was named after Kevin Sorbo, as a tribute to the Andromeda sci-fi show.
Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers (2018)
Fast forwarding
I probably said "GET OVER IT" so many times while watching this movie. Yeah it's unbelievable, you did that thing, you touched this thing, they do exist, get over it.
With the remote in the hand I skipped over the reporter-in-disbelief scenes, the completely unrelated filler material, and other parts with empty words talk.
There's probably 5 interesting minutes in the movie, which is when you see Bob drawing and explaining things. I was hoping for more science.
A proper documentary without tons of sensationalism would have been better. Interviews with real scientists about UUP or current science of gravity, for example.
Would not have hurt for Bob to drop some science himself.
Downsizing (2017)
Deep and funny
This movie was unexpected. I had once listened to an audiobook also with a story of smaller people but this was different. Some good laughs, and deep moments too. I cannot understand where other reviewers with bad ratings are coming from, but I guess they had expectations which did not turn out. This movie is clearly distinguished and worth watching. On a side note, finally a movie that works without killing anyone.
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Good movie but stereotypical and unjust message
This movie would have been better for me if the protagonist would have come out on top at the end. Hollywood seems to employ the formula in this — and many other movies — that the law is above all, even above good people such as the protagonist. All this just to give the audience the feeling that they are safe after all, I guess. This is not according to my sense of justice.
Criminal Minds: Normal (2008)
Nice intro but ...
... why make the criminal a bad guy.
Apologies for the spoiler, don't read ahead if you still want to see the episode!
I like the opening because the criminal character seems to shoot the woman in the car because she flamed him. Just later it turns out he did it because she reminded him of his dominant wife. To make it even worse, he goes on a killing spree for blonde women in cars. I would have liked it more if he would have targeted victims who were being rude to him first. That would have given the killer the aspect of being a good/righteous person after all (somehow reminding of the movie "Falling Down"). But the story is to make him a sad and bitter person turning into a bad person. That puts a death mark on him in the eyes of the audience. It would have been more interesting if he would have stayed a good person in some way.
Also the narrated phrase after the introduction, "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." is great, but I would have preferred if the "normal man" would have stayed within his own laws, and not kill victims by luring them.
Futurama: The Luck of the Fryrish (2001)
One of the greatest episodes in Futurama
There are some Futurama episodes which are not so good, but this one is really outstandingly well done. Much was said in other comments, I cannot really add new things.
One can see quite some references to the 80's, apparently Mr. Groening or Mr. Cohen tried to place good memories there. Have to say I am also a child of the 80's.
The appearance of the song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds is really well placed, too. (I hope the sole mentioning of it is not a spoiler, since it's mentioned already on its IMDb page. Didn't say where it is played though!)
