Oh no you don't have netflix so that means your missing out on Black Mirror. See this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I don't even know what that is! Wait lemme see.

Okay so apparently I lied. I was confusing "Glitch" with something else. But I've seen both trailers now and Glitch is very Resurrected like! Though with Resurrected (view spoiler)[the one woman was actually pregnant when she committed suicide but didn't know and then the husband, remarried, can't seem to produce children with his current wife. (hide spoiler)] I think that's pretty... just wow. Not only 'hey I'm back! But hey baby too!'

Also saw Black Mirror, the trailer, and very... Like that one movie with Jim Carrey? Though I can't quite figure it out?

Yeah the (view spoiler)[ preacher when he was young (hide spoiler)]. I wish it wasn't cancelled. I wanted to see more. At least Glitch just finished shooting their 2nd season and there definitely is a similar wow moment.

Black Mirror - looks like they are making a 4th season which is such good news. There are 13 episodes. They start fresh. Each episode is a different story but it's like a book anthology where they all follow a common theme. (imdb says "A television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology.") I bet your talking about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

All the good stuff gets cancelled T.T

I noticed that, I had to retype my search to get the right trailer. But no not that one. The Truman Show? Something Truman I think. That one is what I'm referring to. I've never watched Eternal Sunshine though I read on wiki what it was about. Confusing if you ask me :P

oh yeah the Truman show. I have to admit I didn't watch either of those fully but would check out Eternal properly sometime.

The Truman Show. What made you think of that?

Because of the Black Mirror part of the conversation not the Resurrected part. :) (msg 3)

Kay.

Oh yes totally. I mean, I saw it once long ago and I was totally confused and somewhat freaked but yes, basically Truman lives his entire life in a studio where everything is faked and his entire life is watched by 'viewers' and while I still don't 100% grasp the Black Mirror show, it definitely made me think of that movie.

That would definitely fit in IMO. Would you consider that Science Fiction? The kind you like? Or do you prefer more far future and space travel and aliens. :)

If anyone wants to check Black Mirror out, it is recommended that you don't start with season 1, episode 1. I started with season 3.

There was an episode where you could tape everything you lived. Pretty much had a contact lens recorder. Have a disagreement with who said what? Think you saw someone give someone a curious glance when you walked in the room? Want to relive that Hawaii visit? Just rewind... of course nothing is as good as it seems.

Me? Oh gosh I love all sorts of genre's when it comes to movies! I love romance, comedy, rom-com and fantasy and science fiction and action. I mean I love Transformers and can't wait for the next one. I went and saw Ghost in the Shell twice and I own the anime movie as well. I also love anime and books too! Though I've never read or gotten a manga book. I want to, but money and so many volumes :(

I kind of got that, but having you confirm makes me more confident on what's going on!

Oh my, look at me. Yes I do think that movie, The Truman Show, is science fiction. I mean, what else can one classify it as?

Yourself?

Actually my movie taste is like my music taste, extremely diverse. But that's just the best. I recently even started getting interested in Korean Dramas and also horror movies and books which I previously did not like. Books like The Woman in Cabin 10 and The Final Girls I want to get!

Oh anyone see the new movie trailer Happy Death Day? Reminded me of this discussion!

Yeah diverse here also. :)

^^ I'm surprised though at my newfound love of items like the Korean Drama and horror movies and books because I've never liked that genre before and wasn't interested in Korean anything. I mean I had The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes on my list for awhile now and I have read Cold Blood by Lynda La Plant but when reading the blurb for both The Woman in Cabin 10 and the Final Girls I was really interested. And this Happy Death Day movie looks SOOOO interesting!

Rhae wow you mentioned a lot of books/movies I've never heard of. I'll have to check them out.

Cara, if your still here... I saw there are two different Glitch on Netflix. What's up with that? Looking at the description you'll easily identify the correct one though.

Reminds of that movie with Robin Williams,The Final Cut, from the sounds of it.

Oh nice. I'm going to hunt that down and watch it. Thanks. It was a great episode so it'll be nice to see another version of it with the awesome Robin Williams RIP.

Sweet it's on TV. Set my DVR.

Still here, Corinne. I saw that Netflix had two different Glitches. Glitch 1 is a Netflix original that we're looking for and the second Glitch is a movie that has to do with gaming.

fyi. i'm no longer following.
