Manmade famine in an area that is a few kms away from every fast food franchise the world has to offer. Barbarous Dystopia isn’t a strong enough term.

Save The Prince Charles Cinema The iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London’s West End future is under serious threat! We are beyond disappointed that our landlords Zedwell LSQ Ltd and their ultimate parent company Criterion Capital...

The Prince Charles - a West End institution - is under threat. Support them, unless you want to see another fucking M&M superstore where this beautiful cinema is. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Just remembered severance is coming back so soon!!! Never kill yourself

I enjoyed the pitting of logic against spirituality that Danny Boyle spoke about in the Q&A after. Thank fuck they changed it from the original ending which was apparently 2 of the characters calmly playing chess as they plummeted into the sun

It’s an interesting and quite a stressful watch due to the stylistic directorial choices, I was gripped for the whole thing through what was ultimately quite a standard plot with at least a couple of holes

I enjoyed this, quite quickly bought into the quite dumb premise really of throwing a nuclear bomb into the sun to save humanity which is testament to Danny Boyle’s directing prowess

Haven’t finished it yet though so keeping an open mind…agree? Disagree?

Having said this it is interesting to see the heterosexual stereotype of an older man ‘teaching’ a naive younger woman flipped on screen, exploring another side of female desire, however poorly this is executed

I don’t recognise older Catherine’s personality in young Catherine, it feels more like young Catherine is a stock character designed to highlight older Catherine’s feminine ‘shortcomings’

So far I’m not loving it to be honest. The first couple of eps were intriguing, but by the fourth/fifth, it begins to feel like a story demonising a caricature of avaricious female sexual desire and aligning this with poor motherhood
