This immediately makes me think of Solid Snake retiring to the Alaskan wilderness to raise wolves. I'm sure there are loads of movie examples, can't think of any right now though.
I believe Brooker is a fan of waltz with Bashir. He said something about crying at one of the scenes once.
I think the best thing is how much of a Charlie Brooker premise it is - kind of something he might throw out offhand in an episode of screenwipe. Not only that, but it's taken dramatically seriously, not really played for laughs, so the humor is all the better for it.
I also really enjoyed Black Mirror, especially due to the fact that the whole pig aspect wasn't revealed in the ads - the audience finds out alongside the PM. There was also a lot of well observed stuff, like people not believing it was real when it wasn't on tv. The culmination was quite harrowing, but I thought that the wrap up at the end put too fine a point on things that should have been left with you to think about.
Die Hard. Watching it is now a Christmas eve tradition for me.
I did finish XIII, but I sort of had battered wife syndrome by the end of it. It became habitual, today I play final fantasy for 30 minutes to an hour until it's finished and convince myself that it's not actually so bad. I think I'm best off not even beginning this new one.
@Rorie: Regardless, we have the re-release of final fantasy X to contend with - which will be spectacular.
I feel like you just know where you fall on this issue, rationale is irrelevant and the answer delineates the kind of man you are. Scarlett Johansson.
Wow, how did I miss this? It's happening agaaaaaain!
I've been harboring a desire to dress as Die Hard 1 John McClane for a while now. Still waiting for an opportunity to do so.
Not quite next year, but I'm planning to leave Batman till mid to late December. Our Uni exams definitely finish by the 17th, so that's a nice pre Christmas window to relax after exams and gorge on batman. Did the same thing with Assassins Creed Brotherhood last year and it worked out nicely.
@Gigolo81: Too bad, might have been able to send some pics to STV news.
