Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sleeper-Cell Although I am pretty sure this isn't an Australian concept, it is still important to understand Australian TV. You see there is a law in Australia that dictates that a certain percentage of TV shows must be Australian content. This is to try and ensure some kind of cultural identity or something. The problem of course is Australian TV is just pitiful and it is nothing more than a sheltered workshop. Not that many actors seem to be getting work anymore as most of the shows are reality TV. But then, reality TV is scripted with actors anyway, right?So now we have a new low. Watch tragic, mostly overweight people watching reality TV shows and making comments accordingly. The fact that this show won a Logie says it all really. Australian television is dead.

Kane If your an avid YouTube user, chances are you'll know what reaction videos are and how pointless and boring They are. This show is pretty much YouTube reaction videos on TV. People watch a trending show of some kind and comment on things that happen. These people try to be funny but make you groan instead since most of the show's humour is "Lol, they swore. That's pretty funny." This isn't entertainment, id rather watch these shows myself rather then having random people i don't care for talk over them.

The Grand Master I didn't think much of Gogglebox when Channel Ten were advertising this and sure enough upon watching one episode this show was nothing more than a crap concept. This is purely bottom of the barrel stuff here.It seems that the UK version was more successful than the Australian version when first aired in 2013. God forbid if there was a US version of Gogglebox, that may be more entertaining.Is this really what television has come to?! Watching viewers watch TV and hear all their comments, remarks and reactions?! Do people really consider this to be entertainment value?! I just can't fathom for the life of me who thought that this was going to be a good idea. Watching this show feels like an insult to my intelligence.I feel sorry for the participants of this show for participating in such rubbish.Shows like Gogglebox confirms in my mind that today's television is getting worse now for the past several years and sure enough Gogglebox is a perfect example of how bad TV is nowadays.Will Gogglebox return for a second season? I guess we will all have to stay tuned.In the meantime, I will be avoiding Gogglebox as I have better things to do.1/10.

ccladue-968-316401 My wife and I were not going to bother with this pointless drivel from the awful promos alone ("Oh that poor cow!" is still tumbling around in my head making me want to tear my hair out) - as the incredibly inane idea of watching people watch television is a bit too pointless for words. It turned out to be far more unbearable than we had imagined and we certainly will not put ourselves through it again.Apparently there are actually people who like to waste precious time out of their own lives by watching other people that they don't even know watch television and make juvenile comments like a class clown in the back row. It takes all kinds I guess, but this is produced in a way where it never even seems to begin by the time it is over and seems to be made for people with an attention span of about five seconds (which, in this day and age, is not that far off). There is no continuity of any kind or rhyme or reason to anything in this tortuous mess.One male attempts to hum the theme song to a show he is watching.People imitate the voice of the people they are watching.One woman gets up and stands around for a few minutes (her head not even framed in the scene with just her torso showing) saying "I have to pee!"No...I am not making any of this up. Really.Someone once told me that you can't underestimate the intelligence of the general public and this is most certainly true. (Notice I said "can't underestimate" - in other words, many people would probably watch a show about bread burning or algae growing as long as there was music and odd pointless incongruous comments in the background.) When it comes to pure sensory deprivation, dunce-hood, and depersonalization, this is probably the "best" show for it. Good luck with your time on planet Earth. Something like this just about kills it and is actually depressing when you consider how many people really spend their time in such pursuits.
