Notes &
Dead Set was shit
So shit in fact that it’s not even finished yet and I’m writing about how shit the rest of it already will be.
Top reasons of shitness…
- The whole post production looks like it has been done by students. Overusing every trick in the book in a crude and obvious way. The colour grading is terrible, somebody show them you can still achieve a dark and troubled colour grade and still have a decent amount of brightness to see what the fuck is going on.
- Characters. Where were they. As soon as we find out he’s gay, he’s northern, she’s going out with him and he’s the director they’re all dead or screaming for the rest of the dialogue. The only character I actually connected with was fucking davina mc fucking’call and she’s a tosser.
- Sit a five year old down and tell them to write a zombie story set in the big brother house and there will be more going on. Isn’t it meant to be scary? Argh I’m actually really disappointed I can’t work out anything to say.
- Please somebody explain to me how a whole crowd of people were destroyed by one zombie and then one woman destroys a crowd of zombies with a pair if scissors.
- It was made by the saviour of popular culture piss taking, and yet it fails on every level of shitness that screen wipe ever set standards for.
- Someone just killed a zombie with a fire extinguisher. Fuck this.
Apologies for a very badly written blog post. It makes me think, is Charlie Brooker doing a Chris Morris tactic? By putting out a decoy on the hype bus only to make example of how the great British public will eat any old shit up as long as they’ve been asked enough times by the telly box. And that even a golden boy like Charlie Brooker isn’t invincible from the many levels of piss soaked distortion shoved into a telly programme production line.
Agh fuck the lot of em. I’ve been hyped up the arse and now I’m walking funny.
