Saw the 'twist' too but didn't think it was meant to be surprising anyway. Liked the world.
I'm the only person I know who complains they don't watch enough TV or films... I feel I must be missing out, as a lot of people who's judgement I trust like these things, but I just can't stand the boredom of staring at a screen for hours on end.
Never enough time... long list of movies & shows to try out. My current excuse for ignoring it is pausing-unpausing the Seinfeld show on Netflix. Hardly ever watch a movie in one sitting. That's the upside of streaming services. Unpause when you like.
I still haven't seen Avatar, or Braveheart; I haven't even seen Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, or Cool Runnings, and I thought they both looked quite good when they first came out! See also, Twilight, Handmaids Tale, Man in the High Castle, Walking Dead, etc, etc.
Avatar: skippable. Braveheart: eh. Robin Hood PoT: here you go, save yourself a couple hours. Twilight only as a contrast for the kind of talent Robert Pattinson was hiding. Man in the High Castle... story & characters too uninteresting to make up for the warehouse-set feel, made it to ep2 I think. Walking Dead can fuck off.
I HAVE seen Game of Thrones, so yay me; never again though, couldn't stand it! Loads of it was really upsetting, and it's just made up! Why do people make up shit that's horrible and upsetting? I don't understand :/
Way sanitized compared to the books. Not sure what aspects you thought were upsetting though, so...
