Fantastic!
... View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreThis is a version of Big Brother that has celebrity housemates and much shorter series. Very few of the celebrities are actually famous. Most of them either used to be famous and are trying to make a comeback - or they are talentless wannabes who have never really been famous and are trying to use a reality show to launch their careers. Most of the housemates are either boring or are arrogant / obnoxious.
... View MoreThe Big Brother racism controversy from 2007 deserves reflection a decade on. Sure, it was unpleasant but the mob and chattering classes really went into overdrive (with good intentions I guess) and I think much to their regret later on. I wonder to what extent the editing misrepresented Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd in their interaction with Shilpa Shetty in the house. Maybe the mob and chattering classes felt guilty about the gains made by the Conservative Party (with their shameful anti-immigration election slogan "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?") in the 2005 general election.With Brexit voted on an the UK leaving the EU, I wonder how the racism controversy would play out now?
... View MoreSeriously I hate how Big Brother is still always on our screens. It's the worst television show in the world! It's just such stupid wannabes who wants to be appeared on the camera in order to get more money! It's like, those people appearing on the show don't give a monkeys arse if they act stupid and rude towards the other contestants! This definitely is not a reality show, in fact, it's more like "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". It's just so depressing and ignorant, it would just put you off looking at their sorry faces and the inappropriate behavior that goes on. You could only see just a few well-known "celebrities" contestants on this, the rest just come out of nowhere! I really hope they cancel this godforsaken show, it's disgusting and distasteful!
... View MoreThere is an awful lot of competition for the above accolade, but this programme is definitely one of the worst around. This series three people have already walked out (as of writing) which shows how much the producers have lost it in recent series in trying to make the very dull antics of the house-mates more interesting. The decreasing viewing figures can hardly make up for the low production values any more.There are very few house-mates you could term as being famous. Last year it was won by an unknown, Chantelle who has proceeded to unleash a dire show of her own on the unsuspecting public, but at least we have the consolation that it probably won't be long before viewers get sick of her. The other contestant from that series that springs to mind is George Galloway who with the biggest expense bill of all the MPs last year should be serving his voters, not pretending to be a cat in one of the most cringe-worthy moments of TV in recent years.My major problem with the show (as I can just not watch it) is that it is an excuse for most of the most popular newspapers in Britain to devote pages and pages to these wannabes and has-beens in the place of any real news or indeed anything interesting.The other thing of course like all so-called 'celebrity' shows is that nobody actually famous or currently successful is going to want to appear on the show and be made to look foolish. Every series the producers 'accidentally' leak names of real celebrities who are supposed to be appearing (but who wouldn't dream of demeaning themselves like this), so that people watch the launch show and go "who the hell is that?" at the entry of half the contestants.Please cancel this rubbish now and produce some real entertainment. Please?
