Last year was exciting. Can't wait.

Holy gamoly.

[spoiler=avert your gaze to this blob thing until you've watched this film - I warned you]The pencil in the ear canal pierce.
Headshots - not that John picked up freelance photography in any way, shape or form...Plentiful dead bodies everywhere. Perhaps close to thirty to fifty unfortunate casualties.

Edit: à la Reddit - 128 kill count - felt like 1000.

I winced when the gal/Ruby who ASLs was in that eerie video close up of her head - I thought we were going to see her headshot up close.
The art gallery is ruined and awesome breaking glass installation - like, done in studio? Or asked for permission? That's one way to take down the installation. I liked the two bullet holes in the wall in the gallery.
Our boy the dog better not die.
Goosebumps when the park onlookers stopped/froze at the manager's phone call.
Hilarity ensues - both from line drops and bizarre tension on sacred ground in the establishment(?).
And the staircase tumble of Keanu and Common/doubles.
The cars. His house.

Edit: Can't wait to see how he escapes from everyone. I would like our Russian truce to help us hide since there was no shot towards them when every cellphone was ringing up - or I'm blind.
Poor John. The scream he made whilst back in the business? I feel ya, fictional John. You promised your spouse yet went back, promising you were done for good. Yep - it went all Kingsmen on me with the maps, tailored suit, and guns.

Reddit's saying that it's Winston's marker at the end that he hands to John.

Could not have said it better - the film was indeed a show and don't tell narrative.[/spoiler]

By far my favourite - and wished I could have stayed to listen to all of the music rolling through the end credits.

Edit: It is indeed brutal. [spoiler]I personally prefer the first one to this head busting mesh. Does it glorify something bad here? Yes. I love the gun shots and awesome reloads - I diddley did. The lines for me are blurred since I was gleeful excited and the adrenaline pumped nauseating louder and faster. Vroom vroom and bang bang crash.[/spoiler]

I've seen:
     S3 E2 Playtest
     S1 E2 Fifteen Million Merits

In this order, and I've thoroughly enjoyed both.

The series runs from 2011 with few episodes in their seasons.

I haven't seen this posted and if it's archived somewhere already, I can remove this post. Maybe. Last time I tried to remove a post, I wasn't able to, which is totally understandable.

Yesterday, I watched the first two episodes of the show and I like it so far.

The soundtrack is scored by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein and there are a lot of synthwave/retrowave sounds that are brilliant to listen to. I like the opener.

I like the colour palette of many scenes and the camera cuts and panning.

The text opener was a cool touch into the episodes - I enjoyed that too.

But the script on some parts are like, nonononononono - stahp.

That's it. I hope the second season will be coolio as their first one.

Thanks to ExBerian for posting this wonderful illustration - this image sums up my feelings of the upcoming group project and the tiny JavaScript knowledge I have.

As of 9 o'clock-ish, I'll be 22.
