"What to look for on: TV, Online, Radio, & Cinema"
|Das Signal (Fernsehserie) - on Netflix.
German series about mysterious signals from space. Some very annoying characters in it like a smart ass child and annoyingly thick fawning Dad and some ludicrous plot twists - who except loopy billionaires would send a mentally unstable, drug addled, chain smoking astronaut into space to hang out with professional astronauts. It gets more interesting when the crazy old lady with conspiracy plot knowledge appears on the scene. She's the best one in it. Police agents chase them around while smoking their way to a conclusion. I was most annoyed that none of the characters had tidy houses. It looked like they were all living in sheds built on recycling yards or spent their spare time at car boot/yard sales buying any old junk. I wanted to stop production and clean it all up. Not sure what a hoarder is in German (Der Hamsterer?!). There's a blatant lack of continuity in some of these shows - the kid uses a SW radio to contact aliens but as usual, they forgot to plug in an antenna. I have seen that in so many shows. D'oh.
I watched it in German with English subs (some chunks are in English). Not to be confused with another movie from the US of a similar name. I only watched it as I was ill and I felt I had to see it to its interminable end while laying immobile on the sofa.

I remember the original with I think Sissy Spacek as Carrie.
Back in those days, with no Internet, we didn't know what the plot was so the jump scares and plot twists were very effective.
Stephen King wrote so many good stories - my favourite is Christine about a haunted car.
|Digger - a movie about an apocalypse
This has Tom Cruise looking almost unrecognisable. I saw the trailer and it's obviously a satire of Trump, Musk and others and their likely destruction of the world. It's been panned by critics but the trailer looks interesting. I'll wait for it to be out on streaming or sharing.
I am not sure why it's called Digger as that seems to be a banter'ish word for a mate in Australia.
