Looking back into the Black Mirror
Some exciting news popping up today courtesy of an exclusive report at VARIETY..
After a long hiatus, and rumors that the Netflix show Black Mirror was gone for good, it appears that more is in store with a third season..

NETFLIX AND CANCEL: MUST NOT SEE TV
Netflix shares crater 25% after company reports it lost subscribers for the first time in more than 10 years
Will do go to ad-based service?!
Shares of Netflix cratered more than 25% on Tuesday after the company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers during the first quarter. The service is now proposing introducing adverts and stopping password sharing to stem the exodus..
MORE.. The drop also stemmed in part from its decision to withdraw from Russia to protest the war against Ukraine, resulting in a loss of 700,000 subscribers. The company has now started testing different ways of curbing password sharing in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru – and could extend this elsewhere if it proves successful. They are also considering turning the service into a low-fee subscription supported by ads.

Yes that indeed was a disgusting scene in Brand New Cherry Flavor
A lot of attention is suddenly being paid to the Netflix show. It began when a TikTok user told followers to watch the part in episode 4..
We did too.
We won’t forget it for all the wrong reasons..
Media attention has now been placed on the scene.. it even made a splash headline on the Drudge Report today..
Spoiler alert here in case you’ll want to view it yourself, but this is what happens:
In episode four the moment which “scarred people for life” sees Lisa invite her lover Roy over, but before he arrives she gets a wound on her stomach and another kitten pops out of it.
Undeterred by the kitten-producing gash across Lisa’s stomach, Roy sticks his whole hand right in there and they both get very turned on. So much so he throws her on the bed and have what then looks like fairly normal consensual sex, considering the foreplay.
Now you know if you didn’t already..

He-Man back to Netflix November 23
It is unknown if Kevin Smith’s He-Man Revelation series will get a second season, but the second half to the first season premieres November 23rd 2021..
For better or worse…
The first five episodes were somewhat controversial among fans—both new and old. A number of people felt that the Kevin Smith re imagining took the series far distant from where the 1980s show started..
But in fairness he wanted to do that.. 
There were rumors and accusations that Kevin Smith was “woke“ in the series, some thing he vehemently denied in a number of videos on his own social media accounts…
The main beef that anyone appeared to have was how He-Man was pushed aside during the first five episodes.
The toy line for Revelations doesn’t seem to be doing so hot when compared to the new for 2020 and 2021 toys of the original He-Man toy line..
Previews indicate that the next several episodes to conclude season one will bring he-man back in some heroic battle. At least that’s what the trailers would make it appear, we will know for sure within hours when Netflix drops the final five…

COMIC CON REVELATION: David Harbour was told “Sorry man, they’re trying to bury it.’ It was clearly a terrible show” on Stranger Things
And what a mistake it would have been for the streaming service if that is close to true!
The words came from actor David Harbour at COMIC CON in New York..
Some headlines of course may be a little more animated than necessary.. this was small town from the actor and an interesting story. Netflix probably was not really going to bury the show..
x x x
While appearing at a panel during New York Comic Con on Saturday, the Black Widow actor said he was going to “throw Paul Wesley under the bus” with a revelation from one of their past conversations.
“So about two weeks before the show I was like, ‘There’s still no ads, man, like buses and phone, there’s no ads,’ and he [Paul] was like, ‘Sorry man, they’re trying to bury it.’ It was clearly a terrible show,” Harbour revealed to NYCC attendees.
After that conversation with The Vampire Diaries star, Harbour told the audience a sense of panic started to set in.
“I was like, ‘Oh no, man. I blew it. I had like one of the leads on a Netflix show, and I blew it, we all blew it,’” recalled Harbour.
“I think one of the things that people love about it, and it’s so hard to have in today’s culture, is you discovered it,” said Harbour. “I mean, like, you didn’t hear much about it, and you just sort of were playing around on Netflix and … people were like, ‘Oh this looks kind of good,’ and there was a sense of discovery about it. That was brilliant.”
“I mean, the funny thing about us is that the whole thing has changed so much, right? And yet when we get together on set, it’s like the first day of the first season, where they’re afraid of me because I’m an angry New York actor, and they’re little kids,” Harbour told the crowd. “So that has been preserved.”
“And I think we all have that relationship where we’ve been [through] so much that when we get on set together, it still feels like day one. It still feels very creative,” he continued. “The hoopla around us when we step off that stage is insane … but for those kids … what I do like is that they are grounded enough to be [the same] when we are on set working on the show.”
“Everybody loves the show still,” Harbour added. “We love the creators and we love our characters, and we love each other and we feel like a family. We could have big special effects and all that stuff, but we’d miss that thing that to me is really what the show is about. So that’s very much preserved.”
Perhaps if the show was named something else, Netflix however would have buried it.. David Harbour, who signed to play Hopper when the show was going to be called Montauk, initially hated the new title Stranger Things and begged the Duffers to change it.

Cutting down the Happy Trees
A new Netflix documentary said to hit August 25 pretends to show a darker life in the forest, as the happy trees get knocked down. The doc will focus on the life of Bob Ross, and while the trailer and the network offer a very little clues as to the subject matter, pretends to portray a “darker” backstory to the famous painter..
The documentary will likely explore the fate of Bob Ross, Inc., which is now run by the daughter of Annette and Walt Kowalski, Ross’ former business partners, according to The Daily Beast.
Although Ross left the rights to his name and likeness to his son Steve and half-brother Jimmie Cox, the Kowalskis argued that everything Ross did in his career was work-for-hire, and he had no right to bequeath that.
The Kowalskis eventually won the lawsuit..
Although the trailer doesn’t offer any other clues, Netflix’s description of the documentary reads: “Bob Ross brought joy to millions as the world’s most famous art instructor. But a battle for his business empire cast a shadow over his happy trees.”
There have been some monumentally huge journalistic reports over the past 10 years on the infighting post death. Ross died back in the 1990s of lymphoma at 52. His legend however has lived on forever because of PBS painting shows that aired through the early 2000s, and a resurgence of pop cultural memorabilia and products that generation Z has eaten up because of an addiction to anything ASMR..
Will this documentary ruin it all?
The joy of painting will continue for me..
It’s my own products to prove it:

The limited thriller series “Clickbait” is coming to Netflix globally on August 25.. The official press release has it billed as “a compelling, high stakes thriller that explores the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media.”

One of the best shows series on Netflix has been BACK MIRROR.
Hopefully this series has the same feel and works on that same high level..
Netflix details, “An eight-episode limited series told from revolving points of view, Clickbait is a compelling, high stakes thriller that explores the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media, revealing the ever-widening fractures we find between our virtual and real-life personas.”
This is the synopsis:
“Nick Brewer (Adrian Grenier) is a loving father, husband, and brother, who one day suddenly and mysteriously disappears. A video appears on the internet of the badly beaten Nick holding a card that says “I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die”. Is this a threat or confession? Or both? As his sister (Zoe Kazan) and wife (Betty Gabriel) rush to find and save him, they uncover a side of Nick they didn’t know existed.”
Here is the very interesting trailer:
