  • BLACK MIRROR to get a United States adaptation..

    ….and with that, the helium was just let out of my balloon..

    I am not a big fan of UNITED STATES versions of amazingly great shows.. There is something so fresh and deeply inventive, disturbing, and scary about the BLACK MIRROR shows I have seen..

    There actually not been enough of them in my opinion.. and quite frankly each one could be a must see three hour film, in my opinion..

    Here is the news, as reported in major trade publications tonight: BLACK MIRROR faces a US adaptation..

    Paul Harris writes this in a VARIETY report:

    A U.S. rendition of “Black Mirror,” the British sci-fi series that has been a buzzy hit for Netflix, is in the works, the new leaders of Endemol Shine North America said Wednesday at the Real Screen confab.

    The keynote session at the Washington Hilton marked the first major public appearance by Cris Abrego and Charlie Corwin since they were tapped co-CEOs and co-chairmen of Endemol Shine North America.

    Corwin confirmed that “there is a plan” regarding a U.S. version of the “Twilight Zone”-esque series created by Charlie Brooker and produced by Annabel Jones for Endemol U.K. He declined to elaborate other than to say that Brooker and Jones “have really touched on something and I agree – we need more.”

    There are other shows that may get some US versions.. You can find those more in that Harris report in VARIETY.. my focus was clearly and solely on BLACK MIRROR.

    I have not done any official reviews of the programs for this website, but certainly should. There is something compelling and additive about each one of them, and when one program is over you’re leave searching for more.. yearning for just another half hour, or longer..

    BLACK MIRROR is heralded as the TWILIGHT ZONE of our age. I think that’s accurate and I can’t add more than the praise already showered by so many on this series..

    I just don’t trust any US version of it.. But certainly will give it a try to see how it holds up compared to the original series from Brit land..

    In the mean time, NETFLIX if your best bet if you actually want to catch some episodes. Hold your nose for the first one, but be amazed by it as well.. and each one thereafter..

    ‘Honey Boo Boo’ daughter: I was a molestation victim of the sex offender my mother is allegedly dating »

    ‘Honey Boo Boo’ daughter: I was a molestation victim of the sex offender my mother is allegedly dating . Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star June “Mama June” Shannon’s 20-year-old daughter Anna “Chickadee” Shannon Cardwell has revealed she was allegedly an 8-year-old molestation victim of Mark McDaniel, the recently-released convicted sex offender her mother has reportedly been dating despite her denials.

    A very dark side of reality television is rearing its ugly head..

    The amount of perversion that takes place to the youngest and most innocent of victims is deplorable—those victims are often offered up on the silver platter of fame and fortune. So often those false blessings turn into revolt and misfortune as the money dwindles and the spotlight glare of entertainment reality television is turned off, and the real unscripted reality sets in.

    The most recent of these types of events comes as HONEY BOO BOO’s Momma June is back with a molester..

    TLC dropped teh shoiw.

    Now the oldest daughter says she was a victim.

    All of this after years of ‘skettis’ and comical GIFs online.

    The real story is tragic.
    I always felt the entire cast of the various reality TV shows were tragic in a sense. Used and abused for cheap dollars but high advertising yields by corporations and cons.. The contracts are voluminous. Teen moms and all the like, HONEY BOO BOO as well. They work for cheap.. Much less compared to last century’s nighttime TV stars. These people are ‘real’ after all—or as real as we are permitted to see. There’s still scripts.. cameras.. crews.. and marketing firms. What we see is now what we get.. what we get is not real at all..

    But, as we have seen for about 14 years now, people eat this up. And the constant diet of garbage is happily fed to the masses of asses by the grand schemers .. It’s an easy target audience: Everyone. The product? The worst stuff on earth..

    Now HONEY BOO BOO’s life will change.. the scandal will continue, and undoubtedly the family that ate up fame as much as lard will ask for privacy.

    Too late..

    Their lives will now unfold in the public realm.. while the television production closes.

    The devil’s in the details. Sell your soul? Get the horns..
