Everywhere online now, every movie, every home video, has been passed through so many filters that people don’t look human any more. Nobody has any lines in their face, their teeth are florescent white, their eyes are filled in and have no veins. Nobody ever looks tired, or natural. Add to the mix the fact that everyone is getting lip implants to look like a blowfish, and I’m just tired of it. I miss seeing real human beings.
QI (if you like Stephen Fry, British humour, and learning random facts). Most of the guests are pretty “normal people” looking. Except when Victoria Coren Mitchell is on. She always look fabulous.
The Gentlemen is pretty good. The movie or the show. Fuck, anything by Guy Ritchie. He’s good at showing the dirty edges of things as well as the pretty.
Eh, didn’t really like it.
Props to Guy for pretty much sticking to the same exact formula for 25 years though.

Snatch, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are the highlights.
Peep Show if you’re into humour as dry as sandpaper. It definitely has peopley people.
I liked Plebs, The IT Crowd and Peep Show, all comedy and not too recent.
Not who you’re asking but watch Forbrydelsen, it’s great and everyone on it is real looking.
Some old ones to add (and some have Hollywood remakes now) BUT:
- Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- Let the Right One In
- Troll
… Just now realizing I lean heavily toward darker subject matter for foreign movies…
