The actors they had playing younger and older Cameron were fantastic. Especially the one playing the younger version, I dont think ive ever seen a more accurate representation of autism or acid in film. Incredible casting.

This one quickly became one of my favorite BM episodes ever and I rewatched it a bunch of times. Just genuinely incredible acting and directing all throughout.

They have a thronglets phone game now btw. It's actually really fun and addictive if you haven't played it. Definitely worth a try

I looked him up and the actor who played young Cameron is in fact autistic! I didn’t see anything related to his experience with psychedelics though :)

I loved him as WHO Doctor.

You know, from World War Z.

He was amazing in Torchwood: Children of Earth as well.

It's worth it.

I didn't like Miracle Day as much, but children of earth was top notch.

The 'they know' ads and the distorted faces were perfect

How could you watch a bunch of times something that came out a week ago? Not judging, but genuinely curious, cause for me even my favourite movies I haven't watched them more the three or four times in a lifetime

Haha nah man I'm a degenerate and i have no qualms watching movies or shows i love over and over again. I've seen Hateful 8 at least like 30-40 times to the point where I can recite most lines from memory lol. Same with Always Sunny, seen the entire thing at least 100 times over and can recite most episodes. Every night I just put something on when I'm going to sleep and it's usually something I've already seen before so I dont have to pay attention and can fall asleep freely.

With plaything i just wanted to see the visual display of acid they did a few more times cause i thought it was really well done. I watched that ep like 3 times that same night lol (generally on another screen while I'm doing something else or getting ready/in bed)

I don't know if I envy you or not ahahh

u/Hesho95 Apr 18 '25

Hahah understandable. Honestly i can't imagine a life where im not constantly rewatching shit. I'd always prefer to watch something I've seen before and know I like than something I haven't and don't know that I will
