A couple of days ago John downloaded three or four films for me to watch over the next few days. To be honest I had never heard of any of them, but J seemed to think they were worth checking out. I just watched one, called M3gan, and I must admit it was an amusing couple of hours. On the face of it I think it was supposed to be a horror film about a robotic toy doll which comes to life and turns into an evil psychopath, but there were points at which I couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Not only is the entire premise of the film absurd, but watching this 1.5m tall doll marching around killing people in the most grotesque ways simply made me laugh out loud. I wouldn’t say I regret watching it, especially on a cold, grey afternoon, but it baffles me that such bollocks is being made.
