EMERGENCY SYNC WATCH: Shadow In The Cloud (Tuesday 13 April, 8pm )

[VoR]

Her finger!

 

[Ellie]

This is so silly. I wish they’d show the creature but that would probably cost too much.

 

[cwej]

OMG THAT FINGER

 

[ButterTart]

Right, I'm starting this in a second so I'll be commenting on a 29 minute delay for maximum chaos.

 

[Ellie]

I don’t even think Meryl Streep could deliver this kind of dialogue.

 

[VoR]

I love how her broken arm from earlier is just UTTERLY FORGOTTEN at this point

 

[cwej]

At 40%... Chapter 4: Interlopers (like that double meaning in the title?)

Well the little fight at the start was fun. The dialogue really is some of the worst I've ever heard in my life.

I'm interested to find out what she's doing on the plane though.

When are all these awful people going to start dying?

 

[cwej]

I love how her broken arm from earlier is just UTTERLY FORGOTTEN at this point

Wasn't it fake? I thought it was there to hide her gun.

 

[cwej]

'They don't have the range'!!!!

 

[VoR]

I promise she will get out of the pod eventually...

 

[Ellie]

This “gremlin” just looks like a giant rat, like Splinter from TMNT.

 

[cwej]

At 50%... Chapter 5: Gremlin

So the full moon implies this is some kind of Werebat thing. Ugly fucker anyway. At least @Ellie gets to see it as requested.

I don't even know what to say. Speechless.

I have nothing.

 

[VoR]

WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE?

 

[Ellie]

WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE?

I feel like Brad Pitt in Se7en right now

 

[Ellie]

It’s a BABY?

 

[VoR]

The logistics of when she gestated and gave birth to this baby are utterly baffling

 

[cwej]

At 60%... CHAPTER 6: Baby On Board

'ARE WE CLEAR?' I mean... the acting really is appalling isn't it. I thought she was normally quite good herself (was she in the remake of Carrie? Or have I made that up?)

**Chokes back tears** This is worse than RUPAUL'S acting this week.

We're coming up to the end of the second act... and literally NOTHING has happened. :| I'm not sure I can ever take a suggestion from VOR ever again. It's not even campy fun like Humanoids From The Deep or something like that.

 

[Ellie]

What did they do to the baby?

 

[VoR]

THAT POOR FUCKING BABY

 

[VoR]

This is the moment the film became TRANSCENDENT for me.

 

[cwej]

This is the moment the film became TRANSCENDENT for me.

This is Moira Rose in The Crows Have Eyes.

 

[Ellie]

The soundtrack here is too much!

 

[Ellie]

Now the baby needs to turn into some kind of monster at this point.

 

[cwej]

The green screen is literally BASIC ZOOM LEVELS of terrible.

 

[cwej]

Was it literally filmed in lockdown?

 

[Ellie]

The green screen is literally BASIC ZOOM LEVELS of terrible.

I must say I’ve seen better green screen from the 1960s.

 

[VoR]

I can't stop laughing at this POOR BABY just getting FLUNG AROUND

 

[cwej]

I HOPE SHE FALLS.

 

[VoR]

SCREAM!

 

[Ellie]

Errr, HOW?

 

[cwej]

WTF!!!

 

[VoR]

I TOLD YOU

 

[cwej]

At 70%... CHAPTER 7: ALL KIND OF SHIT GOES DOWN

Well... those 8 minutes were fun. Shame we had to sit through the first 50 minutes first.I would never have made it that far if it wasn't for VOR's banging on about it.

 

[Ellie]

Is anyone actually flying the plane now?

 

[cwej]

Good ketchup work there.

 

[Ellie]

She appears to have lost her accent completely now.

 

[cwej]

The co-pilot is sat RIGHT NEXT TO THE CAPTAIN and she has to explain to him he's dead?

 

[cwej]

She appears to have lost her accent completely now.

I thought that was the point. She's out as American now.

Or have I misunderstood something.,

 

[Ellie]

I thought that was the point. She's out as American now.

Aahhh. It’s a complicated “plot”.

 

[VoR]

I love how cwej is picking up on the important plot subtleties that are completely lost on me and Ellie.
