That guy with the gray hair on the panel (on 10 o clock) was he an Apprentice candidate or am I mad? If not I really need to know where I recognise him from. Edit: They finally showed his name and I googled it. Yep, he was on The Apprentice WaffleACAB fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Apr 14, 2011 |

boner meter posted:A main character just threatened rape for comic effect. I thought it was more of a warning than a threat but whatever. Edit: I quite liked that, it was dark and surprising in places. I'll be watching the next episode, that first one wasn't pure gold like the first episode of Peep Show for example but it is going places I think.

I really like Luther but the writing is atrocious sometimes. I watched in last night in a quite a state so I can't remember any specifics but the dialogue seems clunky sometimes, maybe it's just because Gray and the hooker can't act, Ripley is pretty bad too. I missed Alice and Paul McGann in this one. Idris is great though, I don't even think about Stringer Bell when Luther's on, great characterisation. Fake Edit: That scene in the church was terrible dialogue-wise.

Luther was pretty good, don't want to be a dick but I miss the first series. People like Vorenus' wife, that one Doctor and Jewel Diamond. Stringer Bell owns still but everyone else sucks apart from the villains and that Kamp from Octopussy.

I just want to know where he got the key for that bike lock in episode 2 (series 1), I'm pretty sure it came out of nowhere. The other general plothole-y thing is that Luther often jsut suddenly decides he knows that so-and-so is the killer without any real evidence or reason to to lead him to that person.

spincube posted:Well, I've just watched through this and I think I'm going to go stare at the wall for a few minutes. That last sequence of events at the '73 Grand Prix is loving heartbreaking. Just finished it myself. loving insane, everytime one of those cars went up in the footage I let out a "jesus loving christ!" or two. It was especially telling when that driver said that Chapman said to him "I don't want to get too attached to you" or something to that effect. That final crash footage was absolutely awful, good on Purley but ugh it was heartbreaking seeing him try to push that car back over all by himself.

I thought the experiment this week was a bit wanky but I do feel like a bit of an idiot for not seeing the end come from right from the start. It was interesting that I was moaning about the audience about half way through, as an individual I didn't want him to get arrested, partly because I thought he'd had enough but also because more annoying things could happen to him over the night, if I were in the situation once I get arrested and I lose my job in a weird phonecall where my colleague isn't even crying- I'd think something was up. (but you could say that's not really the point of the program but we were watching it for like 40 mins) Also don't they fire people on fridays usually? It was a laugh and it was nice to see the audience looking like dickheads when they took their masks off. But the last one was better and hopefully next week's will be. Just caught Would I Lie to You on iplayer and I think it's been the best BBC comedy gameshow for a while now, this week's is great - Dara O'Brien, Sue Perkins, Barry Cryer and Lorraine Kelly. Brilliant combination of panelists and Mitchell, Mack and Brydon are magic anyway. Edit: Why haven't they copied this in America? there's points and best liars of the week, they'd love it.

I thought tonight's Life's Too Short was absolutely brilliant. Best thing Ricky Gervais has ever done imo. Warwick Davis owns, the results of the youtube comments and the extras bit were awful (in a good way). I like how this show is just Extras but centred around the complete humiliation of the Warwick Davis character. It's nasty as hell but I like it.

I'm sure this is not a popular opinion, but I for one, am really going to miss How Not to Live Your Life. The last episode was on last night, it was an hour long christmas special that tied up the series really nicely. The show as a whole wasn't big, clever or even particularly funny most of the time, but I enjoyed it more than any other bbc3 show (though that is not a difficult achievement). David Armand is great and needs to get more work (remember him as the rejected rainbow rhythms dancer in peep show?). Thank god that Laura Haddock seems to be blowing up somewhat because I don't think I could take not seeing her on screen again, she is just breathtaking (although I do think she looked too skinny in The Inbetweeners Movie). I can't imagine Dan Clark on someone else's show (never saw that comedy showcase show he was involved in), but I hope he finds something else as well because there were some spots of brilliance in his writing and I still cared about Don even though he was a complete bellend. Anyway, are there any other goons who felt even a little bit the same about this odd little show? Fake edit: (could(I(use(any(more(brackets? ugh))))))

I love David Mitchell as much as the next person but on WILTY he generally just does his incredulous-questioning schtick, it's Lee Mack's jibes and quips that elevate the *shudder* banter (also Brydon to spur them both on). It's basically HIGNFY 2.0 in terms of its dynamic, best thing that ever happened to both shows was getting rid of Angus hah.

Handsome Dead posted:Fixed. Seriously, I don't know what anyone could see in that film. Watch it again, there's loads of foreshadowing and little bits you can pick up on. Ultimately it's not all up there on screen for you. I thought Kill List was the best British film since In Bruges (and that includes Attack The Block).

Burn MTV and/or America to the ground, salt the earth. It looks like they've already filmed the entire series from the variety of clips, how did anyone let that past the first scene.

The great thing about the original was that it was almost as filthy, language- and concept-wise, as being that age was. If it's on MTV they can't have any of that can they? Also it looks like they lifted almost everything else they could straight from the original so it's probably not going to be relatable to American audiences. That plus the lack of filth doesn't leave much at all. Fake edit turned real edit: It seems like the Will character will not work because he doesn't look like enough of a dweeb. A major aspect of the character is that he's a posh twat in a state school, which doesn't translate directly to American culture. Intbetweeners was basically Mark Corrigan's time at sixth form, there was a reason the US Peep Show never saw the light of day, I don't know why they thought this remake would work.

Matt Allwright getting piss thrown on him, is there any sweeter sight? Fake turned real Edit: Also I like Jack Whitehall in Bad Education and Fresh Meat. David Mitchell owns in Peep Show and WILTY and to a slightly lesser degree on panel shows, he sucks on Soapbox and 10 o clock. I prefer the character of Jeremy Usbourne to real life Robert Webb, Webb seems like a self-righteous dick.

britishbornandbread posted:I am 25 and I hope to live another fifty or so years, with good health, and I will go to that grave still enjoying the entrapment of cowboy builders on Watchdog. It's when they won't let them close their car doors and interview with them arsey questions that delights me. There's something about a public school boy taunting tradesmen that I don't like, also his general smug-cuntery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwSH-hX0yJw The actual show Cowboy Builders is much more preferable, mainly because Dom Littlewood clearly wants to be saying "fahkin liberties" all the time and I do it for him while I'm watching (it's a lot of fun).

It's mainly the  but even without the class stuff, it's a guy who's never done a trade dressing tradesmen down, even though they generally are crooks, gently caress Allwright still. Now mind, I'm trying to find out if Dom Littlewood has ever been a builder but finding out anything before his TV career is pretty difficult (I should be asleep). Edit: Just a quick analogy, it's like if Kitchen Nightmares was done by Tim Lovejoy. WaffleACAB fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Oct 12, 2012 |

Escobarbarian posted:The OA is a great show and although I didn’t watch it for years specifically because of how stupid that scene is out of context when you actually get it it at the end of the season it’s……genuinely extremely powerful and affecting? Kind of remarkable, really. And then season 2 is even better and nuttier. Me too, I really enjoyed the first season (and loved the second) and then was like wtf at that last scene [of the first season], but since then I've grown to appreciate the weirdness of it. That first season reminded me massively of K-PAX, which was a good thing.

Comrade Fakename posted:A friend of mine told me that his teenage niece was watching a TikTok video that included the rap that Louis Theroux did on one of his Weird Weekends on hip hop back in the 90s. It's actually a rendition of the rap that he did on Chicken Shop Date a few months ago. They've made it into an actual single now I believe. I assume he's getting royalties for it but been wondering if Amelia (CSD host, has the first line of the sample) is getting some too? Edit: Listened to the actual song now and they cut Amelia out lmao. You don't get paid for being in a TikTok sound do you?
