I was fairly excited for This Is England 86 until they started showing actual bits from the show, at which point I realised it's probably going to be Shameless: 1986 and lost all interest in it.

There are two words that almost instantly help me decide that I don't want to watch a given documentary; "Cutting Edge."

The voice of that guy in '86 was hilarious. He was like Peter Serafinowicz in Spaced. "I'm not a monster, Shaun." And Shaun should really know that you shouldn't run with a head wound. Silly boy.

I don't know the answer but just so you know it's not actually made by the BBC.

Yeah this Derren Brown thing is just too much, it's not believable at all by this point. Once you learn that he fakes certain stuff for dramatic effect it completely taints everything he does like this and it becomes kind of obvious. Unless this is some sort of thing like the gambling thing where it turns out he's filmed 2000 people then I just can't believe it.

Does anyone else feel like the end of this Derren Brown thing was like The Game? Much more tame, though, obviously.

Huh. This morning, out of nowhere, I had the theme from Game On start up in my head (Where I Find My Heaven.) I haven't seen it since the first run and didn't particularly like the song, but there it was! I remember kind of liking it, and I vaguely remember a bit with Samantha Janus (the aforementioned hot chick) breaking a sink by sitting on it while trying to pee. And the episode with the agoraphobic dude joining a band and crying through the set because he was outside of his flat, while people lapped it up. That was pretty funny.

Ronnie posted:acts all smug on small time radio station gets defensive when the host tries to bring him back down to reality. If that town literally is the most unhealthy in America then they have no right to be so defensive about somebody trying to change things, especially since a lot of it is framed with "well this is UHMERIKA!" like whenever somebody would say "Oh right well I suppose the UK is perfect" and Jaime would say "Well, no, obesity is a big problem there, too." The program was rubbish in it's presentation and all of that, though. It seems like it's made for US TV with American narration and all the trappings of the lovely US-versions of UK shows like Supernanny and Kitchen Nightmares, like the constant lovely music that's supposed to be dramatic (OH MY GOD SOMETHING SHOCKING/SICKENING IS HAPPENING) or emooootional (oh this is so sad! ) and Jamie isn't anywhere near likable enough for this sort of thing. But he genuinely did make a difference here so let's not get ahead of ourselves with the inevitable "Jaime Oliver's a oval office therefore everything he does is worthless" poo poo.

justcola posted:This is england was better than last week. I still don't really get what direction the show wants to take, but it's entertaining. Still holding out that combo turns up and ruins everybodies poo poo. My main problem with This Is England '86 is that the ad breaks totally ruin the pacing. Just before the first episode came on the continuity guy said it was going to run "straight through" without ads, so I was like "gently caress yes!" but then there was an ad break after 10 minutes and I realised he meant between Big Brother ending and This Is England '86 starting.

So are we supposed to think they actually did get high off one toke, or that they're just being morons and pretending the act high? I wasn't sure. Wait, no, that girls vomit was from ILLEGAL DRUGS so I guess were supposed to think that they were really high. Shame cannabis doesn't work that way I guess.

She should've stuck to her guns and left him, he's a colossal selfish prick. I don't understand why she came round in the end. If that was a film she'd have realized she'd actually loved his best friend, who knew her better than the groom did, all along. Then they'd get married in a stately manor.

I couldn't find it cringeworthy because it was so contrived; it just felt entirely manufactured for comedy and not really true at all, And I spend the entire running time of most episodes curled up in an awkward ball as they make tits out of themselves.

If you went back and paid attention I wonder how many times Will has given Simon the clearly better advice only for him to listen to Jay and/or Neil. I mean they all clearly know poo poo all about sex (except maybe Neil since he seems to get a lot of action) but Will gives the grown up advice and nobody ever listens. Poor Will. The poo poo Simon believes, though! It was funny, but I know a lot of people here are like "yeah I knew someone who said poo poo like that in college" but that was literally the kind of crap one of my friends would say in primary school. By even high school I'd imagine most people have wised up enough to think "or your bum" would not be a prudent thing to say. But then that's why it's funny, I guess. Neil's distress at pissing the bed was probably my favourite part. "I have a problem with that!"

It was pretty interesting but when the good guys blew up some dude's family and went to say sorry and offer some money, one of the marines kept saying "It's the absolute least we can do" over and over again. He did not understand what that phrase means, and I hope the translator realised this. What a lovely thing to say to someone who just got their entire family exploded.

LE0N posted:That, in my opinion is the best thing about him though. His hilariously dodgy past, just allows him to go "well ive been there" and no-one bats an eye. I don't get the hate because we can all say "oh he is picking on scummy gutter-snipes" but when we all see them in the street we think exactly the same thing, he just says it. To their faces. Contrary to what supercool Internet cynics think, the pursuit and acquisition of money at the expense of others isn't commendable, and if you think it is you're a cock.

I guess nobody else watches this Jamie Oliver show but it's pretty eye opening. Education health authority folks made them go back to sugar filled chocolate/strawberry milk (rather than regular old milk) at an elementary school because the kids are more likely to drink it (and get some calcium.) No poo poo. They might be the same folks that mandated that every meal have two portions of bread. For primary school kids.
