Hmmm not really - I couldn't get over the fact that they were just (rather limply) tossing records across the garden.

I might have missed that this was a parody of something, though - because a lot of folk go on about it like it's hilarious.

:confused:

not a parody - just the choices were funny ..

i think the one they decided to throw was the Batman soundtrack - one of those albums everyone has and nobody ever plays ..


i think there is a lot to what you said about the novelty to the NA audiences though - and its a good reason for us to like them .. i dont know the TV shows you're comparing them to so it still seems fresh and funny to us ..

its like you liking Miami Vice ..hard for me to get my head around ..

its also why I got turned onto the new black filmakers when Lee and Singleton etc came on the scene .. it was fresh and new at the time... a novel approach - and a much needed change ... same with the asian horror films ...
maybe they feel the same way about their films as you do re. the UK flicks ...

I saw shaun of the dead and thought it was rather stupid. I dont laugh at much though. Even if its a really good comedy, I still dont usually laugh much. somethings wrong with me, I must be sick

Same here. I didn't think Shaun of the Dead was THAT amazing. It was alright. Didn't laugh much either, twice or so. I prefer other horror comedies.

I know what you mean - I guess familiarity and maybe cynicism play a part in that. But sit me down in from of Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock or Airplane! and I'll split my sides.

I think it's new concepts that are important to me now, not just different approaches. Miami Vice was as fresh to me as a kid as discovering Italian and Japanese horror. But frankly I'm bored of them all now.

It's good that films like The Blair Witch Project, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting come along every once and a while to make you sit up and take notice again - and rethink your attraction to cinema. Unfortunately, only one of these is a horror film.

hey, trainspotting is close. I'll watch anythign by Boyd, i like his style. I love 28 days later.

Hmmm I think the wheels fell off Danny Boyle's wagon right after Trainspotting, with the bizarre A Life Less Ordinary and derivative 28 Days Later.

I have a certain fondness for The Beach however, and have yet to see Millions.

Millions is well worth a look ..


jesus he did Life Less Ordinary ?
that was a jerky uneven mess ..

No offense but Americans dont understand our humour, or at least have the same type of humour...the closest to our type of humour you come to is "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but even that is way over the top in our opinions.

It's just because we are two different countries.

canadians do - if you've been exposed to it long enough ..


actually - other than very topical political or personal references - i dont understand why anyone wouldnt understand the UK humor ..

anyone with a brain that is ...
