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.

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 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.
