To be fair, it isn't Adam's only stereotype.

I'm torn as to which is best… You Haven't Done Nothing is really funky and uses brooms as a major instrument, but Misstra Know It All has that great "oh no, here he comes … BAH DOO BA DA DOO DAAA" bit.
I remember a few months back on the Daily Show, an electoral historian was saying that in ye olde days, Presidential candidates would have these specially written jaunty songs to try and sway the populous.
Fred Bassett and co. could do with a violent home invasion to knock some of that smugness out of them.
Quirk, it was Alex Proyas who fucked up I Robot.
In fairness to Proyas (whose Dark City was two-thirds an interesting movie), I Robot reeks of studio interference, and not just in the horrible product placement.
It seems clear that the studio were insistent that if they were going to shell out for futuristic special…
Oh Sugar Tits, stop fawning. You're just embarrasing yourself.
There's a lot of clunkiness in Titanic, but for me its high points far outweigh the low. Flawed to hell, but still a pretty huge achievement.
Velcro Girl, I think it was on More 4. They have a bad habit of sneaking out documentaries when you don't expect them and with no fanfare (the Polanski doc was on only about 2 months after its cinema release).
Velcro Girl, yeah, Wossy's back next week or something.
I don't particularly care for him, and have a habit of forwarding through his Film show just to see if there's anything of interest.
I don't remember why Moon was on… they must've been shooting it at Pinewood or something.
Sugar Tits, I'm glad it all worked out for you. I'm assuming you live in that circular Frank Lloyd Wright house (y'know the one that hangs over the cliff) and luxuriate in an egg chair with a glass of congac each evening?
Can I just ask, does Jensen Ackles actually have 3 dimesions? Or does he just read as flat?
It's perhaps worth noting that in the body-swap episode Bucky mentions, the villains who have hijacked Steed and Mrs Peel's bodies are pretty much going at it like bunnies… so certainly their bodies had sex, even if their minds were elsewhere.
Keith makes a fair point about the show's pace being a little slow (though only by today's standards; not by those of its contemporaries), but it was a whole lot of fun, and marvelously inventive, week on week.
They usually had good premises and nice twists, and for once, the directors and set designers and musicians…
Sugar Tits, why do I suspect that you're not the only person on the internet with an Emma-Peel-in-leather doll. Of course, yours probably wasn't life sized and you didn't do unsanitary things with it.
THRILLER IN MANILLA
This was on British TV a couple of months back.
I liked it; it's a much grubbier, more cynical affair than "When We Were Kings".
It's obviously not an anti-boxing movie, but I think it does question the lengths these men went to.
SPOILING THE MOON
I won't give any spoilers here, but Noel, the plot development in Moon was given away by Film 2008 (a UK film show) when they visited the set a few months back. It would seem that the makers aren't attempting to hide it, so it'll probably wind up in the trailer.
I saw a trailer for Transsiberrian and it looked pretty good (but then I've always liked the idea of thrillers on a train, and I'm still waiting for a definitive one) but it's sorta disappeared into the ether, so who knows when we'll get it in the UK.
The stand-alone episodes are generally the poorest (I don't know if Moore ever actually intended to have them… I think it was the Sci fi channel that wanted more of them), but even so, I'm struggling to think of a single episode that absolutely stank… which is surely, at the very least, a record for a science fiction…
In the UK, 88 Minutes and Righteous Kill were released one week after the other. Maybe one was looking to bask in the critical glow of the other?
I've said it before; I'll say it again…
