Sam McMurray is one of those guys, like Christopher McDonald and Geoff Pierson, who always seems to turn up as an amusing asshole in films and shows.

I just sent him an iMessage. He says he did it "for a laugh", and anyone that has a problem with it can "suck it". Not very regal, if you ask me.

Yeah I thought those effects sucked, but we have got half a year until release so maybe they'll polish them up.

As I mentioned above I thought he was speaking with a German or Russian accent, so as soon as I recralibrated my brain to accept that I was able to decipher what he was saying quite comfortably.

Yeah, I agree. O'Neal and others have suggested that Hardy is speaking in a variation on his native English accent, but as an Englishman it's clear to me that he isn't. He seems to be speaking something akin to a German or perhaps Russian accent.

No, that's Fox.

I was referring to The Killing. It's true both shows went downhill, but Walking Dead went from great to merely good, whereas The Killing went from good to "oh Christ, my eyes, my eyes!!!!"

Sequel - sweet. TV spin-off - yeah, OK, maybe. American remake - why, God, why?

Yeah, I agree. For example there is/was absolutely no point remaking Free Agents and The Inbetweeners when both originals can be seen on BBC America.

Yeah, that number is based off the pilot, which was actually pretty darn good. Shame the rest of it was such atrocious crap.

I agree with Belgand, but it's unlikely a network that prides itself on its original programming would show a five year old UK show, when they could remake it as a 'new' prestige drama.

Low Winter Sun was fucking great. They'd do well to cast Mark Strong in the role he played in the UK version.

That little bastard died over a decade ago.

"…and the Emmy goes to…Fred Durst". Cut to Louis CK vomiting in disgust.

He may be in a crappy band and be a walking punchline, but he's a millionaire who still bangs models. I'm sure his life's just fine.

What would force your head to explode most: 1) it being the utter piece of shit it's destined to be, or 2) it turning out to be a Louie level piece of hilarious art?

I wonder if his grumpy next door neighbour will be played by Trent Reznor?

No, I think Jason Bateman being bemused by something is the new "In a world…".

This would be awesome anyway, but with NIN over the top…sublime.

This is just pop music for hicks, right?
