Haha, you too? Yeah, they don't tell you before you sign up that it'll take a Masters and a PhD and about £20,000 before you can make anything of an anthropology degree.
Sophie, please! Don't! We have something special! Not my words, yours! We can't throw that all away just because I… spy on you. Can we?
Yeah, I wasn't trying to be snidey, sorry if it came across that way. The image of it just made me laugh. Lupin Addams above nailed it with his Crossroads reference. We can hardly take the idea of any Motel-based TV seriously anymore in this country.
It just made me laugh, the idea of people tuning in week after week just to get Norman and his Mum discussing pricing strategy, whether to advertise in the local paper, bedroom decor, etc.
This is probably the best place to direct anyone who missed it to David Brent's return for Comic Relief last week. The full sketch is on youtube and it's great,
'Maybe there’s room here for a story, for a workplace drama about opening a motel'
You're eating spaghetti…linguine…
Yes, it has a very good sport section and I like reading some of its columnists like Polly Toynbee and Andrew Rawnsley but most of the Comment is Free site has disappeared up its own backside. Still, 5 minutes on the Telegraph website is enough to temper any excess criticism I may have.
Well, if by wonderful you mean passable and if you use the word brilliant when you mean unexceptional, then yes, it is!
When this was first shown in the UK it was heralded by a large section of the media as a game changing piece of TV, original in its depiction of young women and the next cultural zeitgeist. God, The Guardian must have had two articles a day previewing/reviewing/analysing it and its impact. Then about 15 people watched…
Hey! I'm only the Doctor, I didn't make the needle sharp.
And how it's such a continuing preoccupation of his throughout the series.
Mega Tsunami!
Yeah, I commented on this on the 'Perfect Pop Culture' article. It's just a perfect episode. *SPOILER ALERT* Mark and Jez both seem to get their ultimate dream: Jez gets breakthrough music success; Mark gets what he really wants - a genuine friend. And it all goes down the toilet in the funniest way. Also, it's one of…
Yes, replace Run for you Life with We Can Work it Out then you have a perfect work.
I once read something which called their story the greatest folktale of the 20th Century and that's always stuck with me. It's such an outrageous story that no one could have made it up, yet it's as if someone has written the perfect epic movie script. It's bonkers. Also, try and imagine how the second half of the…
Outside of pop culture, King Lear is a standard for Tragedy which will never be approached and Henry IV Part One is perfect in every way.
Seinfeld - The Label Maker: It's not one of the more celebrated episodes but seriously, it's damned near perfect! The interweaving of the different plots is brilliant and it's the best Newman episode by far (and I love Newman).
Ahhh, now we're getting all serious and looking at UN health statistics? And I suppose you've been around examining all the teeth that are grown in the British Isles? Or maybe I was just trotting out some tired cliches and stupid stereotypes to go along with yours.
