In keeping with the thread, the last movie i watched was
Life Is Beautiful.
I've always just watched it the way it was intended with English subtitles, but this time i watched the English dubbed version and the message holds up surprisingly well despite a couple of the characters sounding like English aristocrats.
Yeah they are what 50 minute episodes yeh? Keep going tho, you wont be disappointed. I will definitely one day get the whole series on dvd... maybe santa might get me one for xmas.
Yep, a full 50 minutes and it's such a powerful show that i can't really stop and start it so lately i've rarely had time to watch an episode during the week.
The DVD's are well worth owning, whether you get the R4 box or the amazing R1 box.
Oh and UK Office > US. See the UK one if you havent already.
Oh, i've seen the UK 'The Office', over and over.
It's one of my all-time favourite shows and one that doesn't age, and whilst i was initially resistant to the idea of an American version (as i believed they'd dumb it down thus ruining the entire concept), when i found out the awesome Greg Daniels was going to handle it, i begrudgingly gave it a chance and now i can't get enough of it.
It'll never surpass the original Gervais/Merchant version but it stands up on it's own as a quality, well-written and acted comedy (and as much as i adored Mackenzie Crook's 'Gareth' character, Rainn Wilson's 'Dwight K. Schrute' is actually a better, more developed and well-rounded character).
Having said all that, i'll never forget some of Gareth's memorable rants, most especially the
'Do you like curry?' line to the girl in the club and the
'Oh, Mark Paxon sir, he's got knobrot off some tart' line from his rant about letting women into the army.
