Are you threatening me, Grim!? What have I ever done to you!?!?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 30 Mar 2009, 18:08

No, no! I'm not threatening you at all!

It sounded like you were threatening me, Grim

"I get ya!" sounds like a threat to me...

You evil, sadistic, cruel, puppy-kicking, hamster-snacking bastard you....

Grim, threaten someone, WTF! Nope, not possible.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 30 Mar 2009, 18:33

Anyway, obviously I've notified the authorities and they said they'll do whatever they can...

Brad,

Yi I mean "I get ya" as in "I understand", I thought the Diutch spoke perfect English?!

The 'Diutch'!?!?

The DIUTCH!??!?!?

Threatening wasn't enough!? Now you're going to be insulting me as well. You sadistic cruel seal-clobbering bastard!

D'oh! Typo!
No offence meant

Oh, Grim, learn some sarcasm

Shetty in talks for 'EastEnders' role:

Did anyone else see last nights episode? It was quite an episode. I wanted Danielle and Ronnie to finally be together but the ending was an obvious one. Boy they strung it out.

Absolutely terrific.

Why is it that some horrible shows are allowed to run for many MANY seasons, and great shows like these get ended prematurely!?

I said here a while back Deadwood was the best show on television. A show like that should've lasted years.

Yeah, it seems all the best shows get 'cancelled' prematurely (Newsradio, Deadwood, Dead like Me, etc).

Just watched episode 5 (season 1) and it wasn't as great as the other episodes (nothing really interesting/big happens), but still very good.

I especially LOVE the acting of Timothy Olyphant (Seth), Brad Douriff (Doc), and Ian McShane (Al).
It's very nice to see Douriff again in something decent, cause he was terrific in One Flew Over the Cuckoos' Nest, and Ian Mc Shane is just amazing.

There's talk of a Batman 3 going on, but if they ever need a villain to play The Penguing or something, he's your guy. He's just tremendous and I hope he'll be in lots more quality productions. One of the very best actors I've ever seen. Such a natural.

I never got "Seinfeld", boring IMO.

Life on Mars S2 - Episode 5 & 6: 5/5

Excellent series with the right mix of drama, humour and mystery, and great acting. Finally finishing these off in preperation for Ashes To Ashes S2.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Apr 2009, 09:46

Any word when that's coming Grim?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Apr 2009, 09:51

I'm not sure, sometime this month I think. The BBC trailers just say "Coming Soon" at the moment.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Apr 2009, 13:28

There are BBC Trailers! Brad heads over to You Tube. Thanks.

EDIT: Here we are:

Loving the new hair cut Ms. Hawes. Doctor Who and Ashes to Ashes - Woo hoo!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Apr 2009, 15:03

I like her new hair too

Love the Spandau Ballet funk of Chant No. 1

Life on Mars S2: Episodes 7 & 8: 5/5

Brilliant. Some of the acting by John Simm especially in the final episode, is fabulous - and there's a masterstroke near the end which I won't reveal. For some reason it messed with my head all over again because I was about to watch Ashes to Ashes S1.

The DVD menus of A2A are hilarious

luckystars · Post by **luckystars** » 06 Apr 2009, 21:28

Just looked that that trailer - what a load of poop

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Apr 2009, 21:30

You ever seen LOM or A2A: Season 1?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Apr 2009, 21:38

You're basing your opinion on a You Tube trailer? You're a load of poop

. Both are excellent series with fantastic writing. I much prefer Ashes to Ashes myself but most Life on Mars.

Series 2 of Ashes to Ashes should be much darker than Series 1.

New Red Dwarf (on Dave, viewed as 1 big episode) - 7/10

Not a classic but still good. Particularly enjoyed tonight's part/episode which was very good

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Apr 2009, 11:02

Some more of Spongebob S2: 4/5
