Should be great

 

[WallCrawl]

SWEET!! I can't wait! Extres Series 1 was a good, solid show.

 

[Bastila]

I can't wait I loved the first season very funny.

 

[WallCrawl]

Any other upcoming shows that look good, Bat Brain?

 

[Avalanche]

It's Orlando Bloom in the first episode right?

 

[Bastila]

Yes he is.

 

[Red]

Its not funny, for that matter neither was the office.

 

[Bastila]

See I didn't like the Office but I really liked Extras.

 

[Avalanche]

^

Same here. I never got the office. Extras was always the better series.

 

[Happenstance]

Well just watched the first episode, was pretty good. Bloom was better than I was expecting aswell.

 

[Bastila]

I really liked it last night Orlando Bloom was so funny about Johnny Depp.

 

[WallCrawl]

Just finished watching the first episode, and it was really enjoyable. The first series had a fairly rigid formula that didn't break until they finally had events from previous episodes come to a head in episodes 5 and 6. I'm glad to see that right out of the gate they're giving the characters some real emotional conflict and duress.

"Ooh, look at me, I make art house movies. Ooh, I've got scissors for hands. Willy Wonka? Johnny wanker."

Hilarious.

 

[Bastila]

And what he said about Keria kissing Johnny Depp ''Don't make me F****** vomit'' lol.

And when he said about people asking ''who's that freak'' on the Pirate set. And the magazine thing with the top 10 men and stuff really funny.

 

[TKing]

Yeah, first episode was hilarious.

 

[Vapor]

Any other upcoming shows that look good, Bat Brain?

That Mitchell and Webb Look

 

[Gonking]

Extras is a great show. Here, we watch it on HBO

 

[Balian]

Just heard Robert De Niro was on it.

 

[Happenstance]

Yeah he was, I missed the first 10 mins of the last episode but the rest was pretty good. Not up to the standards of the rest of the series id say but enjoyable all the same.

 

[Balian]

Its not funny, for that matter neither was the office.

That comment is just ignant, if you can't realise the greatness of The Office, and Extras (not so much) you don't know comedy, or at least any type of intelligent comedy.

 

[Happenstance]

Its not ignorant at all, if he didnt like it he didnt like it.

 

[Balian]

Its not ignorant at all, if he didnt like it he didnt like it.

Where did I say anything about him not liking it?
The impression I got from his comment was that he acknowledged both shows as being pure rubbish, set aside from his personal views.

 

[Bastila]

I liked this one tonight.

When his in the hosp with that boy and he said something about Maggie being stupid and she said something like ''oh they put fish in them at faires'' something like that lol.

I'm with you on that one. You can not like something while still recognizing its technical and critical merits.

I wanted to bump to get everyones opinion of the finale which will air in the UK tommorow. We got it in the states already and I enjoyed it.

 

[Donnie Darko]
