You MUST watch the Brit TV show "Spaced!"
two seasons were made of it, before SotD movie, and you can see so many references in the TV show as a prelude to the movie. Try to find the DVD, well worth the money. Failing that, P2P it.

Not to mention that Are You Being Served? is probably the funniest of all BritComs...

What's your favorite episode?
Mine is when he finds out the .35 or whatever left in his savings account grew with interest to make him the richest guy in the universe, but then finds out he left the lights on in his kitchen and bacteria from the tuna melt he left in the bin killed hundreds of people.
or something like that.... it's been a while.
I saw it this weekend also. Damn funny movie.
I will definatly get it on DVD.

Allo Allo? is one of my favs.
Shaun of the Dead is the movie to see, kids. put down that copy of Napoleon Dynamite and actually see a movie worth watching and laughing about.
Am I likely to find it at Blockbuster?narlus said:Shaun of the Dead is the movie to see, kids. put down that copy of Napoleon Dynamite and actually see a movie worth watching and laughing about.

when the zombie in the wheelchair scoots a little bit i was the only person in the theater who lost it laughing and i yelled at everyone for not realizing that was funny as hell. true story.
That's because 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999998% of people are idiots.WhiteRavenKS said:

you make fun of me for watching _The Apprentice_? ditch blockbluster...go Netflix!SkaredShtles said:
got the dvd, love it
No - someone gave me two free movie vouchers to Blockbuster. We generally use the library, because it's almost always free. :eviltongunarlus said:
Netflix costs too much.
-S.S.-
if you are depending on the library to meet yr movie needs, i wouldn't worry about seeing _Shaun of the Dead_.
Hmmm.narlus said:
That's why I asked about Blockbuster, numbnutz. :eviltongu
Although our library system seems to have more movies than we can get through...........
-S.S.-
blockbluster might have a copy, but you'll have to endure sitting in the checkout line while a terry schiavo-eqsue "helpful" employee tries to figure out how to use the cash register.
plus, they may have a copy but it will never be in stock. i actually got a copy of a movie (can't recall the title now) whcih i had been really looking forward to seeing, and was surprised when it was on the shelf. when i went to check it out, the slack-jawed response i got was that i couldn't because it hadn't been entered into their inventory. the useless pile of protoplasm seemed surprised when i suggested he go into the back room and ask someone who knew something to check it in so i could rent it. of course that was impossible.
i detest BB. netflix is awesome, and has a very deep selection. good range of stuff you'd never see in a store, like documentaries, foreign flicks, etc.
everything but porno. :devil:

I detest them as well. But I'll sure as hell take 'em for a couple free movies.narlus said:
Netflix would be a waste of money, since it seems I can only manage to watch about 4 movies a month.........
-S.S.-
yeah, i'd hold off on Netflix, but convince a friend w/ a DVD burner to get a subscription...
Ummm..... hmmm....... I have a DVD burner now.narlus said:

Well, I saw it on Friday. I'm kinda of bummed. As far as zombie movies go it was mildly amusing. As far as Brit humor flicks, I have to say I didn't find myself laughing much. And I like Brit humor flicks.
Saw Snatch on Saturday. Much more humourous, IMO.

snatch is the superior movie, no doubt. but even that is a bit of a retread of _Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells_, so mr madonna may have run out of ideas.
I think I have to see this LSATSB movie. Someone else recommended it.narlus said:
Snatch was funny as $hit.

that was his first flick. tony (i think that's his name - "my gun says American Eagle, while your gun says "replica". now F off!") is in that one too. sting's got a decent cameo as well. definitely rent it.
you seen "Shallow Grave" yet? that's another great brit flick.
