I'll have to get the movie to see what all the fuss is about

Nooooooooooo....

Don't do that. Seriously, the movie is total crap. Really, really awful.

Watch the TV series instead. The epitomy of awesomeness.

Or.. read the books. But I would start with the TV series. I might even have it lying around someplace if you can't find it online.

Ok, no movie..it's funny how some shows should never be made into a movie. I think it's something about trying to jam to much in in a short time
maybe if I doubled my meds it might be really good :mocking:

No, it was just a matter of letting the damn yanks get anywhere near the project. Made a complete ballsup of it, as usual. Just like the Dr Who movie, and countless other americanisations of "foreign" awesomeness.

About the only good thing in the movie was the original Marvin's cameo appearance in the background for about 3 seconds.

mate do I hear ya..so many things and the yanks only think they're funny, most wouldn't know comedy if it bit them on the arse..that is fast becoming a pet hate of mine..and they've even done it with some of our shows, very sad

[Fulvio]

..and they've even done it with some of our shows, very sad

Kath and Kim immediately came to mind.. totally unwatchable crapola.

The only decent yank humour comes out of Canada anyway.

You seen NTSF : SD : SUV? Or InSecurity?

AJ, back on your Ben Elton comment, I had the pleasure of seeing him and Rick Mayall (separately) at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown back in the 1980's (when The Young Ones was on). Ben Elton was on stage for about 2 and a half hours and didn't stop once. It was a brilliant show.

An Aussie who was on par I think was Clive James. Saw him live in Canberra in the late early 90's. Hilarious!

I'm trying to picture him doing standup. Never thought of him that way, somehow...

Speaking of which.... Would any of you Melbournites be interested in going to the Comics Lounge in North Melbourne? I occasionally get offered tickets, which I've used for various clubs I'm in. I reckon it could be a good night out. We could even take some bags of coins to noodle before the show..

I don't know about "stand up comedy" but Clive James has a memory like a steel trap and is SOOOOO quick on his reply's.
Ya gotta love it :yahoo:
Rick Mayall is simply  a seriously funny bugger naturally :ok:
