Next door that i was talking about are moving out on Monday.

And to think, it was only a day ago you were wishing them dead! Looks like they had a lucky escape there, what with it being the wish fairy's weekend off and all.

They are a Gay couple and it seems like they have fallen out with each other and one has been kicked out of the house.They are having a huge row right now and i overheard some of what they were saying.Its really kicking off now but i am blocking it out by listening to music through headphones.

Its so dramatic !!    :lol:

"I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU !!! - I WANT YOU PACKED AND OUT OF THIS HOUSE WHEN I GET BACK FROM WORK!!!!"

Looks like all this is boiling down to the films limited budget. Designing Dredds costume as is and to the letter equals alot of dosh in the eyes of the film makers. Dropping in a real world equivalent equates to less expense.

What? Are you trying to imply that "scrimping" on a few eagle shoulder pads will allow the budget to go further?

Because - and I don't feel this is overstating the case - if you *are* implying that, you're mental

They should have budgeted for it and i always think that you shouldnt do things you cant afford where you have to cut corners if it compromises the end product.

Lots of things in this film will cost "a lot of dosh" but why dont the filmakers make all the sets out of cardboard to cut costs and oh whatever.....

I feel just like @Steve Green above but i keep coming back as i cant help myself but if i keep coming back to this thread i am going to be totally sick and tired of the film before its even in the cinema.

 Oh, and by the way, I won't be unemployed, Mate, as I've now retired, although I'm still "young at heart".



Goody for you but i bet you are feeling the pinch.

I am not defending those that choose to nothing and feed off the system but those who become unemployed because of present economic problems or for any other reason that they are not personally responsible for like living in an area where there are no jobs.

Thats my point and i dont think its unreasonable or hard to understand.

In this economic climate its a little bit unfair to say or think that everyone who is unemployed is unemployed out of choice and a layabout.

It also doesnt wash to make a big deal out of paying for the unemployed to do nothing out if your taxes or if you do then make sure you complain and protest about all the other ways that cash is scammed off you the taxpayer unless your intelligence level is similar to a tabloid.

Bash the unemployed - bash the unemployed - bash the unemployed............

Boring.

Who fucked up the economy ?

The unemployed didnt and if anyone doesnt like the fact there are growing numbers of unemployed then stop voting for politicians and parties that dont represent you or this country.

Where are the jobs going to come from to solve unemployment ?

They are not coming from anywhere so get used to it and those that bitch about the unemployed should consider that they could become unemployed at any time through no fault of their own.

Just saying......

Perhaps that's what the Government's in the process of doing.  A bit of pain before the gain!!  What do you think?

Next door that i was talking about are moving out on Monday.

Synchronicity man......

Shame as they were alright generally and they were also quiet.

There was a Bluebottle fly buzzing around which was annoying  >:(.It was buzzing around in the bathroom so i took a swing at it with a rolled up magazine as it was buzzing around and hit it as there was a squashed fly on the floor.It was making it very difficult to relax.

In the interests of fairness i should watch series  2 again sometime.

I bet no one wants to hear my anecdote about Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge again.

The problem with the 95 costume was that it wanted it both ways, adding protection like the codpiece and the harness/body armour, but replacing the leather with lycra, and blinging it up even more.

The new one has got to have some of the iconography of Dredd, and look like it was designed by Justice Department, rather than just be something off-the-shelf with a helmet stuck on top, otherwise what's the point?

I think people worry too much about camp - my take on it is, if the world they create is wilder, and the judges are all wearing the same uniform - then no-one bats an eyelid.

Making it real-world is fine, the danger is hacking off all the bits of Dredd that make it Dredd.

And honestly, I think the camp costume card is weak, it didn't seem to harm Kick-Ass that they were running around in ridiculous costumes.

I am with you on this.

I never thought of JD as looking camp and the material the uniform is made of is a futuristic stretch Kevlar type thing which makes it plausable.

The problem is trying to make aspects of the film more believable and plausable by relating it to what we know in the present while forgetting its the future where anything goes.

If someone told you twenty years ago that you would be posting comments on an online forum in the future you might have thought that to be ridiculous which proves my point.

GOP Establishment Republicans/Neocons in da house.

Bomb bomb bomb Iran !

It will be Hillary Clinton/Sarah Palin for POTUS in 2012.

This is the next election Dog and Pony show coming up !

This is how the establishment will sell the next US election.Stick a woman in the White House for more change you cant believe in.Its funny and tragic at the same time watching all the Tea Party dupes cheering Sarah Palin.

And so the cycle continues.......... ::) :crazy:

Its a shame that so many adults have low intelligence and learning difficulties.

How is the Change promised by the Conservative Coalition govt going ?

Don't forget also Knowing Me Knowing You radio and TV shows, which were excellent... personally I'd say it was only the second I'm Alan Partridge series that was underdeveloped.



I totally forgot about Knowing Me Knowing You and the radio and TV.

::)

Although i have criticised his other work what we are talking about here [apart from series 2] is in my list of all time best TV Comedy.

The first series of Alan Partridge was the best as it was played straight but i think the second series had canned laughter which ruined it completely.

I havent watched the subject of the thread but the first series of Alan Partridge was the only thing he did that was any good apart from when he was on the Day Today.
