yeah, totally pointless

but then the American version of The Office is supposed to be alright isn't it? Not that I've seen it.

The remake turning out "alright" doesn't negate its pointlessness though.


The US Office is good...

but The Office was the sort of show it could realistically be done with (and plus they had Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell rather than some guy from Will & Grace and McG).

I think the fact Spaced is described as a "classic geek-com" in the article is the most telling reason why, no, this show could not realistically be re-made in a good way by a US network.


this is awful news

I heard that they were wanting to make a film of Red Dwarf staring Hugh Grant as Lister..


I heard they were remaking Peep Show

With Jude Law as Jez and Hatey McSmashteeth as Mark.


Well Edgar Wright has been trying to court Hollywood since 'Shaun'

so what do you expect? he's not Ken Loach you know


wrong!

The beginning of my series 2 disc has a scratch and won't play any further than the very very beginning of the intro, so it won't even let me ff. :'-(.


i heard they're making a remake

of darkplace with tom selleck as garth marenghi and steve guttenberg as sanchez.


...

The powerful Scotch-American lobby would never allow it.


Well

I think man means man and Dagless means Dagless, but I don't think och means anything


...

With McG on board, this can't fail to be one of those things each of us keep forever in our hearts.

Like AIDS.

Do the words

McG

angers me a lot

Do people actually call him "McG", like to his face? He needs a firm slap
