This reminds me somewhat of the 'Go, Johnny - Go, Go, Go, Go' sketch from Teh League of Gentlemen.


Just felt that I'd share that with you all.

The TV series sucked

BLASPHEMY!!!  The TV series was fantastic - it combined the fast wit and clever concepts of the original radio series (not to mention many of the original actors) with fantastically campy Doctor Who-esque production values; it was the series that turned me (and many others) onto Adam's work in the first lpace, and rightly so.
 As to the movie, my gut feeling is that there's no way that they're going to be able to adapt the original work 100% faithfully to the big screen, but I've got my fingers crossed that it will still turn out to be an intelligent and humorous film - though I will reserve judgement until I've heard more about the production, or maybe even till I've *gasp* - ACTUALLY SEEN IT!

Andail?  You're a broad?  Hmm...  

'Broad'.  How quaint.

I bought JAM on DVD this week. Nothing on TV has been as funny for years. Utterly brilliantly hilarious (although by no means perfect, and a touch hit-and-miss).

Oh, absolutely - for all it's flaws, Jam is probably my favourite sketch show of all time, because of it's sheer originality, and the ability it has to horrify you and make you laugh at the same time (the sketch where the woman calls the plumber round to fix her baby, especially).
 I remember when Channel 4 used to show the uncut version at about 1 AM, I always used to wake up the next morning and wonder just how much of it I dreamed.

I have to say that I'm verily much in love with Pétaglair, myself.  He's given me the inclination to go out and learn French, in fact.

It is based on a letter in an international code, which is also a drink. See, I like them complicated  

That narrow sit down to two... I'm going to work it out and log in to all your things and steal all your money... bwuhahahahahaha

or maybe not  

I thought it was a little bit too obvious, as well - I almost considered maybe logging in with her account so I could edit the post for her

Haven't seen past three.

When I see more episodes, will let you know what they're like.

Don't know why you didn't like it -- I thought it was brilliantly animated and very involving.

It's not really that I didn't like it, just that there were (and are) other series vying for my attention (such as Texhnolyze, which you all should have downloaded by now, if you know whats good for you), and they happened to be better, in my eyes.

BTW, can I call you Sailor Sponge from now on?  

Hehe, we should totally form our own magical drag-queen team; we could do an ultra cheesy OP sequence in flash, and everything.


Well, we COULD.


Stop looking at me like that!


Anywho, few more reccomendations here:

Berserk
Legend of Black Heaven
Escaflowne (movie or series, it's all good)
Boogiepop Phantom
X TV (not the movie, it's poo)
Kare Kano
Haibane Renmei
Ebichu
Gunbuster
Macross Plus
FLCL
Cyber City Oedo
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Patlabor 1
Patlabor 2
Patlabor WXIII
Memories
Castle of Cagliostro
Wings of Honneamise
Porco Rosso
Kiki's Delivery Service
Grave of the Fireflies
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
And so forth.

That should keep you occupied for a wee while.

  God, I simply cannot fathom a way to articulate how much I despise Ninja Scroll - sometimes I find Kawajiri's work to be good, brainless fun - as in Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Cyber City Oedo - and his segment of The Cockpit was stunning (though the other two were horrible); but when he directs crap like NS and his cringeworthy Animatrix segment Program, I start to wonder if the quality of his other work is just down to dumb luck.

 Anywho, there's a (so far) fantastic anime series currently being fansubbed now called Texhnolyze - I highly reccomend that you download the first three episodes and watch them back-to-back (some people might not find the first episode as intriguing as I did,  but nonetheless they should stick with it); great stuff (as is to be expected, coming as it is from the same writer as Serial Experiments Lain).  Little advice, though - you'd be better off looking for it on a DC hub than Kazaa, if you want to have a shot at it.

 BTW, Card Captor Macphee - I downloaded the first four episodes of WHR and didn't really have the inclination to get anymore; I hear it gets a lot better from episode 15 onwards, but that's a long wait and (more importantly) a lotta disk-space - you reccomend I get back to it?

PS - Yes, Flippy, NGE is fantastic, but it's far to obvious a reccomendation to make

WHAT'S WRONG WITH CARDCA... I mean, no I haven't watched it!

Shyeah, right Macphee; how exactly do you explain this, then?

Kenshin is such a hottie.

I mean, I'm not gay, or anything; but still - you would, wouldn't you?

Isn't downloading properly(for me, at least) - same problem as with the AGS shows.

I believe that the most likely explanation is that you have had a curse put on you for not liking Ringu.

I heard about this, too; those guys are my new heroes, even though I don't like the Indy films that much anymore.

Happened to me, too - I'm guessing we had a shared dream, just like in Tom's Midnight Garden.

Careful there, Scummy; you don't want to encourage Esseb's disgusting and creepy imagination.

Curiosity farted the shafting cat... or did it?

I've realised that this is the only thread about adventure games in which Seasons of Sakura hasn't been mentioned....

aaarrrgh! too late  :

You act like it counts if someone other than DeeGee mentions it.

I don't know if the concept of sampling is well known [drips sarcasm] but the Holly Vallance song sampled a popular Turkish song. That was well recored in our media at least.

The media didn't really make a point of that over here, mostly because everyone already recognised the song as it had ben used in an advert for an extremely popular talk-show (I for one can remember what the Turkish original sounds like pretty well despite it being a pretty forgettable advert, but the Holly Valance one seems to have slipped my mind - wonder why).

There was a live-action Sailor Moon; a musical I believe.  
Not that I know anything about Sailor Moon, because I don't watch it - unlike you, you big gay-boy; I bet you watch CardCaptor Sakura, as well!



Am I succesfully fooling anybody?

Shattered Sponge: Wasn't Cameron also going to do a live action Akira, but the deal fell through?

As I understand it, Stephen Norrington (Blade) is still intending to make it; one can only hope he won't screw it up as much as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen trailer implies he has Alan Moore's great comic, but that's wishful thinking for you.

I would be very disturbed if they were uploading all that...
