Could have  used more Zombies!


I agree with everyone here and JJ hit it on the head big time. Not bad, not great - pretty mediocre, which is what this movie should NOT have been. Overall disappointed. Now 'Shaun of the Dead'... that was a great modern/humorous zombie flick! Not easily to be outdone. But honestly? Why do we need ANY more zombie or vampire movies for that matter? Pick a different theme already Hollywood, etc.

But with shaun of the dead you had such a great team of writers and director, that original produced spaced.  If anyone has not seen spaced watch it now.  Now I tell you.  No go watch it now really

I just added the entire to my queue on Netflix. Looks cool, thanks for the tip! Last TV series someone suggested from here was Trailer Park Boys. I'm on season 7 now and loving it! lol

Let me know what you think.  Some of it defo of a birtish nature.

I love foreign shows, especially Brit. 'Coupling', while a completely different genre, was a good one too that we've recently watched. Comparatively, our shows are predictably boring, mediocre, talentless and horribly filmed. I absolutely despise the way the camera 'moves' & 'bounces' around as if a child is filming it. And they may as well be. Total amateurish garbage and you get sea sick after a while. Also, this business of shoving the camera or zooming in too close is obnoxious as hell. There's not much to like pop culturally in America right now. Hasn't been for years. Music and the way it's produced is another great example  :-(  Jamie Cullum, Amy Winehouse, 'The Coral' & Gordon Ramsay are the only modern entertainers I like today and surprise (not)... they're all from the U.K.  lol

Awesome, thanks for the Peep Show tip. Am vaguely aware of the other two, but have not watched with much attention paid (ie: successively). Will have to look into those more...

JJ - you ROCK! Just watched the first 4 episodes of Spaced last night. WOW!! Compared to what we have on Primetime here in America - this is simply brilliant. Love the characters (Twist is cute as hell!), humor, style, directing, sound/video effects - everything. This is much wittier and quicker than anything I've seen in decades here. And sorry, not a Seinfeld fan at all, although that show seems to be all the rage. For nonsensical time wasting in front of the tele, Spaced is at least worth watching. Gets a few more brain cells going at least. Thanks man! Will be checking out the other few series' you mentioned within the next couple of months  :)
