It’s OK, Pete’s looking into it.

[peas_and_corn]

When I saw the link I thought that it was another thread like the “Have you seen Red Dwarf? Spoilers!” one…

[peas_and_corn]

Hey, you’re right! I don’t know.

[peas_and_corn]

>And anyway, how do they plan to keep up the subplot, I mean he?s raped EVERYONE.

Ahh yes, and someone decided to make a reference to it in the show-

Lister: Not Chen?
Holly: Yes, Chen, everybody, everybody’s been raped Dave

On another topic, it appears that Jamie Oliver will be the new Holly. Apparently he will be saying “Gordon Bennet” at the beginning of every line, which is concerning.

[peas_and_corn]

mmm, certainly. IN fact, I prefer superhero movies when they point out that the lone hero can’t change everything!

[peas_and_corn]

Well, more of a wall of water spraying down that they go through as they swing on the rope over the finish line. It’s… a good idea when on a diagram.

>after the?abomination that is Batman & Robin)

They need to bring back the orange Batsuit :P

Just saw the Australian version- it seems to be more close to the original than the UK one. There is four events, and they change the entire arena, like they did originally- mainly because it’s too small to fit everything in! The eliminator was almost the same- except they have a ladder where there was the cargo net, and the water fountain instead of the paper thing they would crash through. It’s all right- a little hammy, but that’s what Gladiators is all about!

[peas_and_corn]

Ahh, thank you!

[peas_and_corn]

Well, that’s why I’m writing a PhD right now.

[peas_and_corn]

the RD USA one would just be better with just ‘FAIL’ written on it, IMO.

[peas_and_corn]

Yep- a twist of lemon in Indy’s drink

[peas_and_corn]

What the fuck are they saying? I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HALF OF THE WORDS

[peas_and_corn]

I just love this comment-

ay up cocker put wood in hole be 4 we catch t death ut cold

I must say that series XIV remains my favourite. This is mainly because it was all one long arc, and we all know from experience that Dwarf fans love having ‘to be continued’ displayed at the end of as many episodes in a series as possible. Not only that, but the shipwide AIDS epidemic was handled brilliantly. The proposed solution of removing everyone’s appendix was somewhat hard to believe, but then again Kryten did it, and he did have magical powers for the series.

BUT I digress. XVI is a good series so far, but what about Lister’s third GELF bride? I mean, a new condom vending machine in the disco was required, but surely marrying was a bit too silly. Of course Rimmer’s fluent GELF (well, he does have a thing for languages) created a great situation for them to annul the marriage, but it all felt a bit much like padding- and what’s with the set they used for the trial? black and white floors and no backdrop? LAME.

[peas_and_corn]

and connected to that, ATM machine.

[peas_and_corn]

It is working again. It’s not as shit slow as it was last time, too.

[peas_and_corn]

I’m washing my hair.

[peas_and_corn]

The site is down- I checked with downorjustme.com

>Chris Barrie took on the role of ‘Arnold Rimmer’ the Red Dwarf ship’s superior before he and most of the crew were killed by a radiation leak.

Huh??

[peas_and_corn]

>I didnt? know guitars could make that sound?

just good quality strings and strong fingers to get the hammer ons right.

He’s going to South Africa to get involved in the diamond mining business to secure funding for the Red Dwarf movie.

[peas_and_corn]

Look, we just need to go back in time and use borg nanoprobes fired out of a deflector dish on the back of a particle beacon with the trans phasic polarity set to the same frequency as the polaron gravometric tachyon time phenomenon.

[peas_and_corn]

>I reckon that the forum should be sub-divided into different areas – i.e. ?Red Dwarf?, ?Other TV?, ?Random Shite? etc

Be careful!! It’ll snowball- http://www.millennium-thisiswhoweare.net/tiwwa/

[peas_and_corn]

>The rise of DVD and the net have allowed a more protracted form of TV storytelling to take hold.

I noticed this in the commercial for the Star Trek Deep Space Nine DVDs they described it as a “ hour epic”

[peas_and_corn]

Where are we going? Who nose!

[peas_and_corn]

Hey, some bastard’s already gone and made the website all white! :P

Sad to see you leave, but it’s good to see you having a go at what you want to do :)

>There?s excellent stuff there, don?t get me wrong, but the gag-rate took a while to increase, the voices/animation took a while to come together, and the writing was sometimes pretty spotty.

One of the reasons why the first two seasons resonate with me is that they have heaps of sad moments. After getting the DVDs and watching without commercials, I got a little teary with some of the more emotion packed episodes. There were episodes with heart, something that only appears occasionally (such as in “he loves to fly and he doh’s”).

[peas_and_corn]

I’d like Chloe Annett’s bust

[peas_and_corn]

Or perhaps Ganymede and Titan: Just The One Joke

[peas_and_corn]

I never thought I’d say this about youtube, but some of the comments are kinda stupid…

[peas_and_corn]

A few of my friends have wiis. One of them created a really weird mii- black, nose on forehead, weird glasses, giant lips- and called her Woopi Spas. Hilarious.

[peas_and_corn]

Back in the early 90s the Late Show team got a TV show called ‘Rush’, cut it up, and voiced it over in hilarious fashion- in the commentary they believe they were the first people to cut the footage together to create internal story lines. Anyways, here’s part one, and from there you can go onwards to the other parts (I have the DVD of this and Bargearse, the other show they made- brilliant)

well, Hamlet text game I found, can’t find the richard one for some reason.

What am I supposed to do in the RD game? Im’ on the ship but there’s nothing to do…

[peas_and_corn]

Playing it now. It’s as interesting as the richard the third text adventure game

[peas_and_corn]

the dot needs to be bigger

[peas_and_corn]

>I?m sure we?ll get the obligatory whining from Norman about the Movie. If I were in the audience I would ask him about that spot in the middle of his forehead. Or whether he had broken his nose ever!

DO IT.

And post it on youtube if you can :-)

[peas_and_corn]

>?THAT?S IT, RIMMER! TWO MONTHS?IN THE HOLE!!!! AGAIN!!!!!?

Needs another close up of the muffin after this.

[peas_and_corn]

I think Danny was upset about him gone because he couldn’t talk about Barrie’s package any more.

[peas_and_corn]

I reckon the film was made while Charles was “in rehab”.

[peas_and_corn]

>Did Holly specifically name each crew member to be ressurrected by the nanobots?

In the lift, he said “Presumably they’ve all been resurrected as well” (or something to that effect)- meaning he didn’t totally direct the rebuild

[peas_and_corn]

I watched most of series one and I wasn’t too impressed, personally.

[peas_and_corn]

“Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times” is made in a very ‘classic’ manner, “Springfield Up” is gold all the way through, same with “Yokel Chords”, “Homerazzi”, “My Fair Laddy” is a great Willie episode and he deserves more… and so on.

There are episodes that do have a great start and don’t deliver, as you said, and others with ludicrously complex stories (when Homer became a fireman? waaaay too complex). However, it’s still better than Family Guy.

[peas_and_corn]

>I started watching during IV, but it was really just another sitcom for me at that point. It was in the post-VI years that I think I became a ?fan?, thanks to things like the Smeg Ups tapes, talking to people at school about it, reading the books, etc. So VII was the first series that actually felt like an ?event? for me.

For me that was series 8

>The Simpsons?yeah I agree, around 3, 4, 5 & 6 it?s untouchable, but I just don?t hold the show in as high a regard as I do others. The fact that it?s been crap for years adds to that, I suppose.

1&2 have awesome stuff, seasons 11-14 are meh (adapting to a new team of writers/producers) BUT 16-18 have some absolute gold.

[peas_and_corn]

Playing the Thunderball DVD is even easier!

[peas_and_corn]

Simpsons. I grew up with it, and I’m living my adult life now with it.

[peas_and_corn]

The ‘Jon doesn’t hear Garfield’s thoughts’ aspect gets broken all the time- there are many strips where it’s quite clear Jon is reacting to Garfield’s words.

Max Power
He’s the man,
Whose name you want to touch,
But you mustn’t touch!

His name sounds good in your ear,
But when you say it,
You mustn’t fear!
’cause his name
Can be said
By anyone-

[peas_and_corn]

Or maybe “Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosi”
