Just watched That Summer!, which seems like a cross between what folks do at the Jersey Shore every summer (except in the UK) and the events of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Not a bad movie.

Mine never replaces itself like that, though.

That's true. I heard she did that with episode 2.

No, that was when I was bummed behind the bins.

Anyway, to continue the sodomy theme, if you're watching on 4OD and anal enough, the reappearing quinoa is 11.54 (half eaten) and 13.12 (untouched)

Caught this in Leeds today.
It made me smile.
(NB this was an English restaurant)

Wow, sorry to say I AM DISAPPOINT.

I watched episodes 1 and 2. The only good thing I have to say is casting that redhead from GOT as the young version of what's her name was great because there is a very strong resemblance and it worked. Even if she's got GOT stank all over her.

But couldn't they think of something other than miraculously resurrecting three dead characters?

F- for completely Jumping The Shark. It was much better as a complete piece. If they wanted to make another season, they could have left the dead folks dead.

It was heartbreaking to see poor little baby Arby. And equally heartbreaking to see beautiful Fiona so haggard looking. She reminded me of An Gorta Mor...

I did enjoy the mysteriously regenerating Quinoa (It's a SUPER food!)

Utopia sounds like one of my nightmares.

Oops, realised I didn't actually attach what made me smile in Leeds.
Attention to detail derailed in a post about attention to detail.

Attached now simply to make sense of my post about people missing the obvious

Sorry you disliked the immediate premise of Utopia II, Foot.
I'll swallow anything (heheheh) if it brings back such glorious, complex and beautifuully filmed television.
Watched Ep 3 in the early hours of Weds morning.
To me this series gets better and better - what I thought was a clunky plot point turned out to be deliberate.
Not to say it never clunks, but as someone who doesn't even have a TV I am still regularly impressed by Utopia.

Oh and if the Inch says totes now, I say amazeballs

Utopia update:

I am likening it again, despite my earlier criticisms.

Jessica Hyde is getting more and more wacky. I wonder what race Philip Carver carville? chose.

I also really liked the roomba cat meme worked into the show. That was gold.

Awesome new three-part drama miniseries.

The Driver



I watched the first part last night. Magnificently acted by all - David Morrissey I always love but a lot of his stuff recently has been larger than life (e.g The Governor on WD). Though he is great at being a villain, he's at his best as an ordinary man in a serious drama. Also, Colm Meaney - quietly terrifying as a crime leader. Gentle and friendly, with a line in philosphy - we never see him issue a threat yet we are left in no doubt that he is a dangerous bastard.

Morrisey plays a cab driver, who hates his job, is depressed but not depressed enogh forthe doctor to prescribe him drugs - in a marriage that is not loveless but is stale, and a teenage daughter. HIs best friend from childhood comes out of prison from a 6 year stretch for armed robbery and pretty soon has hooked him up with his criminal colleagues who offer him a job as a driver :

Superb drama. Well written, beautifully acted and the descent is utterly believable

OooOOOooh... A Young Doctor's Notebook.

John Hamm.
Daniel Radcliffe.
Plus that peculiar way Brits have of making a drama freaking hysterical. The jokes come out of nowhere, which makes them even funnier.

For all my Merkins who appreciate BBC fare, this one is highly recommended.
