Watched the US Version of the Inbetweeners. Found it funny that i knew every line but the locations where different. the acting was terrible cause they were copied lines. but all in all it was a good laugh to laugh at the failure of it. strangely though i'll be watching all the rest of the episodes.

I semi enjoyed it but didn't laugh once, just wasn't funny at all really.

I've now watched four or five episodes of the original series as well as the film. Think it's ridiculously overrated if I'm honest, I got bored of the constant "I'd do your mum!"-type exchanges pretty fast.

Peep Show has a similar amount of filth/sleaze/"gross out" humour but executes it so much better. It shits all over it, so to speak.

The film was very overrated. People saying it was the best film of the year and all that sh1te. It was alright, nothing special, not as good as the shows.

I found the shows hilarious on first viewing, and some jokes are still great, but it's very much diminishing return with each viewing. The show definitely doesn't have the staying power of the great C4 comedies.

The TV series is great. Has a fantastic witty energy about it.

The film is nowhere near as good and poor in comparison.

Series is fantastic, film was ridiculously over-rated. I don't think the series has gotten old or unoriginal either. The 3rd series was just as well written and funny as the 1st in my opinion. The US version was a stupid idea and will more than likely ruin it for everyone. :pac:

Watching scary ghost stuff in the dark... this one by far has creeped me out... just wondering is that how house fires can start.

Didnt put the vid in case some you may not believe and some may not like to see:pac: but if i though most haunted was staged.... ive been proven wrong now..:pac:

I keep having dreams within dreams. I wake up, only to be still dreaming. Then when I actually wake up I'm convinced that what was happening was real.

This is happening a lot lately and it's starting to get irritating.



EDIT: 4500 posts, woo!

Thankfully nothing as serious as that.

I dreamt I found a book that one of my friends had written about six years ago with James Patterson. :pac:

Michael Collins just started on RTE 1!

Nothing like seeing Severus Snape fighting for a Free Ireland.

Alan Rickman, the ultimate evil character.

Apparently in my sister's histroy class in college, a mature student started shouting in a lecture about how Neil Jordan wanted to skew the movie by casting Rickman as Dev. :pac:

Neil Jordan did skew the movie tbf, but Michael Collins was some man

Well he did skew it (that bollox at the end in Skibb(?) before Beal na mBlath was cringeworthy), but De Valera was an unbelievable PRICK. :mad:

Never realised that. Another thing I learned today is that Henry Ford was an anti-semite, and published booklets such as 'The International Jew - The world's foremost problem'!

I live near where his grandfather was born, and they're sure to keep that little piece of information nice and quiet :P

disney was too.

giggle to myself about it whenever a disney flick is on

If I'm not mistaken, Walt Disney was a bit of an anti-semite as well.

Hard to imagine people who are such icons have a whole other side that is kinda hushed away...


EDIT: Dang it Junco.

Junco Partner

the seven dwarves obsession with diamonds makes sense now :P

Yeats is suspected as being autistic too, kinda makes sense! And Einstein had aspergers.

Can't believe Ford and Disney were anti-semite...weird!:p

Woah! I never realised half of these things :P I think there's also some debate about Emily Dickinson being autistic and/or epileptic!

This is turning into Name the Famous Person's Problem :P

I know that a lot of people with particular disorders or learning difficulties turn out to be super gifted at certain things, like maths or whatever. There was a program about it on tv (BBC?) not so long ago and I watched about a minute of it and got distracted. Kicking myself since!



EDIT: No need to kick myself too hard, though! Wasn't too hard to find: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lyczl Turns out it's more about autism in general. One of the guys in it studies physics in university so when I saw it first I just assumed it was saying he had a big aul' maths head on him :P Might watch it tomorrow...

If you google "famous people with autism/epilepsy/other disorder it'll throw up lots of good info. Makes for brilliant reading! Adam Young, the lead singer of Owl City has autism. (I keep banging on about it, but have a particular interest for personal reasons!:p) Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, is also autistic. Other alleged autistics would include James Joyce, Hans Christian Anderson, Mozart, Thomas Jefferson, Isaac Newton....Bill Gates!

I'll stop now!:o

Eathrin

I really don't know much about autism.
Something to do with lack of interest in social situations and fixations on specific items?

Davidius

de Valera didn't have autism. He just had a maths degree.

flyswatter

The lead singer of The Vines, Craig Nicholls, has autism, aspergers to be precise.

Crazy fucker. Dunno if he's even medically advised to tour anymore.
