Maybe we can sell you a US version of the wrongly-lauded CBC "satire" The Newsroom. ONly change it from a TV Newsroom to a late night talk show.

I can't help but imagine I'd be more likely to be interested in this future-president show if they'd only displayed some subtlety and respected our intelligence by NOT CALLING IT JACK AND BOBBY.

Also, I want the kid in Clubhouse to die a slow and painful death because he already ruined the Peter Pan movie, I don't ever want to see his ugly teenbeat face again.

Was he Peter Pan himself? Wasn't that the kid from Frailty?

As for Jack and Bobby, I initially thought the ad on the bus that I saw was a joke.

Yeah, it's the same kid -- but somewhere between Frailty and Peter Pan any acting skill he had evaporated.

I admit I had no interest in seeing Peter Pan, now from the sound of it I have even less. For some reason promos for Clubhouse were foisted on me during my plane trips to and from Caracas -- along with Love Actually, gah -- and I idly remember thinking that it looked foolish, Christopher Lloyd or not.

Jack and Bobby is the brainchild of someone from the land of comic books, where subtlety is defined as:

*wonders how long it will take for the comic-loving massive to beat Huck down*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought Huck WAS the comic-loving massive.

See, that's part of the mystery here.

HUCK SMASH!

But really, folks...comics require a certain transparency, having only 22 pages per month to get points across. TV, especially hour-long dramas, we deserve a little more respect.

Lost ~~will be~~ is very good, if the rest of the season maintains the dread and horror the pilot episode.

For some of my friends, it won't be perfect unless Dom engages in love with other beings (preferably male).

There are tons of people on the island, I'm sure they all start having sex or cannibalizing each other eventually.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Just not at the same time. That's icky.

Come on, man, what better way to honor the work of Peter Jackson?

THe cigarette brand?

Dead alive with pleasure.

The producers have dropped hints that Dom's going to get it on with a polar bear, gender indeterminate.
