The Sure Thing

Daphne Zuniga and John Cusack. There really isn't much to this story, but I could watch Cusack in anything, forever. Daphne is a sorely underrated goddess as well.

I'm going to assume that by daphne zuniga, you're speaking about Princess Vespa, which is her true and proper name. what cracked me up was when she showed-up on Melrose Place.

jynks post reminded me...I think it was FH but it coulda been here: a couple posts in a row raved about the jacket</i>, and I figured "hey, it has keira knightly in it. I'd watch love, actually</i> for keira knightly." but the whole time (when keira wasn't in the scene), all I could think was "butterfly effect</i> wasn't brilliant or anything, but this shit is an insult to it."

I thought the island was a good one... like you said the IDEA was great and the setup in the "factory" was nice but the rest was disappointing as hell.

I just saw another good one last night

Something Wicked This Way Comes

It is a cool movie about an evil carnival of demon things... but the cool thing about it was that it was made by Disney (before they split off Dreamworks or whatever it is called to do there more adult movies) But still it is a nice little movie with a few spooky bits and some eary concepts that is quite safe to watch with the young'n.

Hmm could have sworn I got it from HHAH but I can no longer find the link...

the K in dreamworks skg was the head of disney animation, but the two distributors are mortal enemies - definitely not a subsidiary.

entourage</i>

You know nothing of the crunch! Here's your first slice of the crunch!

The BBC has actually released the series, but i think they are only crappy RAM downloads. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/

You'll just have to be one of those wannabes that pick up a series, 4 series onand pretend you followed it from the begining. But you will know nothing of the crunch...

All i've seen is the original internet short and i didn't think it was particularly good at the time. I don't think its like the crazey frog fad though, although it shares the same kind of history.

The Boosh Rules.... The guy who plays Howard is also in a great UK show called Nathan Barlie.... it is nothing like the boosh but still very good... I do not think there IS a show like the boosh around... it is a total original.

I have all of the first season of trippiong the rift.. but it is total CRAP.... A lot of people seam to like it though so go figure.

i dunno, the humour is like Garth Marengi's Darkplace... sillyness, they also share key members of cast like in the shot above so i think there's some relation between the comedy for sure. Of course marengi's is a lot more down to earth, whereas the Boosh is very drug-user friendly :mrgreen:

As for monkey dust being better, total shit. Monkey Dust is funny and all, but it dies midseason and ends up being repetative. Its no where near as funny too, i laughed a lot more at mighty boosh over its two series than Monkey Dust.

There's three shows that came out of BBC3, the other being the vastly overrated Little Britain, which is probably my least favourite of the three.

I really didn't like The dark place much.. apart from the ep with the wierd baby monster with the huge eye... lol I do not think it is anywhere near Boosh... the boosh is just class...

can't agree with you there. Garth Marengi's was so much better than mighty boosh. Can't wait for the DVD.

little britain gets repetitive to me a lot so it annoys me, plus you can't move for idiots quoting it

monkey dust had great characters like dobson the meat safe murderer and mr hoppy, and the 3 wannabe terrorists who want to commit things but find out theres an important footie match, or pop idol or something on tv
