Somewhat surprised... but not really.
Mr. Skutter
month, it looks like a film version of the cult smash sci-fi sitcom
has pushed back its start of shooting date again to next year. Talking
to Sci-Fi Online, 'The Cat' himself Danny John-Jules said "Well... the
latest is that it's definitely going to start filming in the New Year.
I say 'definitely' but a few years of saying 'definitely' is not very
reliable [laughs]. That's the latest that I've heard from the horse's
mouth - i.e. Doug Naylor. I can only go by that really. Filming is due
to start in Australia on the Gold Coast early in 2004". Thanks to
'Cyberd'.

your claiming that you've never woken up after a night of bar hopping with a
shaved hamster on your face... and I think we all know how unlikely that is.
On a side note I think I am illegal in Kentucky... but that's another story,
and not one I'll admit to. Besides, I swear the goat was the one driving.
Do let me know if I can un-depress you in any way . For now I reccomend back
to back watchings of "life of brian", "monty python and the holy grail","the
end" (burt reynolds, not the red dwarf episode)and "return of the living
dead part 2" (aka "you mean it wasn't supposed to be that funny? Then why
did we do the zombie micheal jackson bit?"... an unworkable title as you can
see, so the shorter one was chosen). I'd have reccomended Red Dwarf but you
would have been expecting that and as we all know, no body expects yada yada

I find that five minutes with a Judy Garland CD has much the same effect.
And it's cheaper than the drugs (and, sadly, legal).
Speaking of which, a bunch of sadistic mind-buggering bastardarinos have
unleashed a singalong version of The Wizard Of Oz on the London populace.
This follows on from singalong versions of The Sound of Music, Annie, Joseph
and his Amazing Technicolour Thingy and probably two or three other hideous
pieces of hideousness as well. Personally I'm waiting for a singalong South
Park, because I know 90% of the words and I do own a hooded anorak. Okay,
it's not dayglo orange, but I could get some paint.

Uh-uh. If you want a serious otter turd of a movie, might I direct you in
the direction of Jennifer Lopez's newie "Gigli", which stinks big-time.
It's almost, but not quite, bad enough to be offensive, but way bad enough
to rank as deeply bloody awful. Incredibly, there have been at least three
films even worse: House of 1000 Corpses (bunch of brainless teenaged
imbeciles get tortured and yelled at for two hours in Dolby Stereo by a
bunch of backwoods redneck psycho nutbags), Dreamcatcher (yet another
hopeless Stephen King ragbag of flatulence, aliens, Army nutbags and a
creepy kid) and the woeful shovelful of week-old weasel vomit known as The
Truth About Charlie, for which the genius responsible for The Silence of the
Lambs thought that casting Mark Wahlberg as a Cary Grant figure was a great
idea, and conjures up the magic of Paris by hauling on a decrepit-looking
Charles Aznavour to mumble into the camera while accordian music honks away
in the background. By comparison, your Return of the Living Dead 2 (for
which, incidentally, I have the T-shirt) is merely painfully and tediously
inadequate bollocks made by untalented tossers. There's some evidence that
the masterminds behind Gigli, Dreamcatcher and Charlie have done good stuff
in the past. ROTLD2's director Ken Wiederhorn's finest hour and a bit was a
mouldy old Peter Cushing underwater Nazi zombie flick entitled Shock Waves.

Okay, I'll be honest here....
I went to see Gigli, and....No, I didn't like it. I thought it was
hideously misjudged, woefully unfunny, morally questionable, hopelessly
badly scripted, massively overbudgeted, patronising drivel. I'm not that
impressed with Ben Affleck at the best of times, to the extent that I don't
think I've seen him in anything where I haven't felt he was miscast: too
young for his role in The Sun of All Fears; pointless in Armageddon, and
outshone by Minnie Driver in Good Will Hunting (and those three films
weren't very good in the first place - GWH was particularly terrible). And
even given that, I think Affleck thoroughly disgraced himself with Gigli.
By contrast, Jennifer Lopez [1] is a physically good-looking woman, [2] has
done some reasonably good movies in the past (I liked Angel Eyes, for
instance), and [3] gave as good an account of herself in Gigli as could be
expected given the hopeless script, poor character and having to act with
Ben Affleck. Al Pacino's shouty cameo in the last act woke me up briefly,
the music score doesn't seem to be much more than a small Easy Listening
ensemble having a very subtle jam session; neither of these help. It's
still a terrible, terrible film.
We now return you to your regular programming of innuendo, non sequiturs and
where are my pants?. Would anyone like any toast?

If by jello you mean that wobbly thing we call jelly, then I won't argue
with you (unless it's lemon, which is faberoo, but that's blatantly
obvious). If by jello you mean Jennifer Lopez, then....well, I've seen
worse. (Mollie Sugden, Anne Widdecombe, Dame Edith Evans, Hattie Jacques,
Hilda Ogden, Westlife, Grace Jones, Champion the Wonder Horse, Bletchley
railway station, the Sinclair C5, the Vietnam War, Davros, Duct Soup,
Whigfield, Lou Ferrigno, haggis, Mr Goatse, Hannibal Lector and Father
Abraham....I think you get my drift.)

Hey! I .. no, I didn't like that much either... still it did revive
Robin Williams film career (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

He was good in Dogma. Whatever possessed someone to cast him as
Daredevil, though was an idiot (unless it was Stan Lee, in which case
it's forgiveable)

Sadly, I reluctantly agree with you... :-/

Oh, well, if you going to let someone who can act appear in it, even
as a cameo, you know you're (the "benifer", as some clever clogs
dreamed up) in trouble.. I mean, didn't anyone learn from "Copland"?
(although I will give kudos points for Sly to have a crack at acting)

Hmm, kinda reminds me of the music playing before I watched
