Resurrection. |
If you haven't already, I would highly recommend you watch the French series The Returned, where the final (of episode airs tonight on SBS 2, before watching Resurrection.I believe the series is already available on DVD at ABC shops and I'm sure those ITK can download it.The Returned won an International Emmy for best drama series 2013.
In the hype leading up to the premiere of Resurrection last week, the producers denied that Resurrection was a remake of the Returned and claimed they had never even heard of the French series. |

What book is season 4? Has Tyrion shot his dad on the dunny yet? |
Like I read.
P.S-Thanks for the spoilers. |
I haven't caught any of the TV series except for 10 minutes of 1 episode and I thought I'd gone to the porn channel by mistake.
Tell me at least that Danny has birthed the 3 dragons by the end of series 3? |
I havent read the books either but I believe book 1 = season1,book2 = season 2 and book 3 has been split to form seasons 3 +4. |

Been watching the Wrong man(s). Very funny late at night ABC 2 half hour show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crkE7x_HFr0
Review in Fairfax:
A man witnesses a car crash. After the ambulance has left, he picks up a ringing phone from the road and answers it. A man tells him, "If you're not here by 5 o'clock, we will kill your wife".
And so the man is drawn into a Hitchcockian world of suspense and deadly danger, with no real idea what's going on. And it's all very funny. That's the premise of the grammatically inept The Wrong Mans (ABC1, 10.02pm), a comic suspense thriller in which the humour derives mostly from the ordinary man at the centre of extraordinary events being even more ordinary than most ordinary men are.
James Corden, who memorably teamed up with Ruth Jones to create the much-loved Gavin and Stacey, has found a new writing and acting partner in Mathew Baynton, and once again Corden has written himself into the role of one of life's losers.
As Phil, a 31-year-old mail boy who lives with his mother and spends his life organising fun events that nobody ever wants to attend, Corden is both the comedic engine of the show, and the excitable sidekick to Baynton's Sam, the leading man who wants nothing to do with the adventure that's dropped in his lap, but allows Phil's thirst for thrills to egg him on into the underworld.
......
If Corden's work with Gavin and Stacey was rooted firmly in the familiar and well-worn problems of human relationships, The Wrong Mans is a flight of fancy, throwing its characters into a mad maelstrom of a plot, like North By Northwest in miniature. It works mainly due to the chemistry between Corden's wannabe crime fighter and Baynton's reluctant hero, the one dreaming of glory and the other wishing he could just go home.
It goes to show how thin the line between comedy and drama can be: you could make a genuine thriller with an identical plot, just by making the two leads less silly. Thank goodness they didn't.

This will give you some idea of what has occurred over the first 3 seasons of GOT.

Hmmm, I'm so glad I paid for private school |
She's not wrong. After watching TWD I now feel I am fully prepared for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. And I can't wait! I also regularly dream it's already happened and more often than not my weapon of choice is a rabbit ear tv antenna. Works a treat!
Bring it on! |
In last night's dream I found myself trapped in a bathroom so used a toothbrush.

I liked Sean of the Dead. Cricket bats, LP vinyl records etc. I'm not sure I want to know how to disable a zombie with a tooth brush. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
