TV/Movies Megathread

CBS is remaking Odd Couple.

SON OF A BITCH

Well, look on the bright side:  they've already cast Felix--and if anybody can be a tight-assed OCD goofball, it's Matthew Perry. 

Still,

STOP RAPING CHILDHOODS DAMMIT

[Razgovory]

So, one day before last New Year's Eve the fuses in my apartment blew out. I started panicking as this was one day before a party I was hosting and called my dad and started screaming how he needs to get some handyman here quickly because nothing works and this is just INSANE. Dawid calmly took the phone away from me and explained to my dad what the situation was and what was needed. Later, when we were waiting for the handyman to arrive, Dawid had this idea that we should remove the safety thing from the fuse board and check each fuse switch individually. It didn't work. Later, when the handyman arrived he told me that we were lucky the entire board fried before we tried the Dawid's idea, because if it was operational at the time, we would have probably caused a fire.

I need to befriend a lesbian. 

Is screaming at people when you break something something that all gays do?  Cause that's what my brother does.

[Ed Anger]

Mart screeches, twirls his hands and wets himself.

[CountDeMoney]

Shit gets broken.  Dawid gets slapped, that wascal.

I don't scream for things like that. The last time I remember screaming was in college when a flurry of spiders (there must have been a spider nest that they hatched from) descended from the ceiling. My roommate started laughing and shortly thereafter I nipped my screaming and arachnophobia in the bud.

Damn, that's creepy.

Don't think I'd scream though. Manly shouts of terror maybe

Depending on whether you're talking about the play, movie, or tv show, the Odd Couple is 40-50 years old.  How old are you that this is raping your childhood?

Television syndication and I walked hand-in-hand.

Bring back Carter Country and Sheriff Lobo re-runs.

[CountDeMoney]

And 2 hours of M*A*S*H before the local evening news.

[Ed Anger]

And after the news, Love, American Style.

American TV Executives do not get European humour. Film at 7, 8, 11 and a featurette at 12.

FTFY

I think you either need to remake it for American audiences (All in the Family, Veep, The Office) or just play the British one. Transliterating episodes doesn't work just because we share a language.

Idris Elba

[Sheilbh]

Yep

Other thing is I actually can't think of any other actors of the right age who'd do Bond better.
