Doesn't buffer for me, might actually get around to watching Entourage now!
But seriously, Important Things with Demetri Martin is ABSOLUTELY hilarious -my wife doesn't like geeky humour at all, but she's sat her pissing herself through the first two episodes of Season 2, she wants me to redownload Season 1. |

Started watching Friday Night Lights quite a while back when someone in this thread first recommended it. Definitely one of my favourite shows and although the focus on football slipped over the last couple of seasons, the characters really did grow on you. Just saw the final episode of the final season. wow

The much hyped "Leigh Hart's Mysterious Planet" was pretty much more of the same, and in some parts (ie the broken pen) a rehashing of old Sports Café bits. But with a globe full of patsies. I'm looking forward to the Roswell crowd recognising him from the Cryptozoology conference.

Has anyone seen the series "Free Agents"?
Just saw an ad on telly for it, looks good, but I can't seem to find any linux iso's for it.

I want more Survivorman. Man vs Wild is just horseshit compared to it tbh.
Don't like Bear as a host (what the fuck was that shit about him getting all soggy and emo in the jungle talking about how alone he felt - he's with a whole fucking camera crew). Dammit they should have kept the concept of survivorman going with some other survival expert, maybe with Les narrating or something. |

Bear is way more entertaining and covers off situations of extreme survival, rather than practical survival.
If you want to learn how to survive with limited experience and in complete isolation to any help, Les Stroud. If you want to learn how to do some pretty bad ass stunt style climbing/falling and have a laugh at the same time, Bear Grylls. Personally I think Les Stroud's show was a little stupid due to his need to constantly go back and forth for his camera equipment, having a camera man with him allows Bear to worry more about "How can I demonstrate a survival technique" - also, Bear doesn't spend half his episodes playing harmonica. PS... Everyone should give Spartacus a go, I've watched the first episode this weekend and then ended up getting all five and watching them back to back, very 300 in the way it's shot and presented, lots of tits, they say Cunt every episode and the acting is half decent considering the number of Kiwis on the cast. |

Yeah... I'm interested in seeing how he goes from timid house husband who gets a handjob on his birthday to bad-ass muthafucker though.

Just saw that Day of the Triffids got a 2 part mini series remake, I thought it was pretty cool. Watchable, not classic Sci Fi at all but killed a Saturday afternoon on the couch.

Yeah that screened on TV a few weeks back (the one with Eddie Izzard).
I think I missed part of the start and I'm ashamed to admit I've never read the book. Where did the triffids come from to start with?

I'm a fan of both the book and the first TV series and thought they did a pretty good job with it actually. Izzard was great as Torrence though :-)

I believe the reason he didn't take a camera man with him was because there was too much of a temptation to get handed a snickers bar or something by the camera dude when he was starving. Also the isolation aspect, being alone...that's what seperates him from Bear's show and makes his feel authentic. That said I'd still rather the show continued with a camera man rather than not continue at all. |

* Grylls was shown trying to lasso "wild" mustang in the Sierra Nevada that were in fact tame and had been hired from a trekking station nearby. * A scene where Grylls was purported to have escaped from an active volcano by leaping across lava, avoiding poisonous sulphur dioxide gas, was actually enhanced with special effects, using hot coal and smoke machines. * Similarly, another episode gave viewers the impression that Grylls "was a 'real life Robinson Crusoe' stuck on a desert island", while in reality he was on an outlying part of the Hawaiian archipelago and retired to a motel at night. |

Hence, demonstration of survival situations - not "Man pitted against insurmountable challenges in the wild"

Man vs Wild is a documentary - it presents survival situations in a dramatized way.
The same way that Mythbusters presents science solutions in a dramatized way. The same way that Dirty Jobs presents disgusting jobs in a dramatized way. The same way that Deadliest Catch presents King Crab fishing in a dramatized way, on and on and on |
