It was very good I thought, it just didn't feel like a proper movie. More of an ITV Christmas day special....except funny.

There seems to be a rule, that all British films have to have really dull storylines

Because people have been raised on Eastenders....theres no aspiration in this country. Hot Fuzz did so well because it pulled on Americanism for its high points. It may have parodied US stuff but even a US parody is more fun than a normal UK attempt.

Doent matter what you watch - Apprentice, Big Brother, etc, etc the US stuff is just 100 times more fun/bigger/sexier.....and movies need that.

Someone said earlier about "more fucking superhero films" - i saw Iron man last week...thousand times better as a cinema experience than anything we could turn out.

Anyway, digital TV still needs a format to broadcast in!

They do it's called HD and I'm watching "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" on it right now and it's awesome!

Digital TV is not the same as HD. And HD still needs a format to be broadcast in.

I just find the whole of modern cinema to be so fucking self-indulgent. Very rarely is there a film of any worth. It's just having your wallet raped to sit through 90-120 minutes of something which probably won't have any continuation.

That's why I love sitcoms.

HD is a form of digital tv and I was actually watching that film on the movie network, hence I was watching it on cable television. I'm now watching CNN HD.

You can be sure there will be a continuation of Iron Man. Anyone watch after the credits when Sam Jackson shows up as Nick Fury agent of SHIELD? Awwwesome I cheered in the theater with a bunch of other nerds.
But yes I see what you're saying Aaron I like Sitcoms and dramas because they are continuous stories but what I don't like about a lot of them is that they often do not have a planed ending.

No it's not! HD has nothing inherently to do with digital TV!

HD is resolution.

Digital is a broadcast method.

PAL and NTSC are broadcast formats.

From Wikipedia

Quote:

High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). HDTV is digitally broadcast because digital television (DTV) requires less bandwidth if sufficient video compression is used.

My problem with Magicians was that there was plenty of Mitchell and plenty of Webb, but not much Mitchell and Webb. Does that make any sense? Hope so.

I think this is the perfect review of the film... well put.

So what was the last funny British comedy film then? I'm struggling to think of a recent hit...
(Son of Rambo is meant to be ok?, I've not seen it though)

Hot Fuzz?

I really hope Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is funny.

Nick Fury is never black though.
