sounds like a blast by PrincessLeias_Poohole	Jul 28th, 2008 04:09:19 AM
Wish i could have been there, love Spaced
Didn't get to go, nor to the Arclight screening... by Sherman_Lives	Jul 28th, 2008 04:37:00 AM
...but I went to Lazer Blazer/J&SBSS for the signing. It was a treat to get Jess's autograph on my copy of Confetti, and to reminisce with Edgar on how Eli Roth crashed the Shaun Q&A at Comic-Con '04. My biggest disappointment was when Simon told me he wasn't working on Ant-Man with Edgar--"I'm too old to be Ant-Man!" Then WHOM, Edgar, WHOM did you have in mind for Henry Pym? No reason in the world he couldn't be a late-thirties/early forties Englishman (especially with that name!)...I mean, RDJ was 43 when Iron Man came out, and Norton was 38 when Incredible Hulk came out. Simon Pegg right now is 38. Avengers Assemble!

has its downsides - sounds like an awesome time.

Spaced Out by deanbarry	Jul 28th, 2008 05:13:43 AM
When is this series going to be released in Australia, damnit!!!! As for the Star Trek flick. Man, cannot wait. I love that trailer!
Man, I miss good Star Trek by kwisatzhaderach	Jul 28th, 2008 05:14:01 AM
Can somebody make some please? No, not you Abrams.
Everyone in the cinema doing the Slo-Motion Pantomine Gun Battle by TheBoyFromUlster	Jul 28th, 2008 05:49:29 AM
That just sounds embarrassing.....
Spaced SUCKS!!! by lost.rules.	Jul 28th, 2008 07:58:30 AM
ok, ok, obviously I'm joking.
Kwisatz: I already asked Nicholas Meyer if he would... by Sherman_Lives	Jul 28th, 2008 08:26:28 AM
...come back and revive the franchise "just one more time!" He told me Paramount hasn't contacted him. Shame.
That Spaced-Wild Bunch gunfight by O_Goncho	Jul 28th, 2008 08:54:36 AM
You must upload it. You must.

Have you even seen an episode of "Spaced"???
Was Jessica There? by Rando Calrisian	Jul 28th, 2008 10:03:53 AM
Would have loved to have gone to this screening. My wife and I have been watching the series on DVD for the last week. It has lived up to all the hype. There have been more than a few times in each episode that just toook my by total surprise. Very funny stuff indeed. Thank god McG isn't going through with the Spaced Rape. I mean, how could an American version possibly improve upon it?

If there's one thing ... by DeadPanWalking	Jul 28th, 2008 10:37:43 AM
... that's better than a show about geeks watching shows, it's a marathon viewing session of geeks watching a show about geeks watching shows.
check that by DeadPanWalking	Jul 28th, 2008 10:38:49 AM
... it's an article written by geeks read by geeks about geeks gathering to watch a show about geeks watching shows. This actually maybe works better for MST3K, but the odd meta reality is there.
SPACED is very funny by FILMFUNK	Jul 28th, 2008 10:49:26 AM
I prefer Father Ted. For me Father Ted is the Funniest thing ever written! even funnier than The Office, Fawlty Towers, Cheers and The Simpsons all rolled into one big comedy ballblob They should do a SPACED Movie though! Why don't they do a SPACED fucking Movie!? shoot it cheap and cheery like the Serieses. I'd see that because there can't be a Father Ted Movie I'd settle for a SPACED film Fuck!!! Just remembered PeepShow is better than SPACED! Peepshow is almost as funny as Father Ted! God sorry to piss on SPACED in a pro SPACED talkback! I love SPACED and I LOVE the Peg and the Frost and Jessica whatsit but everyone who hasn't seen PeepShow should do so! Harry watch Peepshow! your Geek love will implode!
TWO new Star Trek movies? by Lloytron	Jul 28th, 2008 10:54:58 AM
I missed that announcement.
Just got my copy by deadnotsleeping	Jul 28th, 2008 12:35:15 PM
and watched it over the weekend. Great show.
Testricals by Lloytron	Jul 28th, 2008 01:19:50 PM
I figured you'd be in here trolling at some point! Care to grow a pair and actually make an intelligent and reasoned point? If you don't like something then thats fine, but posting in every Spaced thread is just pathetic. If you don't like the show then don't post, and go back to your beloved Joey DVD box set instead. Or, heaven forbid, actually try to make a point without being a cock.
Last Night by justwestofaustin	Jul 28th, 2008 02:12:56 PM
I didn't think it possible to top the Guillermo del Toro event. Nor did I think it possible to render my meeting Kristen Bell down to a ho-hum moment. But last night the Alamo and Harry delivered. Sure, I left the place with Spaced, Hot Fuzz, the poster, and Shaun signed, spent nine hours watching the series, jumped to my feet and gave a bullet spray during the gunfight pantomime--but the best part of the evening?--sitting directly in front of both Simon and Edgar as they ooh'd and aaah'd, and what sounded like amazement at the crowd reaction. I heard a "They apparently liked THAT episode!," and "...perhaps not as much" at other times. Simon elbow deep in both nachos and beer. The only disappointment was not having Jessica there. But otherwise a great night.
Only motherly dedication by BDT	Jul 28th, 2008 02:49:59 PM
could have made me miss this one. That said, I did tear up a bit when I read the geeky glee in Harry's review. I love Spaced and was sorry to have missed it. But I'm glad it was fun. When I feel sad, watching a couple of episodes cheers me up... So that audience must be the happiest group ever to leave the theater.
Sherman_Lives by ByTor	Jul 28th, 2008 03:56:57 PM
Well, seeing as how J.J. Abrams has a multi-picture deal with Paramount and is currently MAKING a Trek film, why the fuck do you think Paramount would contract Meyer? But hey, the collective intelligentsia of the AICN talkbacks has proclaimed that the Abrams Trek film will suck, so clearly that's what will happen. So I can see why you're worried about where the next good Trek might come from.
Whoa, there, ByTor... by Sherman_Lives	Jul 28th, 2008 04:13:47 PM
My conversation with Meyer was years ago, long before Abrams was in the picture. I'm actually an Abrams fan since Alias (never could get into Felicity) so I'm holding out hope.
Danniel DickBLood by FILMFUNK	Jul 28th, 2008 05:46:44 PM
Just fucking watch it and you'll see! You never know you might like it... Oh no, almost forgot, you HATE EVERYTHING!
what happened to jessica? by lex romero	Jul 28th, 2008 06:22:10 PM
Didn't she help write the shows episodes? And she was one of the main characters. She didn't seem to move to teh big screen with edgar and simon and never seems to be about at spaced stuff.
lex romero by wookie1972	Jul 28th, 2008 07:27:34 PM
I think Jessica just moved on... she's been in some pretty interesting stuff, including playing the mother in Son of Rambow (I barely recognized her). This happens.
Soylent Mean...Poster art... by BDT	Jul 28th, 2008 09:07:31 PM
It's cool and all, but where's the tank?
Just picked up my dvd by kingben	Jul 28th, 2008 10:43:42 PM
so stoked
KNOCK KNOCK 'Who's there?' 'Father Christmas' by Curtis Spicoli	Jul 29th, 2008 12:26:39 AM
This show was even better than I had been led to believe. How about a SPACED movie?
TWIGLETS ! by Dude_gimme_tabs	Jul 29th, 2008 05:22:37 AM
Twiglets are marmite-like crispy snacks and are the food of the Gods, right alongside Quavers and Frazzles. I love these snacks like Amy Winehouse loves crack !!
Marmite! by Lloytron	Jul 29th, 2008 07:11:37 AM
Marmite is a yeast extract that is great on toast or in a sandwich. Its very much a love/hate thing. Quavers are light cheesey crisps (or chips as you might call them!) Frazzles are bacon crisps (chips) that look like streaky bacon. All of the above are lovely! And very bad for you.
Chips ! by Dude_gimme_tabs	Jul 29th, 2008 08:44:32 AM
Chips are thick chunks of fried potato and served with fish, or kebabs on a Saturday night. Fries are thin potato french fries and Crisps are thin potatoes served in a sealed bag and come in flavours like salt and vinegar. And the only person allowed to use their hands during a game of Football is the goalkeeper !!!
best line of the evening by EKLIPSE	Jul 29th, 2008 05:41:31 PM
Bitches eat that shit up!
Thanks by joelvallie	Jul 29th, 2008 10:36:40 PM
Thanks Harry for getting me in to this mind blowing event.I'm just commenting now because its a hell of a long drive to get back to Mexico.
woot! by mcavity	Aug 2nd, 2008 10:20:49 PM
I had a blast. [I have been realy busy all week so this is my first chance at a talkback] Edgar and Simon were great! the phantom menace story was one of my favorite bits.
