I didn't rate static home Alan at the time, very much, and it's still not his best, but I like it a lot more. Give it time.

Both series of I'm are incredible.

Film is the weakest of all Partridge.

Film was fine. I mostly like it because the out-the-window-trousers-down thing damn near happened to me irl

Yup posted about this in the film thread a while back, legit story

Lynn should never, ever stand over Alan.

It did jar, definitely, especially with the framing where her head was cut off, it made it look like he was at school and his mammy had come in to have a word with one of the teachers who'd been upsetting him.

Maybe she knows that this is Alan's one last chance to get big in the back time, knows how much it means to him and can sense his nerves so she's gone full badger rather than mouse, playing the ruthless, protective mammy role rather than the overindulgent servant.

These are probably the moments where Alan realises how much he needs Lynn and that she's ferociously loyal and willing to fight his corner despite how he behaves towards her.

They all know the character of Lynn, I refuse to entertain the idea that they've just made her a new persona to fit the show.

I don't rate Tim Key at all.
I've never found him funny and I don't like the way he is, the way he acts, the way his face moves and stuff.
He's not allowed in my wendy house.

When I said "I refuse to entertain the idea that they've just made her a new persona to fit the show.", I meant that to come across like I was trying to convince myself rather than me having a pot shot.
Just to make sure, I've seen people fall out over less!

I'm hearing you, I just hope you're not right!

The current clashing of heads between the terminally thick binary thinkers on the internet front-lines, the alt-right and the equally ridiculous new puritans is such fertile comedy ground, and Alan is the perfect conduit (not sure if right word) to make points or just have fun with the whole thing.

The line from the first show "A tumbledown farmhouse nestled in the cleavage of soft bosomy downs. Can you say cleavage? Can you say bosom? Might not be a woman, might just be a smooth, fat, teenage boy"

Was so good, the pull for Coogan to show the cogs and do a twitchy reaction afterwards must have been immense but I'm so glad he just let that one hang.

I thought the film was great.

I liked it more after a repeat watch but still thought it the weakest of an strong bunch. The highs are very high though.

Classic Kow

Kow used to be one of my favourites.

I watched the first twenty minutes of that then had to stop because I want Danielle to witness the mental with me.

Went down the Sumerian rabbit hole last night. Compelling stuff for some.

Finished Kims Convenience. Presumably season three is in the works?

Season 3 is airing in Canadia at the moment, a 4th season has also been commissioned.

Yes. I dont have Netflix right now (I cancel sub every now and then to build up a pool of content).

I wanted to watch that though after seeing the clip of them setup that experiment with the two walls with holes in and basically prove themselves wrong.

The Hbomb vid on flat earthers is good if you like his sort of thing

How thick do they think the earth is? Why doesn't one of them just dig down?
