One of these days, I'm going to have to give Run Fatboy Run another chance. I watched about fifteen minutes of it a few months ago before turning it off. I rarely ever shut things off after so short a period of time, but I just couldn't take it. I seriously don't understand how something with a cast full of actors I love (Simon Pegg, Dylan Moran, Thandie Newton) and such great writers (Michael Ian Black and Simon Pegg) could be quite so unappealing to me. There was just no hook whatsoever. I initially only watched it for Simon Pegg, but I've been watching Black Books (since the fourth season of The IT Crowd doesn't start until May, apparently, and I am going crazy waiting for it) recently and, yeah, Dylan Moran is basically fantastic. So. I need to give that another shot.
And I just watched the trailer for the remake of Death at a Funeral, and I was originally going to give it a chance, but since it is a complete and total ripoff of the original (which only came out, like, two years ago), I won't be seeing it. That, and they replaced Alan Tudyk with James Marsden. James Marsden is hot and everything, but Alan Tudyk is Alan Tudyk. No one can show him up.
