Dude, your icon freaks me the fuck out! I swear, I can never blink in the presence of a statue again :|. That was an amazing episode. Go mr. Moffat! I didn't think he could ever top Empty Child, but this comes close!
And yay, another Coupling fan! *squishes you*
I need breasts with brains. I don’t mean individual brains, obviously... I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere... I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding.
Muha. Muahahaha. That's what it's meant to do. Hee. I think that part where he's trying so hard not to blink and it just keeps getting closer was one of the scariest bits ... One of them. I had to try to capture that via icon. *bows*
And, but of course. I own it all on dvd, I loves it so much. And Jeff, who is my favorite, and in my opinion, has all the best lines (like your quote!) - The sock gap, the giggle loop, having too many legs ... Except for Steve's rants. I adore Steve's rants.
I like naked women. I'm a bloke. I'm supposed to like them! We're born like that. We like naked women as soon as we're pulled out of one! Halfway down the birth canal we're already enjoying the view! It's the four pillars of the male heterosexual psyche. We like naked women, stockings, lesbians, and Sean Connery best as James Bond, because that is what being a bloke is! I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman at the end of that table there, but that does not stop me wanting to see several thousand more naked bottoms before I die, because

Hee, Steve's rants *pets him*! The throw pillows rant is one of my all-time favourites -- also because of the Dalek reference, of course! I saw the Amiercan Coupling pilot, which also had the lesbian spank inferno monologue, and dude, it sucked. Jack Davenport for the win!
The throw pillow monologue is possibly my favorite bit in the whole series, and that's saying something. Because I love the whole thing to pieces, even the last season when it got a little dodgy.
Yes. I watched two of the American Coupling eps, mainly because at that point it was already one of my favorite shows and I was outraged they were going to try to bring it to the States ... and of course it fell on its face. I'm both glad it did and totally unsurprised. In large part, I think, because they tried to copy everything from the original literally. I mean, even the actors were trying to move and act and look exactly like the Brit actors ... Which just didn't work. Because that show is far too BBC and so much of it just doesn't translate like that
( ... )
Yeah, it may have worked if they'd given the American version its own identity. I mean, I've never watched the American version of The Office because I love Ricky Gervais too much, but I hear it's very good, simply because it's different from the British version.
And I do think Doctor Who is much too British to be poured into an Americanized version. I mean, for me the whole appeal is that it has a completely different look on sci-fi. Torchwood may be slightly more acceptable for American audiences, but Who is just too Britishly-quirky (yes, that a word!) for that. Ahem. End of rant, for me too ;).
Perhaps. I was very doubtful about the Office - again, the first season was very much a bit carbon copied of the UK Office, but I think the actors really tried to make the characters their own (really, Steve Correll is a genius in his own right, just like Ricky Gervais is a genius in his) which I think is what made it a success. And then they took it in a different direction which made it much more wonderful, I think. Plus I think that it's a scenario that translates a bit better, if you know what I mean. I actually refused to watch the US Office for the first season because I loved Ricky and the UK office so much. But I finally watched an episode and found out I really enjoyed it because it found its own humor and its own characters instead of being a carbon copy

Hm, I may have to check it out then. I did love Steve in Little Miss Sunshine, after all ;). Oh and Britishly-quirky is so totally a word. Like 'heroicaller'. And 'republicifying your LJ entries'. *nods*
(Hee. Well, I had to have one. At least it's not freakishly scary. Like yours.)
