Absolutely nothing to do with fanfiction, but as I'm trying to explain, this group isn't *just* about fanfiction, fandom in this group can mean simply enjoying something and talking about it.

So! We Can Be Heroes! It's an Australian show, and it's a mockumentary. It was created by Chris Lilley, and he plays all the main characters. It's a ' ( Read more... )

Dangit. Can't watch 'em till after 2am, or before 12noon... and it's nearly 12noon ;[

But I remember when this was on TV! ;o!
Dismissed it and never actually gave it a chance, although I did see part of an episode once...

I really have been planning to watch the rest xD

Aw.
Lots of people dismissed it. :( I think it was really quite good. A bit squirmy, but he is really talented.

I LOVED We Can Be Heroes!! That show was awesome...bought the DVD!! Chris is so talented- I don't know how he got away with playing six totally different characters! Loved it!! :D

I love how in the Bloopers, it's obvious how much is improv, and how much he stays in character... he's really REALLY good at this. And making them all so totally different, and not just being about accent or whatever, but their gestures ... and it's so subtle, what he picks up on for his characters.

Yeah...he is one very clever guy!! :)

too bad that no one non Australian seems at all interested... :(

It is extremely good.

Maybe we can convert some people who have never seen it! :D

Well, hopefully. He's extremely talented. I'm really looking forward to his next project as well.

Everyone watch We Can Be Heroes - you'll laugh til your head falls off.

longlongwaytogo May 20 2007, 04:28:24 UTC

What's his next project?

I LOVE this show, and actually just rewatched it recently. Ja'mie reminds me of why I left teaching. What I loved most about the series was how it mixed pathos with humour in the final episode.

longlongwaytogo May 29 2007, 12:17:59 UTC

same here. I love how scarily accurate the characters are... *shudder* I knew girls like Ja'mie.
