Damn it! Was gonna watch that FS. Did they get down and dirty...talk the good ol' days or was it more a composite of old and new?

The blonde young chick playing whatsherface Darling on Dirty Sexy Money is, there's no doubt in my mind, one of the worst actresses I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Lots of the show is excellent but she deflates it for me. Me thinks that's wot I get for choosing schmaltz over a true life mob story

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 10:54 am

that aspect was good - lots of interviews from these old ex mobsters, with lots of old footage and the like.

a great narrative too

"Met some stubborn fuckers in my time, but you take the piss"

Ramsay's a lol. Never liked him before but watched a bit tonight and he made me rofl

bourdain > ramsay. gordon's just clubbing monkeys in a cage.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:49 am

you fucking french pig. lol. clean up ya own kitchen ya cunt!

first time i reckon i've heard someone drop the C word on TV in a longtime.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 12:33 pm

Yup... Gordon dissapointed me last night - what a hypocrite!

He belittles people for arguing and swearing in front of customers, and then goes and yells 'fuck' repeatedly alongside 'cunt' at the head chef/owner in earshot of a full restaurant (including a food critic), then cracks the shits and storms off.

Hardly professional ol' Ram-Ram.

Still, entertaining to watch. I'm still waiting for Gordo to cop a stabbing...

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:13 pm

I liked it...

although Bourdain and Ram do totally different shows.....

I like them both the same, they just different..

I would not have appreciated the Cbomb in my dining room, but he did have it coming you could see a mile away that if it didn't work he was going to blame the 'new' menu was hell obvious...

Haven't seen the Bordain show.

The c-bomb was magnificent. Can't remember seeing that on TV before.

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:39 pm

I use the c bomb a fair bit.... But man he was loud about it, and he was right the guys was a wanker....

Bourdain is great..... we love him, although no more foxtel = no more travel and history channels..

WAAAHH

same o · Post by **same o** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:43 pm

Gordon Ramsay is nothin compared to one of my old head chefs..

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:45 pm

Ram is no worse than most.

same o · Post by **same o** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:34 pm

yeah only dif is he is on tv.

violent chefs are the worst.

never seen bourdain's show, have read his books though..
kitchen confidential made me wanna be a chef when i was a teenager.. lol

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:38 pm

ah his shows are great..... He is just him, so all teh smart arse comments etc etc that means...

And he really gets into the local food, mmmmm

yeah i have never had the displeasure of working with someone too violent.

ah chefs they are a bred on their own, that beinga good thing tho!

same o · Post by **same o** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:45 pm

yeah, my last head chef made me quit, and made me not want to go back.

he was an absolute CUNT!!!

but hey such is life, glad i am not doing it ny more. now i have a life

ramsay was fucking lol. pissed myself....nearly.

YOU FUCKING LAZY CUNT!!!

was a bit

at hearing the c-bomb dropped on channel 9 before 10:30 too.

Looking forward to Jeckyl on Sunday - James Nesbit from Murphys law is great, and the script is from a guy who wrote the best of the new Dr Who episodes - the one with the statues (blink) and the one with Mary Antionette (The girl in the fireplace). should be suitably creepy

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 1:13 pm

mmmm i am not a huge fan of Nesbit, but show looks interesting.... can i look past him?

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 1:17 pm

i like him, but havent seen him in anything other than murphys law - what dont you like about him?

oooh i loved the girl in the fireplace

the chick who played madame de pompadour was a bit of a spunk too.

Charlie73 · Post by **Charlie73** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 1:33 pm

i cannot remember the show he used to be in, and i think it was more his character that just wind me up....

Was not Murphy's Law, but cannot remember what it was...

However LOVED the new Dr Who so on that basis might check it out.... Although not a fan of tghe 2nd Dr.. prefered the first

Jekyl is a top show! I absolutely loved it, thought it was well written and especially well acted. I love shows that make you wanna see the next episode NOW!!

take that as a yes

yet to find a good place to check out the british shows - they are mainly too niche for such sites

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 8:08 pm

A friend gave me a CD about 6 months ago, you can borrowz if you like

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 10:08 pm

They've done something to Jekyll

The ABC's fucking around with the episodes, I think they're trying to chop and edit two episodes into one hour cause the story-line's not moving the way it's supposed to...going way too fast. WTF ABC??

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 11:03 pm

it went from 8.30 to 10.10 so that sounds like 2 episodes worth to me

yeah the abc site shows it as a compile of episodes 1+2 - the whole thing runs over 3 weeks not 6.

fuck i hope they havent cut out much - did it feel like there was stuff missing - id think that would be unlike them

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 7:53 am

There was HEAPS missing. It jumped from one episode to another like they were trying to make it easier for people to understand or something. I've Seen Jekyll a few times and it definitely wasn't right last night.

Sad

I haven't enjoyed as much as I wanted to.
The soundtrack seems pretty good, heard a few tunes played on 3RRRFM.

30 Rock is fucking funny.

And Donald Sutherland is the best actor on tv atm imo.
