Inbetweeners USA
 

I'll be giving it a miss.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

August 20 to give it a go. I just think of Episodes.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Do not want.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Does look dross...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Depends what the female contingent is like - didn't one of the UK ones end up as hot totty in FHM or some other magazine?

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Will's too handsome, and Jay looks like he has down's.

Considering Skins US was dookie butter, this will probably be so, too.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

And it'll be canned before being given a chance....but it'll also be far to tame that no one will bother with it that knew the original, but be to much for anyone who didn't know what it was based on.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I'll stick with the originals thanks. Why do they insist on remaking crappy versions of shows that are pretty much perfect as-is? Bleh. :frown:

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I got yelled at by my wife for saying this back when I first heard it was planned (when we were in the middle of watching it on BBCA for the first time) but I'll say it again - it just won't work. It's too British, relates too much to a British school experience. Schools here are too shit to be funny.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Skins, Coupling, now this.... all crap. (don't bring up Red Dwarf, I'm trying to ignore it).

/grumpy

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

They tried to do Men Behaving Badly as well, believe it or not ...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

*cries* That's just wrong.

I am inspired to dig out the DVD's now though. :)

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I have 'em all at home, ready to be watched at a moment's notice. I really should get a region free DVD player though, 'tis a pain in the arse trying to watch them on my computer :lol:

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Yeah, I picked up one from amazon. only gave about 40 bucks for it. very handy.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

There was a half decent looking one people were talking about on here recently. Should probably just go ahead and get it, really.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

This is what I'm using right now to play all of my old stuff. It works well... No issues with it at all.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

or put the money toward a streamer and rip and stream, that way no new money on old technology.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

+1.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

That sounds like a pain in the arse.

I still listen to records, myself. 'Old' technology worries me not.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Just don't put it on your knob and bollocks ...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

If it's on HBO, it might be good. If it is on any of the free or basic cable channels then it will be crap.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

MTV

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Shite, then.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

lol

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

And Ab Fab...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Because most Americans can't understand all the slang we use so decide to create their own version. I watched the UK version of Skins on BBC America, it had subtitles!! You'd have thought by now they would have learned not to mess with something that works so well. :frown:

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I thought the BBC original was great. I was their age 40+ years ago but it still held true for those times. I'm laughing now just thinking of some of the scenes. My wife who is American didnt see the funny side of it at all. Did it relate more to us neanderthal men.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

My (USC) wife loves a lot of British comedy (Men Behaving Badly etc). The only issue might be with certain accents, but she's put up with my shows so long now that I think she can handle most anything.

Considering auf wiedersehen atm, but that might be a bit much. We shall see :D

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

What will be worse? The US version or the film?

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

SO depressed right now...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I'm guessing the film, as from what i've heard, it's actually pretty funny.

Here's the trailer, just don't watch it at work, or when the kiddies are around...

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Thanks for the clip :)

I would love this to be good. It's the funniest show on TV for years imo.

Somehow, when they turn a good TV show into a movie it either comes across as forced and like they are trying too hard, or it's something that would have been a great 30 minute episode but is stretched out to an hour and a half. (Lookin at you Mr Bean).

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

The best way to approach it would be the way they did with Family Guy - essentially stitch three would-be standalone (but thematically linked) episodes together to make one 90 minute film.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Yeah.. That would work. We must be due for some show to survive intact.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Unfortunately, the movie wasn't very good. The trailer was all the best bits.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

:frown: Now I'm just sad again.

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

It's like when Liverpool finish 8th in the league. You knew what was going to happen at the start of the season but you still held on to the hope that they would finish 1st again :lol:

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

I DID have hope. faint, flickering.... Then Bob came along and crushed it.

Bob.. Destroyer of Dreams. ;)

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

We never learn, do we?

:lol:

Re: Inbetweeners USA
 

Are we at the blaming people stage yet?
