Hey, I really like this poster. I give it a woo, a yay, and even a hoopla. Nicely evocative and appropriately seasonal (for the northern hemisphere, at any rate). Is it inspired by the breath-taking new series "Planet Earth" that's on BBC right now (or ABC in Oz I bet)? Cause, man, that episode where the monkeys rode polar bears into wars against each other was the best.
Hey, HBO are good I agree, but don't forget they also made that god-forsaken, useless pile of shite drivel that the coolsies loved to love: "Six Feet Under". I've still not forgiven them that. There are few ('drama') shows that make me want to kill my television more than that crapfest - although the self-consciously trendy "The Secret Life of Us" somehow achieves this lofty aim.
We had 'Part 1' of Planet Earth on the ABC, but we don't have it now. In fact the ABC is going to hell faster than I can possibly explain, but these twoarticles should give you an idea. ...oh, and this.
...don't get me wrong though: I love the idea that there will be less Will Anderson on television. That's long overdue.
I liked the few eps I saw of the first series of Six Feet Under, but I've never been a big fan or watched enough to dislike it. I like HBO for Deadwood, Entourage, the first season of Extras [how crap was season 2? So crap.] etc. I'd make some comment about how their shows prove that people still have the attention span for and desire to watch sustained narratives, but then someone will mention Neighbours or Home and Away and I'll wish people would catch on fire more than I usually do. =]
The poster is a reference to something, but I'll save what for email. Doing some freelance work at the moment, so it'll be next week before I'll have time to write properly... =\
miss_esmerelda and I were on the bus to work this morning. When it pulled into Civic, we saw the poster on one of those cylindrical poster things, and we both shared a chuckle.
I care about public servants. Particularly when they're within a 30m radius of both alchohol and myself simultaneously. No, sorry, I do not wish to converse at length with you about the nature of my hair. And ABC death death death. My parents bought a flat-screen. I think it is over a metre wide. Hooray daytime re-enctments of Victorian palace life. FULL-SKIRT TASTIC.
My favourite drunken public service moment came from when I had my lip ring. Some drunk public servant at a bar pointed at it and said "If I pull that will it hurt?" "Yes, because I'll punch you in the face." "Oh no man, it's cool. I'm only joking. I'm not just a public servant: I ride a skateboard blah blah blah I had cool hair once blah...."
I always thought The Flash was faster by the way. If I could resurrect my 10 year old self's brain, I could tell you in which issue/ series that was proved in, but alas...
