Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy.

Colm Meany is going to be in the US Life On Mars.

I don't understand the need we have here to Americanize all these great British shows (although The Office US is excellent)(and are we really Americanizing it if all the actors are British?), but I think that is an excellent casting choice.

I really need to get around to watching the second season.

Please tell me he is not Sam Tyler.

And why can't we just show the BBC version of Life on Mars? It's so fucking awesome.

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

No, Sam is going to be played by Jason O'Mara (I think that's his name). Colm is going to be Gene Hunt. While I'd prefer the BBC version, I think that bit of casting is pretty good.

Hmm. I am uncertain if I can accept him as Gene Hunt. I can see it, but I'm so used to the other one.

At least I think that they could do a respectable job of LoM.

But this whole Viva Laughlin thing...no. Just no. Blackpool was awesome, and just so British. They should have let it be.

OMG, is that what Viva Laughlin is supposed to be? I had no idea. I haven't gotten around to watching Blackpool yet. I have it, but dude, you should see how much stuff I have on here to watch.

Yeah, I'm used to the other one too, but if they had to remake it at least it's with an actor I like who I think can do a decent job of it.

Yay for Colm Meany. I am a sucker for most Star Trek actors.

And yeah, that's what Viva Laughlin is supposed to be. This guy is David Tennant's part (http://imdb.com/name/nm0935721/).

YOU SHOULD WATCH BLACKPOOL. If only for the Tennant tongue porn. I mean, it's totally worth it for the ice cream cone scene alone.

I have heard of the wonder of the tounge porn in Blackpool, but I want to finish LOM first. And I started Casanova the other day and need to watch the other two parts still.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

Casanova is just straight out porn. Seriously, I'm pretty sure he shags like twenty women in that movie.

(I have Casanova on DVD.)

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

It is pretty much just porn. I was watching the first part on my computer and I had to put my headphones in. I was afraid my mom or someone would come up and want to know what the hell I was watching.

And to think, in Britain, it was played on BBC1 and BBC3.
