AMERICAN LIFE ON MARS TRAILER

http://www.news4jax.com/entertainmenttonight/16252995/detail.html

I MAY NEVER STOP LAUGHING

The weird thing is, that actually doesn't look too terrible. When it comes out, I'll give it a try.

Wow! What I think this is going to be is a mellower version of the series. I thought Meaney was brilliant casting as Hunt, but based on the preview, he doesn't look as aggressive.

TOTALLY THERE.

Ahahahahaha. Oh, this looks like it's either going to be awesome or awesomely bad.

I had to turn it off half way through ))): No, it doesn't look terrible, but to hear them talking about someone else as Sam Tyler? I cannot handle it. And I hate that Colm Meaney, an actor I actually quite like, is playing Gene D:

Oh dear! Um, hilarious in its contrast to the original.

I would never have watched that if I didn't know what the show could be like. But this continues to intrigue me...

Keep in mind, Mainstream USA won't be comparing it to the original, so it may do quite well here.

I've never seen the original myself.

I'm not a fan of cop shows, but I do like Colm Meaney. So I may check it out.

Is it really fair to judge the show based on one preview clip?

It's Chief O'Brien!

Erm.. I don't know if I can stand watching the show without John Sim. I might implode.

Just found out a TV network in Spain is also producing a remake.

With the bonus that Spain in the '70s was still a dictatorship under Franco.

Now *that's* gonna be fun...

Huh. Colm Meany's not bad casting, but that other guy???? Nope. Interesting that they have two Irish actors playing the leads. Guess they couldn't find any American actors who could actually act. (As an American I'm allowed to say that...)

Aw, man. Yet another reason to be totally embarrassed by my country. D:

when i clicked on the link and tried to watch the video, it crashed my browser.

a message from the gods, i feel.

Argh! I'm not sure if I should find that terribly funny or terribly bad, or both.

One question to non-British or European watchers of the original: did you find it difficult to understand the accents and where you able to relate to what's been shown?

We're in the States, and loved..loved...LOVED watching the British version. No problems with the accents at all. Every once in awhile, there were words we didn't know and crimes or events or old TV shows we didn't know, so we kept wikipedia handy. We had the feeling we'd get a lot more out of it if we were British, but there was plenty for us to get. And the craft, how it was made...period costumes, tight camera work, period music woven in...ooooh....so great. They made all of the characters real to me. Watch!

This is a travesty, an undeniable offence against nature that must not be tolerated.

Well, it might not be that bad. But yeah, part of the charm of the original series is that Sam is so vulnerable, and that's hard to pull off when you're six and a half feet tall and the same across the shoulders.

I don't know... I just don't know.

HOLY CHRIST ON A BIKE
I would like to apply for refugee status in the Commonwealth. This is just too much.
