I'ma buy the whole 1st season. And it costs NOK 666,- how perfect is that :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's how much? btw, we're so far behind i havent even heard of those series... |
||||||||
|
|

I love this show. Its only bettered by the Sopranos. Say what you will about the Yanks, they make some great TV. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
and why the fuck am I unable to attach pictures? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll check that when they show it on our tv though i havent been watching series since the twin peaks... i saw some sopranos |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not about how much it is, tolstoyed, it's the fact that the series is about a funeral home, and the price is 666, often associated with death/hell etc, so the price really is perfect in regards to what the series is actually about :) |
||||||||
|

i see, havent thought of that :) |

I loved the first series and somehow managed to completely miss the second. Not happy about that. I'll get the DVD boxset soon..... |

we've just finished the 1st season here, and as far as I know, seson 3 is running in the states, so how come only seson 1 is out on dvd? t'least I couldn't find any other than season 1 on amazøn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I have no idea. I really don't. Are HBO generally slow on getting stuff out to DVD? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that could be it, I guess. Call me when you find out, aight? my number is 555-dick-hed :) |
||||||||
|

that show is bunk! |
||||||||
|
|

season 2 is on tv here.. |
||||||||
|
|

Second season in Finland too. This is such a great show. It deals with issues other shows never explore. For example gay Christian couples and the isolation of older people. Ruth kicks ass btw:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and last but not least, it deals with one of our greatest taboos ever: death |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How is death taboo, exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea, that's strange how death is such a shameful thing. It really shouldn't be. I guess this applies mainly to western cultures. In Chinese culture funerals are generally much more up-beat ceremonies than western ones. I feel funerals should be more of a celebration of the dead persons life. |

Ssssssssshhhhhhhhhh! That's not on! ;) |

Third Series was a bit of a let down... for me right now THE SHIELD is blowing both THE Sopranos and Six Feet Under out of the water... |
||||||||

Strong words flea. You better have a good show to back those claims up. |

Surely do Siree...Imagine.... Bad Leuitenant...THE SERIES.... |

and you are just scratching the surface..:) |

ask yourself that question, Jarworski. In western society, death is concidered a very negative and unnatural thing, when it is infact thee most natural thing on earth. Well, it is negative, I'll admit to that. But we are taught that death is something negative in our culture. Just look at how they 'celebrate' when people die in for example countries that practice hinduism - death is concidered a gift there, while here, it's concidered a punishment |
||||||||

I'll agree mostly it's considered negative in "Western society", although Christians would disagree. Unnatural? Punishment? No. That be crazy talk. |

I loved Six Feet Under's first two series but the third played out like a soap opera with Rachel Griffiths character missing for the most part, taking the edge away from the proceedings. The Sopranos is always solid but I was sad to see Tony's mother pass on (she died in real life). However The Shield really holds me to the edge of my seat and gets better as the story and characters develops. Its raw, ground breaking and edgy. Seeing gangsters behaving badly is somehow acceptable but seeing cops behaving worse than the gangsters is not only shocking but sadly true seeing that the show is based in LA and we all know about the LA cops.Here's a link to a |

Well, hopefully we'll get the Shield here in the UK. And NOT just on cable. I'll keep my eyes peeled. |

That's funny it was in Sight and Sound selling there on DVD in a advert |

I think it's concidered very unnatural. If it was concidered natural, it would also more likely have been concidered a bit more positive. It's the negative focus on death that gives it it's unnatural glow, like, "oh my God, death is so terrible, why does people have to die?". And by all means, it IS horrible to lose someone, I know, but if one could begin to accept the fact that people DO die because it's a way of life and that it is natural, then maybe people won't see it as so frightfully negative. It's negative because it brings out negative feelings. |

I used to read that in the library in 6th form. Nice magazine. My radar for new cultural thingys is not what it once was. But thanks for the heads up. |

We get it out of the library too, we practically have to wrench it out of the sweaty little paws of the film students here, but our advantage is that we live very close by and get in first :) |

I don't want to spoil it for everyone, but everyone gets killed whilst shagging each other in the last episode, but here's the twist - no-one's gay! And it was all a dream. Or not. Maybe it was. Who knows? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you certainly don't know shit, that's for sure |
||||||||

Here's the latest - Nate's gay but thinks his girfriend thinks he's bi-sexual. Josh dies performing anal sex with himself. Diane get's married to a chimp and has conjoined twins. Mario's wife gets a new dress. And Jessie has a dream that we think is real but later on discover it's not. Every single fucking episode. |
