Oof, we've heard (from people who wish not to be named, but who we're very grateful to for the info) that Nathan Barley series 2 looks like it is almost certainly going ahead. |
||||||||
|

|
|
HOORAY! if its true. |
||||||||
|

That's be excellent, one of the best series of recent times that really benefits from repeated viewings. |

GET IN |

I wasnt hugely impressed at first, but after repeat watchings I think its fucking brilliant |

it's funny yourself and other_dan say that, since it's the complete opposite of what your man on that site [and most of those who reply to his post] says |

I tried reading his rant but he seems to labour under the delusion that he knows more about Morris than Morris himself. Plus Nathan Barley is Morris and Booker. Nathan Barley is a caricature, slightly larger than life but not grotesquely so, he's pretty near the mark. The humour's very dark, it's in a unique setting, I think it has a great amosphere from the editing, the film quality, the camerawork, .. there's so many good characters and set pieces.. it works really well watching them all together. These fucking Morris expert bores take it all to seriously, there's enough duff moments in Day Today or Brass Eye as well as the genius, fucking bleating about how he's lost his touch. Like all good mavericks he's done something unexpected and pulled the rug from under even his most ardent fans, especially them. Because, to be honest, who'd want those fucking arseholes hounding you and claiming they knew you and understood your work? |

Well said dog_belch. I couldn't even read that article fully as the writer was so far up his own arse it began to leave a shitty taste in my mouth after the first few paragraphs. But it is to be expected from cookd and bombd, which despite being a decent Morris resource, also suffers from the rabid stench of elitest fanboyism. TDT and Brass Eye are done and finished. After the furore over the paedophile special, it's no wonder Morris hasn't gone back to that format since. |

First episode: Was none too impressed. Second episode: I was inlove. I can't wait for a second series. I couldn't be arsed to read that overlong diatribe because the writer came across as a complete cunt. Maybe he saw himself mirrored in Barley? The DVD of Nathan Barley is excellent too. The overdubbed episode is cracking. |

Well, once again, dan has eloquently put the point across. You cunt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah. it's a bit self-indulgent, really, isn't it? i mean, there's something to be said for being an autechre fanboi or whatever, but this chap comes off like that alan partridge fanatic in that episode of "i'm alan partridge".. i find nathan barley hilarious because i know someone who's quite like him, and i really, really like the way the ["normal"] characters in it are totally believeable and well-developed, and how they play off each other and interact. |

I tried to read that but I read enough sixth form bollocks when I was in the sixth form. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wrote a lot of shite like that too. Surely they should've grown out of it by now? They didn't like the show. Fine. That's enough for gods sake. Just report that you've been informed there's a new series and stop there. |

Bit self indulgent? That's like saying Hitler went a tad OTT on the old killing. It's pure fucking overkill. I wonder if they heard the jokes passing over their heads? The sycophants in the comments are pathetic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ha! Sorry, I am cunt though, you're quite right. I do really like the "Dan" character in "Nathan..", I do empathise with him, not just his kind of despair with "the idiots" but also the fact that he isn't all that talented either and a bit of a loser, not entirely likeable with a bit of a mean streak. Good man. |

I was waiting for you all night last night in my pyjamas, and you went and let Nathan do a fuck in your arse :( |

PREACHER MAN! |

It wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny as the tvgohome pieces, but very quite involving as a comedy-drama sort of thing. Julian Barrant is a great actor, I'd like to see him in more stuff. |
||||||||

|
|
ah, excellent news! i keep returning to the first series and, as most people have already said, it gets better each time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent news, again like most people the first time i watched i wasnt too impressed, but on repeated viewing it does indeed get better n better |

i can't stand morris other than the jam radio show which was great, so i guess i'll just shit up the thread with my post. on another note, i just saw the armando iannucci shows, and they're great. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
What did you think of Time Trumpet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i haven't seen that or brass eye yet, so i'm going out on a very unstable limb here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait, i thought that was barley, but was thinking of the day today. i haven't seen time trumpet, it looks interesting though. i didn't really like the clinton thing iannucci did. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
eh, morris, not barley, jesus christ. |
||||||||

Go out of the thread and come back in again. |

Spot on Dog_Belch! The whole CaB crew is also just like that. They thrive on criticizing their hero, it makes them feel alive, clever and important. They wind me up no end, thinking they know Morris better than himself, knowing what he really meant to do and here to tell him how he failed. All the talentless twats who act like they're the new shit as if they were writting a new BBC success comedy and reinventing the genre, when in fact all they are capable of is moaning on and on because Morris isn't feeding them what they want. GO DO YOUR OWN STUFF! I can't see these people enjoying stuff much. They've forgotten how to. |
