Comments on: Take Me to Your Box-Sets… http://www.fustar.info/2005/10/06/35/ Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:37:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: fústar http://www.fustar.info/2005/10/06/35/#comment-63 fústar Fri, 07 Oct 2005 12:50:35 +0000 http://www.fustar.org/2005/10/06/35/#comment-63 Monsieur Artois, You force me to reconsider my rash judgement...and, after downing my last bottle of summer wine, I now recognize <em>Bonjour Bonjour</em> (as you insist on calling it) to be a delightful, and subtle, play on the idiosyncrasies of our French and German friends. And to think I'd previously viewed it as an infantile manifestation of crude British stereotypes, married to an endless stream of knob and tit jokes. How wrong can you be? I now look forward to the season 3 box-set which, I believe, comes free with a beret made of garlic and a large, inflatable swastika. Can't wait! Monsieur Artois,

Hellraiser 4 was set...in Space, as the fourth installment of any horror franchise always should be. And, as is becoming more common, hellraiser 8 is set...online. It's a good example of brand loyalty. They bear little resemblance to the original movie. Safe in the knowledge that Doug Bradley can't get work anywhere else and horror fans will watch any old crap as long as theres tits, gore and pinhead.

Are you daring to suggest that my popular 1980's television show 'bonjour, bonjour' (as it is now called in it's re-edited politically correct form) appeals merely the deranged? Whatever next? 'Last of the summer wine' "isn't very funny"!? In fact, the original dvd box set issued in a plain bageutte sold over 230 copies. So successful, that "much of the original cast is in negotiations to appear in a revival of the stage show of 'Allo 'Allo for a Norwegian tour next year". Apparently.
