You can borrow mine if you like...

It got mentioned 2 or 3 times on the last page, but still - once again - I'm from Perth.

[Reply #564 on:]

Are you getting rugby instead of Futurama there?

[Reply #565 on:]

Hey! everyone in perths powers out! 125, 000 houses powers out state wide! w00t!

[Reply #566 on:]

My power's fine, although it did go out for about 20 minutes at 1:30-ish. Western Australia has been having constant powercuts all year because the WA power company have been making adjustments or something, I dunno. All I know is that it's really beginning to annoy me. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

And, yeah, Zoidyzoid - instead of Futurama we get sport.  Boo to Channel 7! The asshole of the world!

[Reply #567 on:]

But its roy and HG doing the dream but for the rugby world cup! Its gonna be awesome!

[Reply #568 on:]

Meh... sports.

[Reply #569 on:]

Hey Beamer, where in Perth are ya....?
And yeah sports definately meh, especially when it takes over Futurama....!

[Reply #570 on:]

I like sport, and I like Roy and HG, but it still pisses me off when they take the place of Futurama.

Any Melbournians (or other states, but I don't know if you're getting it) watching The Simpsons Extravaganza right now? I like the episode Girly Edition, which is what they're showing at the moment, but all the crap 10 is using to fill time between episodes is really annoying.

[Reply #571 on:]

^^^agreed^^^

[Reply #572 on:]

I'd rather have Roy and HG than Futurama...

*is beaten*

Majority of Aussies are from Perth from what I've seen. Put your hand up if your from Perth .. or not, whatever

Sorry for my previous post. I didnt know that there were more Aussies here.

[Reply #574 on:]

Oh I'm from Melbourne.

And I am watching the Simpsons thingo on right now... the rugby is boring.

[Reply #575 on:]

That 'Simpsons Extravaganza'? The Dead Zone was on during that, so of course I watched it for the gabillionth time. What was on the Simpsons thing? Any good eps?

[Reply #576 on:]

Yeah, they are all classic ones.
Mojo The Helper Monkey/Kids News was on before, and the one where Homer skips church is on at the moment.

[Reply #577 on:]

Not too bad at all, the trivia was harder than most TV trivia things... Doesn't quite top the old FOX8 Fanfest about 1 1/2 years ago, that was good. But for FTA this was a nice change.

[Reply #578 on:]

Try 3 years ago rage! The Simpsons fanfest was september 2000, same 2 weeks as the sydney olympics

[Reply #579 on:]

I liked that Simpsons thing (although I wouldn't have picked those episodes for), but god were the in-between bits annoying. The 2 "actors" hosting it were NOT funny at all, the trivia questions were as easy as piss (besides the third one about Homer's operation) and why the hell would anyone give a crap about which episodes the people from Australian Idol or Ralph magazine like?!

They could have easily filled that 2 and a half hour period with 5 episodes, but instead - they had to waste half an hour on pointless and annoying crap. I mean, the people who they were interviewing were complete nobodies who didn't even know anything about the episodes. One girl even said "I like the episode when they go to Duff land, and Lisa drinks the water and sorta trips out and stands up and says 'I am the lizard queen!' and everyone looks at her weirdly and then the robots attack." I mean - first of all, she didn't even say "I am the lizard queen" until right at the end, and NOBODY looked at her weirdly when she said it. And the attacking robots weren't even from that episode, they were from the Itchy & Scratchy Land episode! Dumb bitch...

Anyway, the in-between bits aside, it was pretty good. I don't have Foxtel, so I can't compare it to the FOX8 Fanfest, but still - they did have some good episodes, and it was great to watch.

[Reply #580 on:]

Every year around chrissie the simpsons have like a summer marathon where the whole week is just simpsons eps, SO there channel 10.....

pfft channel 10 pfft

[Reply #581 on:]

This summer marathon you speak of, it be on FOX8, no doubt?

[Reply #582 on:]

It has been for the last two years..

[Reply #583 on:]

Hurrah - I just finished watching Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV, which means I've now officially seen every Futurama episode! Wooooo! Bend Her sucks!

[Reply #584 on:]

I beat you by a few days, I watched the last two episodes (the only two I hadn't seen) on Thursday.

And Bend Her does suck, for sure.

You must be so proud.

I just saw that Iron Chef thing on SBS. Funniet show ever. They really should use subtitles, because the American voice overs are a joke, but I suppose it adds to the comedy of it all.

[Reply #587 on:]

It's still not coming on for another hour in Perth. Damn you, timezones!

[Reply #588 on:]

How funny is it meant to be? Is there an element of seriousness?

I caned you both in seeing all the episodes, so 
Also, what did you think of BSNBAOTV? I thought that apart from a few redeeming moments it was terrible.

[Reply #589 on:]

Sunday, Oct. 12, 6.30am - Channel 9: Siegfried & Roy


One question, Why?

[Reply #590 on:]

Breaking news: Kill Bill will be rated R-18+...... Crap.

[Reply #591 on:]

fuck, I hope volume 2 isnt, Ive seen a few scenes of kill bill and it looks the buisness.

[Reply #592 on:]

EDIT: My post didnt make sense.

[Reply #593 on:]

It most likely will be, but you can only hope.
Screw it... I'll see it at the movies some how.

[Reply #594 on:]

They generally want an adult or someone who is over 18 with you if its an R-18+. If that dont work .. slip 'em an extra $10 for it

may work..

I actually quite enjoyed it. I'm not sure why, as it wasn't very funny - but the episode had some very good charisma about it that made it really enjoyable to me anyway. Also, the Network Execu-bots were hillarious. *rolls dice* "Game shows are back!"

I dunno it think there pretty strict when it comes to people under the age of 18 entering an R rated movie. I can get into in MA movie but only if i'm accompanied by an adult so i doubt i can into an R movie. Any way i might as well try slipping him an extra ten bucks like you said.

[Reply #597 on:]

I love it when people take my advice.

[Reply #598 on:]

Bribery? I'm shocked and disappointed!
Not really, but I highly doubt it'll work

[Reply #599 on:]

I thought BSNBAOTV was a good episode, and it had a lot of funny moments.

Soo... did any of you watch the Iron Chef thing last night?
