"Come Get Some": A Spaced Thread.

[Reply #120 on:]

Has anyone seen Spaced DVDs' in Australia?

[Reply #121 on:]

As far as I know, you have to import them from the UK.  Mikey's seen VHS Copies of them, but DVD's, I'm not sure.

CDWOW has the DVD's for £6.99 (or $16.90AU, which is cheap as chips).  I'm pretty sure they send to anywhere.

EDIT:  I checked, free worldwide delivery.

[Reply #122 on:]

I got an E-mail yesterday from CD WOW, my order has been dispatched.

Now I have something new to watch over the weekend.  if it comes that is....

[Reply #123 on:]

Spaced seems like a really good show. Too bad that I live in America so I can't get the DVDs or watch it on TV

[Reply #124 on:]

I think Spaced is a fantastic series. Very funny too, did it get placed in the BBC's top 100 sitcoms?

[Reply #125 on:]

I like the cartoon version of the group, especially Marhsa!

Around 81, I think.  Which isn't bad for a relatively new show, with a cult following.

Coilette: I love the cartoons too.  I love the ones on the S2 DVD, so much so that I made a "Mike" Avatar a while back, and never used it.


"Say hello, to my little friend!"

[Reply #127 on:]

That Mike avatar is great! I never knew he had a pair of pink pistols. 

[Reply #128 on:]

Spaced got to 56 or 66 in the best sitcom thing, I can't remember exactly. Anyway, like Melllvar said either one of those is pretty immense considering how unappreciated Spaced seems to be.

Can't wait for Shaun of The Dead by the way, no matter what's been said about it Im simply expecting a film length Spaced episode!

[Reply #129 on:]

I grin every time I hear about Mike's Sherman Incident in Disney Land.

[Reply #130 on:]

Tim: None of us has ever done anything like this before, apart from Mike who, as we all know, once stole a tank and tried to invade Paris.
Mike: Hello!

 

Mitsui: Yeah, me too, every clip I've seen is very Spaced-like.  Only six days to go.

[Reply #131 on:]

Got it, watched it the first series that is...

Tires is the best in the episode where they all go clubbing. Brilliant.

The scene where he hears the phone ringing and the beat kicks in with him thinking it sounds like a rocking tune and and then he starts bopping  so true... 

[Reply #132 on:]

"I just wish I could control these fucking moodswings!
So anyway..." 

The eighties club scene was a crack up...
"Come on, Illene, Too-loo-ry-a!"

One of about four eps I've seen. 

[Reply #133 on:]

I like it when the A-Team comes on and everyone starts dancing.

Tyres: My work here is done..... *cough*

[Reply #134 on:]

One of the oft-requested things in Spaced is that A-Team dance tune, except that it never existed.  It was made-up by Guy Pratt (Spaced Music-Bloke) especially for the show and was has never been available.

Check out the awesome Fader Gladiator - "Battle Of The Planets" in the episode where Colin goes missing (the scene where they're about to go on the rescue mission).  That's awesome.

In the commentary, they say that Tyres' dancing to the phone/kettle/etc was MixMags best TV scene of that year.  Which was awesome.  He does it again in Season Two with the traffic lights.

"Last night was A1, tip-top, clubbing jam fare, it's a sandwich of fun on extacy bread all wrapped up in a big bag like disco-fudge, it doesn't get any better than that...."

Pegg always said that he liked to give Michael Smiley (Tyres) long complicated speeches, just to see him fuck it up.   

[Reply #135 on:]

Mellvar do you know any other music from the series. I know Mr Scruff featured a lot in the show, I wonder if there is a CD released.

Watching the DVDs makes Spaced even better, the commentaries are so funny.

[Reply #136 on:]

There was a CD released of Series One's music, but you'd be hard-pressed to find it now.

  :one quick trip to spaced-out later:

Here's the S1 music rundown.

I just saw Shaun Of The Dead today. What I want to know now is do we use this thread to talk about it, or can we create a new one specially dedicated to it?

[Reply #138 on:]

Use this thread. But spoiler tags, I have a tiny hope of seeing it in the Cinema.

[Reply #139 on:]

I might go and see Shaun of the dead today. It depends on how I feel.

[Reply #140 on:]

I watched Shaun of the Dead yesterday. It's a great movie, I especially liked all the little 'Spaced' references. Like the Zombie Tyres and Julia Deacon as the other mum.
    It was also bloody scary, for me anyway. I'm a lightweight.

[Reply #141 on:]

A friend of my Mum says, and I quote:
"It's the most realistic Zombie Movie I've ever seen".

[Reply #142 on:]

I saw the movie today, and I loved it (was there ever any doubt?).  It was hilarious, like watching a 90 minute Spaced episode, but with more violence (much much more).  I'm gonna put my full review in the movie reviews thread, but needless to say, it was well worth the wait.

[Reply #143 on:]

I love Wright's style... the panning wipes, the whip pans, and every camera move seems to have it's own sound effect!

Yeah, me too.  On one of the S1 Commentaries, Wright does a fantastic narration of his directing on one of the pivotal scenes in the episode in which Colin gets kidnapped.

The scene in which one of the characters gets literally ripped apart by the zombies, has to be seen to be believed.

BTW, the movie's a 15 Nurdy, what's stopping you seeing it (apart from proximity, obviously)?.

[Reply #145 on:]

Show spoiler

Whip pan!

Crash zoom!

BAFTA!

[Reply #146 on:]

   Love it.

Which brings us to the SOAD/Spaced crossover reference No.1, as "Bafta" was replaced in the Spaced S2 commentaries by:

Show spoiler

Fried gold.

[Reply #147 on:]

I've seen Shaun of The Dead twice now. I'll see it again on Thursday, provided I can find another penny, then i start begging on the streets for cash to see it again

1: I think me and my friends might see it, but they're taking a dammed long time to get together.
2: I doubt I could scrape money together if this fails.

[Reply #149 on:]

Nurdy, tell your friends to try harder, dammit.  It'll be worth it.  Trust your uncle Melll. 

I want to see the movie again too, as I'm a subscriber to the fact that one appreciates it more the second time around.

[Reply #150 on:]

Simon Pegg... how the hell did that guy get into a movie?

~Posting Sporadically, Oh JOY~

[Reply #151 on:]

Well, when I write my movie, I'll cast myself in the lead role, and all my friends in supporting roles, because we'd all be perfect for the parts.

..and it'd be a laugh.

In other news, anyone spot the reference to 28 Days Later at the end of Shaun? Hilarious!

Actually, I think it's more impressive that he landed a part in Band Of Brothers.

[Reply #153 on:]

Which episode was he in?  I don't remember seeing him in the series.

"Reports that the incident was caused by a virus spread by Rage-infected monkeys has been dismissed as utter bollo-"

  Fantastic, that was.

[Reply #155 on:]

Oh, I so have to see this film again!

[Reply #156 on:]

I'd like to see it again but I'm afraid of the consequences (i.e lack of sleep).

The 28 Days later reference was fantastic.
I liked it when:

Show spoiler

Shaun and Ed smashed the Zombies heads in and then sit down with a Cornetto and a Diet Coke as if nothing had happened.

Forgot the spoiler tags earlier.

Are you that much of a wuss?

Yeah, if you're so scared of nightmares, sleep during the day.
