With better special effects and budget, of course, and minus the cursing!Mike B.

Badmike wrote:Ugh. That was a bad remake, for sure. But the American "The Office" is brilliant, albeit in an entirely different fashion than the British vesion. While the British version is great, the American version is flat out hilarious. I can't remember the last time a comedy with at least 2-3 laugh out loud moments every single episode came around. Carrell is incredible, and the characters of Creed and Dwight Shrute are classics. A lot of it is in the casting. The producers of The Office his a home run with pretty much every single character, which is rare in today's TV market. If the right people are chosen for the four main superheros, it could be a great show in the US.Mike B.

It was tired of rants from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and the well-dressed oil minister from Iran.

On the other hand, most bands nowadays sell tickets thru the Internet, so I don't HAVE to queue!This is for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet at the Novello, in London.Its starring David Tennant (Dr Who) and Patrick Stewart (Trek) and good tickets for the recent run at Stratford on Avon were like gold dust. I would think this shorter run in London will be even harder to get. Tickets go on sale at the box office tomorrow. Hence the overnighter.Got me beer, big warm coat, camping chair, tarpaulin, sandwiches, flask of tea and, of course, my towel! Cheers,Malc
