MacGyver Film Coming!
May 6, 2008
Today at Maker Faire 2008, MacGyver creator (and real life inspiration) Lee David Zlotoff announced he has a big budget MacGyver movie in the planning stages. Zlotoff mentioned he somehow ended up with the movie rights years ago (extremely uncommon), giving him full control over the film. While few specifics were mentioned, and no formal announcement has been made, its extremely promising that the man with the power to make the film is getting the ball rolling.
Revisting Bottom….
April 28, 2008
I have just started to re-watch one of my favorite TV series from my childhood/early teenage years, Bottom. Although a lot of the slap stick stuff doesn’t seem as funny now, the dialog is still well written (unlike my blog) and performed perfectly. The way the characters play off each other so well is what I think kicked up my interest in comedy duos from a young age and I have since gone on to enjoy Howard and Vince (The Mighty Boosh), Mark and Jeremy (Peep Show), Roy and Moss (I.T Crowd) and Matt and Rich (Snuff Box) amongst others. Like a lot of good Tv shows Bottom went on for a little too long and even produced a film (AVOID!!!). Bottom may not be as good as the Young Ones but its still one of Rick Mayall’s master pieces of sorts!
The clip above is a collection of “Best Bits” (according to whoever put it together) of the first series.
