Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

I still can't believe that Naveen Andrews is the same guy that I lusted after so long ago in The English Patient. Kudos to JJ for bringing him to our TVs.

Anyone who requires hot Naveen Andrews gaying up punk rock action needs to get hold of the DVDs of the BBC TV series Buddha of Suburbia. Plus the theme song is the best thing Bowie recorded after Absolute Beginners.

I agree with those who are finding the constant near-identical flashbacks a teeny bit predictable. I'd like to intersperse them with life-on-the-island eps.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Buddha of Suburbia

Is that from a Hanif Kureishi book? Why does that name sound so familiar to me?

Yeah. Or possibly the TV show came first, I can't recall. It's Kureshi's semiautobiographical acount of growing up in Bromley in the 1970s and fucking Billy Idol the rise of punk. It's bloody brilliant, and basically made Naveen Andrews.

Dude, I love that book. I don't know how I missed that it was also a movie, but now I know what I will be scouring my video store for this weekend...

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

It was actually a BBC mini-series, not a movie. Might be tough to track down...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it's available on home video (for NTSC/Region 1), it'll be at bbcamericashop.com.

And there it is. VHS only.

there's a new dentist in my dentist's practice that looks like Naveen Andrews... I am considering switching from my currently also-handsome, but in more of a american highschool quarterback way, dentist. Hm.

That's weird, right?
