The Brady Bunch was quite good, I thought. Very sly, and not a straight-up remake. I mean, the bell bottoms are the point-- those people are transplanted into the nineties, which made them complete dorks.
I'll be in my bunk.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Very sly, and not a straight-up remake.
Sounds like Starsky & Hutch except they weren't transplanted so much as the audience was reminded of the time gap. Definitely not an immersive experience.
Plus, slash.

Punishingly Intricate
Among the shows reportedly being considered for a big-screen version is The Office, starring Ricky Gervais.
But..but...the end was so perfect.

Always Anti-fascist!
I thought S&H was pretty funny, despite not seeing the show in a really long time. If you've seen any similar cop show, the tropes still work to make fun of.

Ahrg. IT doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word URGENT. 2 days. Ah well, I'll be gone and if stuff doesn't work, it is their fault.
But really.

Running Scared (the Hines/Crystal one) is one of the better films at showing off Chicago in memorable ways--the car chase on the L tracks (remember to avoid touching the third rail!), and the big finale in the Thompson Center Helmut-Jahn-designed lobby.

Lisah's already been here, but, seriously, why? How could they possibly improve on where they left things?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm really liking the US The Office, but the UK one skeeves me out a little, from the bits I've seen.
I LOVE SUMMER FRIDAYS SO MUCH!! I had lunch with Tom and bon, went to Century 21, and was still home before 5. ROCK.
