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.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

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

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
big-screen version is The Office, starring Ricky Gervais
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.
