Just finished Slings and Arrows Season 3, which I loved, and was the perfect end to the series. I was worried that there wouldn't be any real hopefulness in the ending, but I didn't think this was that kind of show. We didn't actually need the last scene, IMO, and I'd have liked to end on the chair. Such a statement on the state of theatre: the whole series, really. And the ending, especially with New Burbage and Richard.

Oh, I loved Ellen's speech on the tv show, which would have been quite nice, apart from having been followed by gunfire and a caveman (for +5 wtf). Oh, socio-artistic commentary, how I love thee.

Did all the DVD sets have extended scenes from the plays? Because, if so, I may actually be able to justify buying them...educational and all that.

Oh, yay! The third season! Must make sure to bump Slings & Arrows to the top of my queue! Glad to hear it ended the show well. I must thank whomever recc'd this series (Thank you!) when I was looking for good Paul Gross material (Men with Brooms turned me off from picking them at random myself).

Aw, Men with Brooms was fun.

But, yeah, S&A is actually good. Great, even.

Must make sure to bump Slings & Arrows to the top of my queue!

And be patient. I've had season three at the top of my queue since a week before the release date and it still says "very long wait".

MwB was not only too much of a shock to see my Benton Frasier (and Leslie Nielson) talking like that, but I think the movie was too crass for my tastes period. Everytime he swore it sounded like he was saying "See?! I'm NOT a f***ing sweet Mountie who helps old ladies cross the f***ing street. F***ing got it? F***ing right."

(fuzzy memory may lead to hyperboles)

Slings & Arrows and Rome are both eyeing me with their teasing "very long wait". Might break down and check out Blockbuster.

Slings and Arrows is worth buying because (a) relatively cheap; and (b) rewards multiple instances of rewatching.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Season 1 at least 8 or 9 times now.

S3 really did have a great, dark, tart, smart, funny, heartbreaking arc.

Well, Geoffrey's very not Ben, as well, although less heavy with the swearing, I believe. I'd agree with the notion that he's more himself and less Not!Frasier

Another movie I would recommend with both Paul Gross and Callum Keith Rennie (and Sandra Oh, and other Canadians) is Wilby Wonderful.

Oh, yes, that one's lovely. I might not have watched it if not for the cast, but I think I'd have liked it if I had (which is, what, triple subjunctive?)

You'd have liked it even if you hadn't liked it.
