2024-10-30 15:04:51 +0000 UTCI am right in thinking that was the Murder She Wrote theme when she was at the typewriter right? I've never actively watched the show, I just remember it coming on TV a handful times as a kid at my grandparents.

2024-10-21 23:23:44 +0000 UTCThere is at least one video on YouTube explaining all the film references. May even be from channel 4. There’s also a documentary on spaced they made that’s a good watch. Also has a clip at the end concerning the future of the two characters. The 21st anniversary panel was also good.

2024-10-21 09:39:16 +0000 UTCBeing a little bugged at not getting every reference reminds me of watching the Simpsons pre-internet over here (the first 8 seasons were fantastic, but also FULL of mentions to American pop culture I'd never heard of)! By the way, Brian getting hit in the head by the football wasn't random, it was the same sequence of events as Tim's but he failed at it (like you caught on with the cartwheel) :)

2024-10-21 02:47:01 +0000 UTCSpot on Jay. Someone had a go at me on here for glorifying Spaced by having the temerity to suggest that once KB got used to the flow of it he would enjoy it. I drafted an essay suggesting why it is actually glorious and never posted it. I'll settle for your essay to make the argument instead!

2024-10-20 20:37:56 +0000 UTCBrian also said it was an exhibition of white paintings. At the time there was an exhibition at the Tate modern gallery in London of Red paintings. Same thing. Utterly pretentious

2024-10-20 17:34:56 +0000 UTCDon't feel bad for not liking it as much as the Cornetto trilogy, and having expectations that couldn't be lived up to. Those movies were designed to be more accessible to a wider audience, while Spaced is more geared towards a UK audience in many ways (Although I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy Series 2 far more, as it's more broadly appealing). I disagree that Edgar Wright's style is better suited to the movies, as part of the genius of Spaced was putting movie style visuals into a mundane setting of a Suburban London sitcom. Without meaning to sound pretentious, the show is trying to reflect how both Tim and Daisy are stuck in that difficult mid 20's age of trying to hold on to their childhood, when faced with adulthood and all the responsibilities that come with it. The movie elements pretty much reflect that they're still living in a semi fantasy world, and Tim's speech at the end of this episode, regarding life being nothing like the movies, is a reflection of Tim's realisation that he needs to start growing up. I think the problem with Spaced for audiences outside of the UK, is that there's an expectation for a more broad laugh out loud type of comedy, which makes Spaced feel underwhelming. Whereas in the UK we understand the references of UK life as 20 something Gen X'ers, with the various movie and British TV references cementing that feeling. It was never meant to be a broad comedy, it's a character study of the Gen X experience in England (especially the London area). Which is why I'm never one to recommend this to anyone that it doesn't relate to, because much of it is lost in translation. Apologies for the semi long essay!
