Freed Some Space


So for the past couple of weeks I was watching DVDs to eat my weekends. I bought a couple of films set in Europe just to ease the pain* and a couple more limited release-esque types.

* It seems everybody I know is going to France this quarter.

---> To get to the point of this post

I bought two movies having Simon Pegg as a character.

So I googled about him as soon as I was in front of the computer the next day. As I've posted sometime ago I am HUGE Simon Pegg fan, so it was interesting to read an article about adapting "SPACED" in America.

***

SPACED is a UK TV series created by Pegg and Jessica Hynes.
It ran for two seasons

SPACED is AWESOME. The series wrapped before I even heard about it, but that didn't stop me from downloading it for almost a month.

SPACED changed my life. I watched it during sembreak of my senior year, what can I say, I was Tim Bisley till the end of the summer.

From what I read Simon and Jessica didn't like the idea of an American version so they were vocal about not supporting it at all. Somehow I was glad about their decision since Pegg and Hynes is SPACED itself. Though the US version of The Office is really good (actually I think I like it better than the Brit one) I'd go for the unmatchable chemistry of the two lead actors. And that is something hard to mess with.

And the latest from the rumor mill is that the US version isn't pushing through.

YEY!

I just hope that the rumored 3rd season materializes or the special 1hour episode.
