You are Coraline, eh?
15/04/2004
I finally got a copy of Coraline
Just the paperback ($9 from MPH) instead of the usual nice hardcover colour version that will probably cost three times more. I intend to bring it on my trip to Hong Kong. Light, small and Gaiman, it should come in handy.
The Office
Got KT in the office interested in The Office and we’ve been laughing about it since. He says he sees a bunch of similarities between the character David Brent and his buddy in our office, Fogey. But I don’t think of Fogey highly enough to see that. I think Fogey is too dumb to come off slimey. But that’s me. Anyway, The Office is hilarious. I love the way it’s shot like a documentary, very clever.
That’s my favourite character Gareth. He’s too funny. If he looks familiar, he was also the pirates with the loose glass eye in Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
wondered why great comedies originate in Britain first. Not all of them do, Third Rock from the Sun was truely American. But I guess the greats are mostly British. Perhaps we just prefer the humour through the use of language and wit better than action and contrived circumstances. Maybe the Brits are just funnier. Could be the accent.
Next on my hitlist is ‘Allo ‘Allo, but that’s going to have to wait.
