Soda Jerk Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Today I learned that before Will Smith was cast in Men In Black, Ed Solomen's first choice for his part was David Schwimmer.Fuck sake. Imagine that? Will Smith was given permission to write a supporting rap song for the film. Imagine if David Schwimmer was given that privilege instead? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Today, or last night rather, I learned that Tequila is hell on earth.This morning, I just briefly remembered what it tasted like, and I did a little sick in my mouth. I read somewhere that it was meant to be a sweet spirit. Lies. It tastes like what I imagine paint thinner to taste like, but perhaps worse. At least paint thinner has that sort of weirdly intoxicating aroma that marker pens have. Tequila has nothing. It looks like piss and it tastes like poison, and it makes you puke and shit everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Today I learned that, like US sitcom Sanford & Son is very obviously based on Steptoe & Son, Bill Cosby's sitcom 'Cosby' is actually based on One Foot In The Grave.I also learned that Kevin James played two different characters in Everybody Loves Raymond. He originally played a bit part character named also named Kevin, who plays on Ray's basketball team and occasionally hangs out with him and a few others. Then he re-appears as a delivery driver named Doug in a few episodes, which opened the door for the 'unofficial' spin-off, King of Queens.Sitcom facts.

Kevin James appeared as Doug Heffernan in Everyone Loves Raymond after he had his own show (King of Queens). As the character was already established (first air date for KoQ September '98- Doug Heffernan appeared in ELR in November '98) it's considered a crossover rather than a spin-off, and Ray Barone appeared in KoQ as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also see Hal from Malcolm in the Middle.King of Queens is a weird one for me. Sitting here now, I think it's keech and can only thing of two redeeming features about it - Leah Remini's tits (LAAADS) - but whenever it's on, I can't switch it off.There's a strange phenomena with US sitcoms where they seem to be branded as being funny even though you can watch a 30 minute (23 minute or whatever) episode and laugh twice.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you download the Streets Of Rage pack on XBox Live, it includes the European versions of the 3 games that we all know and love, but you can also play the American or Japanese versions. This is pretty awesome for a Streets Of Rage fan. There are subtle differences between the versions, like different baddies, slightly different storylines, different moves, different sound effects and in the Japanese versions all the girls are dressed like sluts (also it's called Bare Knuckle). Plus you can play as Blaze or Axl in Streets Of Rage 3 and they're wearing their proper colours. It's a bit like finding lost recordings from your favourite album 20 years after it was released.

Paranoid Android Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I didn't think anyone ever liked King of Queens. I thought it was just one of those shows made to fill an hour in the Paramount Comedy channel schedule but no one actually watches it.

Skubbs Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I liked Everybody Loves Raymond until I was about 18, then grew bored of it quickly. It was just "filler" tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Raymond is great. It gets a bad rep for being tacky, because it's got that canned laughter and whatnot, but it's excellent. Definitely one of the more well written and well excecuted laugh-track sitcoms. I bought the missus Season 1-9 for Xmas. We're almost up to Season 5 already. It's great.

Frosty Jack Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Today I learned that Rory Gallagher's drummer is not dead.In the 70's Rory's drummer was called Rod De'Ath, and he left the band in 1978 to go to America. In the 80's everyone assumed he had died in an accident. He had had an accident, he fell down some stairs running for a train and woke up in intensive care after being in a coma, with brain damage and no memory. He eventually regained his memory, but doctors told him his brain injury would definitely kill him within four years, so he just never bothered to tell anyone he hadn't actually died, because he figured he would soon anyway. The doctors were wrong, and he survived.When Rory Gallagher died in 1995, most of the obituaries mentioned his drummer who had 'died' years ago. Then Rod shocked everyone by turning up to his memorial service.http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/rod-death-the-strange-story-of-rory-gallaghers-drummer/Fuckin' drummers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
