I loved Mr. Bean (and his teddy) but I am pretending that the American movie was just a figment of my fevered imagination.  I saw Brittas Empire and enjoyed it.  As for "It ain't 'alf Hot, Mum," I've never heard of it.  Who was in it?  What was it about?  

Oh, and Rimmer (or at least Chris Barrie) had a tiny part in the Tomb Raider film and is expected to be back in part 2.

I hope Rowan Atkinson continues to churn out quality work and that he avoids the potential career suicide of taking a bit part in a godawful AMerican film like Tom Baker did in Dungeons & Dragons.  oh, wait...... Scooby Doo!!!  Damn you, Doo, damn you!


The problem with that is.... well he has. The Mr. Bean movie was very poor. (I wanted to laugh, I really did). And then there was Rat Race. Rat Race is about the biggest waste of time I have EVER experienced. Well, at least in the last year. I also Legend.

He has Johnny English coming out soon, which I want to like but I'm scared of. As has been pointed out, he has an abysmal record with American movies.

What about the show "Yes, Prime Minister"? I bet it's ten times funnier if you have a solid understanding of British politics, but even to me uninitiated Yankee mind it's incredibly hilarious.

not really fell. what made it so funny for us british is that many MP's and civil servants really are like that. That and the jokes.

Oh and i like how we are all talking about British stuff. Yet another area in which britain is superior to USA. give respect.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
