Laugh Overload

Posted on 16/09/2017 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains lusty lay-by liaisons and SPOILERS!!!] There was so much new (and new-ish) comedy airing this week, that I barely got through it all without losing my breath… er, from laughter, that is, not weird pervy wheezing… though there was … Continue reading →

Have You Met Miss Jones?

Posted on 29/04/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

To celebrate Renée Zellweger’s birthday last week, I decided to give Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) a celebratory spin… and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and funny it still is, after all these years (and several previous viewings). It’s no … Continue reading →

Def-Con Fun!

Posted on 13/06/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains ghost-written memoirs and SPOILERS!!!] Rather than rest on its laurels, Veep changed things up for its third season, sending ‘Selina Meyer’ (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) off across America on the campaign trail… no longer content to just sit in her office, … Continue reading →

HippieWatch!

Posted on 22/12/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

After Goth Chicks, I’d have to say that my next favourite (and most fancied) comedy archetype is the Hippie Chick. Of course, they don’t crop up in modern comedies as often as they did back in the day, but you … Continue reading →

Hippy Dippy

Posted on 13/07/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

Spaced and Hippies both debuted in 1999, and both starred a plucky young actor by the name of Simon Pegg… but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. In the former, he plays a bitter and cynical comic book artist, … Continue reading →

Sally Phillips

Posted on 18/08/2009 by Dee CrowSeer

Over the last few weeks I’ve been having something of a Sally Phillips-fest… entirely unintentional, but very pleasant nonetheless. First I picked up a s-hand copy of The Best of Smack the Pony, then a new series of Jam & … Continue reading →
