What do you think of subtitled dramas? I like them. Although Borgen was a pain in the arse to watch because if you turned away from the screen for a second you'd miss loads.

I linked this because of this quote ""It used to be that people would say they don't watch TV but they love The Wire or the West Wing.Now it's all about the Swedish Wallander, the Bridge and Borgen. It's the new snobbery for people who claim they don't watch television."

Well, they're pretty dull these days, but they did release some great records. They also did a great soundtrack for Zidane.

Plus, don't you like Slipknot? I'm not sure you're in a position here to act as an arbiter of what a good band is.

Pretentious gash.
They should all speak English (not British). We invented the camera (probably) and so they should speak English when being filmed.

TV is terrible these days. Except for The Big Bang Theory, which is genius. And Two Broke Girls which sounds like porn but is comedy although the brunette would get gob raped.
