Re SG's post-total agreement. I WILL NOT be going to see any American remake of The girl with the dragon tattoo (or the rest of the Millenium Trilogy). AND what made anyone think that an American remake of Nine Queens or the Office or Kath and Kim was a good idea????????????

What makes you think we'd allow you to see our remake.

They're also making an American version of Top Gear...WTF? Pissed me off when I saw that. Apparently we Americans just can't stand a show that isn't in our accent. Make a Texan version and I might watch....

Rumor has it, the new version might be better.

I doubt that highly. This country is far too PC to improve on Clarkson's rants. (this cut doesn't have his great line on a call to roadside assistance "Yes, I am going to be eaten by dogs...and I am a pregnant woman and I am all on my own.")

And I agree with UT, but would add EPIC fail.

They did an American Top Gear pilot two years ago with Adam Carolla, my man-crush, but it was not picked up because network executives appear to be all morons.
Mr. Carolla is our Jeremy Clarkson. |

Apparently the US Top Gear will be on the History Channel and the comic Adam Ferrara will be the comedy host.
The History Channel airing it means that a third of the show will be discussions about historic cars. This is what they do with "Pawn Stars", have people bring in antique guns and art. My buddy who owns an actual pawn shop says that the entire show is bullshit. I predict failure. |

Good point, well made.
But although Clarkson is larger than life and I enjoy watching him, he is genuinely right-wing in his views - I can't read his columns/ books without a little bit of frothing.... And not in my pants. |

I read yesterday that Shane Jacobson (a.k.a. Kenny) is the host of the Australian Top Gear. Much as I like Shane Jacobson, do we need an Australian Top Gear?

I surrender, Bruce.
We do crazy pretty well for a small island. And we have a gutter press who don't let facts get in the way of a good story. Pretty much like I didn't with the Halloween story - ahem. But you got more crazies because you got more room for them to run around in
