Wall of Mouths

i still haven’t got mine yet. without sounding silly, how can i listen to it before it arrives?

just the single song? i’d quite happily pay the 89p for an unreleased (or to be unreleased other than on the album) track. but for one that i’ve already heard or can watch until the album comes out. no no. not exactly shrewd marketing there boys.

even as the eternal pessimist that i am, judging by the bits on the website and from what i’ve heard about the filmings i’m hoping that this will be good. i really hope so. i’ve been watching the documentary bits on the 1-8 dvds recently and what was lacking in 7,8 and BTE for me was the banter. they all seemed too story story story, joke. or joke joke joke, story. i think the overlying problem is that they need to do an arching story for each series now and then move on to the next one.

i gave up on this after the first 2 episodes. it was shockingly bad. the annoying thing is that gervais can do really good comedy when he gets it right. or he could do anyway. i’m surprised it’s got a 2nd series. the problem is that by “being” david brent all the time, which as already mentioned, he essentially is, he’s kind of shot himself in the foot. he seems like such an incredibly unlikeable person. although the christmas episodes of both the office and extras were brilliant.

honestly, hand on hearts here, had ANYBODY ever actually liked ricky gervais?

it’s my duty, my duty as a complete and utter bastard.
