Everyone should watch Burn up. Everyone who hasn't already that is. Its an "Eco-Thriller". Its hilarious.
Some reviews:
...To say Beaufoy’s characters are two-dimensional would be an insult to flat surfaces...
...It probably would be sensible to at least wait until I’d seen the second part before condemning Burn Up as an absolute stinker. But why wait...
...It wasn’t a bad attempt at taking on climate change in a dramatic made-for-TV format. The first turns at addressing a new social/political phenomena are always going to be a little cliched...
..I expect it’ll get so much sillier in the final episode. But the greenies won’t care anyway...
I found the whole thing fucking hilarious. I laughed all the way through. After these stupid luvie terr-ist fantasies (First episode of Bonekickers and Britz) we needed a global warming thriller! I read loads more reviews of this where people were complimenting the acting. Strange. It looked to me like everyone was acting with the script stuck up their ass sideways. Don't get me wrong, I agree completely with the sentiment- we've got photo-voltaics on the roof, Mescoli woodchip burners, I cycle everywhere- I don't even use the tube if I can help it, but this is just crap. Hilarious, but crap. Can't wait for episode two.

So, yer still hanging at Sparkie's place. Good luck with that. Those folks are gonna get a lot more freaked out in the weeks and months ahead.
Obama tours the mideast and Europe, while McCain corners six unsuspecting diners at Sausage Haus.
No shit.
I've been chatting to them most days since 2003 I think. We are friends. Obama seems to be on the tide doesn't he. Whether that will do anyone any good remains to be seen but we must hope eh.
