MrRant Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Posted January 13, 2005 I was just about to post about this.
HarleyQuinn Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Well...the cursing will be gone which'll pretty much sorta kill Mason's characters(more because I felt the cursing added to his charm and appeal) but eh, better then nothing I guess. *sorta wishes HBO would pick it up*
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Dead Like Me Direct to DVD Movie with mostly original cast (no Mandy Patinkin though, so boo!) releases next month Im gonna get the Complete Series Set with the movie for $49 at Amazon.
cd213 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 That's awesome news. I've always liked this show.
Youth N Asia Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 About time, damn thing was supposed to come out in July
Matt Young Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I'm about to start watching this series on Netflix.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I watched the movie on TV on the 1st, it's ok. New Daisy is hard to adjust to, but it's fine. Lots of interaction between George and Reggie, and the intro drawn like a comic book that explains that a frog and toad broke the jar God kept Death in is pretty neat. .
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Desmond from Lost takes over for Rube. and the intro drawn like a comic book that explains that a frog and toad broke the jar God kept Death in is pretty neat. . That intro was done live-action at the beginning of the 1st episode of the series.
Anakin Flair Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I liked this show on DVD. But somebody tell me- a friend of mine said that the reason this show was canceled was because Mandy Pantinkin had cancer, but this seems ridiculous. Anybody else here that?
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 From what I hear, there were a few factors: (1) it was fairly expensive to produce, and (2) there was a new head of the network, who didn't consider DLM "his show", and wanted to put on shows developed under his watch. Maybe ratings, but I'm not sure what kind of ratings the show got. I'm pretty sure ratings started off strong, but over the course of the show, I don't know what levels they got.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I'd never actually seen the first episode, heh.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Geroge gets hit by a toilet seat and dies. There, first episode. They recapped it well enough. I think I've seen MOST of it, though. She goes to a garage sale and gets into a fight with her mom, right? Oh, I'm pretty sure they use a new "What George looks like to others" actress in the 'movie'. . Another note about the movie is that it was listed as being called "Dead Like Me: Life After Death" but that title appears nowhere in the film. It's just "Dead Like Me".
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Garage sale is a later episode in S1. First episode is really good, you should definitely watch it. Did you watch the rest of S1?
ulfistgut Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 The movie is available in the usual sort of places. Question though? Did anyone get the impression that the TV version had been cut down? It seemed like the second half sorta zipped around and made massive plot developments (Daisy trips lead actress, then you see her drunk on stage - seemed like masses of missing bits) off screen. The resolution with Desmond was just weird, they each did something wrong - there were no signs of paying the price (aside from the quick shot of the ghost in the hairdressers) and they decide they have to kill him because they don't like him? I'm hoping theres about 30 minutes of missing scenes that got cut for TV. Quite enjoyable though, missed Rube and the Daisy change was more jarring than I thought it'd be. Just found the pace of the plot quite weird Anyone know if theres more plans post this - the post it notes seemed to suggest more to come (or maybe twas just a cute callback)
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I just saw the movie and the only thing I really liked out of it was the closure for George/Reggie. Everything else wasn't so great. I also like how everyone was hating on Weeds before it even debuted because Dead Like Me got canceled. How wrong we were.
Atticus Chaos Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I always wondered what happened to Ellen Muth. She's done practically nothing, apart from the tv movie , since it went off the air. Was she not interested in acting anymore?
CuddlyKnife Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Who knows? But the movie is truely unacceptable!
