Oh, you didn't see the end. Frankie had to take out a building filled with loose nanobots that had been programmed to consume anything. He survives and the world survives. How? He blew them up.
I viewed it simply as a more expensive, longer episode of Malcolm in the Middle with more gadgets. That didn't quite make up for the lack of Doowie and Francis.
The Culture isn't pretentious! Well, okay it is, but it's got an internet section and a better TV guide than the play, you can't deny that. And althought the Books section is inevitable filled with historical autobiographies, sometime's there's a gem. And A.A. Gill is a genius. A comedy genius.

Frankie's the best character on Malcom in the Middle, though i'd say that Francis is a close second.
And Culture is pretentious! Half of it's devoted to art exhibitions, most of which are by obscure people never heard of again. Also, the TV critics' choice for the week is never as good, and they're not on the same page! you have to keep flicking back and forth to see what it conflicts with. And the flim guide is rubbish, and they don't give you a week's best film.
Finally, I can't stand waiting till Sunday.

You get an entire page dedicated to critics' choice! Not just two crappy paragraphs!
But I too enjoy the album cover section. It seems to be a universal law that I either get one for sure, and have a mild idea of the rest, or get two and no clue about the others.
Didja see today's Play? No wonder you thought the Hulk would have been good! Out of about ten films, eight got between three and four stars! They're just not harsh enough!
As for the art exibitions, I value the fact they have little clips of one of the pictures for each one. Saves me having to go look myself, and some of the pictures are quite good. However, the only bits I feel are uneccesary are the opera, architecture, and ballet sections.

You get a heck of a lot on the Critic's choice, and some info about the star of said choice. And as for the film guides, it's relative. If you know they're not harsh enough, only see four stars and up.
I did not say the Hulk would be good. I did not see it, I advised my cousins against seeing it (on your say- so), and I threw away the little Hulk toy that came free in my pack of Cinnamon Grahams. So there.
And the TV reviews they do in Play aren't afraid to make sarcastic comments. In Culture it's all so.... genuine. I think I once got three, that's my record. This week, the two on the left puzzle me. The two on the right are: Travis, The Man Who, and Radiohead, Hail to the Thief.
Only opera, architecture, and ballet. That's what makes Culture too long, and there are too many pages between each day's viewing.

I got those ones, too.
The film reviews aren't bad, the end scores are just misleading. Take a peak at page four. Out of five films, four got 2*, and one got 3*. That one is T3. It doesn't really help me decide, you see.
(Is that toy a little hollow hulk figure without the back of his body? Only I have one lying around, and I'm confused)
Oh yes, the star section. My favourite bit was last week, when they described Loyd Grossman as having "irritable vowel syndrome".
Incident of the week - I was looking for a wedding card for my girlfriend's aunt, and guess who we came across in WHSmiths? Craig Doyle! The travel presenter! Who only happens to be the aunt's favourite celebrity. To cut a long story short, my girlfriend couldn't breath and I spent the best part of three minutes joining Craig Doyle in making sarcastic comments at her and laughing.
It's a funny ol' life.

It is the hulk with a hollowed out body. Honestly! You'd think that cereal toy manufacturers would take more care over the production of their toys. That one was just scrappy.
That tops my celebrity meeting thing- Trevor Mcdonald held a lift for me. That is all.

Hahahahah, I'm Noddy Holder's nephew by marriage. I wi-in, suck on it. Lollypop.

You are? Too cool!
There's this short guy I know, name of Tom Holder. He's a kickass drummer, hence we call him Noddy. Therefore, I am Noddy Holder's friend.

But does he have ridiculous hair? Is he really rude?
If not, he ain't the original and best...
And yes, I am far, far too cool. But I can handle it, don't worry about me.

Researcher 185550 Posted Aug 3, 2003
He does have ridiculous hair, and not only is he rude, he is violent.
Oh I know how cool you are. You are so cool, I don't care whether you can take it, I can barely take it. I mean, like, whoah!

Mal Posted Aug 3, 2003
Wow, maybe he's a clone.
I'm cool. If you weren't male, I'd give you a chance to be my first groupie, but I'm sorry, I'm sexist like that. It's a flaw, but hey, it's rock.

Researcher 185550 Posted Aug 3, 2003
Oh I know you're cool. Say, if you rock, can I join your group? Vocals, bass, guitar, drums, I can do it all.

Mal Posted Aug 4, 2003
Nah, I can do 'em all already, I'm a very musical (cool) (rock) person.
Then again, I've never learned the didgeridoo. You're on, if you have.

C'mon now guys, break up this coolness fight, you're both equally cool (or sad ). Is that Noddy the Anarchist Roadkill? My mum's mentioned him.
Sold, our years preening plucky, Chump?
Mal Posted Aug 8, 2003
*Shrug*. I don't know. Ask your mum, she's the expert. I don't really know anything about him except he did one of the "I love..." programs, he was in Slade (it was Slade, right?) and he did that Christmas song thingy.
You'd better ! Roadkill agrees that I'm cool! We're both cooler than you, nah nah
Sold, our years preening plucky, Chump?
Clare Posted Aug 8, 2003
no you're not you're mean and I hate you.
I meant Roadkill's Noddy, I think he's at my mum's school.

Clare,
You and I are light years cooler than either of them. And we don't even have to try! So there.
