Spaced on Region 1 DVD!

Well, just after I bought my brother a region free DVD player, there is now one less reason to need one. The terrifically uncatorizeable BBC series Spaced is now available in Region 1 DVD. The series was created by the SHAUN OF THE DEAD / HOT FUZZ team of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, along with the very talented Daisey Steiner. The title makes you think it might be sci fi related and it isn't, except it kinda is because the stoner youths in the show are obsessed with STAR WARS, zombie films and video games. (Just like everyone I am able to converse with.) But the title really only refers to the sharing of an apartment, a space.

One of the most colossally stupid ideas ever is the news that McG (shudder) is adapting Spaced into a new series but he wants absolutely zero input from the original creators. This makes no sense to me. Why do this if you are...ugh. Why not just call your new show something else entirely? Is there a single Spaced fan out there who would not get this news before the show aired?

Anyway I'm super excited about the DVD release, to celebrate here's a clip!
