Vintage Trashwire – ‘Office’ romance
Tweet As a big fan of the original UK version of The Office, I was understandably apprehensive when I learned that the show was coming to America. Ricky Gervais was brilliant both as a star and a writer on the show and I doubted anyone would be able to match his talent. When the first season of the American version of The Office kicked off, I was pleasantly surprised at the way they adapted the characters to make the show fit for American audiences. Sure a few scenes played like a weird impersonation of the original, but others shined in originality. Steve Carell, in particular, was impressive because he was able to accomplish the most difficult task by expertly playing the slacker boss made famous by Gervais himself.

Vintage Trashwire – ‘Flavor of Love’ or flavor of vomit

Writer, director, actor and producer Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 classic The Room has every element necessary for a truly terrible film. The script is worse than something a 14 year-old would write, the acting is atrocious, the music is ghastly and dated, the cinematography could have been done by Stevie Wonder, and the love scenes are practically vomit-inducing. In other words, this film is sheer perfection of awfulness. The main character is … Read entire article »
