1) The Pirates! Very funny and very clever. The whole win-the-pirate-of-the-year thing didn't really interest me, but I suppose the story had to be about something, and needed some mechanism by which to propel it along. But I liked the clever jokes, both verbal and visual, and thought it was an enjoyable ride. Very English.
Was disturbed to find out that several of the characters had different voice actors for the American version :ddpan:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

2) Everything Must Go. Nice quiet gentle little drama. Good role for Will Farrell.
