Why Read a Book - Extras and Explanation

It seems you already have a clear view of what you need to do to make it work for yourselves first of all. You reminded me of Rafa's post-match press conferences where he is always objective and straightforward in analysing his game 😃

@IceCranberry (Anja) I hear you. I think I have enjoyed Squatters ep 1 more because Chris was somehow likable and the "quick jokes" were there. As for the Immigration Series, my favourite remains the US one because it was the freshest for me and Foil and Hog really look silly and funny there. I guess if there was ever a sketch I didn't like as much as the others, I probably won't view it so often. Now I doubt if I can be objective because of my fondness for these lads but I'll try to be less like a dotting grandma who pampers her grandkids' vanity 😂🤣

It's the one when they tell Aodghan that they killed Olwyn. Even Foil's "You're a monster!" is a bit strange (and you all know I love this man to death) Prob were already tired cuz my thought was at first "Badly acted out? From you guys? Lads..."

Just out of curiosity, can I ask what the scene is that bothers you?

Interesting observation you post here. Even as a FAHn, I want to see every single thing they do as objectively as I can. (I obv won't tell them 'This sucks' but I will say if something was amazing after a long time) For example Earth is Dying is one of their best in a while (I really don't care about Immigration Series anymore, sorry) although I couldn't really appreciate it this week cuz it was after a very challenging week for me. And yes, despite being a Foil fan, I at least TRY to see his roles as objectively as I can but of course, I met The Greatest One now, I can't help but enjoy the warm feeling his presence gives me. That being said, Squatters2 is still not one of their best work, not by a long shot. There is a scene I've mentioned I think a couple of times, it bothers me and even Foil can't make it better. (Aodghan is also not one of his best roles either...I do love the moustaches tho, I know they make him happy) So yeah, I do want to see everything in 'a clear light' and I hope the lads like the fact that I don't want to be just "OMG, THIS IS FABULOUS!" just cuz I love them so, just cuz I am their supporter.

It took me so long to leave a comment on this post because I ruminated more on it (while doing the lotus pose😓 ) I laughed at your "this is an apology video", Arms, because I see a lot of thumbnails of that on YouTube and NEVER click on them Then you gave me a start at that last part...Jayzuz!!! 🤪 I do love Squatters. However, by the time I saw it, I was already unabashedly dyed-in-the-wool FAHn so I supposed I was not watching "objectively". I requested a friend to watch both episodes and asked her what she thought and whether she would see this one on Netflix. To be honest, I really don't care much for (98%) Netflix shows but...they do make money ( I think?). Sometimes I feel like a meanie for feeling so strongly against a lot of their shows/movies. I see your talent, witticism and creativity outstrip anything I've seen there. But *sigh* I'm a FAHn so I had to step outside of myself and ask someone else's opinion about Squatters. She said Squatters was "fresh, original" (yeah, very Rotten Tomatoes-ish) and had never seen anything like it but as much as she enjoyed it, she has reservations that it would be something other people she knew would see on Netflix. Like what you said, Arms, your strength is your quick jokes and for a 20-30 minute sitcom, that will be very, very challenging and would require so much from the three of you who are already busy-busy-busy in your live shows. Having said that, I will cling to some hope that Squatters will still be made someday to what you dreamed it to be. For now, you're stuck with us, your adoring FAHngirls, is that alright? 😅 We're always rooting for you, lads! ❤ PS Soooo...you're on tour again. Time to drop more booknerdy posts? 😁😂

Completely agree with Jelena. I really enjoyed Squatters and loved this sketch too when it was shown, In my mind, these characters have a lot to still give and there are endless stories that could be developed. Glad to here we are going see a bit more of them. xxx

Miss you guys. 😘

'Squatters' has great characters and plot development behind them, so I don't mind if it's just a short sketch. I'm always happy to see them in whatever form you put them in.

darn. There were actually two other people selling a ticket right in front of the venue.

@ Christine.........Arrrrrrggggghhhh!!! I was. So annoyed that I didn't see your message.

Didn’t see your comment in time, we had first row tickets. It was such a great show!! Although I‘m not from the sixth district ;)

Which row are you guys in? We‘re in 22nd. :D

Hey Fahns, i have a spare Ticket for the show in Munich on Monday. Maybe someone here knows someone who is looking for one :)

Yes! Didn’t read it yesterday but we‘re there in a few minutes! Can’t wait!

"You think you're better at reading than Stephen Fry." - That one made me crack up. Can't wait for Sunday Night. See you in Berlin!

Hey, is anyone going to the Vienna show tomorrow?

I love it when Arms makes historical references.

Appalaa

That all sounds fair and self-aware. Hope you find ways to realise your ambitions!
