skins sucks my balls on tuesday


After watching a preview chunk of episode 1 of the new skins, I was moved to mutter, "fucking hell. it's like two pints of lager with brain damage." As terminally shit as that sounds, I think that's exactly what they were going for.

Firstly, this will be the last series of skins. They have shat on their own chests. Every episode is increasingly, mind-blowingly vacuous and really worringly retarded, like actually suspiciously FUCKING RETARDED IN EVERY SENSE. Skins basically works on the premise that some cunt and his cunt son (yes, skins was devised by a father-son team, that's how gay it is) lounge around the house and type some things into urbandictionary they heard at the bus stop, and then go on drugsforum to see what the effects of these mysterious drugs are, then rank them in order of current coolness (notice how they say MDMA in every fucking sentence this time around, fucking douches), and then write some shots into the shooting script like

INT. LIVING ROOM
EFFY TAKES HER TOP OFF

or

INT. PANDORA'S BEDROOM
PANDORA TAKES HER TOP OFF,
[CUT TO] KATIE TAKING HER TOP OFF

...because skins' major viewing demographic is age 35 and over (?!?!!??!?!!). How do I know all this? Because I'm fucking lame! But I also wish to expose skins for being the shitpile of lies and pubes that it is.

The worst thing about this series is most definitely the characters. did you notice they cut out all the black characters? (apart from temporary character Thomas) I guess they got tired of writing in Jafaican. Also, the skins team is a little confused about what the kids think is cool at the moment. They're pretty sure plaid is cool, they're positive skating is making a comeback, but they're basically failing all over the place -the costumes FUCKING SUCK. Dr Dre - the Next Episode? Is it 1999? And Effy has gone from fairly smokin' to physically hateable. She's like that vaguelly goth-y grim slag that cries at every party over vodka. Anyway,

DEATH TO SKINS.

Z

btw - I'm basically upset that they didn't accept my script.
