The first couple of American Pie movies was great and fun. And you might thought that the series had ended. But you’re mistaken. A new movie is now out in US. I’ve lost count, but I guess American Pie Presents: The Book of Love is the 7th movie in the series. One character from the original movies are still present, Jim’s Dad played by Eugene Levy. The movie is available on both DVD and Blu-ray.

A short description of the the story:

When three East Great Falls High buddies accidentally discover the legendary “Book of Love,” penned by some of their school’s alumni, they embark on a hilariously outrageous quest to lose their virginity with the girls of their dreams. Join Jim’s Dad (Eugene Levy) and this lovable and outrageous group of guys in this raucous comedy full of shocking and heartwarming fun!

Watch the trailer and interviews with the cast in the videos bellow.

I really liked season 1 and season 2 of The IT Crowd. I’m happy say that season 3 is as good as the previously seasons. We’re still following Moss (Richard Ayoade), Jen (Katherine Parkinson) and Roy (Chris O’Dowd) in their everyday life as IT people. If this crowd can work in IT, everyone can.

Here’s the episode titles of series 3:

1. From Hell
2. Are We Not Men?
3. Tramps Like Us
4. The Speech
5. Friendface
6. Calendar Geeks

My favourite episodes are The Speech where Moss and Roy convince Jen into belive that the Internet is in a small black box. Friendface is also a great episode. It’s a parody on Facebook. Real fun.

Here is the text from the backcover:

Whilst Reynholm Industries boss, Douglas, is spending the pension fund on gold flakes in the water supply, the dysfunctional IT department – Moss, Roy and Jen – build up the courage to face the frightening world of people who somehow communicate without using a keyboard.

As well as the usual bickering, time wasting and incompetence, the co-dependent trio become the victims of sexual harassment, create a fundraising nude erotic calendar, confront the builders from hell and join a social networking site.

In addition to six good episode you also get this:

• Audio commentary w/Graham Linehan
• An Interview with Graham
• Original Title Sequence Animatic
• Deleted Scene 1: “Look After Yourself”
• Deleted Scene 2: “Roy’s Sex Life”
• Cracking the IT Crowd
• Set Tour
• Out-takes

If you liked the previously seasons of The IT Crowd, you will like this one. If you like British comedy, this is the show for you, start with season 1. The IT Crowd is highly recommanded!

I’ve always liked to look inside electronic gadget and other products. My sister was so kind to donate her deceased DVD-player to science. I performed a autopsy of a United  DVD  5054M DVD-player. The cause of death is still unknown, but the last meal was Cry Baby.
