Mr_Danger Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Pat's down with the kids, yo. Â I do enjoy So I Married an Axe Murderer. I put a clip of the dad ripping shit out his 'fat heeeeaded' son the other week, still makes me chuckle like a fat kid who got the last biscuit. Â I'm on series two of Eastbound and Down which features some great lines such as "Locked down tight like a little girls tuna." I watched American Hustle on Friday and it's a pretty good film but it's not as good as it's trying so desperately hard to be. Everyone seems to want to over egg their characters. It's great in parts and Cooper pulls off his slightly unhinged cop character mostly to great affect but it just looks a bit silly sometimes when they all have either funny accents or ridiculous hair and are prone to over acting. Typical Oscar bait really where as if it wasn't made primarily as such it could have had a Goodfellas nostalgia/fun vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 12, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2014 The Mike Myers thing is well odd, erm his career has been built on rehashes, I think the 'mole' joke is in at least two or three films  Definitely, he has the mole in Austin Powers, The Guy with the weird eye in Wayne's World 2 and there's a Gwyneth Paltrow comedy about air hostesses which he has a small funny role in where he has a lazy eye with all the same jokes.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 13, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Watched a film last night called "Johnny Suede" from 1991 that had Brad Pitt in it. Nick Cave is in it too. It was miles better than it had any right to be. Recommended.

I might rewatch it as I recall virtually nothing about it except the quiffs.  What do people think of Brad Pitt as an actor? He's never really done it for me except in Burn after reading which I liked him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 13, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think he's a tremendous actor although he doesn't pick many projects I'm all that interested in. I think his performance in Se7en is one of the great Hollywood acting performances. I still maintain he's the best thing in that film ahead of Morgan Freeman. Really enjoyed him in Snatch and Inglourious Basterds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 13, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2014 I haven't seen Se7en for years, I like the film but I don''t remember him being great in it, I'll keep an eye out next time I watch it if you say he's that good in it.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 13, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think he is, if that counts for anything. Â Watched Gravity last night. Really enjoyed it although it's clearly not worthy of the ridiculous fuss being made of it. I don't get it - it's just a good solid Hollywood sci-fi thriller, nothing more and nothing less. It's hardly Silent Running or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGIT Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Took the missus to see American Hustle. Had high hopes. Thought it was a bag of shite. Well acted aye, but no enough to it. Not enough drama/comedy/action. It was just a crime caper with little to grab you. Â Off to see 12 Years a Slave next, it looks good.
