Seems to be the ultimate riding on coat tails career where he manages to surround himself by far more talented people and lives off that. I don't think I have ever seen him be funny when he is doing anything solo. Aye. From what I've seen of him doing stand up or panel shows, his comedy is a bizarrely unperceptive mix of him being snooty while also doing really rubbish and lazy shouty accents.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 23, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2020 Unthinkable Samuel L. Jackson tries to 'obtain' information from terrorist Michael Sheen. Didn't expect much from this but it was really good. Doesn't overdose on moral dilemmas and works as a cracking suspense thriller. Worth finding on Prime.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just managed to see all of Parasite. It’s quite the spectacle. Not even sure how you explain it but I really enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure how you explain it but I really enjoyed it I also saw this tonight. Definitely better to watch this one without knowing much about it, but as @Hannibal Scorch says, it’s so difficult to explain succinctly that you’d have to be very unlucky to have it spoiled.

RedRooster Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I went to see The Personal History of David Copperfield today and thought it was excellent, a really brilliant, funny adaptation. It was spoiled a bit by the guy sitting in front of me who complained loudly the first few times a non-white character showed up. Utterly pathetic.

You can pop that in the Celebrity Spotting thread that you went to the pictures with Laurence Fox.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Now, to be fair he didn't mention racism until someone else brought it up to him in response to his original comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yeah please do. Im not meaning that in a “pfft, racists eh?” way, more of a “surely he knew that going into it as he’ll have seen a trailer or a poster for the film” way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Also, was it for different non-white characters or the same one in different scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he actually saying? At the very start, when Dev Patel appeared on screen, he said ‘this is going to be stupid’ to the lady he was with, and the next time he did it was when Benedict Wong and Rosalind Eleazar showed up. He laughed, said ‘for fuck’s sake’ someone shushed him and he didn’t do it again. Quote Also, was it for different non-white characters or the same one in different scenes? He only did it for the people I mentioned. There were one or two other non-white characters he didn’t react to before Benedict Wong/Rosalind Eleazar showed up, so it wasn’t every time. Was still obnoxious though. Edited January 25, 2020 by RedRooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 I watched that "In Search of the Last Action Heroes" documentary. Its amazing. Right up @Devon Malcolm's alley. Seeing all those movies, from Terminator to ones you nobody talks about like 48 hours of all things profiled all in a row makes you want to watch every single one of them all over again. Which I might just do. Cant recommend it enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
