there has been tons of gervais talk on the coogan-vs-gervais thread.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:18 (ten years ago) link
derek is just...words fail me. there is no explanation for it. dude had the world in his hand after the office just as borat had the world in his hand after borat. and they both just blew it pretty bad.

SBC: Bruno is very good, and I liked his performance in Hugo. He makes an excellent cartoon villain/preening doofus.
Gervais is dead to me.

re: Gervais
I liked Extras, and to a lesser extent, Life's Too Short. Derek just screams awful, though.

i will cop to not totally hating "the dictator." it's dumb and nowhere as good or interesting as borat, but some of it made me laugh.

i dare anyone here to watch more than one episode of derek.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:26 (ten years ago) link
dare-ek

i couldnt get through more than a couple scenes.
"the dictator" is mostly bad but ben kingsley being in it amazes me

yeah sbc is fine in unrecognizable bad guy roles. this is true. but him and gervais had cache! its so hard to get cache. and now nobody really cares about either of them. i have no doubt that they will have steady employment in the future.

you need to take a long hard look at ben kingsley's imdb page then

I know ben kingsley is in slop, but I can never stop being entertained by that
that said, his performance in iron man 3 was much better

its the curse of gandhi.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:32 (ten years ago) link
i like seeing his face. he's always good in anything just cuzza that good face.
he's in billions of movies. some are even good! but he's just in... everything. the curse of gandhi: the inability to rest as an actor
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link
i interviewed him once, in person, just one on one. it was kind of awesome
oh what was he like
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link
omg I am jealous
do you think he'd drop into a character he had done if you asked him really nicely, I want to hear some ghandi dialogue delivered as his character from sexy beast
― beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:34 (ten years ago) link
well i had heard all sorts of bad things from the PR people about him, he was driving them all crazy with his demands, so i was worried he'd be a really hard interview, but it turned out that he (like many UK actors) really knows how to put on the charm for the press and was totally courtly and delightful "oh hellO mark, how WONDERFUL to see you today, please do sit down..." it was awesome, like i was getting a one-man-show from him
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link
like i was worried he was going ot be don logan incarnate but instead he was the charmingest
ben kingsley is in that new ender's game movie with like a full face tattoo thing, just think of him every single morning in the makeup chair for hours getting his face tattoo put on for a terrible cgi sci fi thing when harrison ford breezes in and smokes a joint in the corner

as for Gervais I haven't watched any of his post-Office series, but the "Jodie Foster's beaver" joke at the GGs is its own justification of a career.
