"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.

scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:28 (ten years ago) link

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.

scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:32 (ten years ago) link

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

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link

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

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link

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

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:37 (ten years ago) link

[erased ben kingsley story]
i like the Ricky Gervais show and the original office but damn that guy is not-in-a-i-want-to-have-sex-with-him-way-but-just-straight-up annoying

erect, sporadic, notorious, genitals (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:42 (ten years ago) link

ben kingsley is awesome.

scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:42 (ten years ago) link

guys forks had a kingsley story but he deleted it

lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:56 (ten years ago) link

shh we're ignoring that

beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:58 (ten years ago) link

one time I oiled his bald head and he rubbed it all over my body

beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 20:58 (ten years ago) link

eh i just typed out a paragraph but realized in retrospect it sounded catty and name-dropping so fuggit

ben kingsley orgy

scott seward, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:12 (ten years ago) link

Ben, loooooved you in Prince of Persia.

Miss Arlington twirls for the Coal Heavers (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:13 (ten years ago) link

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.

Miss Arlington twirls for the Coal Heavers (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:15 (ten years ago) link

hahaha it's funny because she has a vagina

you are kind, I am (waterface), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link

and vagina is short for beaver

you are kind, I am (waterface), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link

and she made a movie starring Mel Gibson's vagina

you are kind, I am (waterface), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link

I'm not sure how long netflix has had the first 7 seasons of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia but damn that show is funny!

Viceroy, Sunday, 29 September 2013 05:34 (ten years ago) link

I cannot watch The Invisible War tonight, I just can't. I already teared up during at least two sections of A Place at the Table.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Monday, 30 September 2013 23:21 (ten years ago) link

yeah i cried through most of The Invisible War, so don't do if you're not ready for it.

just1n3, Monday, 30 September 2013 23:26 (ten years ago) link

Watch it anyway. It's great.

polyphonic, Monday, 30 September 2013 23:30 (ten years ago) link

I just solved my problem, there's an Irish dance documentary called JIG that promises to be entrancing.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Monday, 30 September 2013 23:39 (ten years ago) link

Alert: The Pruitt-Igoe Myth is really something. It's quiet and warm and loving, despite (which I never knew) the portrayal of PI as a failure and abomination, but even if you knew about that, you can't get out of the way of the love. The footage of the slums that people left to move into the then-new and gleaming housing project might be the most striking.

Man.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Thursday, 3 October 2013 03:16 (ten years ago) link

Sorry, the portrayal of PI as a failure elsewhere in the discourse and history, not in this documentary.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Thursday, 3 October 2013 03:29 (ten years ago) link

PIM was good.

Jeff, Thursday, 3 October 2013 03:46 (ten years ago) link

So is My Cat From Hell, now available!

Jeff, Thursday, 3 October 2013 03:47 (ten years ago) link

if you wanna get scared by people watch Doomsday Bunkers. yikes! keep thinking i'm gonna see nazi flags in the prepper basements. all about "preppers" and their sad tortured families. kinda like hoarders only everything is neater.

scott seward, Sunday, 6 October 2013 18:29 (ten years ago) link

and part of me will always think underground houses are cool.

amazing to me what a science these shows are. the guy who builds bunkers has the EXACT same script as the pawn star guy and the storage guys and all the other reality guys. its a well-oiled machine.

Salinger documentary is streaming. do i need to see it? i don't know if i'm really all that fascinated.

scott seward, Sunday, 6 October 2013 18:36 (ten years ago) link

As some other critic pointed out, most of the amusement stems from seeing how often they have to repeat the same few photographs over and over and over.
