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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Watch it anyway. It's great.

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.

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.

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.

I misread that as "harvey weinstein: salinger is a master in spin class." I think I briefly thought I was in the Onion thread.

eh, i'll skip it. i haven't seen every episode of doomsday bunkers yet. or latest season of parenthood. or new girl. or how i met your mother. this latest season of himym is dragging for me big time though.

scott did you watch rules of engagement?
― balls, Sunday, 6 October 2013 23:19 (ten years ago) link
i used to watch it when we had cable. but haven't watched it in forever. don't really feel the need to see the ones i missed. i kinda had a crush on the one wife. not the blonde wife. she was sexy.
― scott seward, Sunday, 6 October 2013 23:23 (ten years ago) link
it must have been on cbs before or after something else i watched every week. big bang theory or whatever.
I still feel horrible for watching New Girl, scott, but I feel the newest episodes have something to provide by giving the funniest roommate more material. Also, he gets a cat.
― beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Sunday, 6 October 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah i didn't have cable for the entirety of rule's run and always kinda scoffed at it whenever i found out it was still on the air but then i got cable again and it's in syndication and it was enjoyable enough, i'd guess any average episode is better than an average episode of himym though i doubt there was ever a period you could claim rules was a good show whereas w/ himym those first couple of seasons were actually good. i like patrick warburton though. still hanging in there w/ himym though i might just go back to waiting til i hear if it was a 'good one' or not.

laurel, how was the irish dancing movie? good music? fiddlin?
― ian, Monday, 7 October 2013 00:00 (ten years ago) link
The music is shockingly bad and in lots of the competition footage is replaced by soundtrack pieces. Watch it for the dance moms and drinking games, not for the fiddlin'.
