Agreed. Family Guy is well better !

 

And have you heard about the word

Whilst on the subject of Family Guy, what is everyone's opinion on the Channel 4 version, Full English? I've watched the first 3 and up until last night I thought it was pretty weak. The main family characters are not funny but the send ups of the celebs are really cutting. Last night the Jamie Oliver in the tardis taking the kids to various times in the past to show them various famous people having it off was funny.

[Traf]

I don't get Family Guy either tbh.

[Zico]

thats brilliant, I wonder if ray liotta thought, what the fuck was going on.

 

De Niro Is ace, watched cape fear a few weeks ago and hes brilliant in that.

Im not having that, its an amazing scene !!

Is it big news?

[Traf]

Aye, Terry Christian's making a comeback.

He'll do anything to be on TV.

[Zico]

with regards family guy, does anyone else think that Peter Griffin looks like one of the food critics off masterchef?

 

well, you will now:

 

 

 

[superjohnmcginlay]

Yes, Charles Campion, every time I see him!!

Came late to family guy and only saw this episode ( I dream of Jesus) about 4 weeks ago needless to say my wife and daughter are about to throw me out of the house:

Awella....

[DazBob]

Watched Skyfall last night.

 

Decent enough, but still doesn't feel like a proper Bond filum to me. 7/10

 

One thing that particularly annoyed me though is the tube, rightly so, was busy as fook at rush hour. So why, when that train crashed, was there not a single person on it apart from the driver?

If ever there was a pointless job.

 

Eating stuff and telling folk what you think of it.

 

In fact any critic of any sort - stealing a living.

[DazBob]

I'd say critics are wanted and needed in society.

 

Rather than say they're simply stealing a living I just think to myself, "Jammy bastard".

Not for me, I can make up my own mind.

 

I hate prawns. Doesn't matter how many times that fat fella writes that prawns are great, to me they'll still be bottom feeders that taste of shite.

[Carlos]

As opposed to fish that eat them and other detritus, or vegetables grown in shit?

[mickbrown]

Doesn't matter what it is. Point is someone telling me something is fantastic doesn't make it so.

[DazBob]

Doesn't matter what it is. Point is someone telling me something is fantastic doesn't make it so.

 

Agreed.

 

... but if a critic went to a restaurant and said it was a filthy shithole, the food was dangerously under-cooked and the staff were rude, would you still want to go and try it for yourself?

[mickbrown]

Fair point. Mind you that Campion bloke looks like he could do with a good dose of food poisoning.

 

Food critic always strikes me as a nice, little nepotistic earner. Yeah, Raynor, Coren, I'm looking at you and your deeply unimpressive facial hair.

That's how long it takes to watch.

aye, I love Harrison Ford a bit more too for his - the best ones for me in that list, including Goodfellas, are:

 

 

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

 

The Improvisation: “Was that as good for you as it was for me?” asks Mr Blonde (Michael Madsen), having just sliced off a cop’s ear in Tarantino’s central set-piece.

 

What Was In The Script: The ear-cutting scene was in the script, but Madsen was let off the leash to do whatever he wanted dialogue-wise.

 

 

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)

 

The Improvisation: A swordsman all in black whips out his blade and prepares to dice Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) into sushi. Barely even moving a muscle, Indy whips out a pistol and shoots the show-off dead.

 

What Was In The Script: Indy was meant to engage in a massive sword fight with the blade-wielding antagonist, but when Ford came down with debilitating food poisoning the day before the shoot, the actor asksd if the scene could be altered to be less strenuous. The result is arguably far better than scripted.

 

 

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

 

The Improvisation: Han Solo is about to get frozen in carbonite by the evil Darth Vader. Seizing her moment, Princess Leia finally confesses her feelings for the rogue, telling him: “I love you.” Solo’s iconic reply: “I know.”

 

What Was In The Script: “I love you, too,” was Han’s schmaltzy scripted response. Needless to say that what Ford came up with trumps it completely – even if George Lucas initially hated it.

 

 

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

 

The Improvisation: R. Lee Ermey’s experience as a real drill sergeant came in handy for Kubrick’s war flick. Nearly every single insulting, caterwauled line that Earney delivered was of his own devising – including the classic: “I’ll bet you’re the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around.”

 

What Was In The Script: According to Kubrick, 50% of the insults that Earney delivered were his own. Meaning this one’s half and half.

not seen this yet, but if anybody gives a piss the maker of in Bruges as just released seven psychopaths in the uk. so if you're a fan of watching films surrounded by twitchy strangers i think it's on at cinemas near you. i'll wait for the dvd.

 

Having only seen the trailer, i can only say it seems highly amusing, the cast is strong but it looks a lot more hollywood than in bruges.

then again you can't really judge a film of 2 minutes of highlights, can you.
