Thinking of all the French and Greek woofters now available?

Yes, in those days, Labour were Eurosceptic, as were the SNP actually; they now try to hide this fact. Meanwhile the Tories were largely pro-EU. But NB that he can only be referring to the EC (European Communities); the EU was f. 1993, and I will not tell you off for using ''Europe'' haha.

You’d think a man born to a North London hairdresser would be slightly more left leaning.  He actually lays into the left in this one Parkinson interview he had alongside Maggie Smith and John Betjemen, Parkinson, being the north country costermonger that he is, gets quite annoyed.

I saw the second Insidious movie in NYC. I was backpacking through the US and hadn't seen a movie in weeks, so I walked into the cinema and bought a ticket for the first movie that was playing and it turned out to be Insidious Chapter 2. Don't remember if I liked it.

How’d you backpack through the US then, whatcha get up to, how’d you go about it, how much it cost?  I ask cuz I wouldn’t mind doing some shit like that.

Actually quite interesting seeing a 35 yr old discussion on the matter.  Who would’ve thought my mate Ken would be pro Europe.  Then again I imagine he would be as he was often critical of the left and they were quite anti-Europe at the time.

Mainly games played/goals scored and trophies won. Messi clearly wins if that's the criteria. 

What trophies though, when and how and with who on the squad with him?  I don’t think you can be on that Pele Maradona level without a world cup to your name for example.

Well if it's about the numbers there is no contest Messi wins all day. But it's not just about the numbers and that's why football is such an amazing sport. I can't split them too many factors to consider not least emotional and irrational ones. 

And why do we have to decide? It dont matter. The endless debate who is better Christiano or Messi? Do we know yet? We cant really know and who cares? It's only a few more years we can watch two of the best players ever and then who have we got? Raheem fucking Sterling? Do me a favour

Numbers as in who won what?  World Cup for instance, taking a team like Napoli from where they were to winning the league etc etc. But you’re right, why do we have to decide, its just trainspotter shit really, for the fun of the discussion, don’t mean fuck all really.

I think Messi is up there with him. Maybe not as much of an interesting character but on the pitch he's in the same class.

End of the day its about the numbers right?  Maradonna won the World Cup, smashed it in every league he played in.  Not saying Messi is shite, I think Messi is great...and worthy of mention among greats...Maradonna was something else though.  And to do all of what he did with all the shite he pumped into himself makes it even more incredible.  Your overall point appears to be that you shouldn't let his being a madhead factor into your reasoning which is correct.

Why?  

Yeah, if its funny, not if its like 'Barry, turn my levels up, I can't hear a bloody thing!  Alright Plainfield, this is our next number, of your second album...'.  The banter between Moon and Townshend for example is hilairious:

I just looked up his profile because I remembered him being in a bunch of films...

-He played 1st ever Klingon to meet a human on Star Trek Enterprise

- Batman The Dark Night  (Prisoner)

- Matlock (Bodyguard)

- Austin Powers Goldmember 

- Human Centipede 3

-  The Fifth Element

-  Little Nicky (His older brother)

- Busy Day

- Disney's Zootopia as the voice of Fennec Fox

 

He was born with a detached retina so he was blind in his right eye from birth.  Born in Compton, he went on to college and became the National NCAAII shot put champion.  The rest is history. 

Inspirational story.  An African American, born blind in one eye, in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the entire U.S., goes on to not only graduate college but to have both a professional wrestling and acting career...and became an easily recognizable and likeable personality from his movies..

 

 

Looked at his filmography Trespass, Posse, Don Juan DeMarco, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, The Players Club, The Wash with Dre and Snoop (how could I forget that?), I Got the Hook Up.

I wasn't sure who you were talking about when I read the thread title so I didn't click on it.  I immediately knew who it was as soon as I saw the first post, didn't need to play the video.  He was a unique, one of a kind "role" actor and he did it very well.  He was in several movies, from what I recall...and usually played the "big serious guy" that did not mess around.  Funny when he needed to be funny and serious when he needed to look serious.  And yes, I also remember him from his WWF/WWE days....he was one of the top guys for at least a few years. 

He'll be missed....and thank you for the memories, may you move forward in your eternal journey. 

No Holds Barred with Hulk Hogan (fair dues, that was a piece of shit ), Two of the Friday movies, Jackie Brown, Universal Soldier, Gang Related, TONS of others, ones people have seen a lot of and like, cult classics.

He also played Zeus in a movie with Hulk Hogan and was on the WWE wrestling for a bit in the 90's.

My mom and I and my brother once saw Tiny in the Dallas airport while waiting to pick up our dad.  We were too scared to go up to him. He didn't have a very happy look on his face. lol

Anyway, RIP. He was great in the Friday movie. "you got knocked the fuck out! lol Classic.

Shit, I woulda walked up to him, whats the worst he's gonna do in an airport?   Then again maybe not, but you're a girl, whats he's gonna say to you?  Shoulda gone up behind and went 'Zeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus'  

Fuckssake!

Weird. Right now there are millions of people being made redundant on a daily basis for a flu which kills 1%. Didn't see you show much concern for them. And when I mention the fisheries and coastal communities which were blitzed by your EC/EU, it produces nothing but ridicule. 

He's a fucking class traitor is what he is, the fat cunt

I would agree. Rope is actually now highly regarded but it flopped at the time; I just mentioned it because those two films, Under Capricorn and Rope, were made together as experimental pieces. 

Yeah, Rope is one of those hindsight classics.  I thought it was brilliant from the first moment I saw it, pure theatre, drama, tension...and Jimmy Stewarts little explosive end monologue 'YOU FOOLS, YOU'VE MURDERED!'

I possess all his films. Not sure if he made an outright ''bad'' film. Of his talkies, Jamaica Inn is most often cited, but then there are mitigating circumstances, chiefly arguments with Charles Laughton; it is enjoyable enough. There is a fair amount of criticism of his post-Psycho work also. Yes, Topaz is a bit of a Euro b-movie; Torn Curtain had some casting issues; Family Plot is a touch inconsequential; but there is a lot to enjoy if you explore those final few films. Mr and Mrs Smith is a fluff piece which he did for cash. Under Capricorn was a sort of experimental film which did not quite work - Rope also. 

I think those films are criticized in terms of like, the high watermark that Hitchcock stamped on his shit, they are by no means, at least to my mind, bad films.  Topaz, Under Capricorn, Rope, Torn Curtain, these are fuckin' at least 8 out of 10 films for me.

That is true but I'm glad Fellini, Scorsese, Kubrick and Kurosawa's career did not pan out in a similar manner as it would have robbed us of some masterpieces. 

 

It shows the fuckin' class of them too...and how tall a task it is to be a director like that.  Or someone like Hitchcock, I mean you've seen most of his films right?  How many shitters are there in that filmography?  And its deep as fuck too.

Coppola's career is a strange one. Released four* masterworks in the '70s then utter shite since. 

*Two Godfathers, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation.

After three of those four, as far as I'm concerned (as I don't remember The Conversation for some reason, I know I've seen it but I can't recall it for the life of me, I suppose thats as good as not having seen it), you don't need to make any more good films, thats it, you've put your marker down for life. 

Watched The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.

What a load of fuckin' pants, they've hardly done anything to it, alls they've done is put a little 3 minute scene that was previously in the middle of the film where Michael proposes to bail out the Archbishop in exchange for a controlling interest in International Immobiliare at the beginning and then basically just taken out the little 6 second bit where old man Michael falls off his chair and dies, instead putting a black screen at the end explaining when Cent Anni means (100 years basically) and 'A Sicillian Never Forgets'...what the fuck was the point of that?  I don't even think there is anything wrong with The Godfather part III but the most valuable bit, Michael dropping dead all old and alone at the end, is basically what they've taken out of it, all 6 seconds of it, I repeat, what the fuck was the point of that?

You've watched it then? Am I just being fucking thick or was it just a load of nonsense? What's the fucking story with those backward bullets and all that? I mean how is it that these guns are so dangerous when you have to be standing in front of the wall that the bullet was shot into to be shot by it? "Right you cunt, I'm gonna fucking do you! Errr, would you mind just moving over here and standing on that spot between that hole in the wall and this gun so I can shoot you?"  

I've not seen it, no, looked a load of bollocks to me.  I tend to avoid films that look overly complex, never really saw The Matrix properly, never saw the Bourne films, never saw Sixth Sense and all the gear that director made.

Thought it was fucking shit! Bored the arse off me! I hate it when they get all twisty turny plotwise cuz if I think it's shit there's always the nagging feeling that it's because I'm just too thick to understand it properly.  

I have the exact same thing...either that or like, I just can't be bothered to invest the attention in watching it throughly cuz it just looks shit.  I never watched any of those M Night Shamalyam films.

We ain't taking it mate, we're gonna do what we always do, go stand shoulder to shoulder at the mosque and beg Allah for a cure, followed by a quick scourge and a back-hander for the wife

They need to roll this shit out responsibly though.  Try it out on the old folks and the cripples first, lets face it, they got less to live for.  Then like...Millwall supporters, the unemployed, people with ginger hair.  Then like...country folk, all up north first basically.  And when we're absolutely sure it ain't gonna make you grow tits or have strange dreams about your mum, then try it on the normal people.
