Oooh I will be on the lookout. I’ve got The Pest and it’s preventing me for going to see it.

“Lea! Lea! It’ll look better if you turn away from the camera.”
“Is this good?”
“More. Moooooore. Alright, now just a smidge further.” 
“I’m facing the wall.”
“Perfect! Now if you’d just turn a little more...”

This must be like those Magic Eye posters. I’m not seeing it, whatsoever. Not the first time I’ve heard this resemblance, so I guess it’s me.

His house looked like shit.

Will always remember him from Red Dwarf, such a small but memorable appearance in a single episode that I can still always laugh at.

That is a far funnier movie than it has any right to be.

Hey you leave Tom Petty outta this.  Also Mary Jane’s Last Dance and Something in the Air are bangers.

Could I please direct everyone to Will Harris’s Random Roles with James Caan?

Surprised that nobody’s mentioned his performance in Mickey Blue Eyes. Playing an increasingly exasperated gangster against Hugh Grant’s charming befuddledness is a winning duo, and that movie is much funnier than it gets credit for.

I adore this man.

Brian’s Song. Epic tearjerker. 

He must not have been an 12 year old boy in 2002

The passage of time was always going to make him irrelevant, as he was making movies just moments before high quality video cameras were built into everyone’s phones.

His Gen X audience needed him as an example, but subsequent generations never would.

The world is full of people whom time has passed by who seethe about…

Alternately, he’s in his 50s, had some scary health moments, has an improbably good life, including a kid he dotes on, a wife he knows is too good for him, friends and fans.

If he’s reached an age where his ambition is just making that core group happy, I’m not sure I can fault that.

Try not to make any legacy sequels on the way to the parking lot . . . hey get back here!

In a row?!

Yep. Most of the big cinema chains have now banned teens in suits.

Americans seem to be more used to interactivity from the audience during movies, so I guess this sort of thing stands out less. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone cheer or clap in a movie in the UK.

Takes place in 225 BC, in Qin Dynasty China. Stars Benedict Wong as the first emperor, trying unite the warring states, gradually leaving aside his idealism for brutality. No supernatural elements, pure historic biography.
