[Classic Jorge]

I guess it could work though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Laurel and Hardy, not you.

[Berni]

Or keep failing to take a piano into an apartment.

They are ace. FACT.

[Classic Jorge]

The only person that comes close to Buster is Jackie Chan.

[Berni]

Coogan was from. And Coogan can undoubtedly do a good impression of him.

John C Reilly could work.

Is it going to be silent?

[Berni]

Jackie Chan comment basically made it hipster squared.

[Luis Anaconda]

much more appreciative of it now

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

wait for something good to happen. I always thought they should end a movie with a suicide pact. They'd smile as they pressed the plunger, so relieved to be escaping their lives of utter misery and failure.

And they're a pair of c**ts.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

while Stan is sustained by a malevolent idiocy. I love them.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I assumed it was made for retarded people.

[Classic Jorge]

I dare you to watch that and not wince

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

There's that gag about the Macon / Cacon country.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

The Chinese ones are really rather brilliant.

The bicycle scene in Project A is a thing of beauty

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

retard chinamen. They're all well clever, aren't they?)

No, clearly the film I saw was aimed at an audience of retards, or Americans. I appreciate there's very little difference.

This is no Tom Cruise one where a cheaper midget is brought in for the wide angle shots, oh no, this is jackie jumping off a motorbike onto a train, jackie is hanging from a rope ladder on a helicopter being smashed through billboards, it's jackie recreating harold lloyd's clock scene three times - after falling off the first two and breaking his hip.

[Classic Jorge]

It doesnt mean Jason Statham should play him in a biopic though

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

to laugh uproariously at the 'funny' bits, just to show how 'clever' they were.

I hate the educated. c**ts to a man.

[7evens]

I used to love the bloke with the double take squint too.

[Berni]

Actually, Jason Statham was very funny in 'Spy'. In fact, the whole film amused me much more than I'd expected.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

Has anyone got his number?

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Robert Downey Jr is something of a hero of mine, though. Don't diss the Downey!

[Classic Jorge]

I'm glad Junior has found some redemption, he's ace as Tony Stark

[Berni]

Complaining that such an event is full of pleased-with-themselves edu****s is like complaining that the sea is wet.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

Mind you, it was a crushingly dull film. Nobody made dull, bloodless, overlong and worthy films like Richard Attenborough.

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

nudey bits in it and everything - Bridget Fonda if I recall. And Dana Harvey before he disappeared off the face of the planet, playing a retard very effectively

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

When I saw Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart do it, several of the audience actually lost control of their bladders at the mildly amusing bits.

c**ts.

You see the same competitive c**titude at non-touristy Shakespeare, Chaucer, and anything Greek.

[Classic Jorge]

I quite often get mixed up between Matthew Broderick and Downsey Jnr.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I never tire of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

[Berni]

[Berni]

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang :thumbup:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

That's right. Laughing. At Harold Pinter. :rolleyes:
