Actors Out Of Context

 

An occupational hazard: sometimes scripts have you saying things you’d rather not. Dennis Hopper’s and Liam Neeson’s are the best.

Timmargh: That's hilarious, especially the Liam Neeson one.

Jason L: Meh, but the Dennis Hopper one looks like it comes from a clever film. I am woefully uninformed about films, and half of his IMDB entries could involve an assassin. What is it?

Tomp: Land of the Dead. Not particularly clever.

Rob: Disappointing, Tom, maybe because I've wallowed in youtubian movie parody.

If you haven't seen them, 'StSanders' reworking of rock concert videos (and Star Wars) to remove any remblance of talent or sanity are worth a look. They created a minor stir at the nether end of last year - Youtube/Google yanked them because they're rubbish, but they can be found on various mirrors, like here:

Rob: Oh, and I meant to ask - in a completely unrelated way - have you seen Californication, which aired last autumn? I don't think I've seen you talk about it.

Very smartly written and directed little comedy about the titular location and it's sexual moires, with an ultra cynical David Duchovny absolutely nailing his performance (to which end, his Golden Globe). I can't recommend it more than saying his 'Hank Moody' has actually eschewed my boyhood hero Fox Mulder when I think of him. No mean feat.

See it! Write about it! Or if you already have, then let this be a tip-off to other TV fans.

Also, Lost, interesting, no?

‘Added effects to players when they earn an achievement, visible to other players nearby.’ Cool. But isn’t there an achievement for tricking an enemy Medic into healing you while you’re disguised? Would this not give the game away somewhat? ...
