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.

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?
