Those are classic Gervais type jokes v Stiller there, as good as Brent was it's a good change up the Millman character.

I watched the Kate Winslet ep as well.
God she is fantastic.
"Like we get it, the holocaust was grim, move on."
"Schindlers bloody list, oscar. The Pianist, oscar. Oscars coming out of their arses"
"Now there's another way to score an oscar. Play a mental"

Can't remember any of the Winslet ep at all, not sure why.
I am.
The old lady liked it!Its the one where Andy goes to the bible bashing party all dressed up like Saturday night fever
Not anymore lol.
"It's a bit of a white lie innut"

You joke about it. It was unplugged for 2 days. Nobody noticed!
From memory the next ep with Les Dennis is really good.
Was gonna ask if you wanted to watch an ep the other day but thought you would be too busy.
I think Lamb v the little person is next haha.
edit - no that's the one after with Daniel Radcilffe.
Watched it again this weekend and came across this interview with the kid as an adult. I actually think his acting is fantastic and the best performance in it.Totally.
And the shot of the kid from behind on his bike- giving us a real "tour" of the place from his POV.
It really is a great film, yet I hate Shelley so much. She is the main and only downer really. I'm on Jack's side to kill her- and thats not a good thing.
I might read the book actually one day... I'll put it in the "queue".
Love John Candy in this bit. Spouting "polka, polka, polka" as if there'd be some instant recognition
To be fair they were very big in Sheboygan

Things I learnt from The Godfather I, II and III.
- Avoid oranges at all costs. If you ever see an orange, run, duck or both.
- Don't get attached to your horse.
- Leave the drapes open at all times.
- Once you try to leave, they will just pull you back in
- Avoid cannolli's as well as oranges, just to be extra safe
- When having meetings at restaurants with gangsters always check the toilets.

I learned from The Force Awakens that it is possible for one evil force (The First Order) to conquer an entire galaxy by using exactly the same technology and tactics of its defeated predecessor (The Empire) despite the passage of several decades, even building a third Death Star despite the fact that the first one was only around a matter of weeks after completion and the second one was destroyed before it was even completed.
Halloween 1978
According to Carpenter, Halloween was originally panned by most critics, who said the movie “wasn’t frightening”, “stupid”, “too low-budget”, and a “dumb idea”. Producer Debra Hill had set him clippings of these reviews, which made Carpenter extremely mad. A review in the Village Voice compared Halloween to Psycho, Carpenter to Alfred Hitchcock, and suddenly the positive reviews began to change. Critics re-reviewed the film, and the film’s box office began to climb.
Jamie Lee Curtis thought she would be fired after the first day of shooting. That night Carpenter called Curtis, who thought she was about to be let go. He obviously didn’t. The fact that she was Janet Leigh’s daughter probably didn’t hurt. According to Hill, Curtis wasn’t Carpenter’s first choice. She says he wanted the daughter of the person on Lassie. Oh, yeah. Her.
Carpenter notes the pace of Halloween, how it moves with a confident, steady progression and nothing is rushed. He notes Pauline Kael said in her review of Halloween that he has no sense of timing, but that the pace in Halloween is very deliberate to build the tension of when this killer is going to strike next. “All horror is basically a question of when is it going to happen?”
Michael Myers tilting his head back and forth to admire his handiwork was Nick Castle’s idea on set to indicate the character’s deranged mental state.
While filming, there was a number given to Curtis as to Laurie’s “terror level” during any given scene, indicating to the actress where her character is mentally, since Halloween was shot out of order. She also mentions Carpenter allowed her to make the character vulnerable by explaining to her it wasn’t a character weakness but a way to allow the audience in to where Laurie was mentally.
