Is Simon Pegg real life that bad? Never seen him being interviewed.
Hmmm. "Paul" does look like it might have the potential to be rubbish, maybe not worth the trip to the cinema.

He just takes himself massively seriously, which seems odd considering how light-hearted his films & TV always seems to be. You kind of expect him to be a little like he is when he's acting, and he's really not.

Though it's not like I've met the bloke, I'm just going on a handful of interviews I've seen.

finally watched The Expendables this weekend.. was decent for what it was.. wasnt expecting too much from it, but i thought it was a solid watch.. great to see Ah-nald (cameo) and Dolph back in movies..

Didn't really like it US (of course since you mildly liked it, I'd have to mildly dislike it 😉 ) but Dolph was the best thing in it. Of course if you can say a film's best acting performance is by Dolph Lundgren you have problems ...

A few 'classics' in here:

🙂 That's brilliantly bad for a Monday afternoon

The hair is bigger than the movies too

Brian Adams, Whitney, Celine Dion......I'm just wondering in what order I'd have them taken out permanently.

Captain

Just leave Whitney in a corner and she'll take care of herself.

Captain

Footloose is still the greatest single movie known to mankind.

... with the possible exception of Quicksilver:

If you can sit through the second clip you have a strong stomach 😆

Captain

😆

Burnwinter

Quicksilver really is a must see, probably the worst film ever in genre: Aspiring New York Whatever-du-Jour 😃

😆
That looks worse than Dirty Dancing and I know people who rate it as their favourite film ever.
That's frightening.

Has anyone seen "Paul" yet?
I quite like Simon Pegg but I've heard from an unreliable source that this is hilarious which makes me wonder if I'd find it funny.

I like Simon Pegg's films too (the man himself always comes accross as a pretentious knob), but Paul just looks like sold-out crap to me.

Will wait for the DVD.

Pretty much. Aimed more towards an American market, and as a result they lose the quirkiness of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. It wasn't terrible, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

USArsenal

if it isnt Simon Pegg a la Shaun of the Dead, then its not worth watching.. SOTD is classic

and Burnsy - yeah, i know you have to dislike what i like (although, Expendables was, as you said, only mildly decent). i actually thought Jet Li was funny in it (always "for my family")..

and Quicksilver? seriously? wow.. thats an oldie but baddie

Tony Montana

It's so weird seeing actors you know in films you've never heard of. Larry Fishburne? Wow!

asajoseph

Larry Fishburne's done LOADS of 80's / early 90's crap / b-movies.

Ricky1985

Don't tell me you've never seen The Matrix, Tony?

Tony Montana

I've seen that.

Probably the first movie i've seen him in. I've seen "What's love got to do with it" too.

Captain

He's been in some superb movies and some absolute dross.

Mystic River and Biker Boyz in the same year. :o

asajoseph

Event Horizon was very good.

Ricky1985

Boyz n the Hood!

Tony Montana

He's in Apocalypse Now!

Forgot about that.
