Kevin Eldon - who was great in Brass Eye, Big Train and all that stuff - had his own show a few years ago, and that was embarrassingly bad, too. Again, just wacky-zany with no real point or bite.Agree with IdleRich btw that Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy was embarrassingly bad. The Boosh had gothic undercurrents which served it well, when you take that away you just get mirthlessly zany.
There is that weird scene where he has to pretend to be English and his ccent is terrible. An in-joke I suppose.Yeah I think the Brits all thought Idris Elba and Dominic West nailed the yank accents. Particularly as most of us had never seen either of them speaking in their real accents before.
But I bet Americans feel differently about it.
Makes sense. I didn't see him as the break-out actor to be honest.perhaps I'm in a minority but I liked most seasons of "Luther". also, as much as I love the wire and his character, I have to reiterate a point I made here years ago: his US homeboy accent was pretty bad. too affected, studied. maybe American ears are more sensitive to the nuance.
I never saw that but previously I liked Eldon.Kevin Eldon - who was great in Brass Eye, Big Train and all that stuff - had his own show a few years ago, and that was embarrassingly bad, too. Again, just wacky-zany with no real point or bite.
Think it coincided with punk culture approaching that twenty year historical gestation period where things become fully understood/realized/normalized etc. Nirvana embodied that: an actual spawn of punk culture but completely unable to do anything effectively counter cultural and subversive.What was that 90's American shock culture all about? We had the same thing in the UK with lad mags, Eurotrash, etc.
Was it something to do with the cold war ending?
Or was it a delayed aftereffect of Thatcher/Reagan?
No, that was the Bree Louise. Different pub. It got pulled down because of HS2, although it was quite notorious for the smell.if thats the pub im thinking of it's the worst smelling pub ive ever drunk in. in fact im pretty sure they've pulled it down now cos of the smell
I guess you're at least half-joking here but I think the USSR was pretty good at promoting traditionally male occupations for women, especially in science and academia, or at least a bit better than most Western countries at the time - so this scene is probably less unrealistic than if it had been in a story about the Sellafield or Three Mile Island disasters.i had another gamergate moment watching Chernobyll recently. theres a woman nuclear physicist character who realises what is going on before it is offically announced and works out how to deal with it then goes and demands to speak to the leadership and saves the day.
i thought, that aint real is it. they've made up a completely ridiculous fantasy strong female character to indoctrinate us with feminism. i dont agree with this,.
