Comedy

[Southy]

Anchorman is awesome, I like most Will Ferrell movies I have seen, except Bewitched, and I couldn't really get into Elf

Bad Santa's a fucking funny film. Not that Wilf is in it, but it's fucking funny nonetheless.

I love Bad Santa, it's hilarious.

But seriously, check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's in my top 5 films ever.

When was it made? I'll have to seek it out.

I just watched 4 episode of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" back to back. Not a movie, granted, but still funny, funny stuff.

When I see Hugh Laurie doing comedy, it's hard to correlate it with what he's doing now.

When I see Hugh Laurie doing comedy, it's hard to correlate it with what he's doing now.

I know. It's like watching two different people. Both brilliant mind you.

Whenever I see him speak "normally", it makes me realise just how natural his accent is on House

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah and the thing is that he's copped flak for bunging it on! How bizarre.

I remember reading an interview a while back where he said he was disappointed when Jessie Spencer joined the cast... not because he didn't like him, but because he was allowed to use his own accent

It's not the best American accent I've heard, but certainly not the worst.

Reminds me of something Michael Caine said in his autobiography. When he did a movie early in his career (I think it was Hurry Sundown) he did an American accent and the British press criticised it heavily, yet the American critics were perfectly fine with it... and you'd trust the American critics on something like that.
