    He truly is the gift that keeps on giving. His complete lack of any self awareness is one of his many admirable traits.

    I am all for renaming this thread in honour of Sir Steven.

    Carrott munchers of the world, unite, Sir Steven needs our appreciation.

    I am not sure I'm tired of seeing him in a movie just yet. 😉😁

    That could be his signature staple as Bond.

    In Bond 26, we initially just see the lower part of his face as he stuffs it with a carrot. Then it pans out and he utters the line or rescues some dame or whatever.

    All jokes aside, I still need to see his more recent films for myself. Chronologically, the most recent Seagal film I watched, was Born To Raise Hell (2010). That one is the worst I have seen so far.

    @Thunderfinger Correction, he would mumble the line, and in a southern(!) accent.

    Of course, small bits of carrot falling out as he does so.

    If memory serves, Daniel Craig is the only Bond actor who appeared frontally nude on film.

    The quality was awful when I saw it so I wasn't 100% sure but I'm pretty confident that Brosnan bares all in Nomads.

    In Live Wire too, if I'm not mistaken.

    I recently rewatched that one and didn't catch that, if it does happen. Might've been a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment that I didn't see, if so.

    I haven't seen it in ages, but if I remember you see a bit of his bum when he is reunited to his wife. I'm pretty sure you see her naked.

    I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it on a rewatch after maybe 15 or 20 years. I saw it when I was younger and only remembered the opening bit with the woman in the rigged car, the bit with the circus stuff (gave me OP vibes at the time) and the Home Alone-like finale.

    Never liked it much, not because it was a bad movie per se (okay, it's kinda is, but it has its moments), but I think the premise could have been so better developed with a more solid script, a better casting and a bigger budget.

    That said, and to get back on topic, I'm tired of big action movies relying heavily on CGIs and sci-fi or fantasy elements. I miss the good old days of stunt work and cheaper action flicks.

    "What's up, doc?"

    Good one. Dr. No, of course.

    Or maybe more Goodhead. With the good doctor succumbing to Mr. Seagal's charms. Eventually.

    I was never interested in seeing a Steven Seagal movie and never saw one (unless he popped up in some movie that I watched for other reasons, without myself identifying him), but apparently he's off his knockers regarding esoteric matters and also his support for Putin's criminal assault on Ukraine. Probably got his brains shattered a few times too much.

    I love quoting that line from time to time, knowing no one will ever recognize it.

    Plot twist: Sir Steven has only become a Russian citizen, as part of a CIA black ops mission to undermine Putin from within his own government.

    The thing is, Putin was drivin' his car or whatever in El Paso, yeah, and he was speedin' and all, and so deputy sherrif Seagal pulled him over and he was all like "license and registration please sir" and Putin was all like "hey, quit hasselin' me!" and then Seagal pulled out his gun and Putin screamed "powlies brutality!" and Seagal did that thing like that guy on TV did and then Putin got scared and went all "Yo, I can make you rich, dude, I can make you rich!" and then he gave Seagal his card and Seagal let him go and now Putin and Seagal are like bee-ef-efs or whatever and that's what that guy who knows Jerry told that other guy who also knows Jerry and then Jerry told me.

    Talking about recent Sov...I mean Russian citizens, have we heard anything from Gérard Depardieu lately?

    He's playing Maigret in a new adaptation :



    A better career than Segal, for sure.

    Having seen (and enjoyed) Operation Mincemeat last week, I've decided I'm tired of seeing wartime London in films and it's time we saw wartime somewhere else.

    They made a film out of that one?

    Yes, the second one. They also made a musical which plays (played ?) in London recently.

    Based on Ben Macintyre's book - the chap who plays Ian Fleming is quite the hottie, might make a good Bond:

    OM_GK_17012020_01658-e9af1e6.jpg

    Cool. I understand it just made it to Dutch cinemas. I hope I can catch it. Next agent ZigZag?


    @Gerard Is that also well-proportioned friend of Putin still his friend? Or was the prospect of no-taxes less appealing after all those sanctions?
  • Posts: 5,990
    Nope, they're not friends anymore. Apparently, there are things that Depardieu won't do. Who knew ?

    As it turns out only rabbit ears.

    Y'know, when I was a kid, the fingers behind the head was called 'Jackass' because the element of ridicule made the person look a jackass. Made sense. Why's it called 'bunny ears' these days?

    Maybe it's a generational thing or maybe different regions had their own slightly different take on its meaning? I have heard it called rabbit ears more though I'm not particularly young any more.

    Everyone has a better career than Seagal.

    In Vlady Putin's case, a personality transplant would be a suitable starting point.

    To get back on topic in a way, here’s something I’m getting sick of seeing: half the movie blockbusters being just MCU reunions with their casts. See below.

    https://www.thewrap.com/garfield-movie-samuel-l-jackson-joins-chris-pratt/

    Jurassic World was the worst offender of this case. Dear Hollywood, there are other actors who haven’t done Marvel movies.
