Popular Post Ginko Posted December 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2014 Also contains one of the best scenes in any TV show ever. The one continuous long shot where Rust is undercover and making his way through the ghetto. Breathtaking stuff. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've got nothing against him as a person, seems like a real good guy actually. I'm just don't like the Screenwipe stuff because I feel as if the angry man having a rant routine is played out and boring. I think he's better when he's a guest on other people's shows and isn't following a script, just being himself. ...he's primarily a writer. If he follows a script it's because he's written it, so he is being himself. Just because it's a script he's written himself doesn't mean that he's actually being himself, to me his persona on Screenwipe is a put on even if it is a persona that is used as a vehicle for his own thoughts. Just saying I think he comes across better when I've seen him without a script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly plays the "cynical, moans about everything" character very well though (even better than our own CED ). I doubt he's like that in real life though, as you'd have to be at least a little bit happy if you were married to Konnie Huq! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2015 Esio Trot was fun (the book was always a favourite with my kids). Didn't need Corden narrating, though, a simple voiceover would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want someone simple to do a voiceover, then James Corden would be ideal if you ask me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been happy with Corden doing the voiceover, instead on onscreen, walking around London doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't need Corden narrating, though, a simple voiceover would have been better. I mentioned it to a couple of my younger family members on christmas day, pained me that they'd never heard of esio trot, was always my favourite RD book (subject to change) to me theres only georges marvelous medicine left to make, i know they are remaking BFG, i think boy and going solo would make for decent TV too especially some of the pilot stuff in going solo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matilda in particular was brilliant with DeVito and his missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I was a huge Roald Dahl fan but I must admit I've never heard of Esio Trot Edited January 2, 2015 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think I only ever heard of it courtesy of the 'also by Roald Dahl' bit at the front of the books. I liked The Twits best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Well, finished The Wire. Ended the way I thought it would but with a few surprises I wasn't expecting. The last episode should have been stretched to three episodes I think instead of the one and a half hours, it would have allowed the glimpses in the closing montage to hit home more i.e Bubbles, Duquan, Levy/Ronnie stuff. All in all though, wow, what a show. Best show ive ever seen that didn't have David Duchovny in it. It holds up today and is still as relevant as it was. Likely we will never see something that 'real' again. Oh indeed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
