I'd tell Connery and Dalton that they're both British, why not? Connery was fine and still remains fine with being British when it suits him like when he got his knighthood and is still happy to use the Sir title. Non-brits can also be knighted by the queen but only brits get the Sir title. If Connery wants to be just Scottish, and not Scottish and British I'd tell him he can always denounce his title. There's nothing stopping him except his hypocrisy. I like Connery btw, he's one of my favourite actors but some of his views are strange.
As for Dalton, he was born in Wales to an English father (which strangely you left out) and left before he was even four and grew up in England. I don't see any reason why he would hate being labelled British as you passionately seem to make out. It actually makes much more sense for him to identify as a brit more than anything else.
"The hard working Americans make 20 or 30 episodes a season"
Hard working? Those "hard working Americans" on US sitcoms are a team of writers unlike britcoms which are mostly just one or two writers. In Britain, it is truly the writers personal show not one by a committee.
For instance John Sullivan on Only Fools and Horses wrote every single episode of it on his own as well as wrote and sang both theme tunes. How many US sitcoms have writers done that on?
And even though the UK doesn't do as many episodes per series, it doesn't mean the actors are lazy either because unlike in the US, they're rarely typecast and have the skills to branch out so they can do other shows and even theatre in between.
Frankly your post is bollocks.
I don't think the audience were groaning at the look of the food, just the way it was piled up in the pan and he just scraped it all onto his plate.
Yes, I love Apocalypse.
The hospital scene, Richie hiding under the blanket, and Eddie dressing up as the grim reaper. Great stuff.
Also, Eddie doing his Sean Connery impersonation (as Michael Caine) always cracks me up.
"Are you referring to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, or both?"
Why not all three? Clinton and Bush being draft dodgers doesn't change the fact that Trump's one too, does it?
"At least we get to elect them. In good old Mother England you are stuck with the choice of the sovereign, who gets his or her right to make the choice from God"
First, learn some facts. The Queen is nothing more than a sovereign cash cow. She doesn't get to make any political decisions about the UK. She doesn't get to even decide who has state visits. I'm an anti-royalist myself but if there was a vote tomorrow to get keep the royal family or get rid of them, I would vote to keep them because they bring in a lot of revenue. And don't pretend that America has some great democracy by saying you get to elect them. Hilary Clinton got more votes than Trump in the 2016 election but Trump got in because of the electoral college. Great democracy. Everyone got what the majority didn't want. Oh, and there's no such thing as god. Ironic that you don't think the queen, a real person, should have a say on anything which she doesn't anyway, while you and a lot of other americans bow down to a mythical man in the clouds.
"We are unfortunate that criminals can get guns here, but they can do so in any country on Earth".
But not every country on Earth has the gun crime America does. Can't leave home until you're 18, can't drink until you're 21 but anyone can buy a gun. Great law.
Agreed. She was a stunner.
Yes she was. A real stunner here.
Get a sense of humour.
There's some very funny stuff here but 1's much better.
Agreed. The best stage show by far.
The only thing I've ever heard is that Mayall wanted to make a political sitcom and approached Marks and Gran to write one for him and this was the terrific result.
One of the best ever.
I prefer this by far, it's much funnier and more enjoyable to me, but they're both so completely different in style and tone why even compare them? Not every satire has to be subtle and realistic.
Denise Richards has said that one of the reasons she divorced him was because she caught him watching gay porn with people who looked suspiciously underage.
Tarantino's a coward. He won't.
How about break off contact with him?
"It wasn't just rumors or gossip. It wasn't second hand. I knew he'd done a couple of those things". Yet there's photos of them together smiling and laughing together over the years, even until recently? The fact that he remained friends with him when he knew tells you everything about him.
They probably are despicable on paper, and they would have being with two non-charismatic actors in the roles, but with Connery and Caine in the parts, they were funny and extremely likeable.
No. The main reason it works is because of Connery and Caine.
I don't know, every time I see Eastwood in a film where he's playing the Korean War vet, I always laugh at the fact that he was sat around a swimming pool in sunny California during that time in real life.
Agreed. A complete waste of film.
