You have just reminded me, my stepmother used to say "duff" for anything that is broke...

Shane Brokey :facepalm:

Yep, duff was used at ours for a while. And if something was good, a strange, protracted “Niiiice one” but I think that was a bit tongue in cheek.

I try and avoid films with Vin Diesel in, a guarantee of a shite film.
Meryl Streep annoys me.
Judi Dench annoys me.
John Barrowman annoys me.
Nicholas Lyndhurst annoys me.

Sean Connery annoyed me, except in a couple of films.

John Barrowman running, notably in Torchwood sits alongside the late Dale Winton's little dance at the end of the National Lottery, as peak camp.

This probably sits in the British build them up and knock them down pile, but for me it doesn't matter how big your TV is it isn't going to be big enough for Idris Elba's head.

Bullock and Diaz do tick a lot of non acting boxes.

I don't have a 'freepass' role/image for Diaz like I do Sandy B.

She could be reading the back of a cereal box while dressed as a cereal box and I'd still say 'but Demolition Man...'.

:lolol:
The only things I have ever rated Idris in was The Wire and The Office. A very wooden actor. And he comes across terribly in interviews.

When I first got to the States people kept banging on about how great SNL was. Watched it once and it really was shite. I know back in its heyday it produced people like Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy and John Belushi but those days are well past

I watched it when Eddie Murphy was in it (early 80s) and it was the best American comedy on TV (in Vancouver).

It was still shit, though :shrug:

A comedy actor who l find totally overrated is David Jason, something of a comedy icon in this country l know, but not with me.

Excellent as Del Boy in Only Fools l'll admit, but in most of his many other roles he didn't do much for me at all, and in the guise of Jack Frost l thought he over acted terribly.

I agree with every aspect of that.

In particular about Frost, in which he was awful and the programme was awful. If I’d been his boss police-wise I’d have sacked him before the end of the first programme..

I hate to say it, but I think David Jason is a dreadful actor. He is Del Boy, so that was perfect for him. And he's ok in Open All Hours and Porridge, because he's bouncing off the genius Ronnie Barker. But in everything else, he's not a good actor at all.
