[Albion] To bother Paul Barber at the cinema or not last night.....

[albion534]

1917 was fantastic, and yeah. Leave him alone. He’s not at work.

Stood next to Barber and his wife and I think father-in-law at the queue at the Marina to watch '1917' last night.....(don't bother watching the film if you are thinking about it, it's pants)

To be fair, PB thought the film was a documentary about the consequences of the Albion finishing 19th or 17th this season

Well I sort of agree with the OP. It wasn't pants, it was artistically watchable but it wasn't great movie, IMO of course. I don't think it deserves the rave reviews it's getting, I got the feeling the whole way through it was a set of cliched vignettes strung together.

An actor bloke I play football with, who just turned down a role as one of The Penguin's main sidekicks in the new batman film, said of 1917 that the plaudits are right for the cinematography, but how it's told is of regular Joe's written by a set of Cambridge snoots, so that character construction and dialogue felt a bit off and disconnected. I sort of go along with that. Stunning to look at for the most part, but how it's strung together seeming a bit boyish.

Adults that pester footballers and Albion staff when they are ‘off duty’ do my canister in.

Saw Dan Burn in Monkey Business with his kids a month or two back and there were even people sniffing round him then.

The absolute worst are blokes in their forties or fifties stopping Albion players young enough to be their kids for selfies they then upload to BHA related Facebook pages. ‘Just bumped into Geatan Bong in Aldi!’ Literally shoot me now.

I am normally in the ‘leave them alone, they are off duty’ camp. But not PB. I do not dislike the man, I think he does many good thing, but he also lectures from on high without risk of being challenged. He needs to be made aware of grass roots feeling, not neo liberal new fans preferences that sit all too easily with his modern football approach.

I don't think you understand the word "neoliberal".

 

[Guinness Boy]

You saw Barber? Out?

This. No dress restrictions in the 1917 Club shirley?

I would have leant over and taken the top off his coke bottle.

These are good posts.........

The correct answer was to whip out your phone and send him an email.

You’d have had a response long before you took your seats to watch the film.

And a response more lengthy and epic than the film itself.

Why did he turn it down?

Do I ask him about signings? Or leave him alone as he's off duty? In the end thought, "Nah, not the right place, he's off duty."

Am I the only one here who thinks that, or do you lot think he's fair game at anytime to talk Albion matters?

P.S. Paul if you are reading this, dress your age...….you are not 30 anymore

You made the correct decision.

 

[Seasider78]

Did someone tell him he had left the Amex and forgotten to turn the lights off?

 

[Withdean and I]

Definitely shouldn’t bother him when out enjoying time off.
I was disappointed with 1917 though. It was cleverly filmed but I found it preposterous in many places. A bit too ‘Indiana Jones does WW1’ and it didn’t make me feel in a way that Savjng Private Ryan did.

No idea. But I thought the film was excellent and will come to be regarded as a classic.

To add I’ve had a fair few celebs / politicians in the cab over the years. Some are as good as gold, others are not what you’d except (the persona vs real life)

Generally I don’t bring up I know who they are or stray into their profession unless they offer an in or we are talking about something topical.

I normally relax this rules for footballers who typically don’t shut up when you start them off.

He said it just wasn't quite enough of a part. A couple of scenes just with batman included, but another shoot-em-up role didn't seem right. A brave decision, considering all the benefits that would have come with it.
