AICN-DOWNUNDER: RUN FATBOY RUN, MARGOT AT THE WEDDING, AND THE TRUNCATED OSCARS

Margot at the Wedding by Horace Cox	Feb 26th, 2008 12:25:59 AM
Worth it just to see the scene with Nicole Kidman masturbating. Yummy!
Re: National Embarrassments by Horace Cox	Feb 26th, 2008 12:28:00 AM
I've never seen Richard Wilkins, but I refuse to believe he is worse than the collection of douchebags E! assembles for red carpets. If he is, I offer my sincerest condolences to our friends down under.
I'm too scared to watch Run Fatboy Run... by LordPorkington	Feb 26th, 2008 12:39:45 AM
I don't want to see Simon Pegg in anything less than brilliant and without Nick Frost and Edgar Wright's involvement, this movie could be too painful for me to see sigh
I Fucking Hate Wilkins by MMacKK	Feb 26th, 2008 01:14:23 AM
And Nine. They are all about this globalised bullshit of spreading news as soon as it hits. The most bastardised ceremony ever. Not for true film fans. And Jon Stewart rules all.
Horace Cox, oh yes he's that bad by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Feb 26th, 2008 01:16:40 AM
this guy can't tell the difference between two actors of the same name, is renowned for walking out on films and also for reviewing films he hasn't actually watched.
Farrell, PA by Horace Cox	Feb 26th, 2008 01:17:09 AM
That dump is just across the border from the dump where I live. I had no idea that crime-ridden hive of scum and villainy was infamous even in Oz. Sweet!
NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks by Horace Cox	Feb 26th, 2008 01:21:26 AM
How the hell has Wilkins not already been snatched up by some lame network here in the US? I thought all nations were required by international law to send their worst TV talent to serve time on our airwaves. Not that we want him, mind you, it's just miraculous some Suit hasn't lured him here yet. That talentless assbag Jeff Zucker will probably hire him at NBC Universal before long. You'll owe us one for this when it happens...
I've seen E news and such, yes they suck by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Feb 26th, 2008 01:27:05 AM
but Wilkins is our most head shaking 'celeb'. His suckage should be Carbon taxed.
Wilkins.. by ThePorkChopExpress	Feb 26th, 2008 02:12:04 AM
Surely he doesn't think he's doing a good job? Surely nobody else thinks his wormy, pointless and un-cultured comments have in any way some kind of watchability or likability? Someone out there must think his presence on that carpet is succesful, doesn't feel the same reaction as nails on a chalkboard and doesn't feel like hurting people every time he spurts bullshit from his mouth... Robert Connolly's "embracing innovation" needs to include a full chapter dedicated to removing Richard Wilkins and Angela Bishop not only from the face of Australia's international entertainment industry, but from the face of Australia all together... Now i'm gonna go and spew just from thinking of them both in the space of 2 days.
Surely Wilkins shares that title with that other so-called by half vader	Feb 26th, 2008 02:25:44 AM
'entertainment reporter' Angela Bishop. Remember when she gave away the ending of Phantom Menace before the film's release? I think she was interviewing Liam Neeson if I recall correctly. Squirms all 'round.
Sorry PorkChop by half vader	Feb 26th, 2008 02:27:56 AM
Missed your mention of no-neck Bishop there. And yes I concur. Hopefully most here are too young to remember when he hosted MTV. Yoiks.
I once sat in a makeup chair next to Dick Willies by half vader	Feb 26th, 2008 02:29:19 AM
Pity me.
Wilkins by Leedrick	Feb 26th, 2008 04:34:29 AM
Angela Bishop is far worse than Wilkins - I had almost forgotten about her. I remember a star wars special she did leading up to the phantom menace where she clearly had no idea what she was talking about. Fog vs Mist comment made me laugh aloud. Sorry, I mean LOL.
Run Fatboy to the remainder bin by Aloy	Feb 26th, 2008 04:36:30 AM
What a cliched mess of a movie. To see Pegg, playing an unattractive, no ambition schmuck who runs away from his gorgeous pregnant, talented bride to be just sets the most boring tone that follows one cliche after another and with very few decent laughs. Why make this in England? It could easily have been another bad American flick. Schwimmer, you had a talented cast and you gave them formulaic crap to work with.
Why Didn't they cast a fat actor? by FILMFUNK	Feb 26th, 2008 04:40:56 AM
Love Spaced and Pegg and everything but he's been in a few duds lately like that pile of shit - The Big Nothing and i looked at this in the rental shop and put it back because it gave off whiffs of David Swimmer lame!
RYAN SEACREST by skywalkerfamily	Feb 26th, 2008 03:12:32 PM
and Gary Busey. In your face Austrailians.
i remember when Wilkins hosted MTV Australia by Happyfat73	Feb 26th, 2008 04:49:57 PM
And I think his hair has almost come full circle since then. My favourite Dick Wilkins moment was, post 9/11, when he interviewed Anthony Mundine, who made those outrageous comments about the US "deserving it." At the time, I was bemused that so much furor could be caused by a Dick Wilkins interview of a guy who gets punched in the head for a living. Not exactly the pinnacle of credibility there from either party.
That red carpet thing was only half an hour? by Mr_Sinister	Feb 26th, 2008 06:13:05 PM
It felt waaaay longer. I had to keep switching the channel because Wilkins was so embarrassing and missed the start of the show. I think he's far worse than Angela Bishop, but yeah, she's not too great herself. Why does Nine persist in using him? I remember when he reviewed Freaky Friday and White Oleander... he actually thought Lindsay Lohan and Alison Lohman were the same person.
Death to Channel 9 by greenmartini	Feb 26th, 2008 07:08:57 PM
Richard Wilkins = greatest douche our country ever produced. Why keep him employed. Channel 9s greatest crime however was included images of Day Lewis holding up the Oscar in their news promo BEFORE THE AWARD had been given! Bastards. Thank God above their share price, ratings and credibility are falling faster than an Italian soccer player. and good call on Bishop too - that troll makes E News look like the BBC!
Wilkins interrupted Ryan Seacrest while he was live... by ephor	Feb 26th, 2008 07:20:16 PM
I was watching the Today show on the morning of the oscars and Wilkins was on the red carpet with Richard Reid and he said to Karl (the today show host) "Oh look there's Ryan Seacrest, should we say hello" Karl says sure so Wilkins walks over to Seacrest, taps him on the shoulder and the bemused seacrest shakes his hand while wilkins says "Hi Ryan how are you. Oh you're not live are you?" HAHAHA it was the most awkward and funny thing I've ever seen. Seacrest had mic in hand and was addressing a camera... Gees wonder if he's doing anything important. It's like Wilkins was so keen to hobnob and giddy with red carpet excitement that he forgot what those boxes with lenses at the front do.
The ONE good thing Wilkins did on MTV by half vader	Feb 26th, 2008 11:39:55 PM
Was when he (well not him personally but) showed that music video of Russel Crowe in makeup and blow-waved hair singing some lame pop song that was supposed to "launch" him (ha! and people STILL don't give a crap about his music). The best bit? From memory he was called "Russ LE-ROQ"!!
Okay. So, I'm a plant. by Scathing	Feb 27th, 2008 02:56:50 AM
