The Exploding Girl . . . by kevinwillis.net	Jun 26th, 2009 09:32:58 AM
Best film title in a long time. I just like the sound of it.

Check out Tom Hardy in the BBC drama, 'Stuart: A Life Backwards'. It's a true story about a homeless drug addicted criminal suffering from muscular dystrophy. Sounds depressing, but its great entertainment thanks to Hardy. The man's a phenomenal talent - he did a low budget fantasy called Minotaur (the greek horny man-bull) which was bloody awful - really bad. But i watched the whole thing cos Tom Hardy is so great.

Bronson by richardphilip	Jun 26th, 2009 10:28:29 AM
if anyone does see it and likes it id strongly recomend his book. Some of the stories are hilarious in a dark way obviously. my personal favourite is where he is holding some prisoners hostage and demands " a cup of tea and a helicopter ". he also claims to have held more hostages than sadam hussain.
Bronson is pretty good by Jarek	Jun 26th, 2009 10:44:43 AM
I enjoyed it a fair bit.
Fuck the Geeklove, Bring Bronson by j_difool	Jun 26th, 2009 11:05:55 AM
so sick of all the stupid anticipation for bad films. Bring Bronson on, so motherfuckers can get their asses kicked pronto.
Obligatory geek note by Tin Snoman	Jun 26th, 2009 11:35:32 AM
Tom Hardy played Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis. But don't hold it against him!
Bronson by photoboy	Jun 26th, 2009 11:47:03 AM
I fucking loved this film, the only thing that has made me laugh more recently was CharlesThomasMathews1978 telling BobOrci how shit his work is. Tom Hardy is going to be one to watch after this film, he's totally magnetic in it. The funniest bits being where the prison authorities treat Bronson seriously like some sort of hostage taker with demands, when all he really wants is a chance to beat the shit out of the guards again.
tom hardy by thinboyslim.	Jun 26th, 2009 12:10:56 PM
he's currently in a mini tv drama on sky called The Take based on a Martini Cole novel and he is fucking amazing. watch his star rise!
Go Tom Hardy! by BrooseTheScharuk	Jun 26th, 2009 12:19:14 PM
I thought he was awesome in Bronson. A good movie, but a great performance. Hard to believe he was that scrawny swish Picard clone in Star Trek Nemesis.
Bronson's Tom Hardy in Nolans's new scifi-film by pipergates	Jun 26th, 2009 12:47:18 PM
that crazy boy is on his way. and what about Refn's Valhalla Rising, eh?
Tom Hardy was also in Band of Brothers as Janovec by Big Jim	Jun 26th, 2009 01:57:45 PM
Appears briefly in the last 2 episodes.
Don't get the Hardy love, by TELF	Jun 26th, 2009 02:48:22 PM
I always find his performances so mannered. Inauthentic. Maybe it's just the nature of the roles he's played. I saw him in a show in the West End and he really seemed ill at ease on stage. But he is certainly fearless in his choice of roles. And I agree that Stuart: A life Backwards is worth seeing.
Fuck Ed Hardy by Garbageman33	Jun 26th, 2009 03:31:18 PM
Anyone who wears that shit is a douchebag. Oh, Tom Hardy. Never mind. But those clothes are really douchey.
Bronson is the shit by GiveMeAnFinBreak	Jun 26th, 2009 05:15:21 PM
Absolutely bugfuck crazy. What's not to love?
As far as mumblecore's concerned ... by GiveMeAnFinBreak	Jun 26th, 2009 05:18:08 PM
Any and everybody involved in the genre should be quarantined from the rest of society. Send 'em all down to Guantanamo, lock them in, and don't give them any food. Oh, and videotape it. THAT would be entertaining, and far more socially relevant than any of the shit they've polluted our air waves with.
Will there be a funnier movie than In The Loop in 09? by The Wrong Guy	Jun 26th, 2009 10:08:17 PM
I say no. Armando Iannuci, Steve Coogan, James Gandolfini and Peter Capaldi augers well for it. Haven't seen it, mind you. I'm in Australia. But I doubt anything will come close to it's undoubted brilliance. Just great that there's still comedy a long, long, long way away from the overly-sentimental Apatow-formula.
Humpday question: by PinkyChodai	Jun 27th, 2009 12:51:48 AM
If you take a simple gay joke and stretch it out over 80 minutes, does it become not only funny, but a brilliant commentary on modern American gender roles and male relationships? Answer: NO. But you can sure fool a lot of people into thinking you're a brilliant storyteller even though you can't be bothered to learn to use a real camera or write a bloody script. It doesn't matter that Humpday is just as under-produced as Transformers 2 is over-produced, it's still, like Transformers, totally devoid of CONTENT.

Bruno...
TELF by DC Films	Jun 27th, 2009 04:04:20 AM
Watch Tom Hardy in the BBC drama, 'Stuart: A Life Backwards'.
Also... by DC Films	Jun 27th, 2009 04:07:39 AM
Rocknrolla was just about ok - bit of a mess. But Hardy was the best thing in it.
Not Bruno. Can you say... One. Joke. Movie? by The Wrong Guy	Jun 27th, 2009 07:59:48 AM
And not any Apatow crap that comes out either.
BRONSON RULES by ElvisPresLeeHorsleyHarveyOswaldO prahWinFreeJackHorkheimer	Jun 27th, 2009 11:13:00 AM
Charlie Fucking Bronson. Imagine if Mark Chopper Reed and Franco Begbie had a child and it was trained in etiquette by Alex & his Droogs. Its fucking brilliantly done. Tom Hardy is definitely a rising star. This movie is amazingly shot as well, props to Larry Smith & Nicolas Winding Refn for giving each seen a lush picturesque quality. It's very Kubric-like in it's composition and camera movement, and it just looks really good..
