Hooray by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 03:55:13 PM
Gervais = magic
...even though the link appears to be broken by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 03:56:06 PM
I've no doubt it's funny...
Man, Borat III's coming out already? by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 10th, 2009 03:58:21 PM
They keep churning these suckers out don't they?
What the fuck is that supposed to mean? by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:02:52 PM
Borat 3? What shitty troll post. Anyways I can't wait for this film so far Gervais is 2-2 with The Office and Extras. If this is even 78 percent as good as those two it should be amazing.
Yes! I love Extras and the Office! by Mahaloth	Jul 10th, 2009 04:06:31 PM
Can't wait.
But...he was funny in that film "In Bruges" by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:07:23 PM

Cool. by CoursinLarry	Jul 10th, 2009 04:08:24 PM
I wasn't sure if Cemetery Junction was going to be an actual comedy, or more of a dramatic thing. So, this is good news for me, as I was hoping for a comedy. Also, "2-2" looks like "2 wins, 2 losses". Not "2 out of 2".
I AM NOT A PEASANT! by maliswan	Jul 10th, 2009 04:09:20 PM
I am "underemployed"!
that doesn't even qualify as a teaser by Ogmios_the_Eloquent	Jul 10th, 2009 04:09:51 PM
for christ' sake
it's shameful to see what passes for "pretty damn funny" by swivile bobble fizz fizz	Jul 10th, 2009 04:12:06 PM
really
LOL my bad CoursinLarry....you get what I mean though by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:15:08 PM

Gervais is pretty good ... office? by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 04:15:26 PM
I think everything I have seen him in has been gold. Probably the weakest was that Ghost Town
This isn't really a teaser.... by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:15:45 PM
it's more like a video announcement to put the film on radar...I guess?
That isnt funny, but by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 04:16:33 PM
maybe the next one will feature someone slipping on a banana peel or memorable catch phrase like Git 'er Done, or a pie in the face, something like that.
agreed Waqman by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 04:20:50 PM
Didn't see anything that revealed anything actually about the movie, unless it is a movie about mini hate on's for ralphie
no like? by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 04:21:52 PM
gavdiggity .. no love for Ricky?
Or maybe farts, and also an Apatow-Jewmedian! by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:21:54 PM
Yeah I coined the phrase "Apatow-Jewmedian"
Beniffer by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 04:26:32 PM
I love Gervais... I've liked everything he and Merchant have done. I was being feces-ish...
jewmedian? ooch .. by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 04:27:02 PM
not an apatow fan? I really don't understand the comedian jewish hate thing. They self hate, no? Isn't that enough?
New 'round here ... by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 04:29:14 PM
I see gavdiggity .. I know no one on here .. and I guess you guys post a lot on here .. just ignore me heheh .. I might not pick up on the subtle hints.
No I don't hate... I just think he's way too formulaic by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:31:38 PM
I think he needs to cast some new guys. The Hangover felt so awesome because there was no Will Ferell, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd etc. No Apatow involvement either. I miss American Comedies like that. You know what I mean? I still enjoy 40 year old Virgin from time to time, but meh, I want different.
Beniffer by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 04:36:55 PM
It's cool, no offense taken. New here, huh? May god have mercy on your soul...
RE: Man, Borat III's coming out already? by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jul 10th, 2009 04:37:19 PM
Everybody take a good look at that stupid, good for nothing post and remember who wrote it. He's an utterly useless Talkbacker.
LOL Baltar, my thoughts exactly... by TheWaqman	Jul 10th, 2009 04:45:08 PM

Something tells me Ricky Gervais by UndeadRabbitZombieJim	Jul 10th, 2009 04:56:23 PM
hasn't seen In Bruges. Fiennes is hilarious in that.
yes I do know what you mean Waqman by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 05:05:49 PM
The hangover was a good'ol'merican comedy. He does need a larger group to cast from and I think his bigger audience will mean a bigger pool to choose from, or atleast feel comfortable approaching for a project. And thank you gavdiggity, I am one from the north .. canada that is .. apparently we hate 'mericans and say eh
In Bruges by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 05:07:31 PM
Never saw it, want to though. Something about Euro that I like. Lived there for a bit maybe that was it? Dunno .... Now, could you use Jewmedia? as a co-usage with jewmedian?
Another surfire hit from Gervais - the king of surfire hits by JuanSanchez	Jul 10th, 2009 05:13:45 PM
I don't think I've actually seen Gervais in anything outside of Talk Show appearances - and I'm already sick of him. Send him on vacation and give Eddie Izzard some more work.
Ralph has aged well by Olsen Twins_Fan	Jul 10th, 2009 05:16:30 PM
Not that I'm gay, but if I had to, I mean absolutely had to, it'd be Ralph. And by "had to" I mean if it was either that or be gently chastised.
2-2" looks like by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 10th, 2009 05:21:15 PM
a draw
yeah by chipps	Jul 10th, 2009 05:33:24 PM
that was funny
Eddie Izzard by Beniffer	Jul 10th, 2009 05:33:40 PM
well, I can see the bridge between the two .. for sure .. but is ricky a new eddie? or something else?
I thought that was pretty funny by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	Jul 10th, 2009 05:48:32 PM
And what I say is all important for I am the true ruler of this world. Only my nemesis Kathy Bates can defeat me.
Beniffer - they're both just sarcastic, fat English guys by JuanSanchez	Jul 10th, 2009 06:09:57 PM
Only Izzard is actually really funny.
Fucking hilarious by Kobaal	Jul 10th, 2009 06:14:00 PM
...just like everything Gervais and Merchant touch. Missing Karl though.
...But not you... by TheBLIGHT	Jul 10th, 2009 06:17:19 PM
Only funny guy in that 'teaser' was Ralph... Ricky can suck it, with his twitchy-talking stuffitude. Peasants indeed, bahhh!
Could hardly put a teaser out yet... by Kobaal	Jul 10th, 2009 06:18:11 PM
They are only part way through principal photography. Just finished the outdoor scenes according to Ricky's blog.
TIME CHANGE FOR 7/23 AVATAR COMIC-CON PANEL... by PennsyDeux	Jul 10th, 2009 06:43:04 PM
It will begin at 3PM PDT on 7/23 and run until 4:15. Fox switched spots with Summit Entertainment's fall/winter preview, so that will go off at 1:45. The reason was that, per Mori's HitFix site, is "fearing the 'Twilight' faithful would go manic if they had to wait too long in Hall H (after no doubt camping out all night), Summit Entertainment has smartly switched Thursday preview slots with 20th Century Fox."
pennysDeux by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 07:06:36 PM
where'd you get this info?
scratch that... by gavdiggity	Jul 10th, 2009 07:07:01 PM
Mori's HitFlix site. gotcha...
extras christmas special by SQUIDDLY	Jul 10th, 2009 07:11:51 PM
Just watched it again, not a fan of Clive Owen but fuck me is he great in that scene. Also a funny scene from George Michael. Gervais and Merchant can do no wrong for me.
I'd love to punch Ricky Gervais... by loafroaster	Jul 10th, 2009 07:31:26 PM
...square in his fat, smug, simpering face. Talk about a one trick pony; the same character in every fucking one of his programmes/movies/appearances. It was fresh and original in The Office and, to an extent, in Extras, but now it's just fucking annoying. CHANGE THE FUCKING RECORD.
IN BRUGES is fucking awesome by WhoDis	Jul 10th, 2009 09:42:30 PM
and nothing but mad love for Rickey and Stephen. I'm in the theater already.
Loafroaster by HercsShowerRadio	Jul 10th, 2009 09:44:38 PM
The little fat boy in Mommy's basement chimes in with his words of wisdom. And what genius have you contributed to the cultural landscape to which we may compare all?
gavdiggity, here you go re; Avatar time switch by PennsyDeux	Jul 10th, 2009 10:12:10 PM

There was a legit fear the Twi-tards would snap up by PennsyDeux	Jul 10th, 2009 10:20:22 PM
all the good seats in Hall H and the Avatar faithful would be shut out. Remember last year, when the Twilighters showed up at 4PM the prior day to camp out for Hall H?
In Bruges is shere brilliance by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 11th, 2009 05:23:00 AM
Watch it and be amazed! Fiennes is funny, but its Brendon Gleason you wont believe. His acting shops in that are amazing! What. A. Film.
HercsShowerRadio... by loafroaster	Jul 11th, 2009 05:26:44 AM
I played a bear called Barnabus in the school play when I was 9, and I was fucking hilarious; all the parents thought so.
I LIVE beside Cemetary Junction by DeclarationOfArbroath	Jul 11th, 2009 07:49:06 AM
The junction in Reading, england that Gervais has named this film after. Ho hum.
loafroaster by Maxer	Jul 11th, 2009 10:40:55 AM
That made no sense.. His character in The Office was completely different than in Extras. He was actually playing a character in The Office, while he was basically playing himself the comedian in Extras. And I'm guessing you haven't seen anything else he's done.. soo.. nice call.
Maxer... by loafroaster	Jul 11th, 2009 12:06:35 PM
...he has exactly the same mannerisms, and plays basically the same character - himself, to varying degrees. Anyone who seen his early work on The 11 O'Clock Show and Rick Gervais Meets... will agree, he's made a career out of it - fuck, even in Stardust he was the exact same. Now I'm not saying he's without talent - I was a big fan of The Office and Extras, but when I see him doing the exact same schtick ten years down the line, it fucks me right off.
It's funny and it didn't give the movie away like most do. by chrismata	Jul 11th, 2009 01:22:49 PM
I liked it and I laughed.
Loafroaster is right by chimpjnr	Jul 11th, 2009 01:24:29 PM
About him being a one-trick-pony. But it's a damned funny pony. Don't like his stand-up for some reason, but the shows - and especially the XFM radio shows - are comedy gold. Karl's arm-wrestle with the down syndrome kid, the hippo that swallowed a circus midget, Karl's father sticking the Forest Gump kid in a wheely bin...the list goes on.
loafroaster and Chimpjnr, really? wow by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 11th, 2009 04:30:12 PM
David Brent from the Office and Andy Millman from Extras are completly different characters in every way apart from the voice. Did you even watch the shows?
oh and by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 11th, 2009 04:32:10 PM
they look the same...it ends there though I'm afraid. In fact Andy Millman is more Tim from the office than brent.
I love The Office and Extras by chimpjnr	Jul 11th, 2009 06:56:23 PM
And I'm not saying that the character aren't different, but Ricky still employs the same acting style to personify both. He basically never stops being Ricky Gervais. Unlike say Peter Sellars who completely inhibited the various characters he played. Ricky is always Ricky. He even acknowledges himself on the radio show - refers to himself as a one trick pony (admittedly in jest). That all said, he is great in all his shows. I actually liked the second season of extras more than the first. Poor old Lenny Henry...
I miss Karl Pilkington.... by TheWaqman	Jul 11th, 2009 09:25:01 PM

like woody allen is always woody allen by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 12th, 2009 01:17:25 AM
like larry david is always larry david. Like larry sanders is always larry sanders. like jeffery is jeffrey tambor. That's no bad thing eh.
Can't they do a movie of the podcast? by SnapT	Jul 12th, 2009 02:55:42 AM
A big screen adventure for Ricky, Stephen, and Pilky would be like the greatest movie EVER. Please heed these words, Hollywood. I demand to see Karl's perfectly round head on the silver screen for 90 minutes.
normally love gervais bbbuuutttttt by slappy jones	Jul 12th, 2009 03:10:06 AM
his schtick is getting pretty tired.
Loafroaster by HercsShowerRadio	Jul 12th, 2009 04:17:11 AM
I saw that play! That was you?! You were brilliant!! You redefined modern acting with that performance!! My God....I don't know what to say...brilliant, I am but an ant clawing at your feet.
Anyone else remember who won that Oscar that Ralph didn't? by judderman	Jul 12th, 2009 05:51:16 AM
That's right. Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive". Where's he been lately? Anywhoo Emily "Goddess" Watson is in this. That's all I need to know.
Looks very funny... by viola123	Jul 12th, 2009 09:32:35 AM
Of course, with Ricky and Stephen working together. I know that some of his comedy seems familiar sometimes, but it's his delivery; I just laugh and laugh. And Ralph Fiennes looks like he's going to be a perfect addition to the group. :)
Rafe Fiennes and Emily Watson are in it by GrandMuffTarkin	Jul 12th, 2009 09:38:00 AM
Perhaps they can reprise their Red Dragon scene where she sucks him off.
Are you havin a laugh? by Magnum Opus	Jul 12th, 2009 09:55:12 AM
Is he havin a laugh?
Talkbacker with no name... by em_tee_em	Jul 12th, 2009 09:57:03 AM
...is right. loafroaster is wrong. David Brent and Andy Millman are not even slightly the same characters. I've never seen anything else he's done though and have no opinions on those.
well snapT... by DrBrianOblivion	Jul 12th, 2009 11:18:29 AM
...we do have those half hour animated episodes on HBO that use the audio from the podcasts coming later this year i think, so thats something.
IMPORTANT: stop direct linking .mov files by Jarek	Jul 12th, 2009 07:45:57 PM
For those with Mac computers, fine, great - it will go through and play properly. However, when you direct link a .mov file like that it means it has to pre-download on a PC platform. Which means it appears nothing is really happening on a PC system.
DrOblivion...you having a laugh? by TheWaqman	Jul 12th, 2009 11:08:47 PM
Or are you serious? Man, I can't wait for that.
How is this NOT funny? by Carl XVI Gustaf	Jul 13th, 2009 08:29:11 AM
I could watch a 90 minute movie of just this. And Merchant should be getting the same attention as Gervais.
