I am randomly starting with.. THE NINETIES!

HE WAS GOOD IN MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT!

Re: Keith Allen

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

he is actually quite good as an actor on occasion.

see also Richard Herring's blog on this - i.e. it's really annoying that someone who's such a stunning arse in real life, to the point that everyone ever seems to have an "X is a c*nt story cos...", turns out to be actually pretty good, even memorable, in their chose profession.

I voted for World in Motion based on this line.

Re: FACT

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

i've never understood the hate/mockery of Barnes 'rap' in World In Motion. there's really nothing wrong with it.

Barnes > Madge in American Life

Re: FACT

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

the 'American Life' rap is also good - in the 'v entertaining' sense that is

but imagine if Barnes had been able to rap/toast faster on 'W.O.M.' like Mad Stuntman or someone...

nobody would be able to sing along with it tho
