A Movie You Won't Have Seen - Tiptoes

Watch this trailer. This is a real film, not a joke. via @Glinner and Videogum

Kate Beckinsale and Matthew McConaughey give 'command performances' and Gary Oldman akes 'the role of a lifetime' in Tiptoes.

Family Guy Christian Bale Spoof

"Hit your mother with that mouth?"

This is superb. Of all the Christian Bale rant spoofs going around at the moment, and there are a few, Family Guy have nailed it. Of course, they've got a bit more cash than the average Joe, but that's not the point.



A temporary return for the Four O'Clock Funny too!

Celebrity Stalking - Sharon Horgan

For various reasons, I'm often accused of 'stalking' celebrities. Not because I do, mind, but because I walk around with my head up and have a knack for remembering faces I've seen on TV or in the media in general. And I've spent much of my time on Twitter being amused by the musings of the various celebrities and fake celebrities on there.

A strange thing just happened to me. I'd been thinking of referencing every time I see a famous face and posting a little something about them. I created a rule for myself that I've yet to have to implement, whereby if I see the same celebrity three times, I have to speak to them. Watch out Cheeky Girls and Eddie Izzard, is all I'm saying.

Sharon Horgan (centre) - I'm not stalking her

Anyway I've also been meaning to get into the comedy Pulling, about which I've heard great things. There was an ad last night for the series starting on Dave 'on Tuesday at 9:30'. Note to Dave, if you show an ad on a Monday, people can reasonably assume that, by Tuesday, you mean tomorrow. They don't, they mean next Tuesday.

Anyway, the reason this links is because the woman in the ad was just unloading a child from a car near my office. Sharon Horgan her name is, apparently (I did a small amount of research) and she's Irish and very funny. According to Wikipedia, she was one of the writers on the excellent Monkey Dust.

I'm using this as a flimsy excuse to post the first clip I found on You Tube of Pulling, in lieu of the recent slacking off in the Four O'Clock Funny.



Incidentally, I'm probably going to bin off the Four O'Clock Funny unless anyone is particularly attached to it, and focus on more ad hoc posting in the hope it will discourage laziness.

Four o'clock funny - He's still bleeding, Doctor

You stitch him up, I'm crap!

More from Bruiser.

Four o'clock funny - All pile on!

This is from Bruiser, an old sketch show that featured the likes of Martin Freeman, Mitchell and Webb and the bloke who plays Garth Merenghi.

Four o'clock funny - It was a poo! It was a poo!

I'm going to take this chair. How do you feel about that?

Four o'clock funny - They've all gone

We were watching you on the monitors in the kitchen. And we all thought you were a dick.

Four o'clock funny - Lager Beer

It's the most alcohol per millilitre, at the lowest cost, in this shop.

Four o'clock funny - We know how much you like heroin

We got you some heroin to have while you're reading it

Four o'clock funny - Can people levitate?

I'm just trying to get to the root of why you felt the need to ask such a humiliating question

Some of the best bits of Mitchell and Webb are when they are being 'themselves'. This is brilliant.

Four o'clock funny - Holmes and Watson

And of course they both felt, very strongly, that it was important to keep that wonderful energy that the stage version had had.

More from Mitchell and Webb. This is a modern classic, in my humble opinion.

Four o'clock funny - They've got skulls on them

What's so good about a sickle?

I am of the opinion that That Mitchell And Webb Look is not as good as Peep Show. If you ask me, that's what I'd say. There are, however, loads of really funny and quotable sketches in it. In fact, I'd go as far as to say there isn't a better sketch show around at the moment. Harry and Paul is pretty good but no less hit and miss. I have high hopes for Horne and Corden or whatever it's going to be called, but that's very much an unknown quantity at this stage.

So, for the next few days, enjoy Mitchell and Webb. That's Numberwang!

Four o'clock funny - The choice of a New Generation

"It's like people only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad."

Given that this was done before Will Smith started making heavily-sponsored blockbusters and James Bond became the world's most preposterous advertorial, I'd say it's pretty prophetic. And of course very funny.

Four o'clock funny - Psycho Hose Beast

"I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack."

FYI Stacey is played by Lara Flynn Boyle.

Four o'clock funny - Schwing

"He could ruin a Led Zepellin reunion concert."

Four o'clock funny - The Tool Box

"Abort! Abort! We have been identified!"

Iconic is not even the word.

Four o'clock funny - Denied!

"I like to play."

Some You Tube clips are better quality than others. This is a particular doozy, filmed right off someone's telly with a nice little graphic and the added skill of turning up the volume at the end. Sweet.

Four o'clock funny - Foxy Lady

"I must've slipped."

Whatever happened to Dan Carvey? Or Tia Carrera for that matter. They should totally make another Wayne's World.

Four o'clock funny - Del's Story

"Instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger!"

This is one of my favourite move clips of all time, and one of the few lengthy quotes from a film that I vaguely know. Watch and learn people.

Four o'clock funny - Rentaghost

I believe this is a Timothy Claypole outfit. They should well bring back Rentaghost. With Audrey from Coronation Street and everything. This is all from George Dawes. For the moment.
