Up and Coming Films

[Inspector Abberline]

Gervais is a funny guy,but there seems to be a lot of jealousy because he's one of the few British comedians to crack America,bottom line if you don't like him don't watch anything he is in,its not rocket science is it?

More CGi tomfoolery from the Marvel universe,Cumberbatch is strange.

Agree with you on Gervais, Inspector.

He sure is but he makes this look watchable to me.

I don't get it!

But I have!

I was working as an admin assistant in a CAB when 'The Office' was first screened, and I didn't get it then

Maybe I worked in a good office!

I have tried to like him. I watched 'The Office' and 'Extras', but neither moved me.

I refused to watch 'The Invention Of Lying' when my landlady got it from Blockbuster when it first came out, leading to her accusing me of being 'narrow-minded' because I didn't give it a chance!

Obviously humour is subjective, but I don't understand why people fall about laughing at him. Eddie Izzard is the same for me

I'm not a fan of Gervais but I do like some of Izzard's stuff.

I'm really looking forward to Dr Strange , more than batman vs superman and captain America civil war, with doctor strange being one of my favorite charcters

Are you unable to hold a job down? You seem to have done everything from teacher to porn to admin to landlady.

I really liked The Office and Extras when I saw them on TV and years ago on DVD, but it's been so long since I watched his TV stuff but I can't comment with any authority on my feelings now. I saw two of Ricky Gervais' stand-up shows and hated both of them as it wasn't clever observational humour – it was just easy and overly crude. I really didn't like the way he called his audience "c***s" at the beginning of the Science show – that completely remove the way.

Eddie izzard, by comparison, is much more adept at wordplay, storytelling and absurdity, things which always appealed to me when I'm watching stand-up comedy. He is also more interesting person, putting his own life stories into the act, something Billy Connolly does extremely well (or, at least did – I don't know what his status is now).

Going back to Doctor Strange, I'm now officially interested.

Not my fault if a lot of places I work at close down!

After getting a follow on Twitter from Anna Biller, writer/director & star of Viva (released on dvd by Shameless), I noticed she has a new film coming out called The Love Witch. It looks pretty good too.
