I think Russel Crowe is incredible as Javert

Yes thats it exactly!
I don't like Joanna Lumley either and her hair is awful. Too much bleach.

Why can't I quote PPs any more?

Anyway, re Sex and the City"
Kim Cattrall the only thing that made it worth watching. She acts the pants off the rest of the cast (Charlotte was so wooden) and the only person who realised it was a sitcom, not a state of the nation address.

@HollyhocksAndFoxgloves I’ve never watched one episode of it but have obvs been assaulted by clips of it over the years. Not one bit of anything I’ve seen is remotely funny. Cannot abide all that goofy, cheesy, fake claptrap

TheSkull · 05/09/2023 11:54

Sarah Jessica Parker is a very plain woman. Never understood the hype around her “beauty”. It’s like The Emperor’s New clothes; one person says it and everyone else joins in

@TheSkull

I channel hopped on to an episode of it back in the 90's. One of the characters walks into the kitchen, opens the fridge door and the audience laughs.

That's it, I tried.

Lol. Yep. That’s about the measure of the tripe

I nicknamed SJP 'donkey face' some years ago.

Dreadfully plain woman. Shame she can’t see it. Had too much smoke blown up her arse I’d say

I disagree, she's an unusual beauty but she's definitely beautiful. Watch Hocus Pocus.

@TheSkull

I agree. Her and Angelina Jolie. I don't think she's attractive at all.

Also regarding 'Friends' a few years ago, the question was asked, 'how much would the cast have to be earning as their characters to afford to live in their loft apartment.

The answer was interesting i.e. not the jobs the characters were portrayed as doing. They would need to be earning a whole lot more money.

That’s what I mean. It’s fake as fuck. Don’t know much about A Jolie apart from the obvious but she’s better looking than SJP who isn’t my idea of a beauty

the80sweregreat · 05/09/2023 12:13

Dh likes the normal good looking Hollywood stars around, but he also finds SJP attractive too. I can't see it either , but he thinks she has the X factor , a bit like Barbra Streisand.
SJP was funny with Hugh grant in ' did you hear about the Morgan's ?'
I can't abide Friends. It's fake and not very funny. Not keen on many US sitcoms though

Horses should be in fields and never never ever ridden on roads under any circumstance. Riders who take horses on roads should be imprisoned for life at the very least.

Oasis and The Beatles are hugely overrated.

Mrs Browns Boys is the most disgusting TV ever made.

Point 1 - arrest me and read me my rights 😂

Sarah Jessica Parker and Kylie Minotaur, whilst both are very short, they have perfectly proportioned limbs and bust, waist and hip ratio.

They have the perfect bodies to make clothes look good on them albeit very petite but of course on film you can't see how small they are in stature unless they are next to someone else of bigger proportions.

Camera angles and props help to disguise or enhance this disparity in size.

CassiniG · 05/09/2023 12:41

Sorry. Kylie is NOT a Minotaur. It's meant to say Minogue.

The first series of Blackadder is the best one.

I almost gasped at that 😆

TheSkull · 05/09/2023 12:46

Oasis are the greatest EVER 🤪

Carebearstare12e · 05/09/2023 12:49

The Weasley twins in the Harry Potter films are achingly bad actors.

The singer Pink is annoying with her 'I'm not like the other girls' persona while she slags off other female artists.

Quote still works! The button moved though, used to be under the post now its 3 dots at the top. I'm on a phone, I know it can vary.

The last series of Game of Thrones was actually alright and probably pretty close to the planned book ending.

Going out for meals is boring.

Carebearstare12e · 05/09/2023 13:03

McDonald's is tasty.

I love seeing Christmas things in the shops as early as possible.

Lots of MNetters don't seem to believe anxiety disorders exist and think it's something people use as an excuse to get out of things. And on the flip side, armchair psychologists are extremely tedious.

Some (very few) dogs should be on a choke chain lead.

I love rain.

Dawn French is insufferable and has never been funny.

Well don’t you both sound super!! It’s one thing to say you don’t think she’s beautiful, but publicly calling her “Donkeyface” is just nasty.
I actually think it’s a good thing she isn’t a classic beauty- in the wise words of Groove Armada, if everybody looked the same…
