I mean, today you've had it if you don't like super heros, which sadly do absolutely nothing for me, because that's all that seems to be coming out of Hollywood.<br /><br />No I just cant imagine Graham Norton doing a sensible interview with a top star, with no audience... just a proper interview with say Brad Pitt or even Robert Di Nero. Oh no, Di Nero wont open up and tell us anything about his movie career or any small humorous anecdotes with the likes of Brando or Joe Pesci. Norton had Di Nero on the show twice and he wouldn't say anything. It was a complete waste of time. I guess he's saving it for the eventual biography.<br />Was quite excited that Connery returned as Bond. The promotional pictures were awesome, like he hadn't changed since 'Diamonds Are Forever.' But then just before the filming started some dago partly shaved his famous dark eyebrows and he frankly looked stupid, you know, just like gay boys that want to look girly.<br /><br />Ian, I wonder if I should put my top films up again, but maybe not a hundred. I'm trying to think of ways to get L.A. Tom (pitbullshark) to come back to the blogging world.Deejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237140493845789517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842630447477333614.post-63281225851405697402017-07-03T00:27:19.698+01:002017-07-03T00:27:19.698+01:00I've always had a great love of film but I cou...I've always had a great love of film but I could never be a critic as there is just too much crap to wade through to get to the gems. I would prefer to just write about the films that interested me but who would employ such a critic? It was good to see Connery back in Never Say Never Again, its a pity it was a terrible remake of Thunderball. As for Norton, he is of the 'look at me look at me' style of interviewing and those invited on are usually in town to promote their latest movie. Having said that, the February episode in which Patrick Stewart tells Hugh Jackman his circumcision story is s hoot. - Ian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFipAtefUWwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842630447477333614.post-72465835252060380702017-07-02T16:43:26.272+01:002017-07-02T16:43:26.272+01:00Andrew, No I've not ever heard of an Aussie Jo...Andrew, No I've not ever heard of an Aussie Jonathan Ross. I doubt that our Ross is known in your parts. But a bit surprised that you've heard of Norton, perhaps because of his interviewing, if we can call it that, of fairly big names.<br />Although I think you might be familiar with Parky... Michael Parkinson, who was more preferable to watch and had the honour of properly interviewing past legends. Am enjoying his re-run shows on BBC4. Last week his guest was Richard Burton from a 70's recording.<br /><br />Will look out for your BBC post. They're quite rightly facing some well deserved hostility due to their ongoing political bias and bitterness over the Brexit result.Deejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237140493845789517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842630447477333614.post-67688730264967993062017-07-02T11:48:45.661+01:002017-07-02T11:48:45.661+01:00I agree with what you think of Norton.
