Maybe the second worst
..because when I clicked on the link I also read this headline:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8247815.stm
For one horrible moment I thought it was about Susan Boyle.
Worse still
I thought it might involve Frankie...
That is a thought...
that I do not wish to contemplate. Especially if Cowell was the male 'star'.
"I'm not interested in doing an impression"
= "I can't do the impression"
"Kurt and Sid has a four
"Kurt and Sid has a four week run at London's Trafalgar Studios 2 from 9 September to 3 October." That might be a bit ambitious, to the tune of 3 weeks and 6 days.
Danny Dyer
The world's biggest knob. Apparently he turned down EastEnders. He should be so lucky.
Isn't he a bit old to be Sid Vicious?
He'll be in EastEnders within 2 years...
Guaranteed. There's only so many low rent pseudo Ross Kemp football gang violence programmes that Channel 5/Living/Virgin can get commissioned. And indeed, he is a knob.
I love this line from Dyer
"I don't like what Oldman did with him, I think he played him like an idiot and I don't think that's fair."
So many reasons in that one sentence to want to alternate between pointing and laughing at Dyer until you wet your pants andholding your head in your hands at the fundamental stupidity of equating the concept of "fairness" with an actor's portrayal of Vicious in a film made nearly 25 years ago.
Just the idea of Dyer implying he'll do a better job than Gary Oldman in the acting chops I find simultaneously hysterical and offensive.
"I think he played him like an idiot"
Possibly because he was one, and a murdering one to boot (allegedly).
"Cole & Ferdinand to produce film"
Must also be a pretty bad idea...
Slightly unfair
Cole and Ferdinand's first foray into film seems to be a pastoral epic set in 19th century Cumbria starring Ian Holm, Joss Ackland and Daniel Dyer.
Oh hang on, I looked at the wrong synopsis. It's actually with Danny Dyer and 50 cent and is about gangsters and guns 'n stuff
Don't forget Robbie
Get ready for a whole host of footballers' imposing their 'taste' on the public over the next 60 years. Great.
They've got to do something with all that money.
This film sounds dire (hee, hee) but is no worse than EMI giving Robbie Williams an £80,000,000 contract.
The only thing that interests me about Sid Vicious...
is the time Freddie Mercury met him and called him Mr Ferocious.
Ooh! ooh!
Another chance for my favourite Sid quote. Interviewed around about the same time, said Mr Ferocious was asked if he made music for the man in the street. "No" quoth Our Hero. "I've met the man in the street and he's a c**t"....
"it's kind of a fantasy really"
No, it is a fantasy. A really bad one at that.
"It does, however, raise the
"It does, however, raise the thought that Cobain may have killed himself in order to escape a figment of his imagination who is boring him to death. This Vicious has a nasty case of verbal diarrhoea." The Guardian fails to rave over Kurt and Sid http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2009/sep/16/kurt-and-sid-review
