Title: James Nesbitt
Post by: thewobbler on April 05, 2009, 09:44:29 PM
I can't stand James Nesbitt. His two acting techniques consist of talking quickly and moving his eyes. How does he get so much work?

I don't like him either.

This is crap.
What? Five minutes of heaven? Nesbitt can be shit but he was good in Murphy's Law. Apart from the last series which was crap.

Nope, my da and uncles an all used to go, stopped when they put up the Union Jack and havent been since... I was more talking about the actual estate and all that I hadn't seen, didnt think I was missing out on much either Hardstation!!

Oh and to sum up, that show was f**king dire.

I think he's all right. And he has a good sense of humour.

During a recent interview, he said of his school days that he didnt date any prody girls but chased after the (Loretto) convent girls cause they were much more 'interesting'.

when nesbitt was coming downt the stairs I had hope of an interesting scene of the meeting between the two men, even though nesbitt had been going on like a rabit dog in the show already.
Then it all went tit up.

I liked it, but then again I spent most of my time admiring how they made Princess St/Victoria St look like the old Hill St, the references to the old Boxmore egg box factory and like Niall was curious as to what a cafe in Mourneview looked like.

I thought the show was pretty good.  Nesbitt played the part pretty well.

Thought it was pretty good also.  Was looking forward to Nesbitt getting stuck in, in front of the cameras though, would love to have seen the reaction of that producer.

Five Minutes of Heaven.

That has to be one of the most abrupt endings to a film ever.  ??? ???

Good show I thought, good acting by both of em. Mates of mine have met Nesbit a few times - they are all Liverpool fans and him Man U but they said he was sound - loves the pints

while i thought the show was patchy in places the actual idea of the show was good.

dramas like that should be shown to 13/14 year old's at school. kids in these estates have not left there own estates, ghettos if ya like,  and have hatred bred into them by their Da's Ma's and whoever else looks after them.

i thought it was decent enough.  though the difference in quality between nesbitt and neeson was massive. neeson is a quality actor.

Really? I would never have rated Neeson despite his Oskar nomination. I think he's let down by the fact that he can't hide his native accent when he tries to be a "foreigner".

I have to disagree with you Tony,  I think he is a great actor, always watchable which is rare for an actor.
Does anyone remember him in the film adaptation of Bernard MacLaverty's 'Lamb'?  Great show.  Took wee Owen to Highbury and and the wee lad took a fit, depressing film but very good.

What was the show where he was a red neck in it with Patrick Swayze? He is a decent actor, nothing more, in my opinion.

Nest of kin or something similar

some actors do dud films on the way to the top. Liam did his, Next of kin, Krull and Darkman and some other forgetable films but is now doing some fine work.

as for Swayze, well he's doing all the dud movies now.

In all fairness to Swayze he always said he had the time of his life making those movies.

Swayze is doing well to get out of bed in the morning. Sure hes riddled with pancreatic cancer.

Aye, tough on him, young enough too, he smokes something like 60-80 a day and still can't give them up.

Is that film being repeated anytime? I was in the Celtic Club the day Liam Neeson was in it and would like to see how it looks on TV.

Post by: Aoise on April 06, 2009, 07:00:40 PM
Well you'se may well have thought it was crap and that Nesbitt was dire but he had Joe Griffen in the bag.  I was laughing so much as even though he may have seemed over the top, thats Joe, thats exactly how he is.  I thought they overdramatised it a bit though, as far as I know Joe has never met Little nor has any intention of doing so!

List them. I enjoyed Taken recently but it didn't exactly take an acting masterclass. Do go on...
