But I really do envy you having seen 'One Man' - it's one of those pieces which I would definitely have seen had I the wherewithal to go to the theatre as I once did.<br />'The History Boys' (again, I only saw it on film, alas) was very much an ensemble piece, but in this present film Corden is given his lead which he takes on with relish.<br />I've always got in my mind the public berating he got from Patrick Stewart at an awards ceremony 2 or 3 years ago for having such a careless and disrespectful attitude and stance when presenting an award, though Stewart did rather cut away his own ground by referring to Corden's wide girth. But.at that time I was mentally cheering Stewart on for his criticism of Corden for the latter's apparent attitude, which I thought was justified.<br /><br />I'm with you on Crook, but only up to a point. If he had a bit more flesh on him he might turn more heads.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-53747351236377297262013-11-06T21:34:35.360-08:002013-11-06T21:34:35.360-08:00I've miss your posts: I see these movies throu...I've miss your posts: I see these movies through you !Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-59175822678568417682013-11-06T14:00:48.231-08:002013-11-06T14:00:48.231-08:00Although this film may be loaded with clichés, I&#...Although this film may be loaded with clichés, I'll see it because I had such a marvelous time with Cordon in his B'way appearance in "One Man - -". Loved him also in "Gavin and Stacey" and "The History Boys" which I'm happy to learn you appreciate as much as I do.<br /><br />Also, contrary to someone elses opinion, I find Mackenzie Crook kinda sexy.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085842904367441128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-62024271807218319722013-11-06T11:31:06.084-08:002013-11-06T11:31:06.084-08:00He does seem to specialise in unsavoury characters...He does seem to specialise in unsavoury characters where I suppose his 'unusual' looks can be exploited. But he is rather good in this - a role which is not so unsavoury as, say, in the 'Pirates' films.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-80442509398653813272013-11-06T11:24:53.554-08:002013-11-06T11:24:53.554-08:00Mr crook is perhaps the most unattractive man I ha...Mr crook is perhaps the most unattractive man I have ever seenJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-1754985027872965282013-11-06T11:18:25.242-08:002013-11-06T11:18:25.242-08:00Neither did it me, Sol.
