Liam Neeson (Not dead, but...career?...hmm)

Well if the Daily Fail says he’s not a racist etc.

Good old Jan Moir.

Questioning the colour of the attacker isn’t a non-sequitur if you’re being racist, though.

[teacakesandcrumpets]

Cheers! Interestingly i find myself at a big change point in life and drawn to DiS for comfort/chat as i was 10 years ago.

[colinzealuk]

Agreed… I’m just more questioning the story as he told it - it comes out weird in my head.

Other: I was raped.
Liam: Do you know who it was?
O: No.
L: Was it a black man?
O: Yes.
L: Right, see you in 10 days.

Edit - and again, I’m pretty sure this is my head being weird.

You ever feel like some of yr thoughts might have crossed a line?

Just give Jan Moir a message. She’s the one who decides what’s racist or not.

[Raanraals]

I only just actually read the story. From this thread you’d never have known that this was about 40 years ago.

[sky_box_office]

Not on DiS.

Edit: Replied to the wrong person. Sorry.

Was thinking of making a gif that had the father Ted “not a racist” slideshow but with Neeson’s head on Ted’s body and scenes from his movies on the projector screen. Looks like I’ve been beaten to the punch here basically.

Just want to shout out to the genius nature of the thread title. Thanks @saps.

I’m not trying to score indie points here but I’ve genuinely not seen Taken. However I do remember my dad telling me after he’d seen it that he couldn’t quite believe what he was watching, that it was a completely unveiled white male power fantasy of a guy murdering scores of anonymous foreigners who were all presented by the film as bad and wanting only to kidnap and rape white women.

As above, I’ve not actually seen the film, but if that’s an accurate assessment of it, then it’s pretty fucking galling that he’d go off and make that film if he recognises and supposedly regrets the horrible tendancies it’s appealing to.

holly valance from neighbours is in it playing herself too, hes her security at the beginning and then at the end she does a private gig for him or something (this is all true, its such a weird, shit film)

Very minor point, but I think she’s just playing Generic Film Pop Star rather than appearing as Holly Valance.

[badmanreturns]

He takes his daughter to see her and she seems completely over the fact that her best friend has just died in the sex trade, cos hey it’s Holly Vallance. So fucking weird.

In the Grey he just draws his fist back but doesn’t actually go through with the punch.
