Things you have been slow to realise

[grievoustim]

Yeah I did this too, not sure why

[grievoustim]

La Roux’s mum is sergeant June Ackland from The Bill.

yous need to take out your invisalign and listen to the album

[grievoustim]

What’s Invisalign?

I did listen to it the other day as it happens , pretty good

[cutthelights]

The very first thing on the album is her saying “I have taken out my invisalign and… this is the album!” so you can hear she’s American

(think it’s a type of braces?)

[grievoustim]

Oh I c - I had realised she was American before I listened to it I think

This is more slow to learn than slow to realise, but… fucking hell, there was a real Cyrano de Bergerac.

And here he is…

Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac | French author

*with the exception of Taron Egerton.

You first see him on a council estate true, but then you find out his dad was one of the posh lads and it’s that connection that gets him access to all the cool stuff

I think this sort of thinking likely does a disservice to non-white British actors FWIW (I mean Boyega and Kaluuya spring immediately to mind). But it does seem to be oh so true of our famous white acting community, yeah.

That Wikipedia entry opens with:

Joaquin Rafael Phoenix [a] (/hwɑːˈkiːn/; né Bottom ;

and I’m sorry but I am not mature enough to avoid a snort of laughter. “Wacking Bottom”…

I don’t do anagrams (leave that to the Countdown crew). I just assumed it was a satirical modern Adrian Mole reference

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Don’t make me tap the coin

edit: although your comment is accurate, acting is increasingly a closed shop like journalism

[1101010]

Not gonna keep the plot details of by the numbers Brit-tat films in my head mate

[wikihock]

Good point tbf, and I feel a bit of a dick for not thinking of either of them at the time.

Think my main issue is that it’s massively more difficult to make a career in acting, music, or the arts if you don’t have financial/social backing of some sort, which massively favours people from well-off backgrounds, even if you ignore all the other structural shit.

Pete Best actually made an album called Best of the Beatles

[hip_young_gunslinger]

Ironically containing no famous Beatles songs

[Raanraals]

Yeah, that’s Alan Partridge’s favourite album.

[TKC]

I think its all his own stuff

I Will Always Love You is a cover damn
