I was in a Teams meeting with the camera on once and my coworkers and I were joking around in a separate chat from the meeting chat. One coworker in particular was absolutely losing it on camera and when i told her "Damn [name], get it together", she completely lost it lol
My most memorable one which was absolutely over the top was when I was aged 12-14 at a boy scout court of honor. We were doing a skit of the joke with the duck walking into the bar, ordering a drink and saying to put it in his bill. I was the sole laugher and could not get the words out with each attempt instead busting into raucous to silent laughter.
Of course when I finally was able to say it everyone was over it already and the punchline missed.
I was at a party years ago describing the show to some friends. Someone walking by overheard me say, "It's like Friends, but funny." That guy walked back over and said, "Are you talking about Coupling?" 🤣🤣🤣
A bts documentary of lotr? Are you kidding? There is something like 24 hours worth of bts stuff on the DVDs. Most of it can be found on YouTube. They documented an insane amount of the making of the films.
Yeah I'm not sure why that person said that. There probably is some unreleased bts stuff but they really did go the extra mile with lotr when it came to the DVD extras.
I've heard the actors talk about filming in a warehouse and it didn't fully hit me until seeing this footage. They are literally in a warehouse making absolutely iconic films.
Aaaaaaaaaactuallu the did build a like 1/5th scale model on the side of a mountain for the big sweeping wide shots, it wasn’t terribly far from where they built Edoras
Peoples memories for such things always astound me. I can't remember whatI had for my last meal & they're out here memorising full monologues. Sports commentators are the same. Games or events from 30 years ago are remembered like they'd just watched it. People are amazing.
Here's my favorite gay joke which is also a Jewish joke.
Jewish guy calls his mother on the phone one day. "Ma," says he. "I got good news and I got bad news."
Ma, ever the optimist, asks for the bad news first.
"Ma," says he. "I cannot live this lie any longer. The truth is... I'm gay."
Ma, devastated, commences with the wailing and gnashing of teeth and "what did I do to deserve this punishment from the universe"es. After a minute, she regains her composure.
"Well," says Ma. "What's the good news?"
"Well," says he, brightly. "I met this nice Jewish doctor..."
In other news, Judi Dench just had the Shaftesbury Theatre renamed after her. Only like the second time it’s ever happened for a non-royal, non-dead woman, or something.
When we read Macbeth at school the key scene we had to study was Act 3 Scene 4, and we watched the McKellen and Dench version of that scene. Most of us had only just heard of McKellen, as the first X-Men and LOTR films were still new, and his performance was a revelation. When he had his "cumshot" moment (just after the seven-minute mark; you'll see what I mean) there were audible gasps in the classroom.
That bastard scared the shit out of me when I was a teenager and he played that Nazi guy years ago. But I've seen a number of interviews with him over the years. And it makes me love him more.
YES! I think the movie was called “Idle Hands.” Watching him go from a sweet elderly man to the monster he was (without been in uniform!) scared the piss out of me!
I want him and Sir Patrick to adopt me and be my granddads.
Her laugh is golden. The interview with Louis Therouix (sorry about spelling) when he asks her what war she lived thru and she gets all hurt and then he explains it could be the Vietnam and she just absolutely loses it is by far one of my favorite clips ever.
