Hi Joy,

No i didn't know Neil (Nigel Planer) put out a single! Although i have met him. Thanks for the video.

Admin, you're name-dropping!


Yes, Joaquin will be able to see for miles & miles with all the carrots he's getting! I suppose the good thing for him with these critics' awards is that he doesn't have to turn up in a tuxedo to collect them or make a speech.


Did I misunderstand when you said the Oscar nominations would be out today? According to this site it's the voting which opens today...

MUMBAI: Nominations voting for the 85th Academy Awards open Monday for the 5,856 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Members will have until 3 January, 2013 to vote electronically or mail in a paper ballot.

Any paper ballots received after the deadline will not be counted.

Nominations and final Awards ballots will be tabulated and verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to ensure that all aspects of the balloting process are accurate and secure.

This will be the first year the Academy is providing its membership the opportunity to vote electronically. Several voting resources will be available to members, including assisted voting stations in Los Angeles, New York and London, and a 24-hour support call center during voting periods.

The 85th Academy Awards nominations will be announced live on 10 January, 2013 in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on 25 February, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center® and televised live on Star Movies. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.


PS: I've been having some problems accessing the board lately. Is it just me?

Hi guys,

I wrote a response to your posts about the interview then I went back and edited it 2 or 3 times and finally I decided to delete it. I don't know if u got to read it.. Well , I just feel uneasy talking about it because its a delicate topic and this is a very public space do I prefer to remain silent !

Joy, Neil's song made me giggle .. U can't help it !!


Admin, I wanted to ask what are Neil and Mike's real personalities like? I'm curious !
Yes, I was having problem logging in too. As if the site were really busy ! Now it's okay !

Br'tw, My xmas is nothing conventional. I need to decide sth ... What about u Admin and Joy ?

London, Austin, Toronto... That's great Admin! Joaquin deserves to win all the fucking prizes !! If the Academy has some principles they should fucking nominate him too!

Btw, Cigs and red vines posted a pic on twitter saying they got the DVD already . I thought you'd like to know !

I'll PM u for ur question

Now you're just being a shameless name-dropper!


I didn't read it, Sami, no. Perhaps some of the viewers did though.


I know! He's such a funny character! All 4 of the main characters are brilliant portrayals of British student stereotypes of that time.



Some of my Christmas will be like Admin's. "Sitting around"....yeah, that does happen! And some of it will be unconventional too.


That is a sad episode. Martin Freeman was in a series called The Office...lots of laughter but also many other emotions too.


I'm sure the BBC would be more than happy to have him.

Thanks for the DVD info, Sami. I haven't checked, but I don't think The Master it's out here yet.

Admin, I'm sorry you have I wait ! If u turned this forum into a blog perhaps ...
I look forward to the DVD too!
Joy, I think Joaquin would make a very sexy Sherlock
That's it for today guys. I went to 1 of those work out classes and now I'm so tired I can barely type ! Ouch !

Hi Sami, in terms of acting in The Master, i think Joaquin does a great job of separating hos own personality completely from the character... unlike, say, Robert De Niro, who, no matter what character he plays, i always just see Robert De Niro
