The Stath: Yay or Nay?

[DaveCinzano]

Jason Statham - I think he's a pretty decent movie actor.

• Crank;
• Cellular;
• London;
• The Transporter;
• War;
• The Bank Job; etc.

He's even okay in the Italian Job remake, which is rubbish.

 

[butchersapron]

He's the best action star outside of HK there is. And he's not a prick with ideas.

 

[Thora]

Crank was ridiculous, London was abysmal, haven't seen the others. I prefer Danny Dyer.

 

[butchersapron]

Crank was fanastic pisstaking crap.

 

[Thora]

Have you had a bit too much to drink?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

He's awful. He makes Arnie look like Lawrence Olivier. I did enjoy Cellular mind you.

 

[butchersapron]

Yes mummy put me to bed.

 

[butchersapron]

He's awful. He makes Arnie look like Lawrence Olivier. I did enjoy Cellular mind you.

Wtf has acting got to do with it?

 

[Thora]

Yes mummy put me to bed.

Whatever you want baby

 

[camouflage]

So this isn't a thread about orc-dogs?

Damn, I wanted to vote nay.

 

[gnoriac]

Thought he was good in Snatch, pretty much cardboard cut-out in everything else.

 

[DaveCinzano]

He looks lovely in a suit

 

[The Groke]

He hits people good and Mrs Groke likes perving over his shoulders.

What's not to like?

 

[stupid dogbot]

What's not to like?

The films?

 

[kyser_soze]

Who's hating the Stath? The first Transporter movie is hugely fun, Crank and Crank 2 are, by their utterly ludicrous premise, complete genius, and he's a competent hitman/fast driver in everything else he's done.

Next on his map should be some decent big bang SF.

 

[stupid dogbot]

The Transporter is devastatingly shit.

 

[kyser_soze]

Doesm't stop it being fun tho. Which is what I said. Not good, fun.

 

[Ranu]

Like his films, met the bloke too and he was most hospitable and a nice guy to boot.

Dyer is a twunt of the highest order.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Next on his map should be some decent big bang SF.

I did rather like Ghosts Of Mars - not love, but like. He's very enjoyable in it.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Doesm't stop it being fun tho. Which is what I said. Not good, fun.

Yeah, I saw.

I've had more fun waiting for the freezer to defrost.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I can't stand him - I could put up with his rubbish acting if he had some charisma but he doesn't. He's just awful.

 

[Dillinger4]

Doesm't stop it being fun tho. Which is what I said. Not good, fun.

This.

I wanted to say that he is shit, but there is something enjoyable about his films.

 

[DotCommunist]

wank. He is a potato headed action-by-numbers man

 

[fen_boy]

I caught The Transporter the other day and it's definitely one of the five worst films I've ever seen. It just didn't make any sense.

 

[DaveCinzano]

The Groke likes The Stath, and he wrote the best film review in the history of cinema, so I think that somewhat outranks all you h8ers

 

[kyser_soze]

wank. He is a potato headed action-by-numbers man

You also adore Lexx, making this statement of opinion meaningless

 

[butchersapron]

What's Lexx?

 

[kyser_soze]

Possibly the worst ever TV SF show ever.

It's production values make Blakes 7 look advanced. The acting makes Days Of Our Lives seem like real life.

 

[Stigmata]

It's production values make Blakes 7 look advanced. The acting makes Days Of Our Lives seem like real life.

The plot makes Lazytown look like The Wire

 

[fogbat]

Lexx is a cult.

kyser, in disliking it, is something similar
