so what other cameos in movies do you find particularly GRATE/ GRATING?

cos i would have found the NSync thing TERRIBLE. even if i didn't see them I WOULD KNOW THEY WERE THERE.

Peter Jackson belching in LotR though, that was good.

I was hoping NSync would make the cut. Where is the point in being in a big pop band if you cannot reach the pinacle of your career by being an insignificant extra in a lousy movie?

I loved Peter Falk's cameo in "Wings of Desire". Actually, that's probably my favourite part of the film... apart from the Nick Cave concert. I'm going to have to watch it again over the weekend just for that bit.

katie, i meant to ask you the other day, cos i don't know. what do you do at empire? if it's not too personal. i have friends that work on cheap and nasty rival film mags. (i know the madman that said of matrix "makes you glad cinema was invented" which then got plastered all over posters, the bald git)

och nae Alan you have got the wrong end of the stick, i do not work for Empire, i just spend a lot of my time on the website checking that i've got the plots to films right. i work for a well-known ahem catalogue company selling CDs and DVDs...

David Bowie's appearance in Zoolander brought a wry smirk to my face. I guess I can't say it was particularly either/or, because I felt somewhere in-between benign acceptance of his superstar status and frustration at his commodification .. he used to be more than a cameo joke!

ah! >blush< fair-do's.

Alan Trewartha, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

David Bowie in Zoolander = Mark Hamill in Jay and Silent Bob

What about Elvis Costello in Spice World?

Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Scooby-Doo in Jay and Silent Bob was a great cameo appearance.

David Cronenberg in "To Die For"?

Sean, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alfred Hitchcock in all his own movies?

Sean, Friday, 11 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Billy Zane and Tyson Beckford cameos in "Zoolander" were much better than the Bowie cameo. Still, the best Cameo is either _Word Up!_ or _Alligator Woman_.

Phil Collins and Emo Philips, together, in Miami Vice.

Empire magazine is terrible. It has cheaper and nastier rivals? Current Iris poster has a quote from (I think) Empire saying 'Judi Dench's performance literally screams Oscar'. Err, yeah, right. That's going to be an odd film then. Unless there's some character called Oscar in it that I'm not aware of and it's all a clever joke and I'm made to look foolish. Again.
