It's not often I laugh at others' misfortune but he deserves it.

I've been busy doing a film called 'Color Me Kubrick', where I play a gay entertainer called Lee Pratt, alongside the brilliant Hollywood actor John Malkovich. I think it will be out in the new year. Wait till you see it, its hysterical.

I did not feel this was value for money and have taken a few days to think about what to say to you rather than fire an email off the cuff the next day.

"Davidson, who lives in Dubai, said he wanted to finish paying off the bill, now down to about £700,000, but had been "forced into this position". "

I did actually read this as 'forced into prostitution' at first.

Dubai is the new Sodom and Gomorrah; discuss.

That news has actually brightened my entire day. As far as I can see the man has no redeeming features.

ps I'd like to add my apologies to not-goodwin's; neither of us have that much of a recollection of Friday (His appears so bad that he doesn't know what day it was) and I suspect that if I got that drunk I might have been really bad...

jim davidson is a right wing clown

"In 2004, Davidson, a self-professed Conservative, (not BNP as many assume) publicly left the United Kingdom for Dubai in protest of the Labour Party government."

According to this...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376543/board/nest/45961689
...the character Davidson plays is based on Joe Longthorne.

A Longthorne/Malkovitch connection - who'd a thought it?

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Thursday, 6 July 2006 14:26 (twenty years ago)

"He has also for the first time in 14years in 2006, refused to play Great Yarmouth, stating that the resort was: full of overweight people in flip-flops and fat children of all colours and no class"

― beanz (beanz), Thursday, 6 July 2006 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Redeeming feature - The Devil Went Down To Walthamstow.

OK, I give in.

Does this mean he'll have to give up the foxhunting? Oh no - how will the countryside manage without him?

Loathe as I am to use emoticons, the only possible response to this is a big fat :)

Sorry I know this isn't on topic but I just want to point out that Malkovich says the accent he'll be adopting for his characterization of the Kubrick impersonator's characterization of Kubrick is "a little bit Yiddish, a little bit Croydon, a little bit Copenhagen, and a little bit Seoul."

1999! That's like...before computers and everything.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Friday, 7 July 2006 06:08 (twenty years ago)

I am looking forward to this film.

Sounds to me like Jim D isn't broke, just caliming to be "bankrupt" in an attempt to pull the wool over the mythical taxman's eyes. Something like that anyway. I'm not sure I understand bankruptcy laws.

Dubai must be really really horrible.

Wasn't JD's dad from Glasgow?

It all seems a bit dubious.

Have four years really gone by since the BBC terminated his contract to do 1975 Rod Stewart impressions and comedically jump into Melanie Stace's arms on the Generation Game?

Why would I feel better if it had been, say, Ben Elton, or Justin Lee Collins, going bust?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 7 July 2006 06:37 (twenty years ago)

Ben Elton's imaginary bankruptcy is the sort of glorious hazy dream that almost makes life worth living.

I see tonight BBC1 offers Celebrity Showjumping.
You look at the people on there and the programme has "COUNTY COURT JUDGEMENT" written all over it.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 7 July 2006 07:19 (twenty years ago)

looking forward to the film? it's been and gone, check that imdb link.

― pisces (piscesx), Friday, 7 July 2006 08:21 (twenty years ago)

Oh dear. I have made a fool of myself. On a Jim Davidson thread.

I will get it on video, or watch it on Film Four.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 7 July 2006 09:12 (twenty years ago)

He was in A Zed And Two Noughts though.

Playing a Nought?

― Toad Roundgrin (noodle vague), Friday, 7 July 2006 09:14 (twenty years ago)

He was the zookeeper.

Man, you really freaked me out here for a minute. As it happens, I got paid this morning.

It is sad that Mr Davidson may henceforth be confined to a parlous existence in an isolated cottage with dodgy television reception, as per the late Rod "Rod Hull and Emu" Hull.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 7 July 2006 09:19 (twenty years ago)

Some cruel people may well be hoping he too has occasion to go up on the roof to adjust his aerial

Can you get Channel Five in Dubai?

Fair play to Emu, he never did any "Chalkie" gags.

I've just remembered Jonathan Ross' comment to RH at the British Comedy Awards about some clock in New York "that hadn't worked since 1985 either."

Can't wait to see him go to the wall...

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 7 July 2006 09:34 (twenty years ago)

Jonathan Ross, the next Cockney Wanker up against the wall come the Light Entertainment Revolution
