i don't get all the hate projected towards brand on HE

he's a funny dude.

Eloi Manning says ...

actionman: Agreed. If he starred in some low-rent "LQTM" mumblecore indie comedy he'd probably be hailed as a genius. Because he's in Eloi fodder, he's reviled on HE. But he's cleverer and funnier than Jeff thinks.

How would you move on with your life knowing that Q is still out there?

I agree, the guy is just annoying and unfunny, with a pathetic and carefully styled designer "scruffy" look. C'mon America, we've got plenty of homegrown douchebags, we don't need to import them.

Don't get me wrong. Brand's alright in my book, but this post cracked me up.

Also Michael Moriarty is crazy enough now that this post might give him ideas.

Brand is funny, but most importantly, he loved Greenberg.

I haven't got anything against Brand - but taking him down via an invocation of Larry Cohen's immortal "Q" is a genius stroke of lateral thinking.

Sorry, but Brand is great. That loopy, undersold delivery cracks me up every time he showed up in SARAH MARSHALL.

When my brother and I watched that Monty Python documentary that aired on IFC Channel several months back, we both cringed every time Brand appeared on screen. And I loathed him in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. Nothing to do with how he looks, I just find him painfully unfunny.

Rather see him done in by THE STUFF

Loved Brand when he's been on the Howard Stern Show a couple times. Heard he's an extremely nice human being.

Read the new ARTHUR script he'll be doing. It's filled with many of the one liners from Steve Gordon's gem - and they're still funny - but I can't get Dudley Moore's pitch perfect delivery out of my head

Any man who porks Katy Perry on a nightly basis is okay in my book.

Re the Arnold Stang post on ARTHUR:
Are they leaving out the drunkenness for PC and/or Alan Horn-pleasing reasons?

Loved Kristen Bell making fun of how he talks in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I liked that movie much more than I should have.

Gaydos says ...

Saw his one man show at the Montreal "Just for Laughs" comedy fest a couple of years ago and he killed. Beneath that carefully crafted pose there's a dangerously clever brain.

How will this get translated into American comedy hits? We'll see. Even if it works commercially there's no guarantee it will fully capture this guy's twisted wit and intellectual bravado.

Remember Richard Pryor? But I digress...

Will Brand need a "Borat"-like sleight of hand comedic trick to fully impact? Even Gervais hasn't pulled that off.

That said, Gervais, Baron Cohen, Simon Pegg, Little Britain,, et al have all served up some substantial larfs and to my eye, Brand looks kitted up to join them.

I couldn't fit League of Gentlemen into this post but I should have.

I can picture the AP story:

British actor and comedian Russell Brand dies at 34

New York (AP) - Controversial actor and comedian Russell Brand died today after being devoured by a Quetzacoatl while visiting the observation deck of the Chrysler building...

Yes! Comment of the week. Congrats, Killian!

If Q The Winged Serpent cornered Russell Brand at the top of the Chrysler Building and gave him a proper bath, shave, and a haircut, the whole world would cheer.

Better to track down where he sleeps and release several of the "It's Alive" babies under the bedsheets.
