Can't it be like in Deer Hunter?
Can't we go and get him? We can't leave a man out there.
Personally I'd just leave him out there.
Some have a problem with Ricky Gervais Page 2
Gervais ia legend.This youtube clip says everything.I agree with the opening statement of this thread.Gervais has the right to do whatever the f**k he wants and I doubt he gives two f**ks about comic book guy types on the internet criticizing him.

"It is not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
I think out of the 3 you've highlighted-Coogan,Gervais and Pegg.It is Pegg who has the made the most out of what success he's had. Fairplay to him,but going from a cult indie sitcom on Channel 4(although much loved) to hollywood is a massive step.His friendship with Edgar Wright has no doubt accelerated his career.you only have to look at jessica stevenson who is now turning out in theatres up and down the country the last time i saw to see which way his career could have gone.
Well I don't think it was a straight step. Spaced was 1999-2000 and only the past few years has he been in Hollywood type films.
Also I don't think the fact that Jessica Stevenson is appearing at the Old Vic exactly means her career is on the skids.
Any chance of spaces after commas and full stops, EC? Blimey!
Probably having three children hasn't allowed her to make the choices available to Pegg, if she was offered them.
You've got a point Griff(I didn't read in particular where she was starring) but in relative terms Jess has been left behind.
Aaron,please don't tell me you're a grammar nazi.
I am a one-man grammar SS.
Plus, it's in site rules.
It's in the site rules, I think you mean.
I was about to edit that. Yes.

She shouldn't have had them, then.
I don't think she's complaining.
I'm sure she's perfectly happy with how things have turned out.

I'm not. She's talented and should be on telly more. Nevermind popping out whelps.
Probably three different dads.
Who was it that said Jessica Stevenson is a complete bastard to work with or interview? Someone famous said it, but can't remember who.
