Ghost Town was a decent film and was Cemetary Junction, the office, extra's and derek are all good and an idiot abroad, he has done some very good stuff, just think the novelty will wear off with this gig in about 10 minutes

Must be I'm the only person who doesn't like Gervais. I have seen a bit of the office and whilst it is written very well, not my scene. As a person I find that Ricky is lost without a script, no ad-lib when being interviewed. Biggest let down was Band Aid 2 (or whatever it was) when he walked off as he'd run out of things to say and the next band were late on.
It's Garry Shandling's Show was the first I remember to resurrect that genre of comedy. Not in a mockumentary manner but as a diary of his life. It influenced notably Ricky Gervais and also Larry David who plays himself in Curb your enthusiasm.You could argue that Gervais ushered in the whole look to camera mocumentary genre, quickly picked up by others, most recently in People Just do Nothing. I'm sure someone will now tell me it was first used decades before in films like Spinal Pap...
Makes perfect sense to me!A massive THIS.
I'm a huge fan of The Office, IMO its one of the most finely written comedies of all time. But Gervais is now taking the irony of this tragic Brent character, and trying to make him legit. Gervais is reviving his long-failed music career through him, whilst still trying to be "funny" about it in an "aren't I crap but actually don't you think I'm pretty good?" kinda way.
I dunno if any of that makes sense, but I know what I mean!
Wonder if this latest venture will sell out ?
But only in an ironic post-it-straight-on-to-social-media sort of way tho eh?
In real terms, it'll be shite.
Nature's way of telling you there's WAY too much disposable income in Brighton & Hove for the select few.
It's a good idea. And...........
A good idea is a good idea FOR ever.
Mrs JTM has bought us tickets for this. The pre-sale sold out fairly quickly evidently.
It's like you going to watch a preseason (Palace) friendly. It seems like a good idea until you get there and realise the whole thing is, actually, meaningless.
