All hail Martin Sheen on Jonathan Ross

[Mick Mac]

Well done Martin Sheen tonight for pouring scorn on the Bush era and Guantanamo Bay etc. Great to see an American realist who is proud of his country but is aware of its (many) failings. He has apparently been arrested about 60 times for civil protesting against US policies.

Jonathan Ross finished the interview by saying MS inspried him to be a better person. All hail Martin Sheen.

I can't wait to go and see the 'Damned united' with my dad who coincidently has supported Nottingham forest for over 40 years! I just hope he doesn't cry at any point during the film. Also want to see 'Frost Nixon' soon.

Hail the Sheen, what a lovely guy he was on Wossy

W**F

I missed it as I was watching the second installment of Prime suspect 6.

It's repeated late tonight

[Mick Mac]

Yes very funny BBW.

[bigbadwolf]

Eh, sorry Mic Mack I don't understand.

Oh I see, the bloke off the West wing, my mistake. You missed a golden opportunity there Mikecg.

I saw the end of the chat with Ross, and found myself agreeing with his views.

Always liked Sheen, the first film I saw of his was Badlands, fine stuff.

The West Wing I have the first five series and they're entertaining well paced, dialog driven fine pieces of drama.

I'm always taken back to Gil Scott-Heron's lyric from the Reagan era, when he lamented the fact that the wrong actor was the president "if only we'd'a had John Wayne". The song is B-Movie by the way. If you haven't heard it, I envy you the pleasure to come.

Anyway, was it just me or did anyone just love the way that President Bartlett used to put on his jacket in the West Wing?

It made the character for me.

Something to do with MS having a dodgy arm in real life, I believe.

Top geezer.

"would we take Jesse Jackson, hell we'd take Michael Jackson" fantstic stuff from Gil SH

The scene in the cathedral after Mrs Lanehan's funeral, where he clears the place, grinds out a cigarette on the floor and rails in impotetence at his God.
