The RIP thread

Here as well mate.

alistair

zackster Ah come on. He’s had a couple of decent roles (being generous), but he’s hardly Michael Douglas or William Hurt.

zackster

alistair you are comparing him to leading men (random ones at that) which Tom never was.

zackster

alistair this is a strong filmography

Homegrove

Tom Sizemore now gone. The man defined the 90s. So many great roles back then. The scene at the start of Heat when DeNiro slams Waingrow’s head on the table at the diner, and the one guy looks up, and Sizemore gives him the dead eyes-look “you really want to get involved in this” is great. Full OTT in True Romance, Scagnatti in Natural Born Killers… I could go on and on.

Homegrove

If films were a dance genre, then Heat would be muscular prog. Great film and a great supporting performance from Sizemore. Especial in that diner scene. RIP

benson

Homegrove Hadn’t realised he was the guy in heat who gave the eyes. Great scene.

The absolute twat who designed the worst building in London - won’t shed a tear for this one:

Now can his building be gotten rid of as well please?!

Was reading about that a bit back. Apparently the reflection from the sun off one side of the building nukes a building not far away from it for 2 hrs a day at certain times of the year making it unbearably hot and extreme UV’s. Another building below one side says the wind deflects off the concaved plane in a cyclonic effect and keeps blowing bits off it.
Sounds like a cunt of a building.

Thought that had been corrected not long after it was built?

Homegrove

The modern skyscrapers in London are such eyesores. Actually all new super high buildings tend to be. This one in New York is a great example.

Aah fuck knows, was a while ago when I read about it.

hugopal

Mad_Cyril it was fitted with shading a year later, but it’s still the ugliest large building in London and completely ruins both views of the City and the atmosphere walking around the old streets in the Bank/Fenchurch Street area looming over everything.

Homegrove

Dermo behind the news? Well I never.

Homegrove Dermo behind the news? Well I never.

Approx 9hrs in front here.

Henry For me, the action is the juice.

Smallman1

In 2005, he went back to jail for violating his probation by failing a drug test, after being caught trying to use a prosthetic penis to fake the results. According to prosecutors, Sizemore had been caught once before trying to use a similar device.

Ledge!

Millsy

benson yeah that was Tom Sizemore in that film starring Tom Sizemore and featuring said scene, featuring Tom Sizemore.

I only heard about it 2nd hand about 6 months ago but was told it has to be sorted straight after it was detected.

Was wondering if I’d heard one of those modern fables!

The views from Duck and Waffle are sensational.

Top skyscaper.

Top skyscaper.

Duck and Waffle is in Heron Tower, which is a completely different skyscraper designed by different architects - what’s the point you’re trying to make?!

Smallman1

Wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out that Derm and Hans Christian Andersen were friends.

gcw

hugopal I think he’s saying that the views from the Heron Tower are sensational. Given that you had said the Walkie Talkie building was ugly, he’s merely offering his opinion on a good skyscraper
