THAT was hand down th b at game of football I've ever seen. If you don't agree:
1. Choose another sport.
2. You don't have a clue mate.
3. Your entire family probably thinks you're a PRAT.

But this is to support Walliams.

"I wrote this story ['Gloria' (1980] to sell, strictly to sell. I really didn’t want to do that movie. Columbia insisted I direct it, which I really didn’t want. Too commercial. I like to make movies that don’t go."
--- John Cassavetes
Full Excerpt:
"'Gloria' (1980) was an accident. Of course, I believe the business is a meta physical thing – no rules apply. The phone rang and it was Dick Shepherd, who’s at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and he said, ‘We’ve been very successful with a kid’s story, The Champ. You don’t happen to have a story about kids, do you? If you could come up with something for Ricky Schroder, I’d buy it immediately.’ So I wrote a very fast-moving, thoughtless piece about gangsters. And I don’t even know any gangsters! I sent it over. In the meantime, Schroder signed to do a picture with Walt Disney, so MGM lost interest.
And then my agent Guy MacElwaine said, ‘I like this script very much, let me give it to Columbia,’ and I said, ‘OK.’ So they sent it to Columbia, and a couple of days later he called and he said, ‘I have some good news and some bad news. One, they like the picture very much and want to buy it. And they want to have Gena in the picture.’ And I said what’s the bad news. ‘The bad news,’ he said, ‘is they want you to direct it.’ So that’s where we started.
I wrote this story to sell, strictly to sell. I really didn’t want to do that movie. Columbia insisted I direct it, which I really didn’t want. Too commercial. I like to make movies that don’t go. Besides that, I didn’t like killing off an entire family to make a picture. In the end, I decided that it is a story of violence, but less physical than emotional violence."
