Louis Theroux Posted Tue Oct 3 10:34:23 BST 2000 by Ewar Woowar

Made me laugh out loud a few times last night. Funnier than Frank Skinner, easily. Is my lust for The Deadpan One clouding my judgement? Can anyone who *doesn't* want his babies give an opinion?

I don't want anyone's babies. Dirty, smelly little things with no hair and a penchant for vomitting.
Quite like Louis Theroux, though, in a strange sort of way. Although I'd prefer to wrestle Nanette Newman.

What about clonwe and GAS BOTTLE then? God I miss them, they used to cheer me up.

And back to my original question: is it possible to be objective about the quality of a person's work when that person is a steaming sexpot?

She's so gorgeous. Have you seen The Truth About Cats and Dogs? A ridiculous film, the premise of which is based on the notion that JG is plain and dumpy and far less attractive than Uma Thurman, which is clearly untrue.

I think this is like that old "people you fancied as a kid" thread in that blokes are going to have the longer lists.

so I'm not the only one that thinks that Janeane Garofalo is waaaaaay more attractive than uma thurman.

thanks for showing me I'm not the only one who thinks this!

Even my mum thinks JG is more attractive than Uma Thurman, and she rarely makes her opinions known.

I also agree about Louis Theroux. He befriends yet betrays people so effortlessly he is a marvel to see in action. Possibly even in the calibre of Jon's 'I have a very blurred view of your postings' line.

A classic moment in Monday's programme was when he asked the devoutly spiritual American what his name was and he murmerred some Hindu and then Louis prompted him to reveal his real name.

Finally saw Monday's night's programme (taped it along with TGP). I have to admit, I do genuinely like Theroux, I just don't know why. It's difficult to tell if he likes the folks he surrounds himself with, or if he is gently mickey taking them. Maybe it's a *blind spot* with me....

It's nice to see a man of true intelligence on TV. Jon Ronson's another graduate of the "embrace then backstab" style of interviewing. If only all journalists were like them, then we might find out something close to the truth in interviews.

Janeane Garofalo - couldn't agree more. She looked particularly good as The Bowler in Mystery Men (shame they didn't cut about half-an-hour out of it, though).
It's Aleks *Bit*, by the way, not Bits. Aleks Bit, Bouff Bit and Other Bit - *collectively* they are Bits.
C'mon, she's yummy.

Me neither. She cool, and not in Dogma for long enough. Anyone got an address for some scary shrine site compiled by a quiet loner? There must be at least a dozen, surely.

And what bits they've got!

I agree about JG.

She was brill in 'Cats and Dogs'.

Her voice totally suited the dry humour of her character.

She also had a small part in Grosse Point
Blank, which is a film I can watch again and again too.

Wasn't she in Seinfeld of the Larry Sanders show too??

Both - she was a regular on Larry Sanders up to about series three or four, and played Jeannie Steinman in Seinfeld, a woman Jerry was engaged to on the basis that they were exactly the same. (She only lasted two episodes, though - good innings for a sexual partner on that show.)

Fred Barron (creator of 'My Family' and producer of the early Larry Sanders) cast her in that.

My wife's recurring comment on Theroux Jr: "I'd drink a tub of his bathwater".

And I'd do the same for JG and Aleks Bit. Good God, you people have taste.

Personally, I wouldn't drink anybody's bath water. What would be the point? I can't see it endearing them toward you or anything.

Indeed. I had similar sentiments about a saying of an old work colleague:
"Cindy Crawford? (or whoever it was) I'd use her shit for toothpaste!"

As if his quest for Cindy wasn't hampered enough by being one of my co-workers in a South Wales record shop. I can't imagine this excrement/dental care combo being the clincher...

Well, I could imagine her finding it quite endearing deep enough into the relationship where they both felt comfortable enough to be in the bathroom together - one exercising their bowels, the other scrubbing off their plaque. It's getting to that point that's tricky.
