I’m watching Russell Brand on “Regis & Kelly,” and he’s actually a very clever, articulate guy who is genuinely making me laugh, and I’m starting to think I would actually like him if only I had been allowed to make the decision whether or not to like him for myself. Had he come up through smaller films, I might be a Russell Brand fan, but he’s been all in my face from the very start, and my reflexive reaction is to reject. It’s like when those angry little kids sell candy on the subway, and you think, “Candy? Why would anyone want delicious candy?”
Plus, don’t remake movies that don’t need remaking.
Still, at least there’s no new version of “Arthur’s Theme” by Katy Perry featuring Li’l Krinx.
We understand, Mr. Holmes. Russell’s current overexposure in the U.S.A. isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
