Michael Caine can f*ck off

Every film so far. Can anyone think of a film where he hasn't hammed it up to the max, embarassing the professionally trained actors around him, whilst getting as much cash as possible from the "gor blimey spare arf a shillin' for a lonely faggot" accent? Damn his eyes, especially for his part in the film I just finished watching: Mona Lisa; a great film with some smart acting by Bob Hoskins and Robbie Coltrane, a solid script with intelligently balanced sympathies (a rare quality in modern films). Caine shits all over it with his twitching, arm-waving overacting, making a set-top box with a fast-forward feature a must. For UK viewers, buy this: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/97845. For an 80G HD and reasonable features, it's well worth the price. Currently mine is recording Battle Royale for later viewing; along with 28 Days later and a smattering of other choice films (mostly from Film 4), I now have a good Saturday night selection for when the time comes.

None of which features Michael Caine. Because he's an embarassment to every movie he has ever been in, and succeeds because Americans believe him to be "authentic" "English" (punctuation deliberate).

What would be good would be a Battle Celebtrite - I reckon the winner would totally be Simon Amstell - in extremis,I reckon he would be be both tactical and ruthless. Cunning fuck.
