I couldn't figure out why I liked Russel Brand. Yes I saw he was intellegent, witty and handsom. But he is made out to be such a demon; a womaniser, drug addict, mischief maker. I think this helped figure it out, its his honesty, sincerity, and wonder of all things.
To be honest, I think Russell is a bit hurt that James would rather live on the streets rather than live with him. When he says stuff like "oh I think I might want some space too"
this is a good example that just because someone is houseless doesn't mean there homeless his home on on the street where he feels most at peace. a few day ago i ignored a houseless guy i felt so bad about it but it wasn't personal i just like keeping to myself.
I'm half way through reading Russell's Booky Wook (got the book yesterday morning and hardly put it down) and had to pause out of interest to see some of these RE:Brand episodes, more out of interest to see what Russell was like at this period in his life..I'm really taken back by this Homeless James one. It shows a very different kind and caring side to Russell.
Just downloaded and watched all the RE Brand eps. This is television, creative, at times controversial and pushing the boundaries of what society deems to be acceptable. Russ deserves an award for this.
I decided to check this out because I am currently reading Russell's book where he talks quite extensively about this experience. Man , he was really fucked up during this (according to him)! Junkie!
I'm glad Russell Brand became a flavor here in the US because while a lot of people just see the wild-haired lothario, some of us are willing to seek out his other work and after I saw RE:Brand, I just fell in love with him. I don't know if any US "celebrities" would be so willing to be kind or embrace a homeless person, even if just for ratings. Russell's a decent human being, man.
True... but at the time Russell wasn't a celebrity. This show was on at like 3am on some obscure satellite channel, and most of the time he was high as fuck while filming, before or after. Don't get me wrong though, still love Russ.
i preferd brand before his image change even though he hasnt let it compromise his veiws id like to see him returm to this style of television becuase alot of the is really moving.
No, I meant that the book has been released in Australia. But chanel 7 has actually purchased Ponderland, so they'll be showing that some time, but I don't know when exactly.
Aww i remember the good old days when most of the full episodes were on youtube:) I'm glad i saw them before thy got taken off:)
I can hardly remember them though it was like a year ago :( the best one is "my Ol' Tart" and "Wanky, Wanky" :D I think the only one i havent seen in the one where he lives with a prostitute:/
to be honest Iv just been readin his book n he talks a bit about RE:Brand n he sorta ov says on the clips he propa looks like hes on heroin coz wen they made it he was reeli reeli reeli addicted to it but tbh i carnt tell that much here
Russell sounds so innocent and sweet I cant believe he was a sex and drug addict
