Arrogant Khan

Just found a quick thread for all those Khan fans/haters. Amir is explaining why he thinks he isnt arrogant and that its all banter. What you guys think? I dont think he is as many of you are aware, i just feel he has a great sense of self belief and confidence.

Cheers, enjoy your day!

I think you'll find that the word is "haterz".

I don't think he's arrogant. I think he's an arrogant tosspot. The difference is like comparing a great white shark and a penguin in terms of ferocious killing machines.

Hardly one to criticise someone for arrogance coxy...

Not sure of your point, not like i said he needs to sort his anger issues out.

Good sport.

I'd be siding with the Penguin in that one.

A small biscuit based confectionary snack. I don't get it?

I sometimes think you do it on purpose Tino.

He obviously meant the publisher of paperback novels.

In that case Union Penguin are obviously better as anything in black and white, which books tend to be is better than colour.

I stand corrected then.

Don't think its his arrogance thats the problem. Its more that he comes across as a bit of a plank. Some ppl can pull it of like Flyod whereas some like Khan cannot.

Just give it a rest Jeff. This is a thread about Amir Khan and his haterz, not about old things and imaginary fighters. You're old, we get it.

Fine, if that's how you want to play it. I'm off to watch It's a Wonderful life and listen to Vera Lynn

I love it when Union comes on here and has the best arguments along with Scottrf and Coxy. Where is Baltimora.

No need to run and hide Jeff...

Did you happen to see both of them when they first came out by any chance?. ("Mr Smith Goes to Washington" was the better Capra film also.)

It's a Wonderful Life is a great film. Frank Capra, brilliant. You can stay on for a bit longer now Jeff.

Have not seen Mr Smith though will have to try and get hold of it now as I do love It's a Wonderful life, tears to a glass eye stuff, although obviously I didn't cry, I'm a Yorkshireman, have not shed a tear since Fiery Fred passed away.

He was a bit Fiery our Fred.

Come on Jeff, you had some dust in your eye.

And I'd been peeling onions

If I was to recommend Capra films I'd say you have to see the following if your a fan of the man.

Mr Smith Goes to Washington - His best work without doubt.
It Happened One Night - I'm not a Clark Gable fan but this is the one film I thought he was excellent in.
Mr Deeds Goes to Town - Brilliant film before Adam Sandler butchered it.

Have seen Mr Deeds, agree about Sandler, will be some time until I forgive him for that

Has Saville gone yet?

Film, just another medium for you thats better in black/white though early days of colour was top notch also.

Now then, now then! Ol' Savile is still going strong lad. Howzabout that, then?

Agree and by a country mile. Loved Minnesota Fats

Though "12 Angry Men" was in colour...

Gold old jimmy. Loved that program.

The sad thing is, little kids sitting on a blinged up 50+ blokes lap would be deemed innapproprite these days. Coming to think of it, I haven't seen the werther's original advert for a while..... Once had a job transferring boxes of werther's originals from a Euro pallet to a UK pallet. Fascinating stuff.

Even has Jake La Motta in as the barman in the train station to give it a tenuous boxing link. George C Scott is awesome in that, as he is in just about everything

Probably say Dr Stranglelove (even ends on a Vera Lynn song) is my favourite George C Scott performance, though I'm more a Henry Fonda fan.

You've lost me...

What about a "modern" movie, filmed in black and white Dass? Schindlers List or something along those lines. Uh, answer me that clever clogs.

As great as Scott and Fonda were, evolution and developments of acting techniques and acting training mean that they wouldn't last two seconds on screen with today's actor such as Zach Efron, Jason Statham and Justin Timberlake.

This. Very little charisma and zero sense of irony ruin things for Khan. If he said some of the things he does, but with a sense of humour, or even a wry smile or a hint of sarcasm, he'd be easier to relate to. As it is he has all the personality of paper clip.

I thought Trousersnake was quite good in Social Network...... Independence Day and Top Gun are in my all time Top 5 though.

Statham for one thing would kick the living poopie out of Jane Fonda.

Fonda is terrific, the aforementioned 12 Angry Men is an incredible film. Agree with Chris though, Jason Statham would have improved it somewhat.

Did Henry Fonda even exist?

So you think Khan is arrogant?

There's a couple around but to infrequent these days, prefer "Man Bites Dog" or "Pi" to "Schindlers List" though

Since we're on about black and white films and to avoid this thread getting kicked into the pub thread if anyone has not seen the Harder they Fall is worth watching, very cynical in it's portrayal of the sport but a decent film, Humphrey Bogart's last screen role and even has Jersey Joe Walcott as the trainer in it.

In a car crash kind of way I'd quite like to see Jason Statham in a remake of 12 Angry Men, I think there's something wrong with me.

Yep, but no more than a lot of other boxers are.
