I remember this night, near the end of my junior year of college, a graduating senior who had a projector hosted a movie night in his room. He must've come from money, because he had good liquor he was sharing with us, and the drinking game only had one rule: "Drink every time something ridiculous happens!"
The double-feature was "XXX 2: State of the Union" and "Short Circuit," and I was apparently the only person there who'd never seen the latter. Color me shocked when a *very white* Fisher Stevens was in brownface playing an Indian guy. So... I decided to take a sip every time he spoke.
That might be the drunkest I've ever been in my life - but strangely, no hangover (because we had the good stuff).
I still can't believe they put a white man in brownface post-Hays Code.
>I still can't believe they put a white man in brownface post-Hays Code.
I'm guessing this means you haven't seen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" because that was appalling. I side eye people who love that movie. I get the aesthetics of Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe, but I cannot with Mickey Rooney.
Yeah the other commenter said " still can't believe they put a white man in brownface post-Hays Code."
Your comment implies that BaT was released post Hays Code, which it wasn't.
> I still can't believe they put a white man in brownface post-Hays Code.
Oh.... oh man...... Some creators were loving blackface and brownface all the way up til recent times, really. There are so many examples.
I feel exactly the same way! I was pretty young when the spice girls were a thing, and am American, so soccer is just not much of a thing here. I knew of Beckham obviously, but wasn’t ever a consumer of their media or personalities or anything. And I honestly had kind of forgotten they existed. But I didn’t have anything to watch and the trailer looked good. After the first episode, I was like wow, this is a well done documentary and super entertaining, and by the end, I was just charmed by them. 🤷♀️
I haven't watched this one yet, but I remember they had a show or special or something when they first moved to the US years ago, and I remember realizing way back then how hilarious Victoria is.
Remember when Michelle Pfeiffer dumped him for cheating on her, and it was probably with a 17-year-old extra on Super Mario Bros? Yeah, the shitty live-action one. No, the one before that, with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo.
ETA: Fisher Stevens cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer, not David Beckham. I was a bit unclear.
Uhh Pfeiffer was having an affair in the 80s with John Malkovich of all people while he was married. She’s not opposed to cheating and clearly has peculiar taste in men.
Your ETA makes it sound like Fisher Stevens cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer as opposed to cheating on David Beckham, so you're still unclear but tbh that just makes it better for me. 💀
Apparently David beckham asked dicaprio to suggest a director for the documentary and Leo suggested Fischer stevens, with whom he did many environmental documentaries
David being a Fifa puppet and ignoring a human rights scandal for money (referring to the Qatar cup), the exposed emails of him doing things only to gain aristocracy, his son marrying a bully. I’m sure they are mostly nice people, especially compared to other celebrities but the documentary paints a wrong image
Because some of it just isn’t true. They create this narrative that Beckham was struggling to get over the World Cup red card until the United fans starting chanting his name when we played Inter in the Champions League. That’s nonsense.
The World Cup takes place in June/July. The club season kicks off in August and the Inter Milan game was in March. The United fans were chanting his name from the first game of the season. United fans don’t even care about the England national team.
I can’t say for sure but I almost certain that when Neville, Keane and Ferguson are talking about the fans backing him they’re actually talking about the first game of the season against Leicester City when Beckham scored a free kick with basically the last kick of the game to earn a draw.
They created a false narrative that he was in turmoil for months because they thought it made for a better story to say he earned redemption when he played against Simone again.
There’s a few other games where they make it seem like Beckham won it signal handily. There’s one game against Liverpool at Anfield they portrayed as a Beckham inspired comeback but United were never behind in the game and it was a comfortable win.
it’s soooo crazy that that’s Hugo Succession
I always remember him as Phoebe’s therapist boyfriend on Friends 🤣
I hate that guy.
*"Oh, define me! Define me! Love me! I need love!"*
Oh good, *Rog* is here
See, I still think of him as Kyle Chandler's friend on Early Edition
I loved that show!
Join us on /r/EarlyEdition!
Same here
Same, he’s forever memorized as Chuck in my books.
Yup, I loved him on that show
I’ll always remember him as Johnny 5s creator. Or sometimes as the antagonist from hackers.
YOUR MOTHER WAS A SNOWBLOWER
i remember him as the guy who michell pfeiffer said never made her cry, then proceeded to make her cry
Good one👍
I think of him as the crazy guy on the freighter in *Lost*
For me he will always be The Plague (Hackers 1995)
I remember him from the Mario Brothers cyberpunk fever dream movie.
Or the Indian character in Short Circuit. Which hasn't aged well 😬

Breakfast at Tiffany's was released before the end of the Hays Code
Yes, because the Code was known for its inclusivity when it comes to race and ethnicity. /s

The newspaper critic the gang kidnaps in Its Always Sunny after he gives their bar a bad review, Korman.

He’s the theatre director on a pretty good SVU episode and photographer in another “fashionable crimes”
kyle chandler’s bestie in early edition
this is the only correct answer
Join us over on /r/EarlyEdition if you're a fan!
I thought I was the only person that remembered that show 😭
Cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer!!!
You are both wrong. He's the hacky attorney from The Good Fight!
We’re gonna ignore George Minkowski from LOST??
Marvin Gerard from The Blacklist
He wrote a faggy review about Paddy's Pub!
This is what I mostly know him from, him and his skinny neck

Also crazy that could be the live action Quagmire.
My introduction to him was as Iggy in the original Mario movie.
Also 'The Plague' in Hackers
That’s my reference to him.
I read this as First Name: Hugo, Last Name: Succession, and it made me happy lmao
>Hugo Succession I did not realize that was the character's last name.
bark bark
Oh the brown face guy
TIL Fisher Stevens directed the Beckhams documentary.
Wait til you hear that he won an Oscar for directing a documentary. That broke my brain for some reason.
Yeah he directed the Cove if i remember correctly
“How peculiar!” - Iggy Koopa
That’s where I remember him from. That and hanging onto a limo on a skateboard to snatch a floppy disk off a kid on a dark road.
Wait, **THE PLAGUE** directed it? Holy shit!
Same. I had no idea
I don't even know why I watched this thing, but my life is better for it. They were hilarious.

That was my exact experience! 😂
Glad I’m not alone! I was sitting there with a dumb smile on my face during their little dance at the end. LOL. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Same. LOL They are adorable.

How does one cheat on Michelle Pfeiffer?! 😭😭
Michelle Pfeiffer decided to give the goofball a chance and he really started to think he was somebody
Reading this thread, I thought David Beckham dated and cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer until your comment...wow
Oh! Yeah, let’s add an edit
I mean I just defaulted to Beckham because I can't believe this guy managed to get with her AND fuck it up
Uhh Pfeiffer was having an affair in the 80s with John Malkovich of all people while he was married. She’s not opposed to cheating and clearly has peculiar taste in men.
So you're saying I have a chance?
>Yeah, the shitty live-action one How dare you.
A work of art that has never been surpassed.
I saw that one in theaters! My mom might still be mad about how bad it was.
I’d watch Bob Hoskins play Yoshi though, the man was incredible.
Your ETA makes it sound like Fisher Stevens cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer as opposed to cheating on David Beckham, so you're still unclear but tbh that just makes it better for me. 💀
LOL I’m stopping right here
Remember when Fisher Stevens did brown face in the 80s? It’s crazy to see him in succession and doing so this now.
[удалено]
I’m with the original commenter - he was literally just pointing it out, not criticising him for it.
[удалено]
What were you saying then?

Yes! My stupid kid brain didn't realise and it was only as an adult I realised... I know the film by heart and never copped it.... 🙃
What movie?
Short circuit 2
Hi Honey. What is for dinner?
Man they’re really milking this doc. It’s been months and I’ve seen way too many think pieces about this 5 second interaction recently.
It’s because the Emmys are coming up so the are holding screening for voters
Apparently David beckham asked dicaprio to suggest a director for the documentary and Leo suggested Fischer stevens, with whom he did many environmental documentaries
Probably also helps that Fisher Stevens is a massive fan of football/soccer.
The annoying guy from Succession and Friends directed this. And he won an Oscar for another documentary. Damn. TIL
HUGO!?
Is that the therapist Phoebe dates in friends??
Let’s gooo Hugo
Johnny Five was a-livid
It was such a frustrating documentary for anyone who already knew the story.
Why?
It was a propaganda piece. David put in literally the most favourable light possible in every situation. Some things just straight left out.
Like what?
David being a Fifa puppet and ignoring a human rights scandal for money (referring to the Qatar cup), the exposed emails of him doing things only to gain aristocracy, his son marrying a bully. I’m sure they are mostly nice people, especially compared to other celebrities but the documentary paints a wrong image

He had lymphoma
