I have recently seen the new video for Take That’s latest song (which is also the theme tune for the new film “Stardust”). I wholeheartedly recommend the video, if only for Mark Owens’s particularly bizarre monkey dancing.
Credit where credit is due-all the other chaps in the band seem to have looked after themselves and are in fairly good nick (spending the last 10 years stacking shelves with heavy cans of beans in ASDA will do that for a man) but there’s a particularly fine moment where the camera pans across the band, and they all try really hard to look a soulful as possible whilst sucking in their stomachs, until the shot reaches the malformed dwarf that is Mark Owen and the camera noticeably has to dip to reveal what looks like a chimp dressed as Mickey Rourke wearing a pork pie hat and shambling madly like a tramp who has been offered a crate of Lambrini…
I don’t think that can be helping them with their comeback at all-they can’t afford anything that will repel their fan base (which consists almost entirely of “mothers who wear leather trousers”) so I fully expect him to have a tragic accident in the near future.
The film looks shit as well-any film that has Robert De Niro turning to the camera with a knowing and self deprecating smile will be bound to be a disappointment. Shame-I read the book a few times and enjoyed it tremendously. The film looks like “The Princess Bride” but with added tripe.
