Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
bangzinga I really can't believe that this show is popular! James Lipton has wonderful guests appear on the show but his manner is so boring and stagnant that it is painful to watch! The questions that he asks the guests are typical non confrontational boring questions! On occasion James asks a good question but doesn't follow up and delve deeper! I really find James Lipton boring and his voice is aggravating! When the questions are directed by the audience the questions are even more safe and predictable! The apprentice actors in the audience don't want to offend the accomplished actor by asking a controversial question! I understand this but James Lipton could attempt to show the viewers a different side of the guest but this never happens! Boring interviewer with a boring demeanor!
elshikh4 Maybe it's the only comment here which has a spoiler alert because I'll reveal some real secrets from this show ! Like how (Robin Williams) is an intellectual actor not only a clever clown who quitted drugs because the love of his child and the death of his fellow (john Belushi), and how he could answer every question by a long, breathtaking and totally improvised sketch ! How (Ben Affleck) reacted when he first saw a screenplay for him in shooting (cried), or when he won the Oscar in the age of 26, and the different endings of his (good well hunting)'s script, plus the (Matt Damon)'s eternal hatred to be in a classroom !(Val Kilmer) is actually a poet who hates his movies (Top Gun, Batman Forever, The Island of Dr. Moreau ..etc) being the best man on earth to mock at and tell jokes about them. (Harrison Ford) is a co-writer in most of his movies (without credits !), and thinks that god will tell him at the pearly gates "You look better in person." (!!!). (Clint Eastwood) can SMILE, and LAUGH TOO !! And made all of his career by believing in (take your work serious but don't take your life so serious) rule, and by the way he wants 72 virgins for him only when he goes to heaven !! (Hugh Jackman) is not only "Wolverine" from (X Men) but also a fine singer and a star of great musical plays. (Will Smith)'s word (Gettin Jiggy With It) is considered valid, accepted and appeared in the new dictionary while he still doesn't know the actual meaning of it !! (Antonio Banderas) works with no exact method, waiting for the truth to hit him the second he dies ! (Bette Midler) stayed for 3 whole years with no job for no reason ! (Debra Winger) is a nice and melancholy woman who slept in a grave once just to see the influence of that on her, so she can use those new feelings in a role after (!) since she see that (the one who doesn't surprise himself is just not knowing himself) !(Ed Harris) is a great man who believes in one principle (that effected me as a screenwriter myself)…I'll paraphrase it : (after all your studying, just leave yourself free and forget what you've studied, because after that, your own sense will choose what it needs and can succeed with), though I didn't understand his very long hard silence when he mentioned accidentally his parents !? (Kevin Spacey) is a perfect genius in impersonation American and British actors (and actresses too !) and he admitted of robbing once from a woman's purse (a party's invitation) just to get some role, and Mr. Lipton insisted on telling the whole story for the sake of the students to learn a lot about fame, fate and maybe the different ways of seizing the opportunities.Well, these are some parts of the secrets. So of course with the wit, great culture, and the sense of humor of James Lipton you'll know the real secrets of this show's magic, charm and continuance. And Yes, he has natural sense of humor and repartee, just keep watching carefully and you'll discover that and discover a lot more also because this is a rare simple show that can enjoy as well as teach in the same time.
oscarnestell Ok. I used to like this show. But after a while you realize that James Lipton does nothing but kiss butt. He is, simply put, the worst brown-noser ever. A wannabe who now runs a show that is becoming increasingly softball. Lipton has never, EVER posed a question that has even come close to being a hardball question. He slobbers his guests with wet kisses. Sure, in the process, some interesting info comes out, but it comes out because the guest lets it out, not because of Lipton. And take a look at the recent roster of guests. Naomi Watts ... huh? Could it possibly be that she has a movie called "21 Grams" coming out that very week? Jude Law ... I'm sure the impending premiere of "Cold Mountain" had absolutely nothing to do with his appearance. And now? JAY LENO ... I guess he'll be filed under such great actors as BILLY JOEL, another guest on "Inside the ACTOR'S Studio".In booking these last two guests, I guess Lipton was too busy kissing someones butt to realize that some of his guests are not actors at all.Used to be a great show, but as Lipton slobbers his way to fame, the show becomes more and more castrated.
scroogish I have watched this show many a time when im feeling distinctly bored and every time the presenter of this clearly low budgeted program seems to make my skin crawl. He is boring, wooden, has little to no charisma and places every person that enters there on to a little pedestal, which is frankly vomit inducing. The audience clap politely whenever the rare occasion is that he raises his voice to highlight some other tedious Matthew Broderick detail which seems silly and attempts to appear like a high class artsy production. Over all, the programme tends to use a very standard boring formula, which merely encourages me to change the channel whenever i see it on.Despite that , there are some rare interesting actors that appear on it, however most seem to talk to him because they havent been able to get film work in years. Has so much potential, get rid of James Lipton.
