Did you see how I originally failed to export this article properly before I got in the shower? Bad dates.

Paul Freeman is one of my favouritist British actors! He has quite powerful eyes...

Hope you had a hoot, Ellie! :o)

Nice interview, shame about the insistence that he'll never play a game in his life. Do you think older people realise that these days saying you'll never play a game is a bit like saying you'd never go to see a film in your life 50 years ago?

Looking forward to the interviews with Ford and Spielberg, I'm assuming that Eurogamer - games site of the stars - will be doing more of these.

I don't think Ellie is a fan of anything, except maybe dry understatement :)

Sounds like a very likable and funny guy.

However, considering how straight-forward he was about gaming, I would have asked if he lives off social security, so he had to take a job he's got no idea about.
On the other hand aren't the Lego games tailored for people, who don't play games or are to young to judge?

There's a bit in Raiders when Jones is about to blow up the ark with a bazooka and a fly wanders up Belloq's chin and into his mouth. Once you've seen it once, you can never stop noticing it. Anybody else seen that...?

Is this the guy who has his face melted by the ark? Or was that someone else? Too long since I've seen it...

Anyway, "face melting" has become something of a gaming expression, as in "Shadow specced priests melt faces in PVP".

Saw him in Glengarry Glen Ross in London a few months ago, he was very good. If only David Mamet wrote dialog for computer games...

Indiana Jones in ... Raiders of the Lost Atari E.T. cartridges.

They're out there, somewhere in the Nevada desert. You know it and I know it. ;-)

Don't rag on the guy for not being a gamer. He's from a pre-gaming generation ferchrissakes which may be hard to appreciate for those under 30.
Who really believes Spielberg when he says he's a gamer?

I don't think you can watch the movie and not notice the fly. I remember seeing it for the first time and just thinking.. what the hell?
I guess he just didn't want to ruin the scene by stopping?

Nothing adds realism like flies getting in shot.

If Robin Williams can be a hardcore FPS gamer, then I have no trouble believing Speilberg is a gamer.

I took my nephews to see the Power Rangers movie at the cinema, and my only respite from the shrill ravings of monstrous infants running up and down the aisles and showering me with random bits of spittle was Paul Freeman.

So, I am grateful to him for that. Ffft ffft!

Yeah but Robin Williams is insane, but in a good way.
