Can someone figure out who this is? I'm not arsed

Also doesn't this confirm all the theories about Olly's "connections in the industry"? Could explain how he got his vampire movie made
His name is Will Smith he got this Emmy win for 'slow horses'. His 3rd Emmy win and 5th nomination, so if he is Ollie cousin (and not like a 2nd cousin or cousin four time removed) that's a real in he has in the industry. Can see how his agent got him those token roles in Star Wars and HotD.
I'm not saying we should dox his family tree to see his industry connections, but it would be nice to have an outline.

baffling 7.3 to a still baffling 6.6
Considering the majority of the nine people who gave it a rating on IMDb are probably PT fans and Nebula subscribers, it's not all that baffling.

But is it normal to have these "short films" be filmed almost exclusively in one area?
Very normal for low-budget productions in general, and short films typically have low budgets, so yes.

It seems like a very boring premise in my opinion. The entire film being solely two people talking in a restaurant and then a waiter occasionally saying something. Maybe a flashback or two. Counting the whole thing is dialogue only, I would've assumed the script would've been... different. Not better per se, but... it kind of seems like the entire script was written in one day and the first draft was used. I guess it's my fault for assuming it would've had any emotions or love put into it, whether the premise was cringe or not, but still.
Someone (Valentine Vee?) in the initial press announcement compared it to My Dinner with Andre which basically has the same premise - two guys talking at a restaurant (not about vampirism and rough sex though). Plenty of people would also find that boring, but plenty of people like the movie. Depends on your taste, really.

I know him from The Thick of It. He's not bad but painfully posh. This, combined with Ollie's brother being in the footlights means he has a lot of connections at his disposal.

This "movie" is just a hodgepodge of random allegories and references to movies and shows that Olly thinks are liked by smart people. Olly being Olly he completely misunderstands everything though. In My Dinner with Andre the waiter is supposed to be the most grounded character, he provides a contrast to the highly animated characters engaging in charged conversation and represents the audience. In Olly's mind this means the character's only trait is that he must be blindly adoring of Olly, which completely invalidates the character and makes the role utterly useless. Olly could have just assaulted one of the random bar patrons with the same effect in the "story". Rogers phoning it in also doesn't help.

The random and unnecessary fourth wall break at the end is an obvious reference to Fleabag. A show I haven't watched myself but as previously discussed in this thread, definitely fits the "show smart people like" moniker.

Connections are magical like that. Especially "Oxbridge".

When people like John Cleese talk about their rise from student to star, it feels like there's "missing steps", but having an in with that crowd is a massive advantage.

A more personal example - a cousin of mine got a book published and a couple of short films financed and made through connections at Oxbridge. And described the journey like it was nothing. Now has a fairly decent teaching position without a teaching qualification, just an Oxbridge undergraduate degree.
(Was there really any need to be so vague? Knowing my cousin's sex and which "half" of Oxbridge wouldn't be identifying info!)

Imagine rating Dracula's Ex-Boyfriend a 10/10.
Not even a newborn baby that never experienced a movie before would rate it this high, not even retards would rate it this high.
I bet not even the director would rate it this high.
You have to be completely out of your mind to give it more than 2, 1 for effort (I am generous with the term effort) and 1 for the comic value.
 
Aha, he got in because of Dave's contacts. That guy is such a chaser, it's unreal. He's pumping so much money into Olly (and hopefully only money), people who subscribe to Nebula must start asking questions at this point about where exactly their subscription money is going to.
 
I don’t even have words to properly describe how bad this dress is on him, his massive torso is screwing up the neckline and the golden bra is just slapped onto him because he barely has estrogen moobs. He couldn’t pick an outfit that works on his body if he tried.
 
Olly suffers from one of the big problems that FtMs do too, they don’t just want to be the other sex, they want to be the other sex, BUT SEXY AND YOUNG.

This glorified YouTube Short would still be cringe if he were female and dressed like that at his age, coming out with those lines, because he is too old, haggard, and it doesn’t work.

It is not convincing because he is not sexy, he is aged out of the part.
He needs to learn that if he wants to make it in Hollywood, starlets age out at 26, and he is way over the hill, baby.
He couldn’t pick an outfit that works on his body if he tried.
Choob is like a Rob Schneider movie brought to life.

Not even contacts really. If you're a member of the Television Academy (anyone who works in television can get it for $200/year), you can just buy a ticket for I think $500-$600 (although that's the cheap seats, not a table) and I'm sure Dave would be a member.

Apparently Brian styled this outfit. If my imagination is accurate and Brian secretly hates Ollie and tries to find new and interesting ways to make him look bad without Ollie realising, this is a tour de force. I will say the brands that have been selected are all really interesting ones, and I like some of the pieces in isolation, but obviously Ollie does not look good.

Probably cost about £3250/$4300 in total (plus also Bryan's stylist fees and the hair and makeup fees). Some of these might be rentals but the dress seems to mostly be made to order (although I've found it on Revolve and Farfetched). Big chunk of change! I wonder if Nebula is arguing that dressing Ollie for a red carpet is a business expense

It can't be worth it, Dave.

All this money to celebrate a shitty youtube shorts video? Unbelievable.
All of this seems like some white collar crime shit - from making this crap of a "movie" (it seems they treat other words like they treat the definition of woman) to all this red carpet ridiculousness.

The model for the dress on the website is clearly a man as well (what a strange world we live in), so I can only guess what it might look like on a woman, but in my opinion it would be hideous on anyone.

It can't be worth it, Dave.
Does he post many pictures like this of him with anyone else on Nebula? Or is it just Choob he lavishes his attention on? Because I'm about 85% sure they're fucking at this point.
