Video: Charlie's BFI speech (but it's not what you think)

Here's Jeff, who thought it would be an idea of some sort to YouTube his own reading of Charlie's BFI/BAFTA speech. The video includes cigarette-smoking and a British accent, and it goes for about 40 minutes. That's 40 uninterrupted minutes of one guy reading another guy's speech out loud for the benefit of the interwebs. It's awesome and bizarre.

 

 

Sometimes I wonder about the folks reading BCK. I really do. But I love your creativity and the strange things y'all come up with.

I also love Charlie's BFI speech. It's much more than a screenwriting lecture, that's for damned sure. (And at one point he talks about how everything ends up on YouTube. Wonder what he's thinking as he sees this.)
