Dave Gorman


Quite frankly I was dissapointed how similar 'Google me' is to 'Are you Dave Gorman?' For more on that book/tv-series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_you_dave_gorman

Sure the technology wasn't this explicatly described in Gormans show, but his search for namesakes was waaaaaaaay more entertaining.

Couldn't agree more, the term rip off comes to mind! If you're going to copy a concept then at least improve upon it!!!!

reply

Yeah, what a rip off...stick with Gorman.

Dude, seriously, odds are this guy doesn't even know who Dave Gorman is. I don't and I watch a lot of Tv and movies.

"odds are this guy doesn't even know who Dave Gorman is. I don't and I watch a lot of Tv and movies."

Probably why he thought he could get away with it.

reply

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense.

How could he think he could get away with something he didn't even know he was doing? If he doesn't know who he is, he wouldn't think there's anything to get away with.

Well obviously i ment the fact that Gorman isn't that well known.

It's worth bearing in mind that THIS film was made by an American. That is, someone who is only vaguely aware that the rest of the world (including Dave Gorman) even EXISTS (as some kind of inferior copy of the USA, peopled by folk who ALL want to BE Americans.) Witness how the US distributors wanted to strip Sir David Attenborough's voice from the series of wildlife documentaries he created, on grounds that "he has a funny accent which many Americans won't understand." Fortuneately, it turned out that Attenborough had made his Wildlife series as a retirement project. He OWNED the series... and told the distributors that they could either take it as it was, or leave it. Americans, as it turned out, had no problems with his accent, and his voice is now one of the best known in the USA. Same deal with French movies. Americans don't understand French, and they won't (or maybe can't?) read subtitles. Some of the best French movies of the late 20th century are completely unknown to American audiences, who have no idea that (for example) "Down and Out in Beverly Hills", "Just Visiting", or "Three Men and a Baby" are simply inferior remakes of French originals.

Please keep your generalizations about America and its people to yourself. Firing off inflammatory and insulting comments about a people you obviously do not understand only serve to show how ignorant and biased you are.

What's more, Dave Gormans 2nd project was about Google!
What a Ripoff merchant.

Sorry to break it to you, zwartekatmovies, but the London, England based comic Dave Gorman is not generally known to Californians in their late 30s. I know, because I was one in 2006/7 the same as Jim Killeen.

I also hate to burst your bubble by suggesting that more than one person can come up with the same idea, independently. Since there are over six billion human beings on planet Earth, it's bound to happen.

Shocker, right?
