Sometimes, as a fringe player (Chamberlain has started only 4 of the 8 games in the Premier League), it's easy to dish out top - drawer
performances when you are asked to do a
cameo role for the team, and very least is expected of you.
And
when I saw his
cameo performance on Sunday I sadly didn't feel the same pang of sadness that I did the week before and sadly, the week before that because the more and more I start to think about the reality of the situation, the more that pragmatism kicks in for my mind.
There's fun to be had in spotting Udo Kier, Ken Foree, and Brad Dourif in
cameo roles (meanwhile, Zombie's standard company returns, his wife Sheri Moon turning in a wonderful
performance as our bogeyman's stripper mommy), but it's distracting as well, almost too much like a rib - chucker (think The Howling — and sure enough, there's Dee Wallace as the adoptive mother of hero girl Laurie (Scout Taylor - Compton, also attached to an upcoming April Fool's Day remake)-RRB- that only ever really worked
when John Landis gave it a shot with An American Werewolf in London.
