Shane Meadows to make tv series

[fubert]

See, if Richard didn't die at the end of Dead Mans Shoes that would have been a better sequel...

"Richard, accompanied the ghost of his dead brother only he can see, takes us on a tour of the midlands to meet his own favorite mentalists.. "

Dispensing his own special brand of justice... Helping out people in times of trouble... Putting right what once went wrong... Each time hoping that his next leap would be the leap home.

Excellent.

Have you considered a career as a commisioning editor for telly ?

I would fucking rule in that job.

 

[Part 2]

I don't know whether to be excited for something accessible and on telly or disappointed he's not doing another film.

I liked This is England but find it the easiest of his films to pick fault with. There were a lot of little details not quite right. Hopefully Woody and friends will re-appear.

Skin head gang in the late 1980's? I don't remember any.

The only skin heads I knew around the end of the 80's early 90's where people who had been skin heads for years and where in their 30's/40's. Not the yoof.

Does it say it's going to be about a skinhead gang? It'll be about the same characters, not that they will still be a skinhead gang

Were skins still around in 1987??? I thought they all graduated to playing on the stock markets and started drinking in wine bars by then.

still around NOW . No stock markets, just aggravating people on here and drinking and ducking and diving

 

[fubert]

Always had the feeling that Shane Meadows is trying to be a bit Alan Clarke, and just missing the mark a little..

 

[HobgoblinMan]

I hope Danny Dyer gets a big role in the series.

It wasn't meant to 'go anywhere'. it was, as i'm sure you're aware, 'semi-autobiographical'. Things don't always have neat endings, they'er a bit frayed.

The ending isn't frayed it's non existant. The inability for a Meadows film to achieve a coherent narrative conclusion is well documented. And hey I spent the day today with the composer of the score of "Once a Time in the Midlands", so be sure to make this the focus point of all my opinions of all cinema.

Apparently the man has the diet of a 19 year old student.

As a story who's to say Meadows wanted it to go anywhere other than where it did?

It's not dramatically statisfying. My problem is it doesn't go anywhere. The young boy rejects the violence of the fair right thug, but this had already happened, earlier in the film.

But hey a lack of experience of the northern skin head scene in the 80s means I can't possibly understand the concept of the film.

I'll go chuck it, all my WW2 movies, vietnam war movies, a 40s private dick, or wall street investment banker, and hey while I'm at it, I've never organised a private ghostbusting team, joined the rebel alliance against the empire, or being Indy Jones.

You're a fucking moron .
