thick of it movie - "In the Loop"

[pennimania]

Can't wait!

I 'heart' Peter Capaldi.

I like the specials better than the series - have them on my Sky+ box and watch bits of them whenever I feel a bit fed up.

brilliant

'allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your parvue and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock'

classic Malcolm Tucker

 

[Jon-of-arc]

minor gripe, by why can't they call olly "Olly" instead of "Toby"?

Anyways, appetite officially wetted...

 

[Fledgling]

As long as Julius Nicholson is in it I'm sold.

Heh I know the guy that character was based on!

that's what I want to know - my Sky box is on the blink and I don't feel I can face life without a quick shot of the 'mimsy bastard Quisling leakfuck' -or words to that effect

You have rather a pained expression. Do you take it up the chutney?

Fab, I'll be seeing that. Watched the series on DVD while breastfeeding. I understand it's painfully accurate to those who've worked in government or the civil service.

It's painfully accurate for anyone who's dealt with Ministers, their advisors or government departments generally...

Fuck yes!

 

[stavros]

I want a giant Malcolm Tucker poster on the outside of my door with him saying "Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off."

campbell giving his view of it on BBC2 now

lol

 

[Kid_Eternity]

What did he say?

 

[_pH_]

wasn't really watching it....but i think he was quite cynical, trying to deny that Malcolm Tucker was based on him!

 

[agricola]

What did he say?

Probably the same as this article in the Guardian.

In short, its not based on him and its not funny anyway, and woe betide anyone who thinks it is. I especially like the obvious sock puppet in the comments on that article.

I saw the kulcha sho last night specifically to watch the Campbell review...he was chewing his face off for most of it, so I reckon it was reasonably close to the mark in intent, if not the actualité of the situations. I also suspect that I'll agree with Campbell and Kermode in the way they both said it loses it's way when it leaves London and goes to the UN bit...

 

[beeboo]

Very excited about this

Yeah I was wondering about that too...

 

[Crispy]

It'll still be good though eh?

But he did admit to saying 'Fuck the fuck off'.

 

[Balbi]

Fucking limited release! UNBELIEVABLE. I can't watch it in Npton, and have to wait to see it in Manchester a weekend from now. What a bunch of crap. Good British comedy gets shunted for Nicolas Cage and his fucking shitty haircut. Bellend!

New fucking clip available the fuck here:

I'm seeing it on Saturday. Armando Ianucci doing a Q&A on stage afterwards. Ritzy ftw!

 

[Crispy]

You bastard, they'd sold out by the time I found out about that

I've fucking already seen that fucking clip you fucking foetus. Now fuck the fuck off and find a clip I haven't fucking seen

Try hanging around for returns just before it starts. They often reserve too many seats for the liggers and have to offload one to the plebs at the last minute when there's too much chaos to give it to whoever deserves it. You just have to spot the manager, eavesdrop and pounce. I got one for the Tarantino Q&A that way - middle of row 3. Didn't even know it was on, just wandered in when I saw all the TV cameras and the velvet rope. Wound Quentin up very nicely with my question, which was the only one that didn't start with "You're a genius, your dialogue is the work of a genius, what's it like to be the best" etc.

I met him last night at work and he really is a lovely man. Not remotely starry - just very warm and friendly and normal.

What the sweet Jesusing fuck was the fucking question, then, you self-regarding smug Sassanach fuck-knuckle? Spit it the fuck out!
