Escape to the Movies: Four Lions
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
Strangely enough, I saw about 10 minutes of this film months ago. I was at my local cinema and walked into the wrong screen, sat down and saw this. I thought it was a trailer at first but when it went on coherently for 10 minutes I realised I wasn't in the right place.
Yes, by the way, the characters are that stupid, even from the short amount of time I watched it, it was clear that this was the case.

Go away leftie, you're not welcome here.Jack and Calumon said:
And the Tories are Centre-Right, they're barely different to NuLabour apart from a slightly more liberal economic creed. And I've never heard of them peddling Fox Hunting re-legalization while the coalition has been about.
I saw this on DVD for rent where I work, it's been out here for a long while, I'm surprised this was the film you chose this week.
I've been putting off watching it because I'm not that big on comedy, but I suppose I'll give it a go.

The sketch of "The Meatsafe Murderer", "The Pedofinder General" and that one where the step dad has his son around and tries to impress him but fails miserably (and that one episode where that sketch goes severely dark) have always been my favourites.
I suspect you're also a fan of "The League Of Gentlemen" as well? If you are, what did you think of the movie?
I'm really suprised they got away with this film with almost no controversy, mainly because it's a british film and we don't complain like some of you Americans but it is a massively british film which I think people in the UK will find amazing but anyone from other countries will find it great but miss out on a lot of jokes and I mean a lot.
Well that's all I needed to hear. LOL Bob actually hooked me in the moment he mentioned a Comedy about terrorists....There is some SUPER SERIOUS LAUGHS waiting for me just by saying that.bahumat42 said:
I'm all for having right wing. There are some things I want to keep in this country and traditions to preserve which is what the right wing is about but last Sunday there was talks over a re-legislation of the lifting the fox hunting ban, which is totally not cool.CosmicCommander said:
I wouldn't call myself Left Wing, as I hate the people who want to change society and try to improve it as well but there are some things which need to be kept the same and some things that need to change. For example, Health and Safety taking away "Cheese Rolling" over how dangerous it could POTENTIALLY be is too much, but keeping Fox hunting with dogs is not cool either.
Also, you discriminate against Left Wing people? That's not nice. Then again, I wasn't expressing all my views right so we can call it even.
Finally, no more arguing, I was foolish to discuss politics outside of the Politics board which we could debate there.
Calumon: They all look to smart... why can't they look more fun!
Absolutely loved the movie, for me hands down top movie of the year.
I think it pushes the boundaries quite brilliantly, because it gets you to the very edge of the cliff where you get a perfect view of what comedy is all about.

sorry this is off topic, but the moment you mentioned Fox-hunting I immediately snapped to that awesome scene of Metal Gear Solid where Greyfox was fighting Metal Gear Rex!Liquid: "In the Middle East we don't hunt Foxes, we hunt Jackals and instead of Foxhounds we use Royal Harriers"
Gentlemen Time for the Hunt!
It only just came out in the UK... Silly slow release dates.fanklok said:
Did you watch the video? The Honey Monster is basically the mascot type thing for a breakfast cereal in the UK called Sugar Puffs. They're amazing!
Saw this last night actually, it is very good. There are quite a few British references, and you kinda need to know a fair bit about Britain to understand this fully.
Other than the obvious story about the terrorists, it also has a MASSIVE undertone about how the West (mostly Britain) are dealing with the issue of terrorism. From politicians to the police, it's the British equivalent of the South Park episode where they bury their heads in the sand, only instead of ignoring the issue, the politicians/police are over reacting and getting things wrong because they don't fully understand the REAL issue.
While it is a comedy, it's also an apt commentary of how things are, or have been going on in the UK. If you are American or any other nationality, you should watch it, but be prepared not to find it as funny as we might. If any of you watch it, which I recommend, make sure you watch the credits. You'll find out where that bazooka missile went...

Because they chase the fox with a pack of dogs for fecking ages and then don't eat it or anything worthwhile.JaredXE said:
Just terrorizing the animal and killing it as a group instead of hunting for food or any other reason than just to scare and kill it.
