Has it's moments, there's some funny ideas but the execution is very underwelming and disappointing. This is a very un-subtle and obvious satire. Some of the gags are pretty funny, I liked how every character was named after a food product. But yeah, this is something that probably sounded a lot funnier when written on paper. Tis' a shame, I expected more from Mike Judge.

Judge did this same kind of satire with Beavis and Butthead much much more successfully.

I enjoyed the movie, but I do agree it was lacking in the execution. But it still got many laughs out of me, it had so many great ideas.

I also just saw Watchmen today. It was was one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Cheesy goodness in the form of a bad slasher film.

I love the fact that a person named Fish and a person named Bass both star in this movie.

YES. Just YES. Props on the Ealing comedies and I absolutely love Brighton Rock, Brief Encounter, all that stuff... You watch those movies people actually didn't speak the same, it's amazing. 'Queen's English' ftw
new wave... have you seen Billy Liar? if you haven't that has to be right at the top of your list, you'd lav it. There's too many to mention really. I am a slave to kitchen sink dramas of the 60's

Hollywood has absolutely slaughtered a couple recently - Ladykillers, Alfie. Why?!

Yeah, I didn't really take to Brighton rock (Attenborough was just a little over the top for my taste) but Brief encounter I absolutely loved. Celia Johnson is an incredible actress, I got goosebumps during her monologue in In which we serve...

I'm actually going through the BFI top 100 list so Billy liar was gonna be on there but I'll push it up the queue...;)

Further suggestions are welcome, while I'm still on the Brit trip...

Saw Watchmen yesterday.
I loved it.
My girlfriend hated it.

Insanely brave and important film for gay rights (made while homosexuality was still illegal in Britain). Props to all involved, especially Bogarde... 8/10

I think I mentioned it in the post before that....;)

Watchmen. 'Twas a blast.

Sorry :( One of my 'can't be bothered to trawl through every post' days.

Watch Ladybird Ladybird and prepare for the unflinching raw power of a brilliant movie.
