The Film Thread

[Templeton Peck]

Big Train is truly amazing. The Ralph McTell sketch in particular is a work of genius.

Superb. Like a modern Monty Python. So many wonderful sketches - Shakespeare look a likes, wanking in the office, George Martin being kidnapped, kids writing puns...

Pegg was in Big Train which was world class.
Spaced was $#@!.
Shaun of the Dead is one of the greatest comedy films of all time.
Hot Fuzz was bang average.
So was Paul.
Not seen World's End.

Never seen Big Train, will have to give it a go.

Spaced was shit.

The George Martin sketch is incredible. As are the jockeys in the Serengeti, Satan playing practical jokes on Jesus, the guy with a spoon phobia and Ming the Merciless at home. Oh and I've forgotten the Evil Hypnotist.

Sam - if you haven't seen it, do it NOW.

I'm sorry but it was! It was a personal tragedy as Spaced was the series that was meant to be FOR people like me. The 'in' references were obvious and poorly executed and it looked the kind of thing you and your mates might think about doing in 6th form only to scrap it when you decide it might be a bit rubbish. Same applied to Hot Fuzz.

Have to agree re Spaced. Heard so much hype, watched it, regretted never being able to get that wasted half hour of my life back.

Watched the 2 series of Spaced recently. We liked them.

Also Shaun of the Dead is one of my fav films ever, and I like everything else I've ever seen Pegg or Frost in.

Scott Pilgrim is awesome too. Directed by Edgar Wright.

Blimey, non stop action ! Totally unbelievable storyline about the fall of The White House, but entertaining all the same with GB being the hero.

I wanted to like that film but just couldn't get into it.

Anyone interested in Studio Ghibli?

'The Place Beyond The Pines' Sort of a story within a story, within a story . Went on a bit too long, bit depressing, but enjoyed it overall. Would I ever watch it again, probably not .

Yes! Studio Ghibli is fantastic.

Watched Kick-Ass 2 yesterday and really enjoyed it - I genuinely thought it was better than the first installment actually. They've left it a bit up in the air regarding a 3rd too but hopefully they won't milk it too much.

I went to the cinema to watch this.

Absolute waste of time - went on for about 1 hour longer than it needed.
