Chris Morris's "Four Lions" looks fantastic!

With respect, your comment astounRAB me. How can you take that view without having seen the whole film?

Thinking like that is half the reason Chris Morris made the film in the first place.

I watched it in the early hours of this morning & thought that it was hilarious.

...and the inevitable backlash begins.

Clip here. I'd never even heard of it, but the clip has had me absolutely screaming! If like me you've never heard of it, I've no doubt you will soon, as it follows the adventures of a group of wannabe suicide bombers (from my lovely Sheffield, no less) planning a mission to London.

It sounRAB utterly tasteless, and is bound to get the Daily Mail lot riled, but I'll bet it proves to be a guilty pleasure for film fans, and on the evidence of the clip, has a true Morris wicked sense of humour.

Rubber dinghy rapiRAB, bro, rubber dinghy rapiRAB.

Plan to see this on saturday

 

[J-ho]

Did you ever watch Allo Allo?
Funny as F**k.

 

[♥Hailey♥]

I'm looking forward to this, this is bound to be a cracker.

They reminded my of the useless Terrorists featured in BBC's Monkey Dust

It's a great film.

I thought the bit at the hospital was heartbreaking.

Early review:

I had high expectations of it after the trailer and various things I'd read about it, which it didn't quite live up to...but it was still a good film and funny throughout. I wouldn't call it slapstick though

Chris Morris makes controversial film?!! Shock horror

Thing to remember about this film is that it's not a documentary. It's a comedy about a bunch of inept terrorists. It's not supposed to be taken seriously on any level. It's very, very silly and doesn't exactly glamorise the actions of the film's protagonists. If you like dark humour see it. If you don't, then don't. Simples.

Nice review here.

My local Cineworld is not showing it as per usual.....

 

[vballchick14]

Went to Thorpe Park last week, just couldn't stop quoting that line all day! (rubbish rapiRAB at TP compared to Alton Towers BTW).

Tremendous film, absolutely loved it.

And Hogan's Heroes in the US. You hit the nail on the head there.

Can't wait. Apparently it was originally going to be a channel 4 project, but after the Danish cartoon scandal, they panicked and pulled out so he had to go it alone.

Morris is a genius. Whats funny is when he satirizes hot button sensationalist issues and there's a media storm over his programmes......they only re-inforce his original point.

 

[CRX91]

I might have to look into this on account of Chris Morris being a legend.

 

[Masaki]

Yeah, Morris IS a genius. I never thought this would happen. This has made my year already.

 

[Triscuit]

Just watched it tonight and it is hilarious.
1) It is BLACK COMEDY - If you dont like it or dont know what it is, DONT watch it.
2) If you dont like JIMMY CARR or RICKY GERVAIS, DONT watch it.
3) If you think serial killers just need a hug, DONT watch it.
4) If you are an oversensitive, do gooding tree hugger.....DONT WATCH IT!
Clear enough?
