Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 13, 2011 Moderators Posted October 13, 2011 UK hip hop has a lot of the same problems.
King Pitcos Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Gritty British films are so over-done now. In the 2 years in Media at Uni I did, there was never one upbeat, fun and quirky British film. It was all council gangs and people struggling against illness, or teenage prostitution. No wonder they stopped funding for it, it was all grim shit. It's a bit of a vicious cycle. The British film industry is really just an arts charity, which is why that sort of stuff gets made a lot. Nothing ever makes money, so nothing can cost money. Kitchen sink drama is pretty cheap to make and ticks the arts audience boxes.

Re: Romeo Brass - when that bloke (I don't recall the circumstances, I saw that forever ago) gets stomped, that's outside the chippy where we used to sneak off to for battered sausage at lunchtime, then go play tumblepop in the video shop.
big mickey Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah seems like there are too many urban britflicks out there. Even a funny one like anuvahood had a darkish edge to it. It's sad cos we rule at comedy & such
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted October 13, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 13, 2011 Last year we had both Four Lions and The Infidel. Both British comedies.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 13, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 13, 2011 British film is very derivative on the whole. After Trainspotting we got a load of drug-heavy and 'raver' comedy dramas. After Lock Stock we got a load of gangster films. Now, post-This Is England we're getting a load of grim council estate stuff. It's just a case of waiting to see what the next cycle will be.
EdgarTheSlouch Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Just finished Wild Zero - its a pretty sweet Rock N Roll zombie film- think Idle Hands. (Also has added benefit called The Pleasure Puckers on the soundtrack)

Please let it be seaside postcard comedy. Doctor at Large was on the other day. Majestic.

Majestic. The Doctor In The House series is criminally underrated. They are hilarious. "What's the bleeding time?" "10 past 10."
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 13, 2011 Moderators Posted October 13, 2011 One day I'll be successful and have the clout to reboot the Carry Ons.
big mickey Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 One day I'll be successful and have the clout to reboot the Carry Ons. After Carry On Columbus I don't think we should risk it.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 13, 2011 Moderators Posted October 13, 2011 One day I'll be successful and have the clout to reboot the Carry Ons. Me and a pal came up with "Carry on Screwing" about some randy Joiners, but you've got to to give the people hard cocks which you can see going into fannies these days with a full semen filled climax. They won't except Babs wearing tassles on her nips or covering them with her hands. Anyway, if *they* (whoever they are) rebooted the Carry On... series these days it'd have Russell fucking Brand in it. You just know it would.
King Pitcos Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Russell Brand's well above Carry On level. It'd be the likes of Corden.
insert_name_here Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I remember reading a rumor a while ago that Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins were set to star in a Carry On reboot called Carry On Bananas
