He does love that "Ooorrrrrenge sherrrrrberrrrt". Bizarrely that's not in the American version of the film, along with a couple of other really good bits for some reason. UK version is the way to go for Austin Powers 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Sorry We Missed You.  Ken Loach likes to have non actors in his films to give it realism and all that but it really shows in this and is to the films detriment. It’s still worth your time and all that but the delivery (oh ho!) of a lot of the dialogue is jarring and takes you out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait! There's no r in the proper UK spelling?!?! I always assumed the orange sherbrt they were on about in Austin Powers was the sugary stuff? I suppose that's why it never stood out to me as strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 21, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2020 Enough of sherbe(r)t for the insane. The Platform New Netflix Original, and another film inspired by Snowpiercer. No, it's not as good but it's pretty good until the last 15 minutes, which made almost no sense. Definitely one to watch with the kids. Dirty Harry Relieved I watched this again, I'd forgotten at least two lines of dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to drag it back to this, but sorbet and sherbet are from the same linguistic root. Was originally a drink in the Middle East ("sharba" means "to drink" in Arabic). IIRC the sweet we call sherbet, the powder, was originally meant to be added to water to make this drink (I once did this with a Dib Dab someone gave me as I hate liquorice, and it fizzed up and made a kind of lemonade). Apologies to Devon. Please continue. Edited March 22, 2020 by Carbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the rest of it though? The rest of it? Todd Philips makes a tribute to Taxi Drive and people think it’s the 2nd coming because it’s classed as a comic book movie. When really it’s just bang average with some really shitty shoehorning of the Batman universe in it. But it’s from the director of The Hangover so it shows he’s got range or something. yeah, I didn’t rate it other then Zazie Beats  and Joaquin’s performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
