In The Loop Looks In The Great
In the Loop trailer, you guys:
They showed this trailer ahead of Bruno when I saw it in Seattle (jealous?) last weekend, and it looks really good. It's like Dr. Strangelove meets The Queen meets James Gandolfini.
Q: Would this trailer be as compelling if it did not have James Gandolfini in it?
A: No.
But he is in it, so that question is pointless. Anyway, it's been awhile since we've had a good "I've been to college and know about stuff" comedy. They seem to only make those about divorce and dinner parties lately (always?) and they're the worst. More light-hearted explorations of war please.

this film is the best. as opposed to being the worst. totally at the other end of the spectrum.
Score = 2
for anybody in the chicago area, the AV club is doing an advanced screening with David Rasche on july 22nd. They've got free tickets if you email them and ask politely.
Score = 2
MY GIRL is in it! is this the triumphant return of a grown up Anna Chumsky?
Score = 8
Also, isn't that the same sped up music from A Clockwork Orange?
That was the best cast introduction since The Ten trailer.

Saw it when I was in Ol' Blighty. Surprisingly good, especially since I went in thinking it would be S star star T.
Score = 3
Looks really good. Check out the TV show this comes from, "The Thick of It".
Score = 6
This movie live by the 3 Rules [1) They Not Ready. 2) Motherfuckers Need Ta Know 3) Get Your Shit. ] I got maple syrup on this movie.
Score = 15
These kinds of jokes only seem to work with British accents.
Score = 16
You had me at flammable cheese.

Lubricated horse cock.
Why is cock continually censored in america?
Score = 1
MALCOLM TUCKER!!!!!!!!!! "He'll fuck you harder than Ron Jeremy and with less warmth."
Oh man, I can't wait til september for this-- I swear I will fucking cross La Manche just for 106 new minutes of Malcolm Tucker (not to mention Vada Sultenfuss all grown!!).

I, for one, certainly have no clue where Gandolfini's balls have been.
Score = 1
If you do a little peeking around you'll find that there's already a torrent for In The Loop. I've seen it and I thought it was OK but it's nowhere near as good as Rotten Tomatoes is making it out to be....

one of the funniest movies i've seen in a REALLY long time. clearly you have no sense of humour.
Score = 0
Maybe one of the funniest British movies but it's got fuck all competition over there doesn't it.
Score = -8
I saw it too, the stuff where they go to America (the stuff with Gandolfini in it) is not half as funny as the stuff back in Britain.
It's Capaldi's show, not his.
Score = 4
Agreed - Peter Capaldi steals every scene he's in. Also: while this film was good in the theater, I will definitely benefit from a second DVD screening with subtitles. Goddamn Brits need to learn to speak American.
Score = 13

Isn't that always the case?

He approved it.

Holy Shit. Gabe was in Seattle? I missed my one chance to get him to come over and watch bad TV with me. My fantasies are lame.
Score = 11
i find it funny that it has the tag 'england' when the main actor is scottish. that is all :)
Score = -4
Vada Sultenfuss is now old enough to do it.
Nice.
Score = 0
Where did this come from? It looks amazing.
Score = 1
I'm really surprised this got a trailer spot before a bruno screening in the US. The plot of this movie is largely satirizing the Blair government's spin and PR bullying culture and all the pathetic shortcomings of the British political system as we went to war in Iraq.
Sure, it's got a funny Scottish guy making threats about a lubricated horse cock but basically, it has so many in-jokes about British politics and I just wouldn't expect this movie to translate to American audiences?
Score = 3
