Having a young kid there is loads of kids TV on in my house in the mornings. Ben and Holly is actually alright with a few hidden jokes for adults. Doc Brown (rapper comedian guy) has also made a kids program about a Bear, called bear or something like that. I haven’t seen it but might be ok. He was interviewed and said he was sick of all the Kids TV programs having hidden morals and being all goody two shoes “and the hero learnt never to be selfish again” so he made something were the main character was bad.
Shame about the name and bear’s being shit and that.
Was going to mention it myself. It’s a U. A fucking U. Fields of blood, rabbits being buried alive, poisoning, a swearing seagull, death, pestilence and a fight to the death between a dog and horse sized rabbit.
Highly recommend. Funny in places, a little scary but a good yarn.
Having watched Castaway a few weeks ago kid Goat pointed out the comparison by saying: “I suppose he’s going to grow a big beard now”, which he did.
A bit of effing and jeffing but pretty good family film and as kg is now brave enough to watch Insidious, I thought she’d be able to cope with a few f’s.
Just been to see ‘Zootropolis’ with mini Abandon - aged 11. She loved it, I thought is was actually great and a bit fuck you to Trump and his ilk… How so? Well great message in there about equality, tolerance and all that is wrong with mistrust and ignorance. Good fun yarn as well.
Watership Down was, I believe, on TV on Easter Sunday and the mumsnet types are up in arms that their poor little Penelope’s and Toby’s have been “damaged” by the violence and trauma shown.
Didn’t the dumb cunts know? Everyone knows it’s basically the darkest of dark horror movies FFS.
TBH, not sure what part of ‘allegory’ those mumsnet types complaining do not understand… Adams’ book was never meant as a fluffy bunny tale for the kids…
So, on Friday Lewis had a rather stupid day/night/morning celebrating becoming more of an old git (late 20s now guys, get the violins out for me!).
I spent the rest of Saturday sulking, feeling very sorry for myself, contemplating whether I would ever feel normal again.
Girl & I decided the cure for this would be takeaway and a ‘light’ film. Sky have got Inside Out on catch up, so thought we’d give that a go.
I was not mentally prepared for that film whilst in such a fragile state. That said, hats off to the Pixar folk, again. Such a brilliantly put together film. A really great concept, and as is often the case with Pixar, the film tackles some pretty heavy issues in a really elegant way that gets the point across without being at all patronising.
So many clever little touches, personally thought the ‘train of thought’ was one such example of genius.
Do u want to swap girlfriends tho? Mine is becoming a Problem. She made me go & watch Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 with her on Sunday & it was fkn terrible. It was so bad, I was almost envious of the cunts watching Batman vs Superman RIP
I am a bit cautious about this film. I sa the first one and loved it as I have Greek family and I can hear my gran saying half of what was said in that film. The follow up tv series was just full of the same regurgitated jokes and was really tiresome (a bit like the later series of Allo Allo)
I really want it to be good but suspect it will be gash
It was v.bad CB. Even bird thought it was Bad, and she watches all kind of shit. There was actually a couple of quite funny jokes I thought, but there was no plot to speak of, or anything like that. It was v.tiresome + boring. I would deffo go watch it if I was you.
Whenever anyone mentions Castaway I think of the film with Oliver Reed and that bird who spent a lot of the film stark bollock naked - Amanda Donohoe I think. I was so impressed with the film that I read the book written by the original bird who went on the trip. I am thinking the Tom Hanks film was v.different?
Is great - especially my 11 year old loves it! … would recommend ‘zootropolis’ aswell - despite more disney, teh whole pixar alliance has rubbed off an it tckles prejudice in a clever way.
PS. by ‘not mentally prepared’- did you get something in your eye? I did…
