fucking deserved
“facts” I choose not to believe:
– this has a letterboxd rating of just 3.6
– titanic beat this for best picture (?!?!)
– the scene where hot stuff plays at the job centre isn’t acknowledged worldwide as the best scene cinema has ever given us
let suicidal man and guy with the big dick be gay 👏 glad that tiny hoop earrings are making a comeback
He's fat, you're thin, and you're both fucking ugly.
-Gerald
The gang in Magic Mike don't have anything on Gaz and the gang. All Channing Tatum and his guys have are bulging muscles and sex appeal while these boys are unemployed, obese, impotent, old, depressed and suicidal. There's even a ginger in there for good measure. It's not even a contest.
I've always been told this movie was good, but I'm not quite sure why I never got around to watching it before. It finds humor in the face of hardship and I'm a sucker for that kind of comedy. The cast is damn fantastic too with Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson easily being the standouts.
It tackles all these serious issues with an end game solution that is both ridiculous and perfect.
do you understand how important this film is it literally tackles so many issues – ageism, body-shaming, insecurity in men, money struggles, child custody, suicide, loneliness, being working-class, lack of trust in a marriage, divorce, unemployment, losing a loved one... and it’s uplifting as fuck !!
Why did British men in the 90s wear that slutty little hoop earring and how do we bring it back
