This Is England '86

[WaltonRed]

not only that Lurtz, then have the audacity to have a go because they dont know the back story which is the film itself!

Dead man's shoes starting now at 11 on film4. Another brilliant piece of work by Meadows.

[RED.DUB]

Loved it,cant wait till next week to see the next one,one of those moments when the music kicks in at the beginning you just know this is gonna be good.

 

in fact if there was a place to find the music of the series that would be brilliant,knew some of the songs,others i didnt.

[RED.DUB]

meadows is a genius.

[Wor Horse]

What the fuck are you looking at?

YOU, YOU CUNT.

Thought it was hilarious when Richard went to there houses in the middle of the night and did this to them also with the "elephant" bit

 

 

 

[Sparky]

"The lads have this ridiculous idea that..."

"Yeah it was me."

[Wor Horse]

I told him not to mention the elephant, what's he fucking mentioning the elephant for?

[col06]

The bit in one of there flats about the porn magazines was funny too

 

I would if I had a shower; know what I mean?

[Wor Horse]

Fancy a titfuck? No thanks.

Seen Milky from This is England in the credits but couldnt remember seeing him. Bit of digging tells me he was meant for a bigger roll but it ended up being cut so you only see him in the funeral scene.

 

Went through it about 3 times on Sky plus trying to find him until I Googled it. Ah my exciting life.

[Vincent Vega]

The scene in Dead Man's Shoes where Richard tells Sonny he has them in the palm of his hands is one of my favourite film scenes of all time, you can smell Sonny's fear as he gets back in the car.

This is England is a great film, and indeed affects me more with each viewing, but Dead Man's Shoes is Meadows' masterpiece for me.

 

On the subject of the tv show, given the cast and writer I will of course stick with it to the end, but I was largely disappointed. Thought it veered towards Skins territory at times. Fucking great to hear the Lee Dorsey tune at the start though; one of my favourite funk tunes of all time.

These two scenes from Dead Man's Shoes are two of my favourite ever movie scenes:

YouTube - Dead Man's Shoes - Alternate Ending [HQ]

 

Alternate ending for dead man's shoes. Went with the right one for me.

[Johnni]

I can't believe anyone would watch this without seeing the original film first. It just wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.

 

It does my head in this. It's like people watching a show from the 2nd or 3 rd series onwards and saying they don't understand whats going on.

He'll be the black dude then. Good work NWT

The second part is on in 15 minutes.

[Lurtz]

"Gadget" gets on my tits. Not in keeping with the original type of character in the film. Someone on here mentioned Shameless. That's where a character like him belongs.

[Furmedge]

An excellent episode tonight in my opinion. Story really starting to take shape.

[Cardie]

Except that's what he was like in the fim, he was just younger.

[Lurtz]

I don't really recall him much to be honest except for the part where they first met Shaun. His character's getting a lot more airing in this series, not sure why though.

 

Apart from that, really enjoying it although I will be waiting for the dvd to be released in film form with no poxy adverts.

[WaltonRed]

I think its boss still.

 

I'm not suprised Lol went to Milky but i cant help feeling sorry for Woods as he knows nothing of her abuse.

 

I thought Mick must of been an abuser in it. I reckon he's going to get it once Combo comes back looking for revenge.

 

That bit with Lol in the BMW at the end, you didnt see who she was fucking did we?

[Woo]

Looked like it was Milky in the car at the end, Mick.

 

Agree with the rest of it.

[RobbieOR]

It was Milky in the car.

 

Is Combo coming back into it?
