Glad you loved it! Agreed that it's a great satire that somehow avoids being offensive in its subject matter. I think that it makes you care about the characters rather than painting them as totally evil does help. And yes, calling everyone "bro" is a natural side effect of this film!Originally Posted by Still Servant
Did I enjoy it at all? I loved it. I thought it was so funny. So many quotable lines. It's one of those films that makes it really hard to recommend to people because it's so hard to make them understand that it's a satire. Once they understand that, it's then even harder to make them understand that the subject matter is funny without being offensive. At least to me anyway. Since watching Four Lions, I've been walking around calling everybody "bro" sometimes pronouncing it with a "v" at the end.
Lisa, as much as I loved '86 and '88 as much as the film, I agree with Jean. Watch LoM and join in the discussion asap!
Agreed with every word, Pond (as always). Both are shows I do need to get on either dvd or blu-ray asap. But it's more important for Lisa to watch Life on Mars, imo.I would absolutely recommend TiE '86 and '88. They can be a bit hard to watch at times, but are totally worth it. Both series are equally as good as the film.
