Things in films I just don't get

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

I never understood Popeye not a film I know but the fact that he took spinach to make himself strong yet he's able to crush a tin of the stuff with his bare hands before he's eaten it?!?

Someone get the 'are you a wizard' meme quick :-)

Never thought of that one tbh, good spot.

And what about Mickey Mouse?

He's mouse and he talks? And he wears clothes?

I'm sorry but that pushes the bounds of credibility.

Don't forget Donald Duck, wears a top and a hat but no pants?!?!

Whenever anything is shot in Manchester you always have Blue references never rag.

If I had a pound every time I'd seen someone walking over that bridge in Castlefield on film, I'd have at least 30 quid by now. What's so special about that shit bridge anyway?

Also the kid who was murdered in Broadchurch ( fictional south coast sea side town) had a City poster on his wall. That wouldn't have happened five years ago.

Not sure I approve either.

Presumably he is still pissed from the night before.

He certainly talks like he'e been overdoing the juice.

It's absolute bollocks. I mean from who's perspective ? Do they have a fucking compass how do they know what fucking direction is it ?

I'd be saying


" what the fuck. Where's south? Is it my south or your south? How do you know which way I'm looking ?



Rant over

That's why you aren't a cop, or a secret agent, or any other job requiring a sense of direction and/or the ability to articulate it.

To answer the question you pose, it is just fucking South ;)

Independance day.

'Its the americans, what are they going to do?'.
Good film but I struggle with it because of that line. Just fook off you pricks!

Ah yes!!
love that film
makes me cringe when that scene comes up though

And THAT speech by the President;

'' Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!''

Sweet jesus!

Fucking hell JH
Just spat my coffee
can't believe I hadn't noticed the gayness of that speech.

Some of our lads (Army blokes) were on an exchange exercise in Texas when that film came out. They went to see it and just couldn't believe the antics of the locals. When the president got in his plane, they were jumping up and down, whoopin' and a hollerin', and shouting 'Go on Mr President'. They actually said it was more entertaining watching the reaction of the audience throughout the film.

For the life of me I can't fathom the idea of what it would be like to have such enthusiasm for a fucking politician... Never mind an actor playing one!
