So the Brits can rehash $#it more creatively and effectively than we can in a more entertaining way?
Go figure...

Can't wait to see this. It's sitting pretty on Rotten Tomatoes right now.

It was a lot of fun.
But I think it would have been a better film if it had focused on the characters and never gotten into robot/body snatcher territory. They had a great, compelling comedic story going...and they ****ed it all up with some robots. It was still a fun film after that, but nowhere near as compelling and poignant. |

If it didn't go completely off the wall, the whole theme of the movie would have been about the King's problems. A master manipulator, alcoholic druggie who will lie and steal from anyone or do basically anything to get a fix. That wouldn't have had quite the appeal to me...with the "blanks" added to the story all the guys had to work together and it took the focus off the depressing life of Gary and turned it back into a fun time. When they finally decided to keep on with the pub crawl, and they all walked in a straight line with no emotion, looking straight ahead to the next pub, that was classic. Either way, I laughed my ass off harder than any movie I've ever seen in a movie theater, and there were 20 people there for the late show. I wonder if it was so high on rotten tomatoes because only the hardcore SoTD fans came out to see it. |

2.) getting rid of the Blanks plot would have allowed the other guys to be more fully realized characters. We never get a real sense of what makes O-Man tick. Peter could have gotten revenge on the bully in a purely human way. The film could actually have done something with the Gary-and-Steven-have-always-been-competitive storyline. Etc. |

Casino has a real Goodfellas vibe to it, too.

That is definitely true, the blanks just offered an escape from it I guess. How was the atmosphere where you saw it? I couldn't believe there were only like 20 people in the theater, but everyone seemed to like it a lot.
