ITT, lazy snarky zings about the new St Trinian's movie

Lying in bed in the morning after your girlfriend's got up & gone to work thinking about whether to have a wank or not, but thinking you might hold off if there's any chance your girlfriend'll be in

Still, Russel Brand as Flash Harry. Someone should stab George Cole to death just so he can turn in his grave. Also because of the late 90s sitcom "Dad".

"and then they all lezzed up"

"Promses, promises"

One for IMDB's "goofs" section here, as this photo appears to show a black person at a British boarding school

George Cole isn't dead?

Yeah, I had to Google to check that as well.

Well, you could just pretend Karl-Heinz Stockhausen was the original "Flash Harry" if you like!

Pimp C would have been a good Flash Harry

Somebody should write him a sitcom called "Dead" (xxp)

Wow, new episodes of Minder were still being made in 1994!

bits was probably good for a midnight wank

Dennis Waterman was replaced by some other geezer, yes?

The girl who plays the lead is remarkable.

Who she?

Tamsin Egerton.

This film is going to be worse than "carry on Columbus", not that I have any intention of verifying this, of course.

Americans don't know these films. Hayley Mills did one, right?

According to brief googling, she was in three of the first four.

I don't think it's possible to update the (v v funny) scenario presented in the '60's films & cartoons. They already tried remaking St Trinians in the '80's. It was fucking rubbish. This is depressing. When can we look forward to an "edgy" "reimagining" of "The Maggie" or "Passport to Pimlico", I wonder. Why do British films suck so much of the time.

I never found any of these films to be very funny

This would explain why there's a new youtube vid by Girls Aloud.

I never found any of these films to be very funny

I laffed loads at them I must admit. Then again I laffed loads at the terry-thomas films we got from the online rental place.

The remakes of course are just an excuse to get lots of nubile young women to run around in (non-regulation) school uniforms

I read the script and really enjoyed it. I reckon it'll be good. I suspect the grizzled fun-hating ILZingxors aren't the target audience.

Well the song sucks, I can tell you that.

I want this to be good, I like the 60s cartoons and films. I've just watched the trailer and it isn't all bad, Russell Brand isn't the worst Flash Harry there could be.

i saw the lead actress in loves labours lost at the globe this summer. phwoar etc.
slightly disappointed she's gone into britpop films.

Searle's St Trinians illustrations date from the 40s and 50s - he stopped drawing them by abt 1953, and started drawing Molesworth instead - but they still seem funnier and more lively than anything in this new disaster

WHICH YOU HAVEN'T SEEN

Check thread title Mark

Surely a missed casting opportunity for Flash Harry:

(insert rape gag)

(insert ball gag)

It's "School Disco: the Movie", isn't it, and every bit as bad as that sounds.

So does that mean all threads from now on that don't have "lazy snarky zings" in the title will be zing-free? Oh goody.

ITT, lazy snarky zings about the new St Trinian's movie and one guy whose mate was a runner on it

Aim a little higher, Dom.

aargh, "news" item on BBC London news, Russell Brand must die!

"an abundance of sexy costumes and girl power", according to the moronic "correspondent".

i hear the script is good

that's all i've heard!

if russell brand is going to drug rape the girl in the boater i'll definately go see it

it's sure to happen.

name me a single girl's school that employs the miniskirt (or hotpants) and knee-length stockings as uniform

Be fair mark, the form on remakes of classic old cult movies is pretty rotten so far. I mean take yr pick - "Wicker Man", "The Italian Job", "Get Carter" etc etc. There must have been at least one good one, but I can't think of one. And, I really like the old St Trinians films, but the premise of the films (little kids at a boarding school - a "genteel" establishment - are really pyromaniac terrors who en masse wd put the fear into hitler's ss) won't fly in the '00's, and the previous attempt at sexing it up "Wildcats of St Trinians" was embarrasing and creepy! Plus, a British cultural mailaise "things were better in the sixties, let's remake [60's cultural touchstone] seems to be embodied by this. If you say the script was good, I've got to believe you, but you can surely see how I'd look at this, and not fancy it much, and in fact wish they'd never made it at all.

I see we're well into zingtopia now, so I'll stop before I get tempted to start swinging the banhammer around a bit.

Actually, it's standard girl school uniform in Turkey!

no of course i haven't seen this turd but a few months ago I did see a BBC2 doc abt the financing/marketing of the movie and the few clips they showed were FUCKING DIRE (Rupert Everett 'impersonating' Camilla Parker-Bowles and REALLY pissing on Alistair Sim's grave = a particular low-light.) Also: from the ppl who brought us Alien Autopsy and I Want Candy

The remakes of course are just an excuse to get lots of nubile young women to run around in (non-regulation) school uniforms

The originals weren't?

the remake of 'the italian job' pisses on the v.o.

welcome aboard the good ship LBZC.

Oh, I wasn't touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror--of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision--he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath:

"`The horror! The horror!'

I blew the candle out and left the cabin.

Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world

and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
we're so anxious to be together
together in death

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living
this life ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

Baby join me in death

The Daily Mail thinks it's a documentary.

It's St Trinian's for the Heat generation," explains Gemma.

(aren't we?)

name me a single girl's school that employs the miniskirt (or hotpants) and knee-length stockings as uniform

..and what city it resides in, or town, and preferrably the road name.

Google "Turkish School Girl", I dare you.

it's not very good.

The script was good.

lol sike

astounded to hear this really

were i robin carmody i would comment that girls aloud's appearance at the end of this film marks the terminus of working-class resistance to bourgeois cultural norms in this country.

Results 1 - 4 of 4 for "best british film" of the 00s. (0.32 seconds)

lol at misha barton's career.

I just went to RC's Livejournal to see if he'd said a lil' something-something on St Trinian's, but instead he was talking shit about Wilson Phillips. So fuck him.

xxp

the fees were £4000, i think, per year, i think, which by today's standards, for a boarding school, is pretty good going.

it starts with a new girl going there, very reluctantly. everyone accepts her pretty much immediately. they're all very nice to each other.

why do they need the quiz as 'cover' for breaking into the national gallery. ridonk.

half a mil is pretty cheap for a famous vermeer.

Should I pick this up on DVD?

im sure you'd get something out of it.

No, Dom. Don't.

plasterer's radio?
