By the way, I’ve seen this film twice already – once on a plane, and also at an earlier screening. I strongly recommend it.

I’ve learned a lot of excellent new swear phrases from chief spin doctor Malcolm Tucker (I apologise for any offence to anyone who I’ve recently informed that I’m tickety fuckety boo).

If you want to see it, you’ll have to move fast – we’ve had about 30 places go since we posted this piece about 15 minutes ago.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Fabulous movie. Contains one of my all time favourite lines –

“Y’know, I’ve come across a lot of psychos, but none as fucking boring as you. You are a real boring fuck. Sorry, sorry, I know you disapprove of swearing so I’ll sort that out. You are a boring F, star, star, CUNT!”

it is quite brilliant – as good as biting satire ever gets. Plus I absolutely LOVE swearing and I reckon I’m pretty good at it. But these guys taught me a thing or two about creative swearing (as Steve details above). I picked up some amazing ideas for combining swearwords to make powerful swear phrases.
I can’t wait until my next visit from the in-laws.
