Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This is purposely a parody of Cockernee gangster films, isn't it?

Yup ... & brilliant for it.

Ah, merci. Magnifique.

Tonight - thanks to LF - El Bano del Papa - the Pope's Toilet. Uruguayan, Spanish lang, subtitles.

Great premise, based on a true event... The Pope is due to visit a poverty stricken Uruguayan town, on its border with Brazil, with a population of about 20,000. (1988 - JP II). Rumours abound that hundreds of thousands will visit the town, including thousands from Brazil, and the town goes crazy attempting to find ways of making a little money from the event... (in fact over 380 stalls were officially licensed).

Our protagonist decides to build a public toilet in his front 'garden' where he will charge 40 pesos for 'half service' and 80 pesos for 'full service' and thus raise the money for his daughter to go to Montevideo for the course in journalism she's set her heart upon.

It's a great premise. Can't say any more without spoilers, but this is a fine, albeit slowly paced film, and we were really pleased to see it.

It's is not a parody, it's just a run of the mill Cockernee gangster film.

It's one of them films I watched a lot in my late teens so have an affection for it, but pretty sure I'd be irritated by it if I watched it for the first time tonight.

It's a grossly & deliberately exaggerated example of the gangster chic film type. Almost a melodrama of the genre.

I'd view that as a parody.

Maybe my definition's wrong.

It's f*cking Guy Ritchie ffs. I think you may be giving him somewhat more credit than he deserves. Presumably Danny Dyer is a carefully constructed character, a parody of a parody as it were?

Ah .... my bad.

If it's Guy Ritchie it's obviously a failed attempt to be serious.

[General Mannerheim]

Well I still like it... and Snatch, and I didn't mind RocknRolla either tbh.

sssssshhhhhh !!!

Not intellectual enough.

[General Mannerheim]

Well I just watched 'Cockneys V's Zombies' makes Guy Ritchies films look like El Bano del Papa!

Still, didn't mind that either tbh...

[Prufrock]

I thought Lock Stock was shit. I enjoyed Snatch. Not a problem with those sort of films, but to describe them as clever parodies is seriously overestimating them! Guy Ritchie is a simple, brash bloke who makes simple, brash films. Simple and brash are sometimes what you want.

Crock of shite if you ask me.

Your bad what?? Grammar, undoubtedly but what else? You sir, should be taken outside to face two smoking barrels for even uttering that phrase. Innit.

[Lord Kangana]

Lock, Stock and Snatch are the same film, with the same characters, same plot, same stupid f*cking nawty speak, same....

What can you possibly like about one that you don't like in the other Pru?

Anyway, my favorite cockernee laavverly knees up is...

I've got to agree with Pru...I prefer Snatch to Lock Stock.
