I randomly watched that years ago GT mate! Only realised last night that it's a Meadows one! ;D I don't think he had a great experience doing it. I'm guessing after the plaudits for 24/7 and A Room For Romeo Brass he was picked up to do a 'starrier' vehicle but I'm sure I read somewhere he had a bit of a 'mare and decided to go back to basics. That's good for us though because the first one he made after jumping off the fame bandwagon was 'Dead Man's Shoes' Absolutely

Saw this a while ago mate, it's a pretty strange combo isn't it? I thought there were parts which were unmistakably Shane Meadows but at other times it seemed like a Mike Leigh piece and at others just like a bog standard British working class comedy. I think 6.5 is pretty much spot on. Rhys Ifans and the young girl pretty much saved the film to be honest mate. And the two clowns they rob in Glasgow are Vic and Bob! I won't be hunting a copy down let's put it like that. Think I'll be watching 24/7 again tonight, cracking little film if a bit of a choker at the end.

Yeah there was an ad on Film 4 last night. Is it just a 'coming of age' type affair? I know it's got young Thomas Turgoose in it again.

Truth be told I haven't really read up on it as yet, maybe out of concern that no local cinema will bother to show it!

Theres a great place in Hemel I know that shows new and old classic films, it's also got a bar, plenty of leg room, and if you want you can sit at a table instead. It's quality, last time I was there was last year with my sis & my bro, we saw Apocolypse Now.

The Tyneside closed for a while so they took it on tour round the region showing films in appropriate venues!
They showed 'Withnail and I' in a pub, 'If' in a school and best of all 'Life of Brian' in a local church!

How about 'Calderwood's Labyrinth' - a dour Scottish manager with occasional baffling tactics has to complete 3 tasks by full moon at the behest of a mythical manbeast (who he meets in the South Bank bar) to get his team promoted!

'Raiders of the Lost Piggy Bank'?
A tale of how a seemingly financially stable club goes from rolling in it to shitting it.
