Title: The Trip
Post by: not that clay on June 27, 2011, 01:59:47 AM
Let's talk about The Trip (Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon)!

I give it two thumbs up and a gold star. It's like a British Entourage. Less sex and more food.

I loved it as a film, didn't see the six hour version. I cannot figure out why US critics are so lukewarm on it.

It was six half hours I think, I seen it on Youtube before they blocked it, I'm surprised they turned it into a movie as it worked so well as a series with one restaurant per show.

I found it extremely charming and well-made throughout. I do liken it to Old Joy a bit as far a the simplistic style and the ending. But I also love Old Joy.

BTW there were MANY hysterical moments.

Coogan keeps getting better with age, the new Alan Partridge Shows were hilarious also.

MEN, TO BED, FOR TOMORROW WE GET UP AT 10:30ISH!

I've yet to see the BBC 6 episode version.

And if you like The Trip, check out "Tristam Shandy": Steve, Rob and director Winterbottom's first movie together.

Come, come, Mr. Bond. You derive just as much pleasure from killing as I do.

Does anybody know which Michael Caine movie or movies where "SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN! YOU WERE ONLY SUPOSSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF!" comes from?  I just watched "The Trip" again over the weekend and I have that running through my head on a loop and YOU WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF AND his voice gets low and very emotional, very emotional indeed.

SLEEP MY BROTHER. SLEEP MY SISTER. BUT DON'T SLEEP WITH MY SISTER!

The original version of "The Italian Job."

Yes, "YOU WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF" is from The Italian Job but "SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN [really FIFTEEN] YEARS OLD" is from Get Carter.

The "doors" line is from the Italian Job.

I think the "sixteen" line is from Harry Browne, though I haven't confirmed. 

Check out some of the scenes cut from the series to make the movie.

The Richard Gere, Ray Winstone, and Liam Neeson impression scenes are all stupendous.

I recently became aware of this episode of MacGyver (Season 1, episode 3) in which the majority of the show is simply the chase scene from The Italian Job. Available on Netflix instant here: http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70110787&trkid=3325854&t=MacGyver%3A+Ssn+1%3A+Thief+of+Budapest (http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70110787&trkid=3325854&t=MacGyver%3A+Ssn+1%3A+Thief+of+Budapest)

Also - this was in the 3rd episode! Pretty quick to start mailing it in.

Next question. In which Bond film do we hear a villain say, "Come come, Mr. Bond. We both know you take as much pleasure in killing as I do."

This is what googles told me:

    Francisco Scaramanga: You get as much pleasure out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?
    James Bond: I admit killing you would be a pleasure.
    Francisco Scaramanga: Then you should have done that when you first saw me. On the other hand, the English don't consider it sporting to kill in cold blood, do they?
    James Bond: Don't count on that.

Francisco Scaramanga is played by Christopher Lee in "The Man with the Golden Gun"

And when I seach on google, I search on google for Queen and Country
