Too bad World's End was fucking garbage and retroactively ruined it and Hot Fuzz

>>71845435
It's because they can't hear any of the film over their clapping and tipping.
>>
>>71845757
I only agree a bit. World's End had some really good stuff in it, like the whole part about King being stuck in his younger years, but I felt like it would have been better as a comedy drama about that than what it actually was. Fuck I hated the ending so much.

A lot of Shane Meadows' work probably doesn't land outside of England with maybe the exception of Dead Man's Shoes as its a more standard revenge thriller.

My pick would be Withnail And I

That's not the funny part of the movie. At least, that's not the real comedy of it.
>>
>>71845596
There are certain British idiosyncrasies that are very small and irrelevant to the plot but have a cumulative bearing on the whole tone.
I love the Blues Brothers, I *really* love that movie, but not being American I always get the feeling I'm missing something slightly deeper as it's not part of my psyche.

Every club is different, but in the Asylum it's the manager. He has a string of homeboys dealing the pucker Es to the party people in the club. He makes the most coin out of this enterprise. His homies will make just a couple of quid on each pucker. His homies are also scoping for other dealers on the block. Where the homies have an illegitimate pucker E dealer in their website they tell the bouncers. The bouncers grip him, nab his stash and kick him out with a physical warning. They give the pucker Es to their homies and they sell it on to the kids in the club. What's your name? What have you had? Reach for the lazers. Safe as fuck.

England is a terrible place full of terrible people. Thankfully they are isolated on their island away from actual human beings on the continent. Hopefully now that they left EU there will be a big embargo and they will all starve to death like the obese cuckolds they are. You haven't truly until an invasion of short, fat bong manlets invades your land for a football tournament then "hooligan" ruins everything they touch like ignorant rosbif lard asses they are.

I hope God let England gets nuked soon.
