FOT message board EXCLUSIVE:

Meet the future King Alan I



PS: This is good to hear-

"The characters, storyline and backdrop are resolutely British, with the film self-consciously making no concessions to ‘open up’ to American or international audiences"

Me and a chum will be driving, shoeless and all toberleroned up to Dundee to watch tonight.

Cannae wait.

Actually, we won't be driving, shoeless or in Dundee.

We will walk, down to our local cinema fully shod.  I might have a Toblerone though.

I'll let you know tomorrow what it was like.

The film, not the Toblerone - they're pretty bog-standard.
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box'.  I just wish that once in a while you'd have a rummage around inside it.

Finally got to see it last night and enjoyed it thoroughly.  I've heard a couple of moans but the film stands on it's own instead of other tv-to-cinema leaps where you just wind up with three episodes bolted together (I'm looking at you Simpsons Movie).

It has more of a Mid-Morning Matters feel to it but that's where Alan is now isn't he?

A good atmos in the cinema where the audience was 99% men my age (I'm not mid forties! I'm 42 you cheeky sod) and the laughter went round the room a good few times.

A good night out.  I also think it'll be a good film to watch again when it comes out on Doovde. 

Good appearances from Dave Clifton and Michael the Geordie too.

Yes, all in all good.

Pretty wound up today aren't you, Josh?

Feelin' good, brother. You?
Currently. Worn out. Thanks for asking.
Best of luck. Just getting over strep throat and very busy with work, the little one, and a pregnant wife. Enjoying the respite provided by the FOT Forum.

You all are having another baby? Congrats!

Thanks, Steve. We've got a due date of Feb. 11 but expect it to come earlier since the last one was about 4 weeks early.

Striker!  Thanks for the info.  I heard "Jet" come on the radio today and it reminded me of Alan.
