The Boat That Rocked. - General

Well yesterday me and my friends went to see The Boat That Rocked, and I thought it was the most amazing film I had ever seen. [img]http://www.impawards.com/2009/posters/boat_that_rocked_ver6.jpg[/img] The film came out on the 1st of April 09. (So yeah we are a bit late watching it but oh well.) It was written and produced by Richard Curtis. The film is based around pirate radio stations such as [I]Radio Rock[/I](the pirate radio station the film is based around) and their dreams and work towards the radio stations we had today. They were standing up to a government who disliked pop and rock and preffered jazz. The government would do anything to shut them down. In a way it is so much more than what I have said here but a- I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it and b- I can't really put it into words. Fave Quote: Minister Dormandy: [referring to Radio Rock] We have their testicles in our hands, Twatt, and it feels good Oooh yeah did anyone who has seen it think that Bob (the early morning DJ) looks a bit like Leo from [I]That 70's show[/I]??? also can anyone tell me where I might recognize Carl from?

It was a very good film, not the most amazing. But I did like the nudity :ninja:

Haven't seen it, but the trailers made it look quite bad- based on an interesting story though, that's how John Peel first got into radio as well.

Why didn't they just do it about Radio Caroline? As if they'd say no.

[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;14832967]Why didn't they just do it about Radio Caroline? As if they'd say no.[/QUOTE] Apperently it was based around that. Wouldn't they have had to get a load of rights and stuff to use it though?

I like Jazz. The government are my kind of people.

[QUOTE=psot;14833368]I like Jazz. The government are my kind of people.[/QUOTE] I also like Classical and Jazz but I like Rock too and the pirate stations were definitely a good thing. They aided the revolution of music broadcasting.

I loved the film, especially the sound track.

Now I must see it.

I just finished watching it and I was absolutely fucking amazed. It totally exceeded my expectations and it certainly delivered as a solid comedy touching movie. SEE IT!!

Wait, this isn't about [I]Radio Caroline[/I]

My friend sam said it was really good, I'd like to see it sometime
