Anger as Grimsby gets the Borat treatment: Sacha Baron Cohen's new film paints picture of Britain at its bleakest - full of urinating hooligans, binge drinkers, boarded-up shops and loose women

I love this guy. People get butthurt in this day and age over anything. I hope this is good.
Oh and I love the look of his character.. brilliant.
This looks greasy ans rough as shit. I can't fucking wait.
Sacha Baron Cohen making another movie? Bitchin'!
To be honest, it's accurate. Some parts of the country have basically become Carcer City by now.
[QUOTE=usaokay;45366148]Looks like a normal day in Britain.[/QUOTE]
Funny thing is it actually fucking does
It truly is accurate to my area. This place has been the same kinda shithole since the 80's and the pits closing made it worse.
Love that he's doing something like this but really just glad to see him do anything after finding out he won't be playing Freddie Mercury.
But isn't that what Ali G was about in the first place?
He should of just done this in Stoke, it's normally a shit-hole and we're proud of it for some idiotic reason.
[QUOTE=agentalexandre;45366192]But isn't that what Ali G was about in the first place?[/QUOTE]
Ali G was about middle class white guys (mostly) pretending to be American gangsters, who also team up to stop a government conspiracy [sp]to turn Stains into an extension of Heathrow airport.[/sp]
[QUOTE=agentalexandre;45366192]But isn't that what Ali G was about in the first place?[/QUOTE]
Ali G was more about white boys thinking they were black.
This is 10 times funnier.

Yep, i've went to london on holiday, there are some nice places. And then there are places like in those pictures, where i lived.
How dare he expose the way things actually are instead of gloriying them
Funny how the Daily Mail are outraged by this but it's the same picture they paint every day.
He looks like Liam Gallagher.
this is confirmative for accurate representation of grimsby
[QUOTE=mini me;45366165]Funny thing is it actually fucking does[/QUOTE]
I live in [i]Essex[/I] and there isn't a single town nearby that looks anything like this for me
[QUOTE=Scot;45366410]He looks like Liam Gallagher.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think he's going to be some kind of dumb football 'casual' which is kinda funny. A bunch of my old friends from high school went full on casual but yet weren't actually that dumb so they enjoyed this guys stuff. I can't wait to see their outrage when they find out about this.

thats because you live in fucking essex. A middleclass graveyard.
And yet it still looks nicer than Birkenhead

Most pit towns are shitholes now to be honest, I'm from far North where basically every town is a former pit town and they all have some nice estates but a lot of the areas and people are pretty awful. Looks exaggerated but if you were to take one or two of the individual things that make the pictures up then its probably something similar to what most people have seen at some point.
[url=http://vimeo.com/47812991]Buzzcocks[/url] is from the same town as me, not sure how well he is known but he's a [url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151431853310757]parody[/url] of the chavs in the area / North East, was extremely popular 10 or so years ago, like a North East earlier version of Devvo. Thing is he's scarily like what a lot of people there act like.

Nah, in their version of the UK, all these problems exist but they're caused by Muslims.
Why the hell would we get mad at it considering we take the piss out of our country all the time, the Mail seems to be projecting its own anger in denial that this is what a lot of our towns are actually like (though exaggerated)
My father is an extra in this film
He got to sit next to Sacha Baron Cohen and even has a few lines :v:
I'm English and I can't wait to see what he does with England. Judging from the clothes he's sporting, it's gonna focus on whatever the next stage of a chav's lifecycle is :v:
I see they cleaned Grimsby up a bit for this film, that's nice of them.

Bullshit, this is basildon all over.
It's a fucking film, who gives a shit?
