it's a pretty good movie
Now Keira Knightley will be fapped to by men all across North Korea.
It's about two girls from two different backgrounds and how their friendship blah blah blah It's my mum's favorite film
Am I the only one who find this hard to believe (even with the knowing what place NK is)? I could have sworn that, altough very rarely, that they screened some western classics before.

After all these years I've only just noticed the pun in the title now.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;27094947]After all these years I've only just noticed the pun in the title now.[/QUOTE] there's a pun?
I wonder how the broadcast went and what people thought.
I've seen it. And it sucked hard. One of the worst films I've seen.

Uhhh, thats not a pun. And i seriously doubt it's a play on words either.
ITT: homosexuals with no sense of humour.

[QUOTE=Flapadar;27095399]ITT: homosexuals with no sense of humour.[/QUOTE] You mean like yourself? Yeah.
[QUOTE=Flapadar;27095094]bad pun[/QUOTE] that isn't funny
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;27094984]there's a pun?[/QUOTE] Bend it Like Beckham refers to kicking the ball. Being Bent is a British term for being gay, and as the film's about football, it's about lesbian footballers.
[QUOTE=SCopE5000;27089978]They should have broadcast Lord of the Rings.[/QUOTE] get the fuck out of my brain
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;27094872]what[/QUOTE] Until 10 years ago the UK was all, we're not talking to North Korea :colbert: Then they were like hi guys
I like the part where the guy was like "I love David Beckham" and she'ss like "yeah, he's great" and he's like "No, I actually love him" and she's like "oh". I always found that part funny for some reason.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;27100992]I have never heard this being used I am english[/QUOTE] You've never heard the term bent? Heres an example "That guy is a fucking bender"
I've heard bent use as a measure for how gay you are. 0 being straight and either 90 or 180 being completely gay. Really dumb, really.
I think they would've preferred to watch episodes of M*A*S*H.
Should've been Gran Torino.

[QUOTE=WarbiBread;27102017]I think they would've preferred to watch episodes of M*A*S*H.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's the best show ever.

The film involves boyfriends for crying out loud.
The Indians in that movie are the worst actors
[QUOTE=SBD;27088703]Like American TV is any good.[/QUOTE] better than gordon ramsey's 50th cooking show where he says fuck a lot
