The Trip

"No, I will not do Doctor Who. I'm not going to do a BBC show."

Steve Coogan in The Trip

I assume this was much funnier when the viewer was watching it on television so the humor is lost a bit on the big screen. However, the big screen is totally worth it when it comes to the gorgeous scenery and food.

In fact, seeing all that gorgeous scenery from Yorkshire and the Lake District, some of which I recognized- HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!, I've come to the conclusion that as awesome as Gwen's lakeside cottage was...I would have loved more location shots in Torchwood or Doctor Who or just about anything, but I guess it's too expensive...

:(

It's too late to catch The Trip at Tampa Theatre but make sure you catch it on dvd or a theater near you. Also, Beginners is at Parkway. We drove all the way to St. Pete to see it last week but it was totally worth it.

Also, LION KING AD ON DISNEY CHANNEL!!! lION KING AD ON DISNEY CHANNEL!!!
Despite a fully functioning eight year old dvd, I'm very, very tempted to do the Disney Store pre-order.

P.S. Steve Coogan would be awesome in Doctor Who and I wasn't that much familiar with Rob Brydon before so I suspected from an early comment that he must be Welsh but then he said something exactly like Kai, lol.

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

I totally recognized the same scenery from Harry Potter - the limestone scene with the annoying old man?

She was only sixteen. She was only sixteen. SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN!

I need to find out which movie that's from, lol.

Yep, that's the one. In fact, there's an official page about them:

I loved how Rob was complaining about Steve being boring and then Steve gets some of his own medicine, lol.

"She was only sixteen" comes from Get Carter.

I think it's from Harry Brown or Get Carter.

I would love to go there.

Another great movie with Coogan and Brydon is Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. It's partly an adaptation of Laurence Sterne's novel, and partly a mockumentary about the making of the adaptation. It's not for everyone, but if it's the kind of thing you like, it's hysterical.

I did enjoy that one although not as much as 24 Hour Party People.

Oooo -- so glad to hear The Trip and Beginners are good. They've been on my list for a while now. And I have to second tiggerallyn on the Tristam Shandy rec.

By "newish" one, do you mean the Tom Hardy miniseries?
