Although none of our fellow participants has yet shared any of the numerous photos taken on the occasion, suffice to say that at least at stages in our fun-packed Jubilee Film Club gathering on Thursday, we probably looked a bit like the above audience as we settled down to watch...
...the (almost) appropriately-titled Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert:
...and (a first for me) the hilarious Best in Show!
A great combination, and along with party games and lots of booze, a great way to celebrate Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee!
Am I right that you're saying you never saw Best in Show before?
ReplyDeleteJust know that though the film is a satire, it abso-fucking-lutely is NOT a satire. The people who show dogs are out of their fucking minds.
Happy Platty Joobs darling!!
Best in Show has been "on my list" for years, dear - and it was worth the wait! I can absolutely imagine that every single character in that film was based on a real individual - it's exactly what Christopher Guest does best, and he is just the latest in a long British tradition of "observational dark humour" specialists like Alan Bennett and Victoria Wood.

DeletePS "Platty Joobs"?!!!!!!!!! Have you been looking at Tik Tok again? At your age...
Of course I love PRiscilla, but Best in Show is one of my all-time favorites.
ReplyDeleteAm I right in thinking Her Maj hasn't mentioned you ONCE in any of her nattering remarks? The nerve, who does she think she is?
I know! The Birthday Honours list was very dull this time, I thought - a little Damehood pour moi would have brightened things up immensely! It was obviously lost in the post. Again. Jx

ReplyDeleteDrat! My italicising didn't go exactly to plan.
DeleteItalics or no italics, it's a joyful film! Jx
DeleteAh, two great choices!
ReplyDeleteWe loved 'em both! Jx
DeleteI have Best in Show on DVD - it needs an airing.

It's worth repeat viewing, Ms Scarlet. Jx
