Chris Morris - Four Lions

If anyone has been following Chris Morris' new feature film project Four Lions (or Boilerhouse, so I've read), a few details have emerged (and with Kevin Eldon!)

Some news: Four Lions update in the Guardian

I can't wait for this.

Any Chris Morris fans out there?

Some classic bits:

Brasseye - Taking Drugs Through a Dog

The Day Today

The man's a genius. (Blue) Jam ftw. Not least of all because of this.

amazing. wasn't he asking for donations because all his funding got scared?

not much news here except kevin eldon!!!

I'm a fan but I don't think he's done anything truly great since Brass Eye.

And I prefer the Day Today!

i prefer his childhood crayon drawings

no i prefer his ultrasound photo

no i prefer the video of his conception

LOL, whatever. His stuff is better when it's tempered by minds like Coogan, Baynham, Iannucci et al... but of course I'm just being contrarian for the sake of it, it's not like I'm an actual fan or anything.

not so much brooker. lol

Oh wow, you remembered!

I ADORE Day Today and Brass Eye, I think Jam is my favourite Morris work though. Nathan Barley was shit... I'm worried this will be cack too..

What a hipster.

Jam was alright, I watched it again a few weeks ago after digging the DVD out. It's incredibly hit or miss for me though. The radio programme was very good, the monologues were by far the funniest aspect of it I reckon and it's a shame they didn't really make it into the TV show... My Wrongs showed how well some of them could have worked!

i thought nathan barley was great

qft

be cool to have a compilation of just them alone

Yeah, on my last computer I used to have hours and hours of Blue Jam, most of the episodes in fact, as low-quality RealMedia files. If I still had them I'd compile my own best-of because the CD was something of a let-down.

i have them all in mp3 format. from the cookd n bombd site

I think I might have been late to the party with it. I watched it last year and just didn't find any of it funny, which is a shame but there you go.

Jam just hits the spot with me - surreal, pitch black humour. Well shot. Great music. Comes together perfectly in my opinion.

Lovely, did you grab the Radio 1 music shows as well? They were absolutely hilarious. The Wayne Carr interview in the original post is great, but I think the funniest one was when he interviewed 2 Unlimited.

"Don't you think it's rather negative to have the word 'no' twelve times in a row?"

"Are there any things that you think there should be a limit on?"
