That’s crazy to think about. Here’s some info on his next film. Has a decent cast and one of the writers from Peep Show

Hoping the humor is more Mark-tinged, although wouldn't mind if he Jez'd it up, can't go wrong with some balls-up Jezzing. 

Really excited to hear this, thanks for sharing. Always pumped and grateful for anything Morris does. This seems to be his first project set in America (excepting all of those little bits from Day Today where a criminal from a US prison is being interviewed and executed, and also the brilliant American priests with guns bit from Brasseye crime episode. 'You moved funny, I had to shoot.' lol

it is fucking wild how four lions has come true. idiot brits and americans joining isis and then fucking up royally 

IIRC it came about as a result of the true stories he'd read about terrorist groups - Seem to remember one about a group loading up a boat with weapons and bombs and having to be rescued as it sank from the weight.

I choose to believe that Chris Morris is a soothsayer. He totally predicted that the British isles would turn into the Paedoph isles

Four Lions is such a classic film

still holding out on watching the new series until it's all out ... 

but here's something :-)

Soapy hands & musn’t, touchscreen madness & Irish guest highlights so far

Think i’d fuck Lynn

Just got around to it. Episodes one and two so far. I am now sore from cringing so much.

Very good.

I’m a yuuuuge Alan Partridge fan and have seen everything. I was so excited for this series, but I have to say, I’m not feeling it anywhere near as much as I expected.

To me, it just feels like it’s more cringe than laugh. Also, some things don’t really line up (see SPOILER for more of my thoughts that most of you will probably disagree with).

Maybe it’s because Armando Iannucci isn’t a part of it.

Whatever the case, I have only watched the first 4 episodes and have had a hard time bringing myself to keep watching... but I plan to finish, for sure.

Definitely on the same page as you man !

Damn you're reading too much into it dude... 

I think perhaps your gripes may be with the format that they are trying to emulate, sticking with that whilst keeping it Partridge hasn’t been easy but I think they pulled it off. It definitely has goofy moments like when he sings the songs that lead into segments, and the lookalike alone made the series worthwhile. And whilst pricks like Pierce Morgan are being employed it’s not completely unfeasable that Partridge couldnt find work either.

OMFG. I binge-watched the entire thing a few days ago on a plane and found myself uncontrollably laughing like a fool multiple times. S2 is WAY better than S1, IMO. So fucking great. Can't wait for more.
