Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is terrible.
 
I've tried to watch it like fucking four times. This is the fourth right now and I just cannot sit through this shit. I keep telling myself, "maybe I just wasn't giving it a chance. Maybe I wasn't paying attention hard enough." But each time I try, I can never get through it. The movie is just really shitty to me. I don't understand this shit. Same thing with Snatch. I must have tried to watch that movie like ten times.

Part of it might be the whole not understanding a damn thing they are saying thing, but even with subtitles, still no dice at all.

El Capitano Gatisto 07-11-2004 10:39 PM

I think Lock, Stock is ok, but Snatch is shit.

Guy Ritchie married Madonna too, and she is a stupid cunt. I'd love to stand on his neck.

lol

<font color=green> I'm surprised you don't like them. I can understand the language problem for you though. </font>

I thought everybody loved the movie BECAUSE you can't understand them. They talk different than we talk, that makes it funny.

Seriously though, I thought it was great the first time, but I find it harder and harder to sit through each additional time. How far do you actually get into the movie each time? It's a somewhat daunting to keep up with everything that's going on at first, but when it all ties in together and you see what's going on it gets pretty cool.

As far as not being able to understand them, if I can't understand the dialect of a movie I listen to it with headphones. I guess it helps me focus more on what they are saying or something, maybe you could give that a try. That is, if you really care about it that much :p

Yea, Snatch isn't so great.

Frank Grimes Jnr 07-11-2004 10:53 PM

Snatch and Lock, Stock are fucking brilliant.
But I understand that if u can't understand the language then you will have trouble following the movie.
Watch it with subtitles next time.

YOUR Hero 07-11-2004 11:16 PM

Trying to understand it, was part of the appeal.

DegenerationY 07-11-2004 11:18 PM

I liked it the first time I saw it. Haven't tried to watch it in a couple years though.

I liked Snatch as well, just not as much.

Danny Electric 07-11-2004 11:52 PM

British humour.

Lock Stock is a better movie. Pitt just puts up a good performance.

Eddie: They're armed.
Soap: Armed, armed with what?
Eddie: Err, bad breath, colourful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!

The Mackem 07-12-2004 01:04 AM

Tom: Look, it's all completely chicken soup.
Nick the Greek: It's what?
Tom: It's kosher. As Christmas.
Nick the Greek: The Jews don't celebrate Christmas, Tom.

The Mackem 07-12-2004 01:05 AM

Rory Breaker: If you hold back anything, I'll kill ya. If you bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, I'll kill ya. If you forget anything I'll kill ya. In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick. Now do you understand everything I've said? Because if you don't, I'll kill ya.

The Mackem 07-12-2004 01:06 AM

Soap: You're not funny, Tom. You're fat, and look as though you should be, but you're not.

Rory Breaker: Is this some white cunts joke that black cunts don't get? 'Cause I'm not fucking laughing Nicholas.

Bacon: What's that?
Samoan Joe's Barman: It's a cocktail. You asked for a cocktail.
Bacon: No. I asked for a refreshing drink! I didn't expect a fucking rainforest? I could fall in love with an orangutan in that! Bring me a pint.
Samoan Joe's Barman: You want a pint, you go to the pub.
Bacon: This is a pub!
Samoan Joes Barman: It's a Samoan pub.

The Mackem 07-12-2004 01:10 AM

Ermm yeah, I like that film.

Boomer 07-12-2004 01:12 AM

My favorite scene has to be the fire extinguisher scene. Hands down.

AareDub 07-12-2004 01:14 AM

Bacon :love:

Vega 07-12-2004 03:13 AM

I don't like either that well.

Downunder 07-12-2004 03:27 AM

Bloody Yanks that don't understand English. (subtitles :wtf: )

That film is piss funny

Downunder 07-12-2004 03:28 AM

So I guess you didn't stand and cheer at the end of it Triple A

The Mackem 07-12-2004 08:20 AM

LOL

yianni 07-12-2004 09:45 AM

I agree with AareDub that the more you watch Lock Stock, the harder it gets each time to sit through it. But it's still a top movie. I don't know why people don't like Snatch though, Snatch is fucking great.

Blue Demon 07-12-2004 10:16 AM

Haven't seen Lock Stock, but I thought Snatch was awsome.

ct2k 07-12-2004 01:37 PM

You Yanks should just be glad it wasn't set in Liverpool or Lancashire:|

Mr. Monday Morning 07-12-2004 01:37 PM

Both of them are way WAY overrated by some people (best British film ever? :wtf: ) but they ain't bad.

Guy Ritchie's the ultimate one-trick pony though.

ct2k 07-12-2004 01:47 PM

Indeed, Tarantino comparisons are laughable

Disturbed316 07-12-2004 04:00 PM

I loved Lock Stock. Also loved the spin off tv series on channel 4.

Imagi-Nation 07-13-2004 07:09 AM

I thought Snatch was good.

Lock Stock on the other hand was pretty shit.
I kept hearing from friends about how great it was, so I borrowed it and watched it.
All through it I was thinking something good might happen.
But it didnt.
So at the end I was like :wtf:

Was rather shitty.

Bunch of crapheads.

I had the same problem with Rocky V

Smitty 07-16-2004 12:56 AM

Good flick, I seriously don't see the dialect in this movie being that difficult to understand where it would become unenjoyable.

Rob 07-16-2004 06:49 PM

We should try making British films that use American slang so 300 million other tosspots can adam and eve it.

yianni 07-17-2004 04:58 AM

British slang is gold.

Dazz 07-17-2004 11:58 AM

Yeah Lock Stock's the shit. I juts looked for it online and I can't find it :| Snatch was pretty good but i fell asleep during it so I haven't seen all of it.
