Somers Town articles as we find them...

[Dave]

With it being so close to the release of Somers Town now, there seem to be quite a few interviews and articles about the film hidden throughout the internet..... so I thought why not have a thread where we can all link to articles we find!

With most of these articles, I would PRESUME SPOILERS!

So, any Somers Town articles you spot, post the link in this thread. When we start drying up, I'll pop all the links in the links directory of the site!

Here's an article I just found... an interview with Thomas Turgoose in the Independant that does feature SPOILERS:
www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/08/15/bftommo115.xml
It features another exclusive clip of the film, which you may want to avoid before seeing the film.

EDIT: I had to stop reading as half way through.. SPOILERS

Jumping aboard the high-speed, great value gravy train.

Guardian Blog... quite complimentary although coming in from the same advertising angle as the above.

Write up review Britfilms tv Somers Town

Just on the previous posts sure it does not matter how the film is funded as long as the film does not panda to every whim of the backer or the film is not molded to there product all that matters is getting the film shoot and made to the directors vision.

Big jpeg of the recent Metro article where Shane does talk about the Eurostar issue:

Why so many people are bothered about the Eurostar funding is crazy. Who cares where the money came from (as long as it isn't from Knock-Off-Nigel DVDs ;D ). Why don't people kick up a stink about the UK Film Council distributing funds from the National Lottery! Those swines demand a logo on the front of their films, Eurostar haven't.

I haven't read the following articles yet......

Dave yep dead right could not give a flying f--k where it [FUNDING]comes from as long as the film does not REFLECT WHERE IT COMES FROM..

Mark Kermode's argument on this subject nails it I think. No matter where Shane gets his funding from I doubt if there's ever going to be a OUATITM again.

Just had a nice pleasurable read of all these articles while at work. ;D

Some interesting stuff lies therein... not least that Tomo's girlfriend gets a discount at Greggs!

Not sure if that ones been provided here. Dave, in which article does it mention about the Gregg's discount, I'm intrigued.

Jake/Paul, I wondered what your links were all about since they have no relation to Somers Town - what does 'Stagger' mean?

As for Jake/Paul, he/they keep slipping links to his/their own film in his/their posts. The little tinker(s).
You can pop your own links into the signature area of your posts you know Mr Jake/Paul... it would be much more polite. Just go to your profile, then Modify profile, then pop it in the signature bit.
