Yeah, so, yeah. The billboard film about some billboards. I mean, you know, it’s hard to get excited about a film about billboards. ‘Yeah, so here’s a billboard, and, you know, now here’s another billboard. You’ll never guess what’s coming up next.’
I figure then, that the best thing I can do is head down to the Splintered Foot because, you know, after a few pints of Frantic Headbanger, you can get totally enthusiastic about anything, even billboard films.
Thing is, though, they’ve got a quiz on and I’m, like, really smart. So, I team up with listless Larry because he’s good at general knowledge, and sport, and history, and geography and there’s me, and if they ask how many billboards there are outside Ebbing, Missouri then I use my speciality film reviewer knowledge to totally nail that question to the wall.
Now, I’m going to be, like, totally honest here, the quiz went on a bit longer than I thought it would and I didn’t get to actually go and see the film at all.
But, these girls came in the pub a bit later and they’d totally been to see it. So I asked them and they said it was excellent, but harrowing, and Francis someone-or-other was a totally good actress and the bit with a starfish was awesome. At least, I think they said starfish, I was on, like, my seventh pint of Frantic Headbanger so I don’t know, man. I sometimes see elves after seven pints.
Screen Idle star rating *** – we came sixth in the quiz. Listing founder members of the UN is totally hard.
