Inglourious Basterds ultimately proved less than controversial because Tarantino was intelligent enough to eschew shots of Holocaust victims in favour of scenes featuring tough Jewish blokes making mincemeat of a cavalcade of cartoonish Nazi scumbags.
Incidentally I'm getting a lot of questions about what the Brownlees are like - you can read the longer answer in my piece below, but the short answer is that they're both top blokes.
One passes the other as if they were two blokes simply accustomed to bumping into one another.
Blokes do, but it's done in a particular context, not around the family table, and it's quite stressful to try and deliver a funny joke, so it would be a disaster.' It's unlikely that Tom Smith would approve of modern crackers, but it's nice to know that these puns do serve a purpose.
Plus we're brutally honest – the blokes were getting a bit of a lashing last night for the way we bowled [on Monday].
Anyone who says this is anything less than a beguiling and brilliant theatrical reimagining of the possibilities of the live electro experience hasn't spent enough time staring at the shadows of two blokes behind a set of decks pretending to twiddle knobs to a backing tape for an hour.
"To be able to commit for that long, but also being able to track free agency, it shows that the group can sacrifice and allow these blokes to come in and hopefully build more success," Roughead said of his new deal.
But if Freak Show can keep its composure – which means no zombies, Nazis, killer Santas or blokes with faces on the backs of their heads – it is well on course to be a riotous season of a show that proudly refuses to give a single hoot.
For me – and, we can assume, for Simon Cowell – to be British is to spend your Saturday afternoons sitting on a tatty sofa in a house that smells of chip fat, watching two fat blokes repeatedly bump tummies in their pants for money.
In fact, the incident boosted his popularity in a country which likes its men to be red-blooded blokes.
A load of blokes running up a hill and roaring at each other.
