"I loved listening to comedy albums when I was growing up. This one was produced by George Martin. Sellers used to put on all these accents and do them perfectly. On 'Suddenly It's Folk Song' it's him playing a German anthropologist. [Proceeds to recount entire section of the album verbatim, accents and all] It's just a great record. I loved all those black and white caper movies. The talent on Sellers was just amazing. He was so influential on the Bonzos and the Python people. I picked up on this as a teenager and I know every word of it now. It's perfect. It's extraordinary how funny he is."

Dunkirk (2017)
Dunkirk (2017)
2017 | Action, History, War
Christopher Nolan's retelling of the Dunkirk Evacuation of May 1940, when the Allied troops were trapped on the beaches by an ever-advancing German army.

Told in 3 distinct over-lapping theatres: the Mole, the Sea and the Air, and with limited dialogue, I have to say (and I realise I'm probably in the minority here) I didn't really rate this movie all that much - to me, the shots of the British army seemed laughable small (I'm positive it was far larger than shown), while the constant attempts to pull on the viewers emotions just had the opposite effect, and the never-explained-very-clearly intersecting timelines just didn't work.
