    Really tragic story. Sick world we live in.

    Dead Man's Shoes, as one would suspect, is partly autobiographical

    'I'm not an angry man,' chrips director Shane Meadows, the affably bouncy British talent who scored a low-budget success with the acclaimed 24 7, and then cemented his reputation with the comedic offerings A Room for Romeo Brass and Once Upon a Time in the Midlands. 'I'm not violent and I've never enjoyed violence,' he explains. 'But at the end of the day, the characters who get killed in Dead Man's Shoes are based on people I want to kill. It's true and I'm not going to lie about it.'

    The characters in question are drug peddling hustlers who use and abuse a simple-minded young man in a faceless Midlands village and subsequently face the wrath of his brother, a returning soldier played with powerful conviction by actor-screenwriter Paddy Considine. 'Every small town has its secrets,' says Meadows, who lost a close friend to schizophrenia and suicide at the age of 17, and still bears resentment towards those who took advantage of him. 'It was one of those environments where anyone who showed any kind of weakness was preyed upon, and that's pretty much what happened to him. And it's the same all over the country.'

    In Dead Man's Shoes, Meadows vents his frustrations at a plethora of 'heinous crimes that haven't been paid for' in a thriller which attempts to transform the 'West Country western' sensibility of Straw Dogs into a 'Midlands Mad Max'.

    :lol: it's so inane but so goddamn funny.

    There's a lot of hilarious Vic n Bob sketches on YT, many of which, like the Caravan one, are from Shooting Stars.

    Coincidentally enough, A Room for Romeo Brass is Bob Mortimer's favourite movie

    :lol: Yeah probably. I've always loved Walken but I had no idea he'd studied dance and could move like that until I saw him in that Fat Boy Slim video lol

    Straight from the horses mouth,it’s all bull **** that showing no weakness thing,a friend of mine with an hard dad and brothers literally took his own life as he felt like he couldn’t live up to em,crazy thing is he was liked cause he was soft and the complete opposite to hard man thing,if only he’d of lived through it I’m sure he’d of come to the same conclusion.
