It would go broke. All the awesome effort it made, the sound and camera filters, the getting the right graphic, the tiny little subtle things that probably cost a fortune but for a seconds, often unnoticed glory ,case in point, the graphic for the football scores, where it was a footballer spitting and the flob of spit expanded to act as the scoreboard, I had watched it many times before noticing.

However, I think the world will just go for the cheaper option rather than the sheer brilliance of Armando and Chris. What a powerhouse. I met Armando at Cheltenham Literature Festival, and managed a couple of minutes chat with him. One of the highlights of my life. His own sketch show was an underappreciated gem
From the interview here you wouldn’t believe you were watching a satire or dark comedy, you’d think it was a Spike Lee-esque political thriller? But that’s the genius of Chris Morris- the dark lord of British television. If I met him in person, I’d be terrified but mesmerised!
The problem with security services is they are completely un-elected, anonymous and practically unaccountable for anything. The British Secret Service was exposed 20 years ago as having just faked a load of "evidence" that Iraq had WMDs in order to facilitate the British government sending our forces in with the US. It was exposed as all made up and yet nothing ever happened. It just got forgotten about. Security services have themselves portrayed in movies and on tv as James Bonds saving the world secretly while everyone is against them.. yet in reality they are utterly corrupt and immoral organisations in bed with top politicians and big businesses lying, making things up, murdering people when it suits them and never being questioned or held accountable for anything. Run by un-elected officials who are in power for decades at a time. An ex-SAS soldier spoke about what MI6 actually did in Iraq when gathering "intelligence" on insurgents. It wasn't 007 or anything even remotely professional, it was a bunch of public school morons sent into Iraq with wads of cash asking for information on anyone who might be an insurgent. The result of this was 99% completely made up nonsense by poor locals desperate for a few hundred dollars cash so they said literally anything to get the money - telling them their neighbour who they didn't like might be an insurgent etc. Thousands of men were arrested, many sent to US interrogation camps for months and years on end and it turned out nearly all of them were completely innocent people, nothing whatsoever to do with any terrorism. Their homes were destroyed and ransacked by the special forces, their families dragged off to other camps and so on. Meanwhile special forces soldiers such as Ben Griffin began to realise that while they were becoming the Gestapo what was actually happening in Baghdad was fleets of businessmen from oil and other industries were going in and snatching up all the business they could take. A good talk on all this is on TH-cam, called, "The Making of a Modern British Soldier" by Ben Griffin - ex-Parachute Regiment and 22nd Special Air Service. th-cam.com/video/6tHvtFibhic/w-d-xo.html
@@AD-kv9kj MI5 and MI6 are totally unaccountable as you write. The most publicised murder in Northern Ireland is the Human Rights Solicitor, Pat Finucane, on orders of Thatcher's Government in 1989, using the Ulster Defence Association.
Genius I am an unapologetic sycophantic fan boy Have loved all his work and only wish there was more of it . But as the saying goes it’s quality not quantity and I know when Morris does do something it’s perfect
Because it’s realistic! It may seem like it’s a satire or lighthearted comedy of sorts but I thought of it as a tragedy akin to an American, racially-charged, straight-faced JAM
I have always found Chris Morris to be ahead of the cutting edge of media... For example, take a look at The Day Today and Brasseye... That looked silly then, but you compare it to news and documentaries today and they emulate perfectly what Morris satirised, from the use of graphics and reconstructions of events to the tone and language used. I can't wait to watch this
“Unarmed black man, unarmed white man, who’s more likely to have a gun?”. That’s such a fucking smart line that illustrates a lot of racial paranoia. I’m excited to see this
The best Black Mirror episode was the one where the serial killer dropped bricks off tall buildings into the heads of people who are looking at their phones.
I really wonder if the occasionalness of Morris' output is based on him finding it hard to get secured funding sorted, or if he just takes this long to put all this stuff together? (You can tell he's the kindof chap who revels in the finickyness of a project - lucky / unlucky for us!)
I think he kind of answered that himself in this interview, when he talks about being born "with the wrong software". It definitely has to do with his process of creation.
Anyone interested in this should also watch a talk, available here on TH-cam, by and ex-Para and SAS soldier called, "The Making of a Modern British Soldier". th-cam.com/video/6tHvtFibhic/w-d-xo.html He talks about what British SIS (MI6) did in their so called "intelligence gathering" in Iraq, what the special forces did and his eventual realisation that he was no longer serving an elite special forces regiment protecting Queen and country, but was being used by big business and US command as basically a Gestapo hit squad and speaks very well about his life leading him to that point and how easily he was suckered in.
"Unarmed white man, unarmed black man? Which one of them is more likely to have a gun?!" It's not a line that should ever be spoken, without the listener bursting out laughing. It IS funny. And yet here we are, listening to REAL cops REALLY saying this, with no irony or satire in their voices.
The scenes with Moses etc were great and Marchant puts in an excellent performance. I just wish the FBI stuff had been sharper and more consistent as it makes for a *very* unbalanced film.
@Hamish Munroe I thought the FBI scenes were all over the place tonally and comedically, and it wasn't really clear what they were in the film for (other than the obvious reasons). There you go. I'm not sure why you thought I was trying to "be clever". I didn't say anything particularly esoteric, did I?
@Hamish Munroe Your failure to understand the comment, does not mean it does not make sense. Allan's intent was perfectly clear to me and I haven't even seen the scenes in question. I suspect infact, you know perfectly well what the intent was, you simply disagree.
I watched the film recently and it was great but, the trailer combined with the in depth, prerelease explanation made it feel as if I'd seen it already.
I'm super uncomfortable with all the seemingly straight-forward and open Chris Morris material we've been getting in the past few days. It feels unnatural, and I can't open myself up to believe that he's being honest with the camera.
Morris undoubtedly a genius-level comedic talent and The Day Today and particularly Brass Eye will forever be the gold standard for comedy as far as I am concerned. However he is also sadly a bit of an SJW these days and might not mesh well with Joe.

Very very clever fella, cross between the joker, a serial killer and the singing Detective.
Please Chris Morris write and make a film on James Earl Ray. Then you can show the world the monstrous relationship between the FBI and civil rights.
