It Couldn't Happen Here - The Movie

#1 Post by Radiophonic »

Can someone lead my to the thread on this - there must be one?

I've tried a search, but there are PAGES and it's mostly about the song.

I just want to read about the possibility of a DVD release anytime in my lifetime.... :eh: :shifty:

I recently bought a copy off Ebay from a buyer whom had transferred from vhs to dvd
Not the greatest of copies but worth it for watching Gareth Hunt and his bad jokes and only about a fiver

I had a pirate copy for my birthday, on 2 video cd... Chineese subtitles... Better that than nothing I guess.

They've mentioned a couple of times about a possible official DVD release.

God, why would they bother? It's awful!

Having said that, didn't stop me from watching it several hundred times back in the day :shifty:

I watched it once. That was enough. Not my cup o' tea.
(now that you mention it, I remember the version had Chinese subtitles! hehe)
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
It's in the music...

There's so many more interesting things I could do with 1.5 hours of my life: watching paint dry, reading Genesis, cleaning the patio.
I love the soundtrack though :wink:

I'll be the one to say that I adore it, but then again I also adore Legacy. Oh, well.

I have really fond memories of this movie, although I couldn't cliam to understand it at the time. I remember Smash Hits doing an article on a girl who claimed to be the world's biggest PSB fan (don't we all) and she explained what it was supposed to mean. Still didn't get it! I also remember an interview with Chris where he stated that he couldn't bring himself to throw the plate of egg and what not over Babs Windsor. Such a gentleman.

I know something even better, but I can't say it.
