Discuss DVD OUT TODAY Young soldier film 'Broken Britain' at the The Intelligence Cell forum within the The Army Rumour Service website; also someone has posted on a navy page, again,
that was't me...
Is this how people solve their disputes now???? pretending to be each other via the internet???? I thouht punching someone was still acceptable, damn technology.
the person in question turned out to be an actor I worked with when i was at college, that was over 6 years ago, i guess i did'nt reply to his e-mail that he sent me a month or so ago, and so he must have googled my name to see what iam up to (which is quite scary, stalker stuff) found this post!!!! and then joined the site to diss me in front of 4000 people,
anyway i don't want this thread to turn into something that it was'nt intended to be, regarding the navy and airforce posts it looks as though someone was trying to help me, by spreading the word, but this caused confusion, people thought i was just casting the net out, they still included my contact details for my e-mail, so i think that was just someone helping, i was unaware of those sites also.
the script is coming along now and i will be meeting a few Manchester based soldiers, if there are any other Manchester based soldiers that want to meet up for a chat and a beer, let me know, PM me.
Sorry for the long wait, been researching, talking and thinking, and tonight actully started writing the new draft, under orders from you lot, its full of spelling mistakes and is'nt laid out properly and some bits are unfininsed but hopefully gives you a feeling of what iam trying to do? its a film about discrimination in certain parts of the country and is based on a true story, from a post on arrse.

Walking through the jungle a monkey hears a cry for help, he looks through the bushes to see an Ostrich up to her neck in the swamp.
“Please help me” she cries,
The monkey looks around and finds a fallen branch and tries to reach her with that but it’s too short.
Just then the Lion arrives on the scene pushing the monkey roughly out of the way and snorts "its ok I’m here now and I’ll take care of things.... he just looks at the Ostrich and say’s “no problem I’ll just go and get my Porsche and have you out of there in a jiffy".
As good as his word he returns with his Porsche backs it up to the edge of the swamp ties a length of rope to the rear bumper and throws the other end to the Ostrich and says hang on for the ride of your life. All the Lion manages to do is bury the Porsche up to the axle and frustrate the Ostrich.
Just then the Elephant arrives and says to the Ostrich"I have something that will get you out but it’s a bit racy" by now the sobbing and frustrated ostrich is up to try anything.
The elephant reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a well thumbed copy of playboy, as he studies the contents his John Thomas snakes out over the swap the Ostrich grabs it in her mouth, and with that the elephant walks backward and pulls the Ostrich out of the swamp and they walk away together into the sunset.
AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS YOU DON’T NEED A PORCSHE TO PULL A BIRD WHE YOU’VE GOT A COCK LIKE AN ELEPHANT......
Camera leaves the banter at the kebab wagon and heads over to a wall, where Lewis is bent over spewing his guts up, Amy stands by her man, giving him shit,
Amy

Lewis

You come in, fuck me, say you love me, go out with your mates, text me saying meet me, I come out, and your fucking pissed, everytime, is this what you think an actual relationship should look like.
Lewis

Amy

Lewis

Amy

Skin Head Doorman

Amy enters the bar/club camera follows, the bar is packed, the music is loud, people dance, a few drink, lots of energy, Amy walks up to Kit, grabs her arm and pulls her into a corner, they sit down, Amy breaks down into tears.
The following scene is in subtitles as the music is so fucking loud.

Two Students, escorted by Two doorman are pushed through shot

Kit
(stands to look, we follow her eyeline to see the two students being taken by doorman to the exit)
Camera follows the students out the door, they sing as they are ejected.
We are now outside the bar, our group of soldiers appear into shot.

The two students from earlier come on over and start speaking to the soldiers
Student one

Lewis

Student one
He got thrown out for just having a laugh,
Student two
They about broke my arm, the way the throw me out
Lewis
You must have done something wrong
Student one
You in the army
Lewis
Yeah
Student
Iam making a film about soldiers and the war on terror
Lewis
I can pretty much sumerise this film before it's even made, it will be about evil sqauddies who have kicked the f**k out of and tortured poor innocent insurgents and are now having PTSD flashbacks over all the ragheads they've slotted and the bad things they've done.
Can we have ungrateful civies chanting stop the war causing a flash back to when one of the soldiers saves an Afghan child from dying whilst NGOs fear to go near the kids village? One of the protesting civvies should look like a taleban protester in the childs village who wants the soldiers to leave her to die.
not read it all.
jokes arent too bad. nightclub bit might be a bit cheesey/chavvy. hard to watch.
not sure the blokes would be carrying "army ID" on them going to nightclub etc - thought they were on leave.
