#Tangfastics

"Andrew knows this, and it's well documented that I'm a bad texter - horrendous..."

"...we're always children in our parents' eyes, you know? So there's something that - it sort of touches people; people's reaction to the film is sort of extraordinary, they get really, really emotional, it's really amazing. So yeah, we're really, really, really proud of it and can't wait for people to see it."

"...When I was saying I was playing Andrew Scott's mum, people were like: "In flashback?" And I said: "No actually - to his face."...I think it could've really - been really, really strange, but because the script was so amazing, when we sat down and did the first scene, it immediately worked, which, if it hadn't, it would've been a very different process I think, but it was just really lucky; we all immediately got on and it just felt right...it felt completely natural."

"...you know that feeling when sort of you climb into your parents' bed? I mean, that's sort - I think that's why it's breaking people's hearts. It's emotional, but it's not a depressing film by any stretch of the imagination, it just goes to a real childish place for, for the audience I think."

"Well, do you know who was on my walls? It was Kylie...we're not pals but we're friendly; I just went to 'An Audience with Kylie Minogue' and I had to help her down off the stage. I did - she chose me from the audience, I think. And I brought my sister and she was like, it was, she said: "This is the best night of my life." So, isn't that amazing? Yeah, yeah, really cool. So Kylie was on my walls, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Claire is excellent at the name game... she is absolutely ON FIRE!...I have videos of it...I've got videos of it, you know you can video those things and I've found - you know when your phone gives you memories? Well there's this really frantic game of the name game that we played; me and Jamie and Claire..."

"...you can't just spend your whole day crying, crying your eyes out - you have to find the fun."

"...Andrew Scott is the best person alive, but I already knew that."

"...I just hope people go and see this in a dark room with people, because that's the thing that has people saying like, when they come out of it, it's like - you feel a catharsis in the audience with people crying and laughing around you, and I think it's always the best way to see a film."

You never expect a cola bottle tangfastic to taste like actual cola until it tastes like cola

[happy-mokka]

Looks familiar...the typical "Sour Haribo gums" faces...now I love them even more...

The childish glee at being given their favorite sweets! Andrew's delighted little clap!

Bless you TodayFM interviewer! I hope it was worth sacrificing all of the audio from your precious few allotted minutes to the sounds of packet crinkling and loud chewing 😆

" - can't guess what's coming."

"What's coming?"

"Oh."

"Hey, hey, hey."

"I've done some research; I believe Tangfastics are a popular choice between you."

"No, you - I always open it from the bottom."

"Why the bottom? The sugar?"

"To get the sugar."

"Good tip."

"That is a genius life hack."

"Can I open it? Can we have-?"

"Please."

"We're eating into your time so -"

"Literally eating into your time."

"Well I'd rather you did that as you're eating...while you're doing that, I will continue and say - what an incredible movie. Like, the emotion in every scene in this movie; it knocked me for six..."

Haribo Tangfastics at 2am are a bad idea

Intermissions were originally because (like DVDs back in the day kids), cinema reels could only manage so much run time and had to be changed (in very early cinema, they had as many as four intermissions to change reels..!). Even as tech improved, in the 50s the 3D stereoscope reels needed a break to be switched out as well. And that's leaving aside the other big plus of intervals that theatres rely on - it's an opportunity to bump profits by selling more food and drink. Afaik, most UK cinemas at least make more profit from that already rather than ticket sales even without intermissions, so it's no small thing to consider bringing them back with longer films taking up more screens as it is.

And intermissions are making a comeback in some cinemas this year specifically - the unexpected success of Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon have meant that Vue have been trialling intermissions in some of their UK branches for longer screenings, and apparently have had good feedback.

Indian cinema has famously always had intermissions and that's never stopped being a thing! Most Indian films shown in UK cinemas include the intermission as well, and that isn't going anywhere.

(I say this having dithered over booking London Film Festival stuff recently because they were four hours long, with no interval. Steve McQueen's documentary Occupied City - about the legacy of nazi occupation on Amsterdam - I couldn't fit in. But I did indeed rock up for a four hour screening of Menu Plaisirs - Les Troisgrois, in which a 93 year old director spends several months embedded at a historical family run French Michelin restaurant. It's niche to begin with! You could hear people psyching themselves up as they went in (some of them had obviously seen the 3.5 hour KOTFM the previous day) and honestly it was quite entertaining seeing who out of the sold out audience started leaving after the two hour mark. It's super slow and gentle and immersive and it's... Just interesting. You learn stuff. You can absolutely pop out halfway through to visit the bar and the loo and not really miss anything. I think a themed intermission where they make an event of it and serve relevant food & wine would make for an awesome event, but otherwise I just took note of the runtime and stocked up on quiet snacks before I went in and it was fine).

Unpopular theatre opinion: intermissions are bad and I wish we could just have a 2.5 hour performance uninterrupted, like people manage perfectly well at movie theaters. It always just kills my emotional immersion. Set changes and costume changes valid, but the art form could adapt in other ways. Or making the intermission experience somehow also part of the performance? Just something more interesting and intentional than dumping people out into the lobby to buy m&ms.
