Screen Shrapnel // 0800-0930 12.09.09
let there be screen shrapnel
Subcity programmers foolishly said, “Let there be Screen Shrapnel”, and there was Screen Shrapnel.
So, the first show is in the can, and what a show it was. With production as graceful as a virgin unhooking his first girlfriend’s bra-strap and with song links as smooth as Robin William’s knuckles, Screen Shrapnel genesis is satisfyingly shambolic. But look beyond our limited DJing abilities and you’ll find some two-carrot nuggets of film criticism.
We discuss Fish Tank, the latest release from late blooming directing talent Andrea Arnold. And we consider Neil Bloomkamp's not too fantastical imaginings of an Earth invaded by some anti-social Aliens in District 9. We also debate the best of the current releases and reveal our favourite British film of the millennium so far.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.
