mymetalphantomToday I was taking screencaps from The Thick of It (which, by the way, is about as easy as trying to thread a needle when drunk), when something caught my eye. Slightly relevent to (some of) our interests.
So when I take screencaps I watch it in slow motion. Look what I spotted in Malcolm Tucker's DVD collection.
House of Cards! XD
Edited to include a pic for comparison:
I don't know what's more sad; that I'm actually rather chuffed that it's there, or that I managed to recognise the DVD box even though the picture is blurry as anything.
Very small, amusing bit of nonsense from me.
Apologies if this all meant jack to you.

And maybe being a little bit pissy that Francis is a Scotsman who talks with an English accent. LOL

Date: 2010-07-20 02:56 am (UTC)I just watched In The Loop this past weekend and am now trying to scrape up money to but all three series of TTOI. I love Malcolm Tucker like you wouldn't believe.

*needs to hurry up with screencaps so she can make The Thick of It icons*

And, because you gave me virtual waffles (om nom nom) I will try to make some Malcolm/Nicola icons ;)

Date: 2010-07-20 10:19 am (UTC)Well, it's a political satire, so the significance of it is that everyone in politics has seen House of Cards and loads of people have quoted the "you might think that, I couldn't possibly comment" line (including ex-Prime Ministers John Major and Tony Blair).
In fact, in one of the episodes of The Thick of It the minister actually misquotes that line.
Blah, blah, blah. Yes, this is a good show. XD
Coolness!
Date: 2010-07-20 01:05 pm (UTC)But am I to understand there is something out there tougher to screencap than Colin Jeavons?? Really?
I was just thinking of that the other day...no one can quite forget walking into their sister's house to see her screaming loudly into the computer: "HOLD STILL, DAMN YOU!!!"
Re: Coolness!
Date: 2010-07-20 01:13 pm (UTC)And YES, it really is harder to cap than Colin Jeavons because, not only do I have to contend with fidgety actors, there is also purposefully shaky camera work. *growls*

Ahahahaha! Mine is always "DAMN! I ALMOST HAD IT THEN!"

GEEK POWERRRrrr
