SXSW movie I'd like to see: "Four Lions"

Let me just say that I'd suicide bomb the shit out of a building if it meant I could have a guaranteed seat in the afterlife in the theater that is showing Chris Morris' Four Lions. Now that I've successfully placed myself on several Internet terrorist watch lists (yet again), I'd like to express how much I am looking forward to seeing this film, which is sure to be full of good terrorist jokes--unlike the one you just experienced. No, really! If anyone can make Jihad hilarious it's Chris Morris. His Channel 4 television show, Brass Eye will always will be one of the funniest things to grace a TV set, and to say that I am beside myself with anticipation waiting to see this film, is, if you will recall my opening sentence, an understatement. This film is sure to be an uproarious experience--but also one that will ask you to think differently about terrorism in contemporary times.

Four Lions tells the compelling story of a bunch of British Jihads who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, they stumble from misapprehension to cock-up in a dangerous, hilarious but emotionally engaging and entirely plausible farce.  Get excited with the clip below!

Four Lions screens on Saturday, March 20th at 7:00pm at the Paramount Theater.
