BRITISH MOVIES NEED TRAILERS TOO
06.06.08
After the jump I’ve got the trailer for British film Boy A (not to be confused with Radiohead album "Kid A," or Jenna Haze classic Straight to the A).
Based on the award winning novel of the same name by Jonathan Trigell, Jack (Andrew Garfield) is released from prison at the age of 24, having been institutionalized for most of his life after he and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children. The film follows Jack’s difficult attempts to readjust to the world outside of confinement and restart a life which never really got going. [RT]
If they made a movie about me, it’d have to be called Boy X because I’m so extreme. You can tell by the way I play Wii with sunglasses on.
Also available in hi-def at Apple

Not to be confused with the Flava Flav film, Boy E.
Wait, he killed a child?
So what the fuck did they lock him up for?
Are you sure it’s not pronounced BOYAH?
looks kind of good. Maybe he finds Red and Andy on the beach.
It would be better though if instead of being released he escaped after digging a tunnel through his Naked Brothers Band poster.
i dont think BOYAH is gonna be any good at all, why bother making a movie if nothings gonna explode or theres not gonna be any tits shown?
He had a fifi for a security blanket.
Do romance explosions count bex?
PRISS! Dear sweet Priss.
<insert (hehe) Asian "priss" book joke here.
I wonder how long it took Boyah to figure out that toothbrushes were for more than just stabbin’.
The Mexican version of this film would be titled GoyA.
Laying in bed quite frustrated Boyah thinks, How am I supposed to masturbate with out people crying and other screaming "SHUT UP BABY! DADDY"S ALMOST DONE"?
Stuart Scott Presents: Booya!
Eating an Oreo one day, Boyah had a flashback to that one time in the shower with Tyree and Luther. He pulled apart the cookie screaming, "Never Again!"
Boyah got enraged whan he had company over who needed to use the restroom and they pissed in his pruno.
Confusion reigns at Boyah’s new job, when he is awarded a watch as top salesman for the month of August and, in front of everybody, promptly places the watch in his "Prison Pocket" for safekeeping.
Boyah held up the line at the post office by feeding over one hunddred dollars into the stamp machine. "They are all right here! As many as I want! Weeeee!" he exclaimed.
Boyah goes hungry and confused one night because the butcher wouldn’t take a pack of cigarettes in trade for a steak.
Boyah continues to play Spades in this post, even though there’s a new Dark Knight video up.
Not realizing that cigarettes are not legal tender, Boyah is given a citation for vandalism for clogging up the coin slot in the Pepsi machine at the Motel 6.
Fuck! keyHo beat me to the punch in the prison cliche-off.
That’s why I’m the co-host and you’re the C-Dog.
Now, come into the warm new post, we have hot pockets there.
What is it with all these trailers in foreign languages.
SPEAK ENGLISH!
all he wanted was a dress made of skin like all boys want
Uhh, sorry to seem so serious but this is actually based on a true story. The murder of James Bulger who was about two when 2 ten year old boys killed him and left him on a train line. They were locked up and released when they were like 18 I think. Given new identities. The press even ran a campaign to track them down. Presumably to get them murdered! So yeah… this was on TV a year or two ago. Big big controvesy, giving the murderers sympathetic treatment blah blah blah….
I’m definitely seeing this. From the same folks who did Intermission… the Irish Trainspotting minus the heroin.
Here comes the fun!!!!
I remember hearing about this story about 5 years ago. Possibly the most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard. The two boys took a toddler from his mom at a mall, while she was standing in line, they threw rocks at him, hit him and cut him while walking along a train track. A few people saw them and the kids lied and said it was their little brother. They came to a stop, and shoved batteries in his mouth, anus, and cut the tip of a few fingers off, then put him on the tracks and layed bricks on him, so he couldn’t get up, and would get run over by a train. He was dead when they found him. I can understand why people would be so pissed about someone doing this, and then being able to go back to a normal life. I mean, if you can do this at such a young age, you obviously have severe mental issues and should be monitored constantly. I know online, they have pictures of the boys on a security camera holding James’s hand, like a big brother. James is so cute, with a big coat on, happily walking along, about to be tortured to death. I cannot even imagine how scared he was… Awesome, my first comment and it’s depression fest 98.
The only movie I want to see about these two fucks, is them getting skull fucked by a mastodon. Oh poor me, I slaughtered a two year old and people are being poopy towards me..boo fucking hoo freak show..
i’m way fucking late for this one, but yes, there are tits.
This isn’t strictly about the horrifying Bulger murder but any fiction "inspired" by that event is on dubious ground, no matter how noble the intentions. This couldn’t be anything other than painful to watch. I’ll pass. Oh and Jesus, iamfuck, whoever said "God is in the details" needs to read your post. God took that day off.
"This couldn’t be anything other than painful to watch. I’ll pass."
Wide of the mark, it’s tactfully and sensitvely done. Plus it’s very, very good.
Somebody’s post isn’t showing for no reason. "Wide of the mark, it’s tactfully and sensitvely done. Plus it’s very, very good". The artistic merit wasn’t being questioned, it’s just that sometimes, maybe watching a Marx Brothers movie might be more life affirming than a story that echoes an infanticide that traumatised the national psyche.
