After the jump, Meryl Streep rocks her best Blue Steel as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. I don’t know much about history, but it seems like Iron Mike would’ve kicked her ass. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, broads just don’t have the upper-body strength. Anyway, blah blah pearls, accents, hats, a stiff upper lip, the Falklands War — it’ll probably win an Oscar if it’s any good at all, because if there’s one thing Oscar voters love, it’s boring-ass old British farts politicking. OI, GUV, DE OL’ BIRD’S GOT A MASTAH’S TOUCH WIFF DA TORIES, SHE DOES, BUT IF DA MISSUS FANNY DON’T SNOG DA COMMON PUNTAHS, DA BARRISTAH WON’ FOX ‘UNT.
They wanted her to ditch the pearls, but she wouldn’t! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. This comes from Mamma Mia director Phyllida Lloyd and opens December 16th, just in time for Oscar season. How are Imogen Poots and Benedict Cumberbatch not in it? Travesty.




Margaret Thatcher earned that pearl necklace with determination and an overbite, there’s no way she should have to give them up.
I assume the title refers to her unyielding hymen. 100′s of men and it stands strong, just like her reforms.
How are Imogen Poots and Benedict Cumberbatch not in it?
Same thing could be asked of Skyline Chili.
I tried to watch this trailer just so I could mock it. Instead I was fixated on the TV/VCR (DVD?) thing behind the limey lemon party. That’s not right.
I say we test the academy by casting The Stath as Churchill in something.
you misspelled falcklands, the correct way is Malvinas.
***Spoiler Alert!!***
At the film’s climax she gets in a van with the word ‘Economy’ written on the side and drives that sum bitch right-the-fuck off the cliffs of Dover.
The music is from Moon, if anyone else thought that shit was unfitting yet familiar.
If we’re making movies about deeply unpopular and ineffective political leaders of the postwar era, I’d better get cracking on my screenplay for Jimmy Carter: At Lease He’s Not Gerald Ford.
I blame that typo on the malaise of my subject.
I’m disappointed that it’s not the lady version of Iron Man.
Or the British equivalent of Steel Magnolias.
“I say, old girl, the only thing that separates us from the animals is tea time.”
I gave my Iron Lady a pearl necklace once, and now her husband tells me I need to take my shirts to a new dry cleaner.
