Total Film Office Talk

  • Dan: What are we listening to? I want to put it on Tumblr.
  • Matt: (Mumbles) Warbor.
  • Dan: What?
  • Matt: They're from the Lake District I think.
  • Dan: Yes, but what are the called?
  • Matt: Warbor
  • Dan: WAR-BOR?
  • Kathryn: Wild Beasts!
  • Dan: Thank you. I couldn't hear a word of that. He was mumbling. I thought I was watching True Grit again.
  • Kathryn: So you're saying Matt sounds like Jeff Bridges? Is that an insult?
  • Matt: Yeah, they're from Kendal, in the Lake District. Like the mint cake.

Total Film Office Talk

  • Dan: So I went to the Apple store to get my iPod fixed. Biggest shit storm ever.
  • Kathryn: Did they fix it?
  • Dan: No, they offered me an appointment tomorrow, but I wasn't standing there tomorrow, I was stood there then. They practically talked to me in a baby voice. Condescending bastards.
  • Kathryn: Didn't you make an appointment online first?
  • Dan: No, because Virgin Media decided to turn off my internet connection for two weeks over the holiday period, a time when I would be at home a lot and need to use the internet there. 'Sorry for the inconvenience' they said. I'll inconvenience them, the set of pricks.
  • Kathryn: That's terrible.
  • Dan: Yeah, so happy new year anyway, glad to be back.

Sam: How much do I not want to open an email with the subject line: ‘The Last Exorcism - Sexy Christmas Tree’

(If it turns out to be a LOL we’ll post it for you!)

Total Film Office Glossary; Borneo

Adjective. - Used to describe a person, action or object that is very cool, impressive or outstanding, when ‘cool’, ‘awesome’ or ‘epic’ are considered too mainstream to describe it. An open dig at ‘Hipster cool’ jargon - taking a word that means nothing out of context and using it as your cool word.

Examples;

‘That Keyboard Cat t-shirt is well Borneo.’

‘That electro band I saw last night before you were proper Borneo.’

In the Total Film office...

  • (Sam is wearing a keyboard cat t-shirt to the gym).
  • Dan: Nice t-shirt.
  • Sam: Thanks.
  • Dan: You look like you’re on an exchange programme from East London
  • Sam: Well, it is epic.
  • Dan: Correct. Epic fail.

Total Film Office Glossary; Muttley

Verb. (Muttleyed, Muttleys) - To Muttley means to find something so funny you can only respond with a strained wheeze, making your laugh sound like the character from Wacky Races;

Examples;

‘Awesome, that made me Muttley’

‘I enjoyed it so much I Muttleyed’

‘He Muttleys every time he sees it’

In the Total Film office...

  • (Matt went to see Family Guy - It's A Trap yesterday)
  • Dan: How was Family Guy, Matt?
  • Matt: It was good yeah. Same as the other two, what you'd expect. I was really tired though...
  • Dan: So go on then, give us a three word review.
  • Matt: A three word sentence?
  • Dan: Three single words that sum up the experience.
  • Matt: Er... 'I. Was. Asleep'

In the Total Film office…

Dan: Do you like glow sitcks, Matt?
Matt: Yeah, I love them.
Dan: Really?
Matt: Yeah, they’re great at festivals. I always get loads, clip them all over my clothing.
Dan: Why, so your friends can find you in the crowd?
Matt: Yeah, it’s really good for that. Except everyone else is covered in glowsticks too, so it doesn’t really work.

The brilliance of Bottom. Just because…

Total Film Office Talk

Andy: Matt, do you ever think, ‘Things were better in the past’?
Matt: Not really. You should focus on the future instead of things that have already happened.
Andy: Exactly. Always be moving forwards.
Matt: Yeah… Unless you’re doing the moonwalk.
