Watched BBC news this morning and they were talking about Robbie Williams’ new video with Gary Barlow. However, even though they showed part of it, and it was hugely clear it was a spoof of Brokeback Mountain – no-one actually MENTIONED this on the show. *blinks*

Very clever, and there will be a huge stink about it and frankly I don’t care. Fuck you, I like this.

I like it, and I'm not a huge fan of Williams. However, they could have snogged!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I think they must have done, they just cut it out.

There's definitely a bit where they're at the bar and it looks like they've cut just before the snog... or is that just my over-active imagination?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

imagination? us? re slash? never!

[tiggothy.livejournal.com]

oh good grief, I just realised...
I'm slashing Take That people
*headdesk headdesk headdesk*

Oh that's brilliant! Tongue in cheek, of course, and capable of being interpreted in lots of different ways. I love how Robbie's sucking his gut in.

Robbie's done this sort of thing before. This always makes me tear up a tiny bit.

Yes - I was giggling as he was running AND holding his stomach in...

[tiggothy.livejournal.com]

Made me giggle too!

Tulip (I think) the news lady talking to Sara Cox on Radio One just said about the video and it's links to Brokeback Mountain after playing clips from the interview this morning.

It's awesome; a very good video and I like the song too. Though, where does the Toys'R'Us thing come from?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

It's just Gary complaining about Robbie's enormous poster on the wall of Toys R Us (could have used any wall, but it had to rhyme with bus, I suppose!!)

ROFL! Brilliant!

Too good not to share with my flist...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I was surprised to see it up so early, tbh.

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

I found it most delightful. Especially since it confused Chris Moyles so much. ;)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Well, that doesn't take much...

[tiggothy.livejournal.com]

Most amusing :-)

Watching the vid though made me realise why I never liked Take That when I was younger (I was part of the 'TT generation' being around 12-15 when they were big in the charts, and I was the only girl in my year who didn't fancy at least one of them...). They were too young! Now they're middle-aged and a bit wrinkly round the edges they're kind of cute, lol.

Oh dear. Think I've just realised why most of my m/m characters are at least in their late-20s (the exception being the student-boys)... *headesk*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I was just the same, only I was about 20 years older than you... but now I can think - Yes, they look a bit rough, they might be available. LOL!

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Most fun indeed.

That's a version for overseas people to watch. I think the youtube one must be tied to UK IPs. My friends in the states and Germany haven't been able to see it.

excellent!

[cerisaye.livejournal.com]

It's a hoot and very well executed, good luck to them!!!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i agree--the little touches from the film were all there--i wish theyd filmed it in Stoke or somewhere though!!
