The Iron Lady
 

Is anyone else really psyched to see this?

I think Meryl is an awesome choice for Thatcher. I'm as near as I've ever been to excited!

pass!

i would watch a film about Reagan and Gorbachev, though

I am super excited for this!

If it presents Thatcher in a remotely positive light, I'll hate it. I'll probably see it anyway, but I'm way too biased to enjoy a film about Thatcher that does anything but mock her.

Whys that?

Well, maybe my 'I HATE CONSERVATIVES' side hasn't really shown that much here, but I consider Thatcherism a political blight on humanity.

Are you English?

I have a tough time going across the pond on politics because your conservatives and our conservatives are wildly different.

Haha, your democrat party is more conservative than our conservative party!

It's got Richard E Grant and Jim Broadbent in it - I'm totally gonna see this

I'm very interested in seeing this. The casting is fantastic.

This perfectly summarizes my feelings for that horrible excuse for a human being.

Another Mancunian! We really are an awesome city.

Is the film a celebration, a mocking or a 'you decide what you think of Thatcher' type of film? I haven't read up on any of it so I can't form any opinions but what I will say is that the working class of Britain in the 80's are still feeling the effects of the bitch so it is understandable if many of us will approach this film with trepidation and even a modicum of hate and disgust.
