That’s not good.
It’s not great, either.
It’s actually more like friggin’ fantastic!
The London Paper is running a promotion on Monday to win tickets to the world premiere of the Boat That Rocked that night (Monday 23rd March)!
Wait, wait – there’s a catch (there always is – competitions are like marriages):
YOU HAVE TO TURN UP IN 1960’s FANCY DRESS!
Now that’s typical – if there’s one thing I have plenty of, then it’s 1960’s style dresses. Alas, I’m not in London, so you’ve got one person less standing in your way. Or take pictures of you while you’re not looking and then posting them on the internet.
Just in case you’re in doubt what 1960’s clothes looked like:
Talulah Riley as Marianne
Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Count
Rhys Ifans as Gavin
Tom Sturridge as Carl
Kenneth Branagh as Minister Dormandy
Bill Nighy as Quentin
Nick Frost as Dave
Is that you, Gemma Atterton? If yes, you're playing Desiree.
Rhys Darby as Angus
Chris O'Dowd as Simon
If you want to go for “cool” rather than “colourful to the point of ouch”, I’d suggest the following look, though:
Damian O'Hare - not in the movie, but looking mighty fine in 1960's garb.
There’s also an official MySpace page for “The Boat That Rocked” – quizzes, trailers, behind-the-scenes videos, playlist, news, competitions and lots of other things.
TAKE ME TO THE SOFT, WHITE UNDERBELLY OF THE INTERNET MYSPACE!
Have a lot of fun, lucky winners of premiere tickets! And everybody else watching the movie as well!
Been to the premiere? Or seen the movie some other day? Let us know what you thought of it – no matter if you loved “The Boat That Rocked” or hated it. Leave a message, send a mail, release a pigeon. Messages in a bottle are also welcome.
