Of course the BFG is on BBC right now. Like every year. ;)
I've always thought that it was a pretty nice fantasy tale up until they went to meet the queen. After that I found it getting stupid quick. Who the heck cares about the British queen? And why did they even allow the girl to come along when capturing the rest of the giants? That was quite a dangerous situation.
@Pat Yeah, those giants sure stuck to their big fucking guns. Oh wait, they didn't. I guess that's why they got beaten.
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about BBC, though. :P
I never heard of the Big Friendly Giant film before. Maybe it's a UK thing or maybe I'm just too old.
Yeah, I know what BBC is, but just for fun...
BBC = Billionaire Boys Club
@Pat BFG is actually a fairly well known tale. In Dutch it's actually called the GVR. :D
I'm reading about it just now...
The book was published in 1982, the film 1989, way past my time of an age to be concerned with children's stories.
@Pat Yeah, there's an old drawn animation from 1989, I've watched it a long time ago. But there's also this fancy new computer animated one from 2016:

Which is the one that's been showing for the past few years now during Xmas time.

BFG = Big Fucking Gun
