Feb 08th, 2011 - 07:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why? I'm sure it'd be an interesting role for her to play. You might have your problems with lady Thatcher but that doesn't mean it'll be a bad part or a bad idea for Meryl Streep to play it. I reckon she'll do a fine job.
yes, i'm sure she'll do just fine, she is a great actress. She is only missing an eyepatch and a parrot in her shoulder, there the personification would be superb!!
Feb 08th, 2011 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The futile Malvinas oil drilling costs could be compensated

Feb 09th, 2011 - 12:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Much as I hate to break this to you Marcos......but I'm afraid that that photo that did the rounds in the RG press in 82 was manipulated to include the eyepatch and such.....I'm so very sorry to be the one to let you know about that after all these years.
;-))
Just incase Argentinian posters didn't know. This film is before the falklands, and has nothing to do with the war.
Feb 09th, 2011 - 10:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0The revenues will not be going to the islands.
This is not a political maneuver.
This is not a conspiricy.
Hope that clears somethings up. I know anyone with common sence will know this but many, many Argentinian posters are severely lacking in this department
“ The Tin Lady”
Feb 09th, 2011 - 11:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just be careful how much you degrade this fine lady, remember she embarressed your whole nation in a one sided conflict against the odds.
The more you degrade her the more you degrade your own country.
I think this fine woman deserves an english actress to represent her. I'm not going to discuss about politics, just want to express that England have the right to be represented by their own people in a film with so much to tell.
Feb 09th, 2011 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0oh my god... will be interesting to see how she plays the iron Lady who envisaged a UK without its imperial swagger anymore thus saving our arses - but didn't give a monkey's about thousands of UK miners losing their jobs or being clubbed by cops ... but hey, its only a movie i guess
Feb 09th, 2011 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0every Argentine should go see this movie and bring dog feces from the park to decorate the theatre sits, carpets, walls, and ceilings with this movie we can make everything smell like europids..

Feb 09th, 2011 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0it's not a big deal now americans playing british people and vise versa. it happens all the time now. Most of the massive US superhero films are now played by British actors and most people don't even seem to realise.
I: Blinded by hate, as usual. I feel pity for you.

15 If anyone is to blame for the demise of deep coal mining in the UK then look no further than Arthur Scargill. I had a great deal of sympathy for the Miners and regret the devastation the destruction of this once great industry. Scargill was a poor leader who started the strike when coal stocks were high, managed to split a once solid Union and misused Union funds. Perhaps Mrs Thatcher had determined on this course but Scargill made it easy for her.
Feb 10th, 2011 - 09:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Um, where is the eye patch?

Feb 11th, 2011 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0we could soon see a duplicate of that in Argentina with the their unions and Cristina Kirchner.
Wonder who could play her in a movie....Jocelyn Wildenstein perhaps.
19. Like you suggest 'Mrs Thatcher had determined on this course...' is pretty much correct. She was adopting the US strategy of destroying the power of unions, which was business driven. That was certainly not any miners fault. Sure, Scargill was a bit of a knob, with not allowing that crucial vote to strike or not in the midst of the fight. But ask a miner what he thinks of Margaret Thatcher. You sure as hell won't find any streets named after her in former mining towns...
Feb 11th, 2011 - 06:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is the pirate talking. First let me say to the people of Little Britain it is a pleasure now that you have now become British and forgone the name Argentina and you are now beginning to speak the language of all great nations.
Feb 15th, 2011 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You will find now that you have become British that this will be one of the best things that have happened to you for a long time. We are endeavoring to bring down inflation something that in the past has always eluded you.
You will also find that we let Americans play the parts of some of our finest hero's, and I urge you all to watch this film when it comes out. You will also find that Mrs Thatcher never wore that eye patch, that was a propaganda stunt by your former country's Government.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN .
