Cool. How do you find this stuff?
I wait for people to say on Twitter, then tell everyone else like I knew all along.
(Simon Blackwell twittered it)

Maybe Twitter is worth the effort then. 
Probably not. I'm filtering all the crap for you lot

I don't see Roseanne in David Rasche's imdb credits. "I can't stand to see a woman bleed from the mouth. It reminds me of that Country & Western music which I cannot abide."
. . .
David Rasche was the awesome Sledge Hammer (sometimes I wish I could be 11 years old again)! Martin Mull was Roseanne's boss.
I'm just about to start reading the screenplay; I know the film itself definitely deserves an Oscar.
Also, was just searching through my Twitter inbox and had somehow forgotten to print off this message from Simon Blackwell and stick it to my wall:
"Some nice, funny turns of phrase in the newsletter. Keep at it."
For reference, that script is here too, in case one of them disappears when someone reads this thread in ten years' time: http://www.raindance.org/site/picture/upload/image/general/movies/in_the_loop.pdf

Is it 'cos it's a TV spin off . . ? Maybe . . ?
One thing I liked a lot was Steve Coogan's little character; very funny.

On BBC Two tonight at 10pm, if anybody needed reminding.

I hated Steve Coogan's character. Or maybe just his acting. Terrible, really could have done without it - or, yes, probably him.
Anyway, very funny for the most part. A handful of bits didn't make sense, and I'm lost as to why the characters couldn't have been all the same, but it wasn't half bad. Very enjoyable.
I quite liked Steve Coogan's character. The wall thing was obviously essential to (part of) the plot but it painted a nice picture of the scale of what Simon had to deal with.
Tom Hollander is an actor of great genius. No-one does understated as well.
