The return of Lydia's Juicy Burger!


 
 
'Toto, I've got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore’
By Marc Kermod

So in a departure from the normal Rock ‘n’ Roll nonsense that Destroya get up to when they meet up to record some tracks, last Friday the Boys popped into the Thorpe recording studios to discuss a commission to record the new soundtrack for the up coming Blockbuster ‘The Instigator’. The semi autobiographical story of Scud Crater.

Originaly scheduled for June 2013, the movie has been moved to the family friendly pre-Christmas slot of 12th December.  A cast including Megan Fox as the wife, Zac Effron as the Son, Jessica Alba as the daughter, with Samuel L Jackson as Ammo Dump, Daniel Day Lewis as Soakie Vest, Gerrard Butler as Marc Virtual Dildo, Timmy Mallett as Nicky Domefur and Vince Vaughn as Scud Crater.
Guest  stars to include Lionel Blair, Denzel Washington, Ray Winston, The female cast members of Geordie Shore,  Dustin Hoffman, Ant but not Dec,  Daniel Craig, Uma Thurman, Kurstin Dunst, Charlieze Theron and Warrick Davies.

In order to get into the whole movie soundtrack thing, they decided to meet up and find out which movies they liked and which they could draw inspiration from in order to produce an award winning soundtrack as well as writing a potential song to win the Oscar© for’ best original song’. 

The mood was lightened by the fact that Lydia has come back to the Red Lion and was offering her juicy burger to nibble on to any one fancied it.  Naturally, as befits Rock Gods, they all devoured this offer and it was Soakie who commented that whilst Sarah’s and Chrissie’s burger where indeed very lovely, it was good to get his lips around Lydia’s again.

So what where the movies the boys liked?
In the category for 1900 – 1969

Scud: ‘The Pink Panther’
Soakie: ‘Carry on Screaming’
MVD: ‘ 12 Angry Men’
Ammo: ‘It’s a wonderful life’
Domefur: ‘From Russia with Love’


 As always the first option when there is deadlock, is to seek the opinion of the waitress. The pained look was all we need to know.  She had not heard of any of the films! Domefur then remembered that whilst he loved Bond and ‘From Russia with Love’ is the best of all the Bonds, he had developed a severe allergy to all things Moscow.  He bottled it and said he would step aside and choose ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ as the winner.

 

1970 – 1979.

Scud: ‘Star Wars’
Soakie: ‘Young Frankenstein’
MVD: ‘Apocalypse Now’
Ammo: ‘Apocalypse Now’
Domefur: ‘The Godfather’

Star Wars - Original Trailer

 In accordance with the Internationally calibrated rules of Destroya competitions, duplicate answers mean those entries are disqualified.  As Ammo was still hitchhiking back from the G8 summit in Ireland and had phoned in his answers, it was left to Dildo to pronounce the genre changing and ground breaking  ‘Star Wars’ as film of the decade.

 1980 -1989

Scud: ‘The Shinning’
Soakie: ‘This is Spinal Tap’
MVD: ‘Raiders of the lost Ark’
Ammo: ‘Blade Runner’
Domefur: ‘Highander’


 With no duplicates and no one willing to submit that their entries where not as good as Highlander, and with the waitress already failing to offer any meaningful contribution except ‘Do you want any extra sauces’ , meant that for the first time this evening the it was declared a tie.

 1990 – 1999

 

Scud: ‘Happy Gilmore’
Soakie: ‘The Bone Collector’
MVD: ‘Pulp Fiction’
Ammo: ‘Love Field’ (I know, nobody else had heard of it either. It was Crater who mentioned that it must be a film starring Michelle Pfeiffer or a young Kirstin Dunst, (in which case Dump’s picture would be placed  high up on the wall of the Operation Yew tree incident room).
Domefur: ‘Jurassic Park’


With the waitress now unable to offer anything other than do you want to see the desert menu, (no lumpy bumpy pudding on offer today) it was another tie 

2000 – Present

 

Scud: ‘Inglorious Basterds’
Soakie: ‘Paul’
MVD: ‘End of watch’
Ammo: ‘The Lord of the Rings, Return of Thomas Crapper’
Domefur: ‘Shrek’


Again with no winners, the boys will fight to the death to decide the winner.


The Wild Card

Scud: ‘Goldmember’
Soakie: ‘Start the revolution without me’
MVD: ‘The Godfather’
Ammo: ‘Being There’
Domefur: ‘Life of Brian’


In light of the Decades with no winner, and the fact their where not enough rules and boundaries for MVD’s liking, the boys will meet over the summer and revisit this idea with no decade rules but simply their favourite in each movie genre. Drama, Action, Thriller, Foreign Language, Documentary, Musical, Comedy and of course Skin Flick/Jazz movie
