I love that the human race managed to not only anger a *machine,* but literally make it sound depressed as it gives up at the futility

[@thatarse]

Ummmm, yeah. I mean, that’s kinda the point of this plot vehicle and a reason why this film is so funny.

6:27 Gary: “There’s more than one Gary King.” The Network: “But you said-“ Gary: “I FUCKING KNOW WHAT I FUCKING SAID!”

[@geneparmesan8748]

My favourite subtle joke in the whole sequence is when Gary says "To err is human, so... errrrrr." And then gives a victorious sort of shrug like he just made his point. Knowing how Edgar Wright writes his dialogue I'm sure it's an intentional joke but it's just SO understated that it has me wondering if I'm just looking at more things to laugh at.

[@thatarse]

@@geneparmesan8748 no, it’s a pretty obvious bit and use of dialogue vs you’re so clever

[@rakondite]

I was an extra in this scene - there was quite a bit more that was shot. This bit was filmed in a sewage pumping station in London. I can’t remember how many days it took.

[@asturianix9820]

Cool. Tell us more. Like, what else was shot?

[@rakondite]

@@asturianix9820 just after Gary King says “I was so beautiful”, there was another line: “I’d f**k me!” I guess they edited that line out as being too complex for the American audience/rating system. There was a more involved escape sequence that was handled by the 1st AD, and some extra bits of destruction. I was right next the guy who got hit by a breakaway piece of set, and I had to lean over the edge over the guard rail - I had no idea if it could take my weight.

[@ben_cena]

That's awesome, as an artist it would be a dream to collaborate with Edgar Wright, plus Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

[@Yeomannn]

@@rakondite What do you mean by too complex?

[@rakondite]

@@Yeomannn More dialogue and action. The bit that really stood out was a line that followed “I was so beautiful!”, the line that follows was “I’d f*** me!”, which was cut - presumably because it was considered too crude. There were more explosions and blanks hanging off the balcony. The stuntman next to me had a fall away bit of sit hit him, and I had to drop and lean/drape over a railing. Lots of fun. Cold, but fun.

[@homeslice2825]

Something hilarious to consider about this scene is the fact the network thinks Gary is actually the king of humanity 😂😂

[@asturianix9820]

He doesn't. His name is just Gary King, and he is referred as "Of the humans" to imply to which species he belongs. Yet ironically enough, it does sound as he is the king of humanity for representing everything that we are as a civilization: Flawed, self destructive, full of regrets, yet free and with a strong spirit.

[@homeslice2825]

@@asturianix9820You’re correcto. Absolutely missed that. Still unbelievable the network took the opinion of three drunk men seriously lol

[@asturianix9820]

@@homeslice2825 Remember that there were way more problems in all of the insertion points (there is more than one Gary King). This was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Those 3 guys were drunk, yet for that reason they were very honest, and bring good points about at harsh truth that the Network had refused to accept so far. Its a drunk argument taken to a galactic level. As Gary stated before "the feeling I could take on the whole universe".

I’ve just noticed after all these years the pause after he says “you have made your choice Gary, king of the humans” the network literally thinks Garry is the king of earth lol

[@IZEASGT]

Though at first he says "Gary King, of the humans". I like to think the second time, it's interpreting Gary as having claimed the right to represent Earth. (Though it later insists he doesn't have that right -- "Two DRUNK men!" -- so maybe not?)

tho I don't agree with most of the System's methods: like mulching human beings. but I do agree on some level: the System acts like a mature adult, but often forgets it's compassion for living beings. but the one thing I do agree with completely, most of humanity consists of people who're physically adults, but mentally still children. and the sad part is, that it's that kind of childish adults that have the power to change/control the world. while the mentally mature people are powerless to do anything about it. this powerlessness it eats at you, so I gave up, to prevent myself from losing it and it helped focus on myself, improving myself and living with my flaws.

Have you seen the film in full? All the other people have been replaced by robots which look like them. Starbucking is the replacement of something individual by something generic (as in local independent coffee shops being squeezed out by Starbucks). He may have meant the pubs which had lost their character become the basically same, or literally the people themselves being turned into robots.

[@planguy9575]

I disagree. It goes on just long enough. Gary starts of sort of floundering as the Network methodically explains it's goals and modus operandi, but he is defiant. Andy gets in on things and starts providing more precise criticism of the Networks plans. All three of them being drunk and belligerent throws the Network off its game and makes it flustered. The music builds while at first it seems like the group is just raging against an impossible to defeat foe but as they actually start winning the argument the music building represents them winning the argument. Ultimately the Network could bring Humanity into the Galactic Community, but only technically. The vast majority of Humanity would be mulched, as demonstrated by the three drunken and defiant fools the Network is currently arguing against. Seeing as that goes against the entire point of what the Network is trying to do it gives up, and the Three Musketeers win.
