Nothing can replace the Big Screen in terms of excitement, magic and bigness. But we have noticed something odd. No chickens.
Sharks, horses, monkeys, turtles, dolphins, Jeez Louise even Ants have had films made about them. But Chickens? Only Chicken Run. No chicken road movies, chicken lurve, no chicken coming of age stories, not even a chicken in a war movie. Chick flick? me arse. A poultry effort.
Until now – Black Chicken Down
Ridley Scott’s powerful drama set in the mean streets of Mogadishwasher. Can Chopper Chicken rescue the soldiers trapped in this hell hole?

“The most realistic portrayal of chickens in war I have ever seen” – The Delaware Doubter
“Chopper Chicken is already a movie legend” – The Sydney Morning Glory

Can this be a mere oversight? I think not, I smell plot.
You smell right
From the title, I was worried that this once-wholesome family blog had fallen under the spell of smut purveyors, but I see this is just violence and killing, probably with only minimal sex.
Carry on.
Thank you Guap – nice to,hear from you – we run a clean ship on HMS Ginger
Great to hear from you Guap – rest assured we run a clean ship on The Good Ship Ginger
I watched a film the other night called ‘Choking the Chicken’ or it might have been called ‘The Last Chicken in the Butchers’. Can’t remember. Shit-faced. The n, not now. Not at all.
Not at all!
Skiddley Rott does it again! I hope there are plenty of dumb clucks.
You’ll believe a chicken can fly!
Dammit I just have no wise ass comment for this…..you covered them all..ya bugger ya!
I’m sure you can come up with something!
You haven’t revealed who the black chicken went down on this time?
The Indian batsmen Ankur!
No wonder they are fighting to get back to the pavilion so fast
It might be too intense for me to watch on the big screen. I’ll hold out for the Netlix release!
A sensible course of action Debra!
I attended the premier … and The Times got the line from hearing me shout as I was leaving the theater.
I can see that happening
One has to believe chickens can fly! If we bring our hands together and clap really fast … hmmm…that might be a hen of a different breed.
I’m delighted to hear of this wonderful contribution to the ornithological oeuvre (oeuf?), but am a little concerned that there may have been some casting bias if only black-fleshed chickens like Silkies were allowed to audition for the title role. On the other hand, wider exposure for an under-appreciated dish, I mean group, like the Silkie could be beneficial. At the least, a nest-egg for a better future.
Absolutely!
