Despite the saturation coverage that In The Loop has received in the broadsheet press in recent weeks, the film itself seems to be suffering a curiously low profile, with both Vue and Odeon apparently not carrying it. It’s a baffling decision- the politics are hardly controversial, and the independent cinemas running Armando Ianucci’s masterpiece are being mobbed, with many showings completely sold out. For those having to wait for a seat, you might find temporary solace in the distilled pit bull’s Guardian column on the recent smears scandal:

This is utterly, pant wettingly exciting news as anyone who's watched The Thick of It will attest.
That's all I have to say about that right now.
