I attended a special screening the other day at the Cans Festival.
I saw a wonderful film about interracial relationships starring a can of apricots and a tin of sardines. It was called The Opener.
It followed the usual format of can meets tin, can loses tin and then finally, can gets tin. The canned laughter and canned boos only add to the whole experience.
However there is a rather shocking scene right at the end when their sardicot offspring work out how to open their own cans and run around the screen completely naked. I thought it was rather gratuitous …… and a little messy. Anyway, I can thoroughly recommend it but would suggest you walk out immediately after the marinating scene.

(Would one have sardicots on toast, or with lamb a la Morrocan tagine? Lo,TG Ed.)

All sounds a bit fishy to me…
A Fish Called My Mind Wandered – another brilliant film!!
A sardine loses track and ends up in a chocolate cake only to be saved at the last minute by Heston Blumenthal and Rick Stein …… a similar story line to Saving Private Bream ……..
The Codfather was rather good too…in fact it was brill. I also enjoyed The Shawshark Redemption, Reservoir Dogfish and 2001: A Plaice Odyssey.
I thought Indiana Jones and the Last Crustacean was a bit feeble though….
I’m getting a headache now …….
I don’t know Diane, Indiana Jones and the Last Crustacean did take some time before you could crack through that tough shell at the outset, there were some really meaty parts that made up for all the effort expended.
Please don’t encourage her ……
I think the award has got to go to A Fish Called Rwanda. I nearly drowned in the tears (shed by everyone in the theatre) at the scale of devastation depicted.
Brilliant film!!!! – the real one that is of course ….
I often add anchovies to my tagine, sardines wouldn’t be such a big stretch.
Pilchards in my ice cream is a totally different matter
there’s a difference between a sardine and an anchovy? sadly, they all
smelllook alike to me…There’s a wonderful paste over here called Gentleman’s Relish made from anchovies ……. a thin skim on toast is wonderful …….
Anchovies and sardines? So yummy. But sardicots? The Opener sounds pretty tasteless to me.
The opening was good though ….. the red carpet was made of ketchup ……
I suppose, compared to that awful film where every scene was just nothing but oozing canoli… this one doesn’t sound all that bad. I tell you, that ‘Cans’ festival has gotten trashy… and I mean really trashy… allowing in that canoli film was just plain old food porn. You could hardly call what those canoli do acting… at least ‘The Opener’ had some semblance of a story.
…. and what’s more, a CLASSIC story ….. according to Liza Minnelli ……….
Good to hear you’ve been able to tear yourself away from that gingernut porn, keep it up.
I’ve just discovered we have more than one cupboard ………
I wonder how interracial relationships can be represented by cans…. At least use crayons.
Purple and green I suggest.
Well, one is a flattish can and a bit squarish and the other is a regular type one …… oh, I’m struggling here ….. I’ll go and fetch some paint or something …….. poo
I wandered in looking for a content adult ……but came across some weird S&M post … Sardines crammed in a tin and apricots halved in their own juices… *shudder*
Ohhhhhh the depravity !!!!!!! – ooooerrrrr matron! – it’ll be melons and salami next ……..
you is depraved down souff melons and salami!! next you will be taking our black puddings with plump dumplings !!!!!
I’ll have a depraved black puddin’ with plump dumplings any day – - -
How about a bit of food for Gertrude. He is beginning to look famished.
