A local dad has today spoken to The Advocate about the palpable wave of excitement coursing through his body.
Speaking to our reporter from aisle 44 of the Betoota Heights Bunnings while he browsed for a new tool he doesn’t need, 66-year-old Cecil Chambers said he hasn’t been this excited for a movie for a while.
The movie responsible for making his amygdala pulsate like a cane toad on a wet summer’s night, is the latest installment of the famous Naked Gun Franchise.
“Mate, if the new Naked Gun is a millimetre of the calibre of the original, then we’ll be laughing,” confirmed Cecil after taking a break from chewing the ear off some team member at Bunnings.
“I don’t mind that Liam Neeson. You could even say I’m quite TAKEN by him,” he chuckled about the actor taking the role of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr – the son of the famous Lt. Frank Drebin.
“So yeah, keen to see if he’s much chop stepping into some pretty sizeable shoes,” continued the man who still thinks the ‘nice beaver’ gag is the greatest comedic line in history.
“It’s an exciting milestone in tough times.”
“I don’t know if you understand the enormity of the situation.”
Cecil’s eagerness comes as the franchise returns after a 31-year hiatus, with Frank Drebin Jr. on the hook to solve a murder or watch the police department get shut down.
“Mate, 31 years is a long time between drinks.”
“It’s a full-blown choc top, large popcorn and full-strength soft drink kind of occasion.”
“You know we used to get soft drink once a year when I was growing up,” continued Cecil launching into his next tangent, and effectively ending the conversation.
