Trailer is just so cringey! And the lead man is actually wearing a woolly Aran jumper for the whole lot of it.

I agree Brillant, used to watch it all the time and then stopped for years. Watched the other week and it was better than i remember. I love the song they sing and all of the dancing!

Can you guys see a trailer there?
I'm just getting a white square.

Fantastic film to this day. Very little issue with the 'effects' too! All time great, but has made an image of Ireland that Americans believe to be true!

Do they actually make it to Dublin itself or do they end up in some little town in the country like f*cking ballinasloe !??

Zohan to the rescue.

All I can think of is the Kerrymaid ad - "Did ye miss the boat?"

P.S. given that there is fanfic for everything, does this mean there is someone who writes Kerrymaid ad fanfic, where Miss Kennedy and the mysterious French teacher use real butter in very naughty ways?

Haha i have no idea. i had to wait for a bus in a big winter jacket and hat. It was probably the hottest day of the year that day. I'll be sweating buckets in my scene when I should be freezing cos it'll be febuary

Met some of the crew and the main 'talent' in a boozer in Dublin city centre a few months ago. Yer man got a bit thick when asked to do his Irish accent. I can see why, tis shocking. :eek:

Does Amy Adams drink Guinness?

but...no....just no....it cant be! The driving journey from Cardiff to Dublin is 99% in wales...then 1% on the ferry then hoo ha you are in dublin. Takes about 8 hours! So wouldnt this movie be an "american picture card of Wales" and wouldnt it be no wonder "all americans think the welsh live in thatched roof houses" (incidentally I think they do!)

Still though...Amy Adams!
Addendum...Darby O Gill is an EPIC movie!

She land in Wales so presumable she's traveling through Wales for the bulk of the film. So why does everyone have Irish accents?
