Will you be watching Taffin this evening?

Simonigs1.0

TG4 at 11:45.

An Irish classic, and IMO the film that put Brosnan on the map, so to speak. Everyone I have ever known hasn't ever heard of this theatrical brilliance and I don't know why.

I've been strongly considering it. Wicklow, perhaps..

The Backwards Man

Remington Steele put Brosnan on the map.

It did not, although Brosnan won't recognise Taffin for some reason, he never responds to my tweets.

Nice one, I've never managed to catch it since Adam and Joe took Taffin to a (slightly) bigger audience

Damn Joe Cornish & his Hollywood career, that 6 Music show was pure gold.

Always preferred Whole Nut or at a push, Dairy Milk..

Birneybau

What goes on in my house is none of your business.

The second one had me laughing out loud in the office while listening to Adam and Joe.

I remember Taffin but The Backwards Man speaks the truth.

I may watch Taffin later.

Nah, I'm going to Carrickmacross to see a mate I haven't seen in a few years who's home for Christmas. God. Help. Me.

The Taffin re-enactment, 80's desolate Irish town.

FunLover18

I have heard of the brilliance but yet to witness it myself. I have it set to record.

Until there's only 2 hours left

Birneybau

Oh yeah, one of the main thugs is Bela from 'Fair City'. Also, a lot of Father Ted actors pop up including 2 out of 3 from the Craggy Island parochial house. It's a classic!

chicorytip

Does Alison Doody get her kit off in this?
Might be worth a look.

Yes, its absolutely awesome.

Pierce Brosnan makes my skin crawl

Dolbert

Twink as a hot biker chick. Bela from Fair City as the baddie. A strip club in 80s rural Ireland. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE. Taffin has it all!

Skid X

It's Taffin o'clock (TG4 now).

Simonigs1.0

Yeeeeeeeeeah!

:cool:

The Backwards Man

Remember the spoilers folks, some of us are recording this for when we come home from the pub.




On Wednesday.

RayM

Wicklow Town looked awful back then.

And it still does.

Skid X

How have I never seen this before? it's epic.

Simonigs1.0

Yeah!

Kick their asses Taffin!

Birneybau

Alison's got nice Doodys.

Skid X

I'd say Trent would be a fan of Taffin.

take everything

So much product placement it's insane

RayM

I'm only watching this because I'm familiar with the locations. That hardware shop is in Greystones, and also appears in the background of the cinema scene in Father Ted.
