Great Rik Mayall documentary on BBC Four right now.









Oh, and apparently football’s coming home. :pac:

Ol' Donie

Watching football all night, but I noticed RTE are showing Philomena again.

One of those films you like to watch over and over, I guess.

Like Happy Gilmore.

Ah not really, but still what am I supposed to do this evening, do they expect me to entertain myself or something, suppose RTE's montage will have to do till the withdrawals wear off

Yeah, the barren wastelands of MidSummer don't offer much on the schedules


I see The Krays film 'Legend' is on Film4 tonight at 9pm, I don't think I've seen it

I love how the poster incorporates lots of Four Star and Five Star reviews ... and the best part being that they took a Two Star review from The Guardian and made it look like a big endorsement

https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2015/sep/09/legend-review-movie-marketing-false-advertising

I didn’t really care for Tom Hardy’s Krays biopic Legend. In my two star review, I called it “disappointingly shallow” and “cartoonish”. I then made the seemingly-safe assumption that Studio Canal, the film’s UK distributor, probably wouldn’t be laminating my work and calling me for a quote.

But in a stroke of brazen genius, the marketing department tasked with selling the shoddy true crime tale decided to embrace the mediocrity of my review and found a devious solution. Note: focus between the ears.

It is very well done, and the chatter about the poster gave the film lots of free publicity. Genius.

On Friday there's a full repeat of this years LLS Country Music Special

It features the people who were also in last years LLS Country Music Special and who will be in next years LLSCountry Music Special, unless they die before then

Even when she’s wearing a giant furry hamster outfit, the Trivago woman is schmokin’!

I saw this today on KillianM2's youtube channel, classic LLS Postal Quiz action with Gay taking no prisoners.

None of this "what is the Capital of Italy, is it Rome or Letterkenny?" nonsense. If you don't answer the question then you're getting nothing.

EPAndlee

Thanks RTE for reminding me how awful and horrendous country music is

Ol' Donie

There's Nathan Carter.

I literally have not heard of him in month...well, actually, I never heard of him apart from all the air time and repeats RTE give him.

Those postal quizes probably kept An Post afloat, I'd say at a conservative estimate you would have had 250k entries each time.

Nathan Carter and his bro came to ireland to fleece the irish people for their money. Idiot.

He's playing for the pope too.

I'm rather pissed off that Virgin Media are losing GOLD and Dave (and a few other channels) over the weekend

https://www.virginmedia.ie/uktv/

I need to get rid of that antiquated cable and get a better setup

I'm watching Natural Born Killers on Dave as a final fling, seeing as it was once banned in Ireland. Hope they don't pull the plug before its over. Woody from Cheers is in it.

Meh, I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had watched it when it came out originally.

Lots of killing and arty direction.

Woody has changed. Needs more Norm.

I've yet to see any film or tv show that doesn't need more Norm.

Even Cheers needed more Norm.

Could not agree more.

Some young Dutch lad is giving MVG a Darts lesson in Blackpool right now, if anyones into that.
