I rarely listen to the radio anymore, they only play chart stuff which is in large part absolute drivel, and I assume a "Facebook cover" is similar to a YouTube cover in which people of varying degrees of musical talent improve upon or butcher a well known song, but don't know why I'd watch one of those if I don't know the song.

The song does sound vaguely familiar, so I assume I had heard it in the background at one point, but yeah I definitely never listened to it properly before.

No, everyone kept telling me how amazing it was and that I had to go see it, so I therefore had to do the exact opposite of that, because I hate being told what to do...

I've not seen that movie either, I'd be more inclined to watch the original or the the Judy Garland version, I prefer old movies

Me too. So much so, that I have no clue which movie they're talking about.

Irish Aris

I haven't seen any of the previous reiterations of the film. I watched this one, I thought it was a good film, not amazing but very enjoyable.

3 Janet Gaynor


before Lady G.

See my earlier post about not listening to radio.

Stopped working in radio in early 2011, and thats also about the last time I've listened to radio. If I'm out and about I've got my headphones on, and the types of bars I go to don't exactly play the Top 40.

Sure these days Spotify recommends me 60 songs a week based on what I already listen to without me having to even press a button, throw YouTube recommendations in on top of that and you've more new music coming in than you know what to do with. When the music comes to you why anyone still listens to radio baffles me...

Same goes for TV actually - these "I'm just watching it because its on" people have me scratching my head. Between all the streaming services and TV packages, on demand, being able to record what you want, etc. and people still just watch whatever old sh*te is on RTE... I don't get it.
