    Actually about the Fureys…

    I wonder are there Furries in Ireland? Imagine if word slipped out about a gathering and some folks did think it was The Fureys doing a show ….

    In cinemas October 2021, starring Pat Shortt and Deidre O'Kane.

    Aren’t all people who participate in reality shows wannabe celebrities?
    I honestly don't think so.
    I know a couple of people who went on Irish first dates they were 100 percent going on to try and meet someone.

    Same re. First Dates (Ireland); one of my close friends was on the show and she only found herself on it through happenstance. She's not remotely into celebrity or the pursuit of "fame". Now, I have heard that the Irish show does pad out its guests with flotsam from casting agencies, but there are still many "real" people.

    If you can tell without revealing any of her private life, what was the happenstance that led to her being on a TV dating show?

    As I read I imagined a comedic scenario of a person accidentally walking on onto a set or something like what happened with that taxi driver going for a job interview at BBC HQ who was mistake for a tech boffin and ended up on live TV. :)

    I didn’t know there was game shows on Netflix.

    I enjoy the likes University Challenge, Mastermind, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but seems strange that they are on a streaming service.

    I can’t explain why it is strange though… which is equally as strange.

    They are called Furries and they are complete fúcking weirdos.

    No doubt netflix will do a series on fursecution sometime soon.

    Excellent film. Will be watching that over the weekend.

    I think it is one of the greatest films ever made, definitely top 5. And I would say the performance by DDL is the greatest single acting performance ever on film.

    I didn’t know what fursecution means so I looked it up (as I did that it dawned on me it persecution) but by then my browser has opened Wikifur.

    It was a page exampling the word and I went no further for I had not the courage… :p

    Should we expect uproar about whether or not the actors voicing the gay characters are gay?

    I was asking because Kristen Bell was removed from her role on Central Park because her character is mixed race.

    I asked before I looked at the trailer.

    I too doubt anyone will complain as it seems to be pants so no one will care.

    I have judged it on whether it is funny or not.

    Isn’t that one of the purposes of trailers? :)

    That trailer was a mess.

    They've really missed a trick in not calling this The Love Island of Doctor Moreau.

    Watched Divines tonight. French film about a young girl living in the suburbs of Paris who gets involved with a local dealer to make some fast cash. It's outstanding, it really is. It's a very familiar story, but the writing, directing and acting just elevate it so much. Highly recommend it.

    Thanks for the recommendation..Really enjoyable, such likeable two main characters...8/10

    Looking forward to this, one of the best shows on Netflix, in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,732 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Was looking for the youtube version of that sexy beasts trailer to send it on to someone and in the process found out it's a US version of a series that aired on BBC THREE

    Great show.

    The casting of the school principal and his son is uncanny for the likeness between the two if them.

    Also, Gillian Anderson is still damn hot.

    I swear I've looked it up several times to see if they were related in real life. It keeps telling me no, but I don't believe it :D

    Me too, I was convinced they were.

    I'm trying to watch Murder by the Coast but along with the subtitles there is also an English audio translation. Is there any way of getting rid of the audio as I am finding it very distracting.

    Fantastic
    Love this show!

    I tried it twice and couldn’t get into it . What am I missing ?
    I’d be a fan of Gillian Anderson too!

    There normally is. Go to the Audio and subtitles and click on audio and I’ve watched this show but if you are saying there English audio description, there should be an option for English audio.
