Dating Amber is on RTE 2 tonight. Two gay teens in 90s Ireland stage a fake relationship in order to appear straight to their classmates and family. Sweet, funny, moving, sad, and hopeful in equal measures. One of my fave Irish films of recent years.
Pulp Fiction is on TG4 now

Following immediately after is Independence Day.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Paramount 21:00 220 min Sat 18 December
Nearly three hours long and builds up to a climax of three guys standing around doing nothing.
I recently watched the movie "Marley and I" and it really impressed me. I was so imbued with this film. The actors played their roles so vitally that it seemed to me as if everything was happening for real, as if everything was happening to me. The film shows love, true love, man's love for man, man's love for an animal - a strong, friendly seed. Of course, the film is predictable and the ending seemed clear to me at first, but how hard it is to lose a faithful friend, emotions flooded over me in full swing and at the end of the film I cried for a long time.
Die Hard (1988) Sat 18th Dec 2:10 RTE2
It's not Christmas until I see Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi tower.
The Ladykillers (1955) 14:30-16:20 Thu 16th Dec 2021 115m Film4
A charming little Ealing black comedy.
The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) 14:15-17:20 Thu 16th Dec 2021 230m BBC2
Technically it's a Christmas film. Staring everyone.
Telly Savalas shaved his head for this and kept the look for the rest of his life.
Producer and director George Stevens did many takes of John Wayne's single line, "Truly, this man was the Son of God." A rumor has long persisted that at one stage, Stevens pled with Wayne to show more emotion, an overwhelming sense of awe. During the next take, Wayne changed the line to, "Aw, truly this man was the Son of God."

Why Don't You Just Die is on Film 4 tomorrow night at 1:30 (Friday night/Saturday morning)
It's a Russian film, dark comedy, very violent but in such a way that it's almost cartoonish. I saw it described as a Wes Anderson film directed by Quentin Tarantino and edited by Edgar Wright, which honestly gives a fairly accurate idea of it.
I watched it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.
Tremors is on at 10.30 on ITV4
The Accountant RTE2 tonight 10.15
Ben Affleck as the hardcore autistic forensic accountant.
Fargo on TG4 tonight

The Thing tonight 10.00 Horror ch+1
Sci-fi horror with Kurt Russell set in Antarctica
A late pick..
Red Sparrow 9.00 Film4 (already on 😂) 10.00 Film4+1
An entertaining watch for a Thursday night, with not a lot else on.
^^^
A poor selection that one I picked there 😟,,, Too long, not very engaging, and they really poured it on with the depiction of the racist southern rednecks.. I must have been easier amused when it first came out on dvd or vcr 😂
^^
That's a good one!
A Time To Kill 11.30 tonight BBC1
"Yes I did, and they deserved to die!" A pretty good drama with Samuel L for anyone still up 😊
