Rex Ryan comparing himself to Orson Welles.
I thought he was comparing what he is doing to what Orson Welles did while here tbh.
he said if Orson Welles had to fundraise why can't he, is that not comparing himself to Welles?
In fairness to the guy I don't think it was meant that way... the meaning I took is if a great man like Orsen Welles had to beg for fundraising then why not a lowly guy like himself
Comparing his predictament(needing funding) to that which Welles or any theatre maker finds themselves in. Welles did whatever it took to make his art.
fair enough but he had to pick the greatest filmaker of all time to compare his predicament to.
I think he might have been comparing it to how Welles funded himself while here (doing bad paintings in the west of Ireland, sleeping rough etc) and involved in theatre rather than film.
never knew that he spent time in Ireland.
This is a great read. Highly recommend if you have an interest.
I found the John Boyne interview interesting on Saturday. Whatever your views on Boyne's stance on various issues, it made for better quality radio than many of BOC's other interviews.
No issue here
Guardian angels? Some woman in the studio saying she can see three guardian angels in the studio with Brendan?
Who is producing this shite and does anyone actually want to hear it?
Is this a joke segment? Speaking to Angels live in the studio.
Strange amount of credibility being given to this topic.
Angel woman giving vague answers to some of BOC's questions. It all sounds a bit weird.
I know it takes all types to make up society but this one is a complete loo laa. And O'Connor worse for entertaining her, where does he find them? Are they attracted to Ballsy like moths, he's been digging a vein of this sort of shyte since he got his bum in the seat.
so she sees angels, sees god, talks to them all the time, gets told the future, can heal people too,
sounds legit ..... ????
Well... people make her donations. Maybe she's on the wrong slot, more appropriate to the 10-11 business show.
BOC should ask her about how much she charges for these “services”
She definitely gave the game away when she said that she asked the organisers to 'keep the price down as much as possible'.
Classic.
How can we 'move on' Brendan if last bit is true. It's a game changer. Does Andy Farrell/Johnny Sexton know?
You got it in one. There’s an industry in this sh* t out there. Unfortunately it’s the vulnerable that suffer. Look at the wan who set up a holy Mary style thingy in the west. She has become a millionaire from her venture. AND apologies to no one for it.
Give it a friggin rest O Connor , afraid of libel over a library book that wasn't returned 50 years ago
Exactly.
Like the poor folk who hand over good money to go to mediums, so they can chat to their dead relatives.
That's one thing, it's impossible to regulate charlatans in that field, but the national broadcaster shouldn't be giving them airtime, free publicity and likely an appearance fee too.
The Gallaghers? Some fancy place she has.
I suppose you can ask why not, the regular churches pull in a fair few bob as well. It's a good business model that fills a human need.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud when she spoke about... "unemployed Angels". Seemingly, these were the ones who had no one to "guard".
There's even layabouts and spongers in the afterlife it seems.
Colm O' Gorman (One In Four and Amnesty int.) mentioned a counter protest to the recent anti immigration protest that had 50k people in attendance.
Does anyone know which pro-immigration/refugees welcome demonstration he was talking about?
Sorry no.
But as soon as I heard he was on Ballsy’s show……bang…..press the off button.
Never heard a guy who seems so fokking angry about everything and bores the hoop off people with his negativity.
Ballsy’s show appears to have gone to the dogs. Totally irrelevant …a panel he can’t wait to get rid of, then a bunch of liggers pimping whatever they are up to now……painful stuff in my opinion.
Might have been this one a month ago? Not sure if there was actually 50k at it though. Probably exaggerating a little bit to make a point.
