@sampixeldot 109 I could have considered but 200+ is absolutely madness. Could pay 57 for the very back of the stadium at the top stalls but I would like to actually see the stage 😂
I watched Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" on the plane, which I missed in the theater. Inisherin Island is an isolated island in Ireland, closed off from the civil war on the mainland. The people who live there are bigoted and mean-spirited. Even in such an environment, the main character, Colin Farrell, remains a "good guy". One day, his best friend tells him, "You're boring!" and his best friend unilaterally breaks up with him. The plot is a trivial one, but the collage of beautiful landscapes and obedient animals keeps the viewer interested until the very end. This is a masterpiece that makes us think about what it means to "live day by day" through the islanders who suffer on an isolated island. A BD will be released soon and I plan to buy it.
It's Ireland v England day & it's good to remember it's just a game. Having said that, I'm up since 4am reading about Cromwell's massacre in Drogheda; applying war paint; and knocking on my English neighbour's door demanding an apology for the 'famine'. #IREvENG
Honestly, I think identifying as “Irish American” when you have zero knowledge of Irish culture, is inherently racist. The people I grew up with who immigrated from Hong Kong, Nigeria and Poland are Irish, not these goons.
