CiaranM Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 watched "hunger" last night .... based on the hunger strike in maze prison northern ireland in 1981 .... what a f**king brutal and depressing movie. definitely not one for light entertainment !!! Yeah, watched this at the weekend too mate. It is brutal AND depressing, but the acting and direction are excellent, and I think it really captures the mood of the time... I once got a really stiff kicking when I was 16 for wearing a Bobby Sands badge from 3 neanderthals with Red Hand badges... bast*rds hmmmm ... it wasn't as good as i expected it to be .... and i reckon u would need to know some of the background to enjoy/understand the movie !! anyway grim f**king times ... let's hope we're never back there again !!!

Agree totally - it's one of those movies that probably has a very narrow target audience, though sure all the ex-NORAID idiots in the states will troop along like the good little An Phoblacht readers they are. But I don't think, despite the recent actions of some real minority a**holes, that things will ever be that bad again. Belfast is even on the current Lonely Planet Top 5 cities to see list!! It is truly a changed place. I played a few gigs over in NI in the 90's and the gigs themselves were oases of non-bigotry (perhaps methinks E should have been given to all parties in the Troubles and we would have had peace earlier) but we were always hesitant to go trawling off to afterparties the way we would have on the mainland. Did attend a farm party near Portrush where a couple of Republican heavies turned up to collect 'permission' money!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiaranM Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 i can remember being at the arena around 1993/1994, robbie nelson was resident there ... from agnelli and nelson .... and there was a young belfast there in a wheelchair totally off his face. it was during the provos war or drugs and he'd been kneecapped the week before .... didn't stop him though !!

The Provo's (and Loyalist's) war on drugs was a joke. What it actually meant was 'war on drugs that we haven't supplied'. I can remember this guy Oisin from the NI scene who used to score his E's in Scotland. He was always paranoid going home cos known 'faces' from the rave scene were regularly stopped and searched... But respect to all the old NI scene for keeping it going despite the threats and provocation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagner Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire. Not sure if it deserved all the Oscars it got though but have not yet watched the other contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin_2 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire.Not sure if it deserved all the Oscars it got though but have not yet watched the other contenders. Agreed.

I think the whole attraction of Slumdog was the feelgood factor at a time when the world is in a pretty low place. It cannot compare to Oscar winning films like The Departed, but it hit the mark bang on for raising people's feelings when the credit crunch is biting...

dannyboy Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think I have just found my new favourite movie. The story of two convicts sent to a prison in French Guiana and their desperate attempts to escape. Starring Dustin Hoffman and the late Steve McQueen, this tale is a sad story that got me really feeling for the main characters. Excellent acting, great scenery, I don't know how I have never seen this movie before... I'm going to Carrefour to by a big steak, mushrooms and onions fried in olive oil, a baguette and a bottle of something with grapes in it and I'm watching it again....Brilliant!

pandorea Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 SICKO by Michael Moore. it's a documentary, in fact. It's about American health care business. Very interesting and it's somewhat sad. Moore compares American health care system to universal care in Canada, the U.K. and France. An insurance company in US says something like "we don't refuse to help people, we refuse payment". :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
