Wow, this is great

stephanieburgis.bsky.social•349 days ago

OMG I needed that today. Thank you!

amberlough.bsky.social•349 days ago

This was the best thing I’ve seen today. But I also now want to watch the movie, with this printed out and in my hand, as a sort of guide.

laurarueckert.bsky.social•349 days ago

Haha, same.

The last time I read something like that was Lindy West's review of Sex & The City 2 aka the film that led UK film critic Mark Kermode to, in his words, break into a rendition of "The Internationale".

Pair with Wild Mountain Thyme for a full Questionably Irish Themed film experience.

Such a joy to read! It reminded me of the old Television Without Pity recaps. 😂

Still mad at Bravo for killing TWoP

When I saw this pop up on Netflix, I was sure it was just going to be a caricature of Ireland. Sounds like it is that and so, so much worse. This review was a comedic masterpiece, though.

calonsus.bsky.social•349 days ago

Found some "people" talking about the movie on twitter. Certainly not ai bots sent to make the movie trend or anything.

Oh thank you for this. Absolutely amazing.

"It’s possible that this movie was made solely to get some kind of secret political message across international boundaries in deep code."

Best thing I've read in a while

"...every scene is lit and color coded like a poorly managed children’s hospital." That review was an intricate and hilarious takedown!

duckduckf.bsky.social•349 days ago

oh wow, you’re right this is superb

"Any time traveler will recognize this as an unethical seduction tactic." Fucking incredible

dfurchtgott.bsky.social•349 days ago

I... what...

What.

.... I just read... what.

dfurchtgott.bsky.social•349 days ago

The thing about James Joyce. You know... author of The Dubliners??? I CAN'T EVEN

fernmonkey.bsky.social•349 days ago

Yeats was RIGHT THERE.

kellybarnhill.bsky.social•349 days ago

RIGHT?

fernmonkey.bsky.social•349 days ago

I mean, I've never studied Irish literature, I just recall some rural/nature imagery in Yeats. But 2 minutes on Wikipedia will yield the information that all Joyce's work is set in Dublin...oh god, are they confusing the Martello Tower with the Cliffs of Moher? Is THAT it?

kellybarnhill.bsky.social•349 days ago

It's an insult that shan't be endured

greedyrunner.bsky.social•349 days ago

Great review. It made me look up 'step-and-repeat' too, so I learned something. Bonus.
