I remember around ten or more years ago a remake starring Dwayne Johnson was on the cards; I remember thinking he could be really good in the role. It never happened, and I'm certain it's because he wanted Jack Burton to be the *actual* hero and Carpenter was having none of it.

Bradley Cooper is jonesing for an Oscar so bad. Nothing wrong with that, but what's a guy got to do.

That clip of yerman Joe Brolly is absolutely unhinged. What a fucking prick.

I did nab this *impossibly* cool (and pretty rare afaik) #PS2 in a charity shop some time ago. Already have the standard black of course, but absolutely could not say no. €40.
Limited edition pink PS2 slim.

Catherine Connolly watches TV with the big light on. #smearthebejaysus

Any charity shop that still sells PS2 games is just a shelf lined with row after row of Fifa, Pro Evolution and Singstar editions 😴

I regret getting rid of so many great PS1+2 games over the years, but still have a decent enough pile, including FF6, 7, 8, 9, X and XII. Ill never part with them as long as I live 😌

I need a drink after that Peter Thiel article.

Ditched it after 3 or 4 episodes, I couldn't stand another minute of the "adults doing kids" acting, it was painful.

I have very little time for Ray but they fucked him over for absolutely no reason.

Between sandbagging Ray D'Arcy and Newstalk's lawyers getting involved over yerman Cuddihy, RTE fairly bolloxed up the Radio 1 announcement didn't they.

Other than him, has anyone in the entire 100+ years of the thing ever said, "I think I should get the Nobel Peace Prize"?

Great answer but what you posted isn't what he said?

If they try anything with Creedo, we riot.

Agree, Morning Ireland leading into David McCullough and Callan later feels right, but no music until well into the afternoon feels wrong.

Having a pint of Guinness at the bar the time he visited Ireland was peak Obama. So twee and cliched, but so genuine too. It was both. The other guy could never.

Well this is just jawdropping - have a listen, the smear campaign by FG on Catherine Connolly is really their only tactic. Also has anyone (other than a niece/nephew) ever called Heather Humphreys ‘Auntie Heather’? #speirgorm #aras25

That's poor form to be fair, but the show was unlistenable, the guy can barely string a sentence together.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it
One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
