What about STOP, or my mom will shoot?

Whats the chances of a TV3 going stopping this movie and the announcer coming on and saying "sorry we've made a terrible mistake, we were supposed to show Rocky Balboa so instead of doing what we usually do, ie ignoring the mistake and not even acknowledging the fact Rocky should of been shown, instead we are going to show it now, albeit an hour and a bit late. Our sincere apologies."

Pipe dreams are good.......

I doubt it was. Fairly lame one if it was.

I'm happy, thats all that matters.

I locked this thread 50 replies ago and then re-opened it on a whim. Congrats all for proving me wrong.
If only we could get an image dispensation on AH for lolcats.

I believe we can sue TV3, I booked the night off work to watch this movie......and I have a wife and 3 kids to feed! I want loss of earnings and mental anguish. I'll settle for €5k no less.

Sue shamblertine. No one would have known only for him. No one watches TV3.

But I sent them out to the park because I wanted peace and quiet to watch the movie. The food is mostly eaten and I threw the left overs in the bin, they're probably too cold to eat now anyway.

Is the Transporter really that good....I cant stand any film with that Statham guy in it.....he seems to be only able to portray the same type of guy in his films....you know, the tough British geezer who shoots stuff, drives car quiet fast, shoots more stuff, snogs some slapper, drives off again etc etc yadda yadda

davyjose

Shame.

Well, they just made the big jump in "The Bus That couldn't Slow Down". And my third Bulmers is just as yummy as the first. So I'm happy.

colly10

This crowd are making setanta look like pros tonight, the wrong film on for 2 hours, thats gotta be the worst i've ever seen

Quazzie

Who cares about Balboa, or the Bus that couldn't stop. Days of Thunder is on E4.

Tom Cruise, Vroom Vroom, back in the day when he was still trying to prove to Kidman that he wasn't ghey, so he was acting his ass off.

Where were you two hours ago? I've been watching a bloody bus all night, and all the while there were nascars? And an even more outdated nostalgia movie. Sir, you make me sick!

On the upside at least your licence fee isn't funding new ways to ruin your Wednesday night in.

Speed- Keanu Reeves in a film where he dosen't actually seem like a robot for once, but still lame actor for a movie that is only satisfactory because Dennis Hopper got his head knocked off in it.

The Transporter- Jason 'I'll do your head in' Statham trying to be the British Chuck Norris in what I can only imagine is the second best movie that he's in, the other being Mean Machine.

Rocky Balboa- Sly in the latest installment of Rocky in which he tries to prove that he's still fcuking hard despite the fact that he's clearly well within his limits.

Yep I think I was right to just go out tonight and have a little fun

jumpguy

At the start of Rocky the TV3 announcer said it couldn't be shown due to "technical difficulties". I dunno, maybe they lost the tape or something. :P Pity they chose Transporter instead though...

Lock Stock and Snatch are his best by a country mile dude.

Funny post though

Paddy Samurai

If Stallone finds out about this he will Rambo all their asses :eek: in Tv3.
It will be First Blood all over again.
God help Martin King if he goes up in the helicopter!.

Maybe someone should phone stallone,and let him do a job on Tv3.Just picture it...building in flames,impaled corpses all over the place,and RTE film crews getting their best news coverage in years.

Gummy Panda

I'd rather eat the rotten anus of a roadkill skunk then watch the transporter

Terrible film!!

Dear Mask,

Unfortunately we experienced extreme last minute technical problems with the Rocky Balboa tape that was delivered to us, the problem and title change was announced before the film commenced,
Please accept my sincerest apologies for this; unfortunately it was out of our hands,

And what's wrong with that? The man is a hero and everything you described there make for good viewing.

Not a fan of the Rocky films so didn't put tv3 on. Had a known the Transporter was on I definitely would have watched that! I love that film! Maybe next time!

DeVore

Lads, keep the personal stuff off of here please. The lady has a job to do, personal comments and some frankly creepy suggestions of a date (wtf?) are not welcome. Thanks

DeV.

shamblertine

it wasn't a date as such, it was just a request to meet up as friends- if something more came out of it, then so be it

DeVore

does that work much for you?! :rolleyes:

He's gonna take you back to the past

I thought it was odd when I saw Statham in place of Stallone. It was a bit freaky as I'd seen the ad for Balboa and was flicking through and saw yer man's gruff face and thought "was there two Rocky Balboa sequels ?

Elmo

They didn't have the rights to show the film. RTÉ are going to be showing it this Autumn.

JONJO THE MISER

So basically TV3 were lying and are Guilty of false advertising in order to get viewers, i will be writing a complaint to the BCC tomorrow.
