It's not badly written, and it does have some of that simplicity of language, that tends to grab you, but , I wouldn't put it up there with "Breakfast at Tiffanys" or "The Old Man and the Sea", or any of Steinbeck's stuff.


So, what think ye AH? Are Tayto crisps over-rated? Or other things?

First person to bring up "Starry night" by Van Gogh or The Stone Roses, gets a puck in the jaw. If anything they're under-rated.:D

Anyway, Happy Christmas friends.

''Catcher In The Rye'' definitely.

Never read it and never will. Wasn't that book a factor in the murder
of John Lennon?

The amateur boxing fad during the summer.

1. The irish boxers are not even amateurs. Some get paid 40k a year by the sports council.

2. Its boxing with helmets and its about how many shots you get on target. Imagine playing a football match with a bordered up goal and only counting the shots on target.

3. They are not even the elite people in their fields (possibly with the exception of Taylor) its level 2 boxing. Otherwise they would be pros.

4. If John Joe Nevan and Michael Conlon were having a chat on the road outside your gaff, most people in the country would think about calling the garda. I was amazed that Irelands hatred of travellers was suddenly suspended when Nevan won something.

5. Its a sport for poor people

Curry. A dish designed to be so spicy you can't tell that the meat is rotten!

I mean, I don't mind adding some heat to something with some chili, paprika etc. but your spices should never over-power the flavour of the food it's accompanying.

Real Life

A Wonderful Life.
Its got an 8.7 rating on imdb and i keep hearing people bang on about what a great movie it is or its their favourite christmas movie.
Personally i thought it was boring, had bad acting, poor camera and editing work. I do realise the time period it was made in but their is better films from that era.

Pot Noodle. Smells disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

Seriously? I think you've missed a trick. John Le Carre (the author of the novel) worked for MI6 before his writing career. I loved it, I don't know how anyone could call it contrived or pretentious.

I thought it was boring also. But how does your point about the novels authors previous position help clear up the missed trick?

The authors personal experience allows for a more realistic picture of cold war affairs to be painted, rather than something that's simply "contrived and sh!te".
By missed trick I meant the potential authenticity of the events in the film for that time in history, it may have gone over the head.
You can't stop people getting bored though.

No no, don't get me wrong, the story itself could have been a very good one. I'm sure the book is good. (The books usually are better than the movie versions). It's just that I thought the movie itself was useless.

None of the characters were developed whatsoever and I didn't care what happened to any of them. And even when the "who-dunnit" was revealed, I really didn't care who did it or why. And to be honest, the casting gave it away.

All the long close-ups of inanimate objects, bringing them in and out of focus. The pointless "artsy" shots throughout the film just annoyed me. Basically all the stuff that the movie snobs would wet themselves over.
It came across as just up its own arse to be honest.

Its amazing the bandwagons some people will jump on these days.

I know little or nothing about the sport of boxing and would be reluctant to offer an opinion on the merits, or otherwise, of the sport.

However, when Olympic medals are handed out the "boxing mad" irish public will cheer anybody or anything that brings back a medal of any colour. Its what the glory hunting sports "fans" of this nation do best.
