I thought Gone Girl and Gone Baby Gone were the same film until this week

It turns out Ben Affleck directed one and starred in the other.

They were both decent enough as movies go. If pushed I'd say Gone Baby Gone was the better of the 2. In any case both are better than next Friday night's offering 9.30pm offering on RTE 1.

I've had the sense that RTE is drawing inspiration from ITV's model for some time now.

Y'know, replacing things of value to the viewer with cheap, lowest common denominator mindless nonsense. Very visible with the current formats & guests lists of LLS & RDS.

Today it's all been confirmed with the constant ads for An Evening With Elton John, and An Evening With Shirley Bassey & David Walliams.

It's very, very disappointing.

‘Rocky II’ starting on ITV in about five minutes.

AAADRIAAAAAAAAN!!

EPAndlee

Mrs brown is bad enough but add Picture This to the situation and its just absolutely painful to watch

RTE are gone to f*ck. Next Friday they have The best of the LLS. Followed by the Joe Dolan / Orchestra tribute AGAIN. Never a word about him when he was alive but they are fairly milking him now.

I'll give 'em a pass tonight for Blazing Saddles.

Jaysus, that was some half ar$ed version of "Ain't no pleasing you" by Chas n Dave on Jools. Looked like they didn't want to be there at all. "I wonder where he is now" was a lot better.

Ol' Donie

It's best of the Late Late time!

For 5 mins, till Would I Lie To You starts.

It was a good interview with Martian. She's lovely too.

I've seen that Shirley Bassey RTE ad 87 times now ... Am I in a Black Mirror episode?

Skid X

The thing is, Shirley's great - but she doesn't have the range

It's mind boggling. It's on as much as I've ever seen any ad for anything. It's been on in every single ad break in every single world cup match, and that's been going on for ten days.

Normally that kind on filler, which is what it is, doesn't get mentioned til the evening it's on.

It's essentially got the Imelda Mae repeat slot. Amazing.

RTE 2 showing Apres Match Of The Day, Ireland England Euro 88, I'd rather if they showed the undubbed analysis of that game.

Whiplash on RTE 2, good film but if it taught me one thing it's that drum solos are f*cking boring.

‘Dumb And Dumber To’ on Channel 4 right now.


Remember how we all pined and pined for a DAD sequel for over 20 years knowing it would be terrible and not hold a candle to the original?

Just sayin’.

I just flicked over to it...to see Dignam and daughter ferociously violate the song 'Under Pressure'. But I suppose Christy is the salt of the earth so I should let him away with it...

Room 101 on BBC 1.

Despite Frank Skinner being on it, it's the only thing I've seen on BBC today that hasn't featured Football's Coming Home.
