osiris! I just copied it from him. And isn't it Wig Wam Bam? Love Sugar Baby Love. And Sand is pretty good too but Cillian Murphy's girly voice in it is a bit weird.
ive been dying to see it for a few weeks. but sham was less excited so we ended up going to see....mmm what was it, the constant gardner last. that doesn't sound right tho. feels like i saw that ages ago. anyhow im off tomorrow so will go see it then maybe. will have to drag housemates out.
dave fanning did an interview with cillian murphy looking just as himself. well maybe the hair was still permy and what not but his camera man asked him at the end where that actress was from. simply would not believe it was a guy. would hate to go see a film of such diversity and it not be convincing
Apparently Cillian Murphy is letting fame get to his head a bit. Corca Dorca (Who gave him his break) asked him to come back and do some promo for them (attend a party or something) and while he went, he wouldn't allow anyone take pictures of him. He told them to go to his publicist!

Apparently Rhys Meyers is worse. By a whole load from what I've read about him!
rhys meyers is an awful dull tool. i had the "pleasure" of drinking with him and a friend after hours in the coal quay last year. he was just after filming Alexander with some pretty big names whom he referred to as col and angie.
most of you know me enough to know i wouldnt have been easy on the poor chap so i was surprised but he didnt play the "im a big movie star" card.
not arrogant but well boring. im going to wait till he get a bit more famous and then go to the star with the rest of the nights events.
anyhow breakfast on pluto.....does stephen reas accent annoy anybody else?
oh god. i don't know who he is? which character was he again?
yeah twas a good film alright. still can't get the whim wham bam song out of me head! AHHHHHHHHHH
don't you mean children of the reveoloution by T rex....

Just as a wee response, I remember reading an interview about how he was an orphan and grew up sad and miserable and alone and abused.
My Mam knows his parents, and they were well pissed, they've a grand house on the Model Farm Road!

I read that too! And another that said he lived with a foster family for a large part of his childhood. His past seems a bit of a mystery to the paparazzi.
yeah the papers just make things up. but really if your an "ACTOR" pronounced in a big rada voice. its no use having a decent normal functional family. you want one where your ma was running a brotel, your da was in the joy fro 5 years for gbh and arson. your brother was off his face on crack and your sister appeared on jerry springer for having an affair with a police officer and his dog.
now if that was your bio note you would be appearing on all the magazines telling of your heroic survival from the most dysfunctional family in ireland. normality don't sell papers.

yeah the papers just make things up.
It wasn't eh papers, it was HIM!
did he take his physc. meds before the interview, did he not read the instructions on the bottle 3 times a day for the pink tablets and green only only at night. these movie stars can't take the meds at the right time.
anyways.....

Patrick McCabe ... Breakfast on Pluto, also on the Booker shortlist, McCabe produces another inimitable voice to amuse and infuriate, mimicking perfectly the overwrought, near-hysterical style of a character whose emotional processes were cruelly halted somewhere around the age of 14, and whose tale requires English literature's highest concentration of exclamation marks.
Patrick "Pussy" Brady is recording her memoirs for the mysterious Dr. Terence, and it's quite some story. After randy Father Bernard gets carried away with his temporary housekeeper, a dead ringer for Mitzi Gaynor, the result is Patrick Braden, abandoned on a doorstep in a Rinso box and condemned to a foster home with the alcoholic Hairy Braden. Escape comes in fantasies of Vic Damone and the occasional glitzy frock, and eventually, inevitably, the rebaptised "Pussy" heads for life as a transvestite rent boy on Piccadilly's Meat Rack. But this is not just Pussy's story; as hitherto-muffled paramilitary violence blows up in her face, Pussy falls apart, providing a vivid and unsettling final comment on the human price paid in 1970s Ireland. --Alan Stewart --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Hmmm. i wonder why they changed pussy to kitten in the film?

I saw an article bout that too. I think Jordan decided to change it so that there'd be less contraversy. You know all those mammy's would just be going mad!
yeah dave fannings review of that mentioned those changes as well. i think the audience i saw it with were a bit confused by the whole thing. i think there was one laugh the whole show. i realy liked it, as long as you dont go and try and analyse it and see whats credible its a good show. for instance kitten seems to have no grasp of reality all the way through and even at the end. alsoi dont get why she didnt just to talk to Mrs Harrison at the end. just to wheedle her way in and at least get to know her like.
favourite line "mine too, you big fireproof man"

I agree. If its over analysed you'll just spoil it for yourself. Its not meant to be a serious commentary on society or anything, just a damn good laugh!
seemingly i laughed very loudly during the film made it even funnier for aine!! i found it very funny and the fact kitten has no grasp on reality is even better i like it that way reality sucks!!
