@spacejesusadventure I agree... it's Ironic, actually, for all the time people spend 'claiming' to have Irish blood, you'd think they'd have enough respect for the Irish to make a decent movie about them, but no...it's gotta be unoriginal, naive stereotypes all the time. They're either drunk, in the IRA, poor, stupid, or all of the above. And don't get me started on 'O Danny Boy'... - @Saturday, August 27, 2011 10:03 AM
