I guess I just always found it tiresome that this guy comes over and mumbles incoherently while everyone crowds around him and pretends he’s being profound. He’s like a brain-damaged, foul-smelling Chauncy The Gardener.

At least he’s cheerful I guess, that’s worth a lot in my book. And Victoria is lots of fun even on a bad day.

I’ve not been home in a few years, so I’ve not seen them since he got his new teeth. Maybe he’s easier to understand now.

I'm from near Dublin and Shane & Victoria have been sort-of-regular guests at my mother's house for as long as I can remember. Shane is unintelligible even in one-on-one conversation. His accent has nothing to do with it.

How can anyone tell whether his lyrics are good or bad? He's completely unintelligible and has been for decades.

Lol yeah of course! Everywhere on the planet, sunsets are going to be better on West coasts than East coasts - and the reverse will be true of sunrises!

Until the Earth starts rotating the other way, that is.

Just poking some gentle fun, don't mind me!

Certainly better than an East Maui sunset...

Maybe you don't like sequels!

Sounds like it’s not your jam. You could probably sail through a bit faster if you turn the difficulty down a bit, but you’re not obligated to like things just because everyone else does. I thoroughly enjoyed it personally, but art isn’t about making sure we all like the same stuff.

Looks like there's a bit of that, and also a couple of salty Irish people who are upset that a woman born and raised in London is being played by a Brit.

Eh, this one gets a pass considering the real-life person she's playing was born and raised in London. They called their children "Cyril" and "Vyvyan". Would someone with an Irish accent do that?

I wonder if he was stoically "doing his duty" or if he was actually bi

In that case, I'm annoyed it's "The Ideal Wife" and not "An Ideal Wife".

Meanwhile, you have the best username I've seen in a long time! Fair play!

You know I'm less hurt by the meaning of that term than the fact that I had to look it up!

You can say "upper-crusty toff", we don't take it personally. The derogatory term the Irish use for us is "West-Brit".

I went to a fancy boarding school in Ireland where we learned Latin instead of Irish, and where children were mocked for having an Irish accent. Which almost none of us did, despite almost all being Irish. Well - Anglo-Irish. My own family is technically indigenous but Protestant, but we're indistinguishable from the rest of the Anglo-Irish crowd anyway so it's a bit disingenuous to claim I'm not one of them.

Anyway, my point is there's a tiny minority class of Irish aristo gobshites who speak RP and live in big fancy houses in the country. Wilde would very likely have sounded like one of us.

That fucker was king of the pithy one-liner.

Controversial take, I like it! I can't possibly agree, but don't let the inevitable downvotes make you think your taste should conform to anyone else's!

I'd rank 3 far below anything that came before it, but also far above anything that followed. Especially Jeunet's entry in the series, which is the worst. Unless Prometheus 2 is as bad as I suspected it was going to be; I didn't bother going to see it. Or AvP2, now that I think on it. But of the ones I saw, none annoyed me as much as Resurrection.

But then again I've hated pretty much everything of Jeunet's. His twee style is like late-career Tim Burton without early-career Tim Burton to justify the paycheque.
