I'm Irish and I agree with your sentiment tbh, peat is an inefficient fuel source and bogland should be preserved since it's an ecosystem. Literally no reason to burn it in the modern day but that said, it has dropped off a lot. This film was set in 1923
Trees grow fine on exposed Atlantic islands much further north. Most islands used up almost all wood as soon as it grew. Wood coal burning for heat probably caused a mini ice age in Europe.
Says the moron basing his bullshit on mass media memes. You have no clue how to think about anything, your brain is complete mush. Particle pollution causing cold is an actual phenomena unlike co2 runaway greenhouse effects. The increase in warmth is because of the sharp reduction in particle pollution.
It's frickin Ireland
Just a sad slab of stone with a heap of dirt on top and the only things that grow are grass and potatoes (except for, you know, that one time)
Plus they're ravaged by constant rain, clouds, wind, mist, and a temperature year-round that can only be described as 'meh'
Things only grow as fast as older things die. A tree doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell.
I believe in the 1500-1600s it was actually the English cutting them down, or buying timber from local Irish, to make for ships.
IIRC after a couple hundred years there weren't enough of the right kind of trees for ships, so they looked elsewhere.
But also from this time onwards trees were cut down to make farmland. Ireland's population boomed for a while (so they needed more farms for people) but also became an agricultural plantation for the English (so they needed more farmland to export cash crops).
The Romans described Scotland's forests as "impenetrable". The Brits tore it all down and then livestock made sure there'd never be anything except grass.
yes, most of the forest of the isles in general were cleared in the second millennium. There's even arguments on how important the clearing the forests were in driving people into finding alternative fuels like coal.
The eternal Anglo needed something to fuel his endless wars against humanity. Navies take a lot of wood to build, especially the largest one in the world for a while.
Thank the English for that.
also its important to remember that similar shit can start up once more because of brexit fricking up the border situation which was what made the IRA stop blowing shit up
>tfw have to drive through the town with a cheese factory and an absolute shit ton of cows and tanker trucks full of liquid cow shit travel the roads to go to fields to spray liquid shit all over the place
The stench is like a slap to the face, also doesn't help that the place is usually overcast so all the shit smell is trapped in a perpetual shit miasma.
As a big top gun fan, like it was my favorite movie growing up, top gun 2 was kind of a big let down for me. I appreciate the nostalgia shit, but they went way overboard with it and the flight segments were fricking boring.
Fraser's performance is getting more hype than the film itself. He might get best actor but the film's unlikely to win
Not that the oscars matter anymore anyway, whatever shred of credibility they still had died last year. But I know it would mean a lot to Brendan so I'm rooting for the final step of his unJUSTing
Tar and Aftersun were both excellent, funny enough the three you mentioned would be my top three for Best Picture with none of the others really coming close.
Honestly Tar might take the cake, I feel like Best Actress is guaranteed but the whole movie was one of the best things I've seen in a while. Banshees was fun but also very dry and small-scale which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
[...]
Yeah unfortunately I predict Fabelmans (I didn't watch it, it sounded like distilled Oscarbait) and EEAAW (fun but flawed, but normies worship it for some reason) will sweep.
It can't be helped.
Top Gun is too sentimental. I'm not just talking about memberberries stuff but its shit like the ending where Maverick sees the legacy carrying on with Rooster, it isn't just drawn out but drawn and and then slowed down with a big song playing that it just becomes so over the top that I can't take it seriously. Its the same thing with the funeral, if Kilmer was actually dead by the time the movie was released, yeah sure I could get that they would've included it and done it the way they did but the guy must've been in attendance opening night and thought "Jesus Christ people are going to be telling me 'I thought you were dead' every day when I'm out in public from now on."
It was a hard movie to watch having a sister that was raped as a teenager. Also seeing the BTS photos and all the color in their outfits and the whole movie is colored corrected into a palid shade of muted grey made it even more depressing.
Rooney was the only thing keeping me from slitting my throat right there in the theater.
he explained to him so plainly why he didn't want to be friends anymore: he was aware he was going to die sooner than later and didn't want to waste the time he had left just bullshitting with his drinking buddy instead of composing new songs. Then he visibly backs that up by inviting all these musicians around constantly to help him. I completely sympathize with Paddy but he was also the real villain.
Do people really not get sick of their friends? I gradually cut off my friends every 4 years or so and restock. Can't stand being around people longer than that.
Since I got into my mid-20s and realized that it's borderline impossible to just meet new friends post-college I've come to cherish my two real friends a lot more. It sounds gay but they're really all I have in the end.
"Work buddies" and "acquaintances" aren't the same as a real blood-brother who you could trust with your life.
>Work friend thinking of quitting >Tells me he doesn't want me to cut him out of my life if he leaves office >Tell him it's fine we'll hang out on weekends >Last day, hug him goodbye. >Block his number on my way home.
Why is Ireland such a nation of kino? Movies, books, music, banter you name it for such a small nation they have contributed a lot to the world and they still get shit on by jealous brits. Slainte my Irish anon bros.
I mentioned having 90% irish ancestry in band once years ago (t. american) and the band director responded with "I can't think of a single Irish contribution to society, or any aspect of Irish culture that appeals to me". Literally didn't know how to respond, the whole class went silent
I just came back from watching The Fabelmans and I wasn't too crazy about it. I don't think making it this thing of contrasting the reality of things against how film presents things really works in a film where the reality of things feels like a dramatic Spielberg film through and through. The reality shown by the film didn't feel authentic enough for that to work for me, even if I did enjoy it overall, that was a major point where I found it lacking.
just watched this movie at my local kino. Really starting to like Collin farrell after watching him in this and North Water. Dude is extra powerful when he burns local, plays in british shit.
As an Irish person it's annoying how much coverage this movie is getting here. It's good, but it's no enjoyable or likable, it's miserable.
I found it thoroughly enjoyable. A lot of the laughs come from "mundane" dialogue, rather than specific set up and punchline type of humour. Also being miserable is an incredibly important part of the Irish psyche. It builds character.
I'm almost inclined to believe the use of feck is used specifically for that moment during their final argument where Pádraic finally screams FRICK at Colm. I'm sure there's some symbolic reason for it or whatever.
Just watched this, the last minutes reminded me a lot of The Hunt with Jenny dying and Padraic turning "evil" similar to Mikkelsen's character with someone killing his dog and going nuts in the church scene but the context is totally different in both movies
easy - Martin McDonagh made a shit depressing movie labelled as a comedy that he never adopted for years and now that he made a name for himself the critics are cerclejerking around it and brainless drones follow the trope

y-you too

where are the trees?
how do people live in a place that has zero fricking trees?
get a load o' this hoity-toity tree-luvin' feggit.
Building? Stone
Heating? Peat
My dad lives on Unst and it’s comfy
>Peat
You burn dirt???
wtf is going on in fricking Ireland. Maybe the English perspective of the irish does make sense.
Unst is Scotland, but yeah, same deal
Yes, they cut the peat into bricks and burn them like logs
peat is moss
Peat is highly flammable
>american education
It can be very flammable when it's dry, idiot
Why the frick would you even try and burn wet peat
Peat is basically a few steps from turning into oil.
I'm Irish and I agree with your sentiment tbh, peat is an inefficient fuel source and bogland should be preserved since it's an ecosystem. Literally no reason to burn it in the modern day but that said, it has dropped off a lot. This film was set in 1923
peat is used to make some scotches too, if its an expensive scotch its either old, or its peated. it tastes sort of like burning bandaids
take the barrenschistlandscapepill
exported to Norway
just wait till you hear about they starved millions rather than fish
by singing depressing songs about >tfw no trees
I watched In Bruges like a week before my best friends and I were going off to college and my first gf dumped me

It's an island in the Atlantic. When the weather turns it gets scoured by gale winds, trees can't hack it.
Trees grow fine on exposed Atlantic islands much further north. Most islands used up almost all wood as soon as it grew. Wood coal burning for heat probably caused a mini ice age in Europe.
You honestly believe burning wood caused a mini ice age as if that isn't a natural occurrence on earth? Dear lord the propaganda works too well.
Says the moron basing his bullshit on mass media memes. You have no clue how to think about anything, your brain is complete mush. Particle pollution causing cold is an actual phenomena unlike co2 runaway greenhouse effects. The increase in warmth is because of the sharp reduction in particle pollution.
>Trees grow fine on exposed Atlantic islands much further north.
Where? The Faroes are equally treeless.
It had trees before humans and again now thanks to romantics.
Iceland has some trees, but not on the actual coast.
frick off back the mainland if you like trees so much you soft-handed jackeen
It's frickin Ireland

sounds like SF
Ireland used to be densely forested, this is a tiny limestone island
they chopped em all down cuz they're white Black folk.
the lacks of trees makes it look interesting to me, there's nothing but trees where I live
Got deforested over hundreds of years.
I believe in the 1500-1600s it was actually the English cutting them down, or buying timber from local Irish, to make for ships.
IIRC after a couple hundred years there weren't enough of the right kind of trees for ships, so they looked elsewhere.
But also from this time onwards trees were cut down to make farmland. Ireland's population boomed for a while (so they needed more farms for people) but also became an agricultural plantation for the English (so they needed more farmland to export cash crops).
Not for the Aran Islands. There was literally just no trees due to the geography of the place. No topsoil, nothing.
Trees don;t grow on the small Island's off west coast of Ireland. Too windy and salty air.
The Romans described Scotland's forests as "impenetrable". The Brits tore it all down and then livestock made sure there'd never be anything except grass.
yes, most of the forest of the isles in general were cleared in the second millennium. There's even arguments on how important the clearing the forests were in driving people into finding alternative fuels like coal.
The fricking morons cut them all down! And what's worse, they didn't plant any either! How hard is sustainable forestry, come on.
The eternal Anglo needed something to fuel his endless wars against humanity. Navies take a lot of wood to build, especially the largest one in the world for a while.
Thank the English for that.
>against humanity
I wouldn't exactly call pajeets human.
>I understand, bro. your training is over, I have long ago taught you there are no equals in any relationship
*movie credits roll*
remind me again why the irish were having a "civil war" during that time period again
Arguing over what treaty to sign with the British
Loyalists wanted to remain part of the UK, separatist wanted to be an independent country. There were also religious differences
also its important to remember that similar shit can start up once more because of brexit fricking up the border situation which was what made the IRA stop blowing shit up
we need more time, padraicbros
>I know you are but what am I?
boom, done.
Does the entire movie take place on that fricking table there? It's the only screenshot I see of it
It just looks the same everywhere
What kind of farmer was Padaric?
You see him selling milk to the lady with the shop at the docks.
Fecking hell being a diary farmer looks comfy
It would be comfy if cows didn't smell but they do. you don't even need that many before the methane is impossible not to notice.
Although his operation, with a few animals near a coast, probably wasn't as smelly as your average modern dairy. But it definitely still smelled
You get used to the smell of dung and the rest honestly
>tfw have to drive through the town with a cheese factory and an absolute shit ton of cows and tanker trucks full of liquid cow shit travel the roads to go to fields to spray liquid shit all over the place
The stench is like a slap to the face, also doesn't help that the place is usually overcast so all the shit smell is trapped in a perpetual shit miasma.
>Padraic we need to stop the Banshees
Padraic's sister was so feckin' hot bros
she gets all kinds of newd in Rome
Oh I am aware
But for some reason she seemed hotter to me in Banshees even though she was older and dressed like a frump. It was like she was in her natural state
Jesus frick that's where I know her from! I just couldn't pin it down
did you watch bcs? she's mike's daughter-in-law
luv kerry. simple as
I heard she’s wild
Is this our pick for Best Picture?
Avatar is Disneyslop
Everything Everywhere is reddit
Triangle of Sadness is Euro vommie garbage
Elvis is boomerslop
Are we rooting for Banshees or Top Gun?
Banshees. Top Gun was more like a series of vignettes barely tied together, with Tom Cruise playing himself. Banshees was pure soul.
Banshees. It is the only actual film of 2022.
Top Gun. Not pulling for this stupid reddit movie
As a big top gun fan, like it was my favorite movie growing up, top gun 2 was kind of a big let down for me. I appreciate the nostalgia shit, but they went way overboard with it and the flight segments were fricking boring.
for me, it's Top Gun

I haven't seen anything better from 2022 than Banshees, but Tár and Aftersun haven't come out here yet.

Top Gun was good, but only compared to the goyslop flics of today.
What I've seen of Banshees, it's got soul at least.
Soul? It's literally nihilistic doom porn.
exactly like my soul
It's literally the opposite.
