Weird
They are running that weird advertisement again.
I couldn’t find this years version so you will have to make do with last years, not that it makes any difference as they are identical apart from the dates.
Could someone please tell me something?
Where the fuck are those skyscrapers in Dublin? It’s the Dublin Festival, not the New York one. Or are we once again supposed to be overawed by the American reference?
And while you are at it, could you please tell me what is supposed to be so endearing about a yoke that looks like something out of War of the Worlds?
The message I get from the film is to stay well away from New York, otherwise I will be eaten by a load of canvas chairs.
It certainly doesn’t make me want to go to a film festival in Dublin
Dublin has loads of skyscrapers Grandad.
Its just that Dublin being a modest city they were mostly built in holes.
And people forget about the twenty five stories straight down.
Out of sight out of mind. The solicitors down on floor Minus 19 are in for some shock when the Dublin Underground Rapi’h Transport Infrastructure Engineering Boring And Subterranean Team (Allied Roadworkers Divisions) burst through with the oul’ kangohammers.
Maisie in conveyancing will shit herself. Again.
Aha! The old ‘holding the plans accidentally upside down’ trick?
‘Accident’ ..? Like abortion there are no accidents in Ireland merely unforced happenings.
I’ve a Viking longship at home on the mantelpiece that a fellow in the Thing Mote gave me for a couple of pints.
Terrible for the dust. But it does make a nice conversation piece at my regular Swingers Parties.
In fact I’ve a Norse inside.
American accent ?
Cap’n Con – Aren’t you worried about Vikings raping and pillaging around upstairs? Not to mention the room a longship must take up? You must have a damned big house……
TT – I passed on that one as I wasn’t sure. Half the announcers here have a horrible mock-American accent and I think it may be one of those.
The ad campaign was designed specifically to stop grumpy old bastards from going.
I like the ad, but the films it reminds me of — Independence Day and the remakes of War of the Worlds and Godzilla — while enjoyable enough for what they are, aren’t the sort of thing I’d be looking for in a film festival.
I’m with you Grandad. Weird ad. Just think of the hours of talks around tables they had to come up with…. That…. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
