Just glancing at the Indo’s website this morning I read:
Hollywood stars to shoot in capital
as
Hollywood stars shot in capital
and I thought to myself ‘Hurrah! Jamie Foxx and Jude Law have both been gunned down whilst on a trip to Washington DC’. Turns out it’s much less exciting than that because Steven Soderbergh is about to film scenes from his upcoming film here.
Sadly, I don’t suppose any of those scenes include Jamie Foxx being shot to death. I really dislike him, I have to say. He’s right up there with Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and former Meath captain Colm O’Rourke as one of my most hated people of all time in the world ever. There’s just something about his stupid face that makes me fervently hope he gets it trampled into a squidgy mush by an angry gnu.
I remember watching that film he was in with Tom Cruise and he was a taxi driver and Tom Cruise was making him do stuff and I was up for Tom Cruise, that’s how much of a cunt he is.
I digress though, films being filmed in Ireland. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Apart from the bullshit diddly-eye PS I’m a Twee Aran Jumper Wearing Mick shite that Hollywood churns out there hasn’t been a decent one filmed her since … erm … uhm … what was that one where they blew the fake legs off amputees at Brittas Bay? That might have been good. Maybe not all of it but blowing the legs off no-legged people is great fun.
My own experience of the film industry in Ireland is limited. I did work on one of the Roddy Doyle ones, I think it might have been The Snapper but I only lasted one day. I overheard someone mention the words ‘Colm Meaney’ and ‘sex scene’. I’m an open minded kind of man but life’s too short for that kind of thing.
I read your headline as, ‘Stupid glancing at headlights’
I thought you’d been run over or something.
That’s closer than my attempt on the other one, in fairnes. Good job I’m not a rabbit.
I was an extra in Braveheart. Mel Gibson’s ass double.
Loved fucking with a D4 tosser that was an Asst.Director.”Roysh guys,Supposed to be 13th Century Jockland loike so don’t be stoopid cunts roysh”
Soon as we heard ‘Action’ out came the fags,sunglasses and headphones.
haha, assistant director must be a crap job.
I always thought Nicolas Cage had an eminently punchable face, apart from in the one where he got hammered. I liked him in that.
Brings back memories of Braveheart and Far and Away when we acted like a bunch of parochial village idiots because a fillum was being shot in Ireland no less.
we?
Nicolas Cage is a bit of annoying twat, but he makes up for a lot with the Rock.
Jamie Foxx however, he has no such foil to give him a nice shine.
Zaaaaaardozzzz!!

Might have been “Hollywood stars to shoot up in capital”
It’s that timeless truth from ‘Field of Dreams’ – “Give them money and they will come!”
It’ll be a cuntfest in Lillies Bordello for a month.
(Well, more of a cuntfest than norma)
l
Zardoz!
And to think I’d successfully erased that from my memory.
You’re evil HQ.
Was Slumdog Millionaire not filmed in Cork?
Oi! Credit were credit is due! The fake legged fakery that was ‘Saving Private Ryan’ was shot in Curracloe, Co. Wexford.
There were no sheep in the movie, so it couldn’t have been shot in Wicklow…
The handsome young maggot was in “That Sinking Feeling” by Bill Forsyth.
Zardoz sounds class!
The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth . . . and kill!
what does any of this have to do with dancing?
What did you do in that, maggot?
I once know a lass whose job is was to take care of the foreign fillum stars when they come over to work. Her impressions were the following:
Willem Dafoe and Sam Waterston – very nice fellows indeed.
And unsurprisingly Kevin Spacey – utter cunt.
Steven Soderbergh – fine director.
Zardoz – Fucking hysterical. Like Dr. Who only sillier.
I saw Robert Duval on Dame Street once. It months later before I copped on who he was. Saw Matt Dillon in The Globe. He’s very short.
What did you do in that, maggot?
I was the handsome young Vet – My long dead Cat, Puddy, had a bigger role, even got listed in the acting credits.
Zardoz – Fucking hysterical. Like Dr. Who only sillier.
Disturbing codpiece though. Connery made one superb film, “The Hill”.
Right Maggot, spill…
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0080012/fullcredits#cast
I’m none of those HM. I was only on screen for 5-10 seconds. But very handsome.
So handsome it put paid to the rest of your film career?
I went on to better things Twenty. I was told that a big name star used his influence against me as he was jealous. It’s a bitchfest in the film community.
Still, I have the film on video in case Best of Bread ever should fail.
Did you give everything you own?
The casting couch is a bitch.
“Disturbing codpiece though. Connery made one superb film, “The Hill”.
It’s a (ahem) toss up between the codpiece and the hairpiece. Zardoz is a very guilty pleasure. Absolutely right about The Hill, Maggot. Shame you were bitched out of Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero.
The Indo rags always have misleading headlines. Saw one which gave the impression a Lithuanian had stabbed someone when in fact he was stabbed to death by some Irish knacker for no reason.
Headlines are powerful tools.
Might have been a bit irresponsible of me to post that Picture Conan – Lord alone knows what effect it would have on JJ or – shudders – Nonny!
Colm O’Rourke??
Yes, Colm O’Rourke
Is it because of the way he says ‘Tremendjus’?
If so, fair enough.
It’s mostly just to do with his face. It really annoys me
