This should be fun, hopefully give a bit of boost to the general awareness of the music:
Oh, no! Andrea Corr! Yuck! (I’ll probably go see it anywyay).
Justine
Jealous? 
djm
Cat fight! Cat fight!
Yeah, that Andrea Corr is a ho! Bring it on! 
I have no reason to be jealous of people who substitute good looks for talent. 
J.
Wow Justine, that hurts.. I’m going to my room. Oh wait, I see that you were refering only to Andrea Corr. That means I can still get away with it.
Don’t worry, Jack. You and I are two of the lucky few that are blessed with both looks AND talent. 
Just remember that I’ll be keeping a REAL close eye on you next weekend, Jack. Being that I have a house full of females and all.
Be aware: the girls kick and the cat bites. Don’t know about the gecko, but I plan to keep her locked in her terrarium.
Well, you’ll be pretty upset with me, then. I’ve got oodles of talent, but look like … well … a dead cat, I suppose … 
djm
Maybe it’s your avatar…Try one that makes you look like a 20’s movie star instead.
Talent is what’s important, though, isn’t it? At least that’s what I keep telling myself… :roll:
Justine
Yeah, I know, that line never worked for me, either.

Interesting, when the film showed at the Santa Barbara Film Festival last year, it was titled “The Boys from County Clare”. I see they changed the title - maybe 'cuz they wanted to hype the Corr casting a tad more.
I saw the film at the Seattle International film festival in June…it’s a great film! And, yes, Andrea does a splendid job…the role fits her perfectly and her love interest in the film is actually her real life boyfriend (he’s pretty cute!!).
The movie is hilarious and heartwarming. Bernard Hill and Colm Meaney do a great job which is no suprise.
They changed the title because Andrea does have a significant role in the film. It sort of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, 'cept it’s not a tragedy.
Well, that’s all fine and good, but did anyone notice that Andrea is playing a FIDDLE PLAYER?! Bah! At least she falls in love with a flute player which is as it should be.

Now I am not a fiddle player but there are some parts where Andrea doesn’t move her fingers over the strings at all while ‘playing’…eep!
The movie was well done. The music is a bit muted for my tastes.
A bunch of standard jokes got into the film. To a US hippie bodhran player ‘…and I bet you know all of the tunes, too.’ Pipers are always messing with reeds and an Irish piper was shown with his set at an angle that one almost never sits with in an effort to get his reed and set going. The idea of a missionary returning with a winning ceili band is beyond wild and seems like a bar discussion fantasy. In the strange world of film reality shifting, it was mostly filmed on the Isle of Man and parts in Antrim.
Justine- don’t hold back…
are we all over here since the other site is shut off???
Hey Fel, anything going on in SoCal the weekend of the 15th?

A reviewer in the local rag, the Willamette Week, wrote that it was “like watching a feature-length Irish Spring commercial” and that it should be “avoided at all costs.”
I’ve never been much of a Corrs fan, but wow, that sounds pretty harsh. Maybe I’ll just wait for it to come out on video…Or maybe I’ll go watch “Downfall.” That looks like a peachy, feel-good flick…
So are all of us pipers going to take over the ITM forum or what? Perhaps we should start writing in code so that we don’t let Dale know what we’re up to.
Shhhhhhhhh…
