So Tom Cruise really suspended filming for Top Gun 2 because he wanted to learn how to fly a fighter jet for real? Is there another movie star ever that could pull that shit? Guys a baller.

Really?

That man is the our Da Vinci.

He's mad he's not going to be in the next Jack Reacher.

This is a fair call - in all the books it's mentioned several times over how physically imposing Reacher is

So our guy and three other guys built a small (tiny in fact) boat and rowed all the way from Ireland to Spain. And now there’s a film about it. It’s sweeped up a ton of awards n stuff n is out in cinemas this weekend here. Looks cool.

Man, you Irish will take pride any anything, huh?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Life is but a dream

Not at all. Look at U2. They’re despised here.
They did 5 shows here last week and something like 90% of those attending were from overseas

Do you think U2 are done?

[dimejinky99]

If they have any sense they’d bow out now. But no sign of that happening.
They’re still capable of being interesting but not greatness.
They’re America’s band though. Sure they’re from here but America made them the big deal they are.

[epilogue]

Yeah, that's fair. We deserve that.

Watch the 34th on Netflix. That is genuinely something to be proud of. I know I am for the small part I played.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[dimejinky99]

Well they can pack out wherever they play and multiple nights so they’re loved globally for sure. Just not here though.

[dimejinky99]

do they even still live in ireland?

They do. There was always an element of sourness about them but an equal amount of pride too. Then Right as the recession kicked in they moved their business to Holland. So effectively a play for less tax and our country was tanking.

This made headlines and they’re despised ever since. Like really loathed.

Another weird thing. If they’re playing say Berlin tonight, they’re on a plane out of there before 12 that same night. If an act leaves the country before midnight they don’t pay tax on the show. That’s just good business sense but it’s also like, hang on. You guys can afford to pay your part. But they don’t. That’s not their fault that’s just them taking advantage of loopholes.

But it rankles too.

TO be fair they give massive donations regularly and anonymously to charities here and always anonymously cos no matter how much they give people would be like is that all they gave? They’re I cannot a total no win situation here but it’s of their own making too.

[dimejinky99]

*how much of that is down to our corporate social responsibility laws And tax deductible charitable laws I don’t know. But they do it.
