Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
That's incredibly sad, and scary, Connie.
Particularly since she actively tried to do something about it. Damn.
Exactly, Laura.
Is Andrea Corr one of the violin-playing members of The Corrs? Or no? Just similar names?

Yes, and yes. The Commitments was actually her first movie, IIRC, and in the article, Meaney talks about how she has grown as an actress since they were in that movie together.
I loved him as the Elvis-loving James Rabbitt, Sr.!
"Elvis wasn't soul!"
"Elvis is GOD!"
"Elvis was a Cajun..."
"That's fookin' blasphemy. Elvis wasn't Cajun!"
"I'll betcha U-2 are shittin' themselves..."
"I'm black and I'm proud."
"Are you thinkin' of that reed as a woman's nipple?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, the line was so long, I thought you were sellin' drugs."
(Fun trivia learned from the special edition DVD--highly recommended, btw: the boy who tries to get inside the Rabbitt house to audition while Jimmy is taking a bath but refuses to sing in the street is actually the boy who is on the cover of U-2's album "War".)
Oh, and how could I forget?
"What are your influences?"
You mean Gavin from the Virgin Prunes younger brother?
It's actually Guggi's younger brother, Peter Rowan on the cover of Boy and War.
t tonnes of grey matter waster with U2 trivia
That's right! I'd forgotten which Virgin Prunes' brother he was.
Was Guggi also the one that named Bono, Bono? Or was that Gavin?
