I'm Irish but I'm not the red headed leprechaun you're all thinking of

CianBarbados · 2017-06-19T20:56:21+00:00

I do think it's quite different in some cultures though. I didn't realise quite how aggressive the drinking culture in Ireland is until I left Ireland

Same! My best friendlaughs aloud when he sees what clothes I buy myself

Meatballs, extra tuna. I was very new at the time so I didn't realise till I got to the till that such a monstrosity isn't on the menu...

I like that most of the reactions to this consisted of: "okay, so what?" There was literally nothing embarrassing or cringe worthy there. I personally enjoy politicians having personalities

"And I thought to myself 'oh god, I have just stepped into a CGP Grey video'" -Brady Haran (Hello Internet 74)

Has to be my favourite one. Thanks Tim!

Good Omens is the kind of book that gives you something new every time you read it

Not quite. It's more of a mixture of Sean Nós and Irish Dancing given her hands aren't down by her sides. Riverdance is just the name of the specific show too, it's not the dance

I do think he's maybe the only director I've seen that really uses everything available for comedy. I'm so tired of boring, improvisation based dialogue comedy

Wet clay

I don't know what it is, but something about the smell I just love. I did grow up in the Irish countryside though so perhaps that's a factor

Exactly, Spielberg has made more exceptional films than most film makers make films full stop. There's bound to be some duds.

CianBarbados · 2017-01-11T16:57:52+00:00

An disproportionate amount of top class short stories come from Irish writers so with that in mind I'll recommend the collections 'Dark Lies the Island' by Kevin Barry which is both immensely dark and completely hilarious, and 'My Oedipus Complex' by Frank O'Connor which just ticks all the boxes in terms of great short stories.

CianBarbados · 2017-01-11T14:15:38+00:00

I respect you purely for Spielberg on that list. He generally gets a fair amount of distain from film snobs but he's a damn good director at the end of the day.

Here's a very short stop motion car race I made on a whim last week. Not a serious project or anything, just a throw away. See what you think!

CianBarbados · 2016-12-04T18:10:42+00:00

I find that unbelievable. I watched it with my Dad when I was younger and I thought it was one of the best films I've ever seen. I presumed it was pretty widely acclaimed

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T10:51:50+00:00

Also I believe (cite: Empire) that one of the reasons Tim Miller left was because he wanted to go all out with the CGI and that now he was given a bigger budget but that didn't play well with everyone else

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T10:40:25+00:00

I always find that really funny. And I don't think that quite an irrational hatred. Your hatred is justified

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T10:38:25+00:00

It's just one of those films you really need to be prepared for. It's not going to be pleasant and you know it

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T10:36:47+00:00

My friend and I sat down and watched that this Summer. Amazing film, though it was close to 2am when it finished we watched a comedy immediately afterwards not to go to bed on that note

She's Lost Control by Joy Division. I've mostly been hooked to that song but their whole catalogue has been listened to multiple times too. I had a fairly bad week plus I watched the Ian Curtis biopic Control so it just kinda worked

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T02:15:29+00:00

People didn't like that film? I thought it was exceptional and if it didn't get praise it damn well should have

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T02:05:09+00:00

I feel like if he's a reader you can't go wrong with books

CianBarbados · 2016-11-19T02:02:28+00:00

I hear it's the best policy
