The Guard

[valda]

I forgot there were so many (wrong) things that made me laugh. I think with another viewing, I will be listening out for more of them

[Diane65]

Peter, Paul and Mary? Wasn't that a cartoon?

Hmmm. Maybe I'm thinking of Mary, Mungo and Midge! Lol.

I'm actually liking this film more and more though this discussion. I love that there seems to be so many possibilities for endings. Is actually very clever.

I too loved Mary, Mungo and Midge You're older than I thought stuartboy, I thought that you were about 20.

At least the ambiguity isn't as bad as in that French film (is it Hidden? Someone remind me what it's called, please!) all about people possibly being filmed and which ends with a distant shot of some people on steps. With The Guard, you can come up with several options yourself, rather than being left mystified and cross.

Glad to see Celini and Valda and glimpse prettyxcool from a distance. Shame about the viewing experience at Whiteley's. And why can't they sort out the aircon. I thought it was hot and stuffy and when I mentioned it to the staff when I left, they said it was because the cinema was full. I said it was like that from the start when there were only 10 of us inside. It's a rubbish cinema.

It's probably incompetence rather than calculation, but an overheated auditorium must help sales of ice cream and cold drinks. It seemed very hot at Wimbledon, too: the man who squeezed past me to take a seat then got up again immediately, complaining about the heat and went out, returning with 2 ice cream cornets.

Oh I saw the man with the ice creams and really wanted one myself but was too lazy to go out!

Lol...came across this Wikipedia link on IMDB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_a ... _freestyle

See who came out fourth

Well they did say in the film it was easily checkable online.

hahaha that's funny! I forgot to say how beautiful Ireland looks. I've never been there but should do one day. I also really loved the pictures of the divers in the bar behind Doyle

Lol! I'm surprised nobody bothered to correct the misinformation on that page.

Well one of the advantages (or disadvantages, depending on how you view it) of going alone is that unless you take ice cream, etc, in with you, you have to go without or risk losing your seat. And I always arrive early and aim for an aisle seat, meaning that at least I can only have a maximum of one free seat next to me.

Very good! It is Wikipaedia though. I wonder if it is genuine?
