Resurrecting the Movies thread...

My fave critics have said pretty much the same thing about SITC.
oilgun:
I bought a DVD called Cinema 16- European Shorts and realy enjoyed it. It includes Martin (In Bruges) McDonagh's Oscar winner SIX SHOOTER and that film alone is worth the price of the DVD.
"London-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh made his first foray into film with Six Shooter, a 27-minute comedy that's blacker than a pint of Guinness and no less intoxicating. Set predominantly on a train, the short stars Brendan Gleeson as a bereaved man who encounters a passenger like no other (Ruaidhri Conroy) after boarding the train home from the hospital where his wife has just died."
Rúaidhrí (Pronounced Rory, I think) Conroy is just amazing in it! That's the actor who was unable to attend the Oscars because he was refused entry to the US for overstaying a visa (by two days) years ago. He was apparently held for 22 hours for questioning. Anyway, he's definitely one to watch:
Here's a clip from the film:

I was never a fan of the show except for the fashion hints, but a friend of mine is a big fan and she's seeing the movie tonight. Guess I'll wait for her verdict.

I've seen a total of maybe 30 minutes of the show, cumulatively. I don't have HBO, and haven't seen it in its many other platforms. It never seemed compelling enough to rent or even watch on cable.
But most of the critics say that the movie doesn't live up to the show, and I kind of get what they mean.
