>>215173560Is Ireland as beautifully monotonous irl as it is from space? Just endless rolling fields of green and overcast skies?
>>215173627Catholics, as always.
>>215173560>wtf is their problem?Unironically, lack of an urban area that has reached critical mass in population. Dublin is getting close, but it's still a ways off.
>>215173560Taigs love words. Most of it is "blarney" as they say, but you will hit if you take a lot of shots.
>>215173560>contributes disproportionately per capita to the best literature and poetry in the English languagelol, lmao even
>>215173560>>contributes disproportionately per capita to the best literature and poetry in the English languageThose "irish" writers were 99% of British Protestant Heritag and ruled over the native irish like white colonials did in africa and indiaThey were not taigs

>>215173560A lot more than just the written word; music, too. Broadway was literally founded by an Irishman, George Cohan.
>>215173560Writing a book doesn't cost a lot of money. We were always poor. Do small countries even make that many movies to begin with? Not really. Most movies are made by America, UK, France and places like that.
>>215174438>Cohan
>>215173560Wrong
>>215174385>>215173824low effort posting
>>215174496You're thinking of Cohen, a Hebrew name. Cohan is an Irish name, anglicized from Ó Cadhain or Ó Comhdhain.
>>215174523Stay mad.
>>215174496-han is principally an Irish suffix of surnames.GilliganHoulihanSheehanCorriganCooghanetc.
>>215174516Should I watch this or Wolfwalkers first, been meaning to watch either for some time now
>>215174544>Cohan was married to Ethel Levey
>>215174632Watch them in order, Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, WolfwalkersNot because they're related plot wise, but that's the order they were made in so a certain evolution can be seen
>>215174632Rule of thumb when consuming any kind of media is to do it in publication order.

>>215175339yes, but to be fair she's the crypto among those five - people might genuinely think she's irish
>>215173560
>>215173560Filmmaking is expensive and the Irish government would rather use taxpayer money to fund foreign films than local kino.
not an interesting place anymore IRA are just a background element corruption everywhere but most know to keep things in check since the troubles murican corps just use lax tax laws to swindle/launder billions through its not even a real country
>>215175414I would call out Matthew Broderick before Jenny tbqhwym8.

Literature is superior to film in every way you can think of.

Ireland invented whiskey...and then went on to not invent or create anything of note for about 300 years. Make of that what you will; something tells me it still applies.
>>215174058You will never be English, Taig

>>215175695Green!
>>215175823So you're saying they can literally be even more drunker than they usually are and dance a jig and write poems even harder about it?>"OOOOH, the night you said me wife was fat, I knocked ya down and shit in yer hat. YA-HIDELY-DIDDLEY-DOO....."
>>215175770GREEN!

Film is more about visuals. How many times can you adapt Hamlet to the screen? Has there even been anything original approaching Hamlet that has been put on the screen in recent times, as if a filmed play? There hans't been, and for good reason.

Looking at them, Irish people are infinitely more attractive, physically, than English people are.
>>215174516Textbook 'style over substance'
>>215176147The wise eye sees Lowlanders as the best of both.
Drunks can still write. Takes a bit more effort annd actually being able to see clearly to direct a movie.

>>215174099Those lads were just part of an aristocratic class who got preferential treatment in everything. Because of penal laws If you were an Irish Catholic you were forbidden from a lot of things like getting good education, entering a profession etc. Then a few hundred years later you have the nerve to come on the internet on Saturday night (nothing better to do?) and talk shit about how the Irish Catholics weren't as successful as the rich kids living on stolen land. Fuck off lol.

>>215177328I have claimed them as Irish? Citation needed. Casement literally fought for Ireland against the British though so he gets a pass, same with Yeats. A lot of great Irish nationalists/republicans were from an anglo protestant background. When even they recognised what the english were doing was bad, it's not a good look for you.
>>215177655No she isn't
Some guy is REALLY eager to have a shitpost argument in here huh?
>>215173560>has not produced one single kino>wtf is their problem?If Kenneth Brannagh hadn't completely fucked up Artimis Fowl they might have had one.
>>215177814I don't blame Branagh for that one, it got chopped to pieces in post production
>>215174696>so a certain evolution can be seenEach of them has progressively worse art style and animation quality.I suspect their next movie will be just comics-style doodles
>>215177751Yes, it is complicated. The simple version is the Irish are cringe, the English are cringe, but the Northern Irish are based.

>>215177831Post production doesn't really account for Root growing tits and Artemis being a cheeky scamp instead of ruthless criminal mastermind able to command the respect and fear of grown adults as in the books.
>>215177958t. urbanite yankee faggot
>>215177911>appalachians>irish and scottishAppalachians are descended from ulster protestants (descendants of lowland scots and northern english people) who despised gaelic scots and the irish.Why do retarded americans see the term "scots irish" and pretend they were a bunch of gaels instead of a bunch of anglo protestants sent to ethnically cleanse gaels?Southerners cluster and collate with anglo populations

May not have a high output of films but it has a high output of good actors, male and female.
>>215178282
>>215173560I Went Down is a great and underrated film.>>215176485One thing I can't defend, as an Irishman, is Irish women. They're just insufferable. I don't get foreigners who have a thing for them.
>>215179125>They're just insufferable.tell us more about itforeigners who like them like their accent and their complexions
>>215179242They're all feminists, they can be very bossy, their humor can be pretty vulgar, they dress like tramps in public...it's pretty bad.
Conor will come back after he fights in the UFC and take over all the lads in the flats will come out and they'll take over
>>215179407This is not unique to the Irish.
>>215178499>>215177831>>215176485Cute lasses
>>215174021Yeah pretty much. Fields from end to end with some rocks therein between.
>>215173560For some reason people do not seem to understand this but until very recently in history, like 25 years ago, Ireland was a gang run ghetto shithole. And it has spent majority of its history as a dirt poor shithole under foreign rule. The modern infrastructure, industry, and available people that are skilled and educated to make these things simply did not exist there until the 21st century at the absolute earliest. Even then still majority of the country is underdeveloped and 19th century, and still run by local gangs.
