That little speech the mean cleaver guy made to the camera really put me in the mood to listen to a bit of Scroobious Pip.

[KevIRL]

pretty sure they are on sale, a friend has a ticket for me already

about time you got up to the big schmoke for a game!

Just seen they are indeed. May as well get em now. Will I pick one up for you?

Speaking of simpsons trivia, at a table quiz I once argued with a quizmaster who insisted that Monty was Mr. Burns first name (it's not, it's Charles)

no idea, yer man has the tickets. It's Malahide isn't it? don't we all just sit on the grassy bank, drink beer and roar while KOB knocks them out of the park?

[Teddie]

I don't know if i liked it or not.

Yea, it's one of those films. When you haven't seen the book or other film it's very difficult to rate it for people who have seen the book. I thought the story was very rushed though. Not sure if these are really spoilers but...

SPOILER

Seemed to just force trying to explain that Gatsby was into some dodgy stuff during the film because it obviously was important to know when the film ended. The hush hush phonecalls, the one off meeting with the Meyer Wolfsheim etc. All of seemed really out of place and forced due to the nature of the rest of the film I thought.

ah OK, I will check. It's basically a bowl with the pitch down below the surounding bank. You don't tend to spend much time in your seat at these things anyway.

Indeed, but sure no harm to check. May as well get the ticket soon and be committed to going cause I'm a great one for finding reasons not to closer to the time if I dont have a ticket

I completely played it on the blind. Never read the book and the only other mention of Gatsby (bar knowing that it has been in leaving cert) i've heard was in Entourage.

Think i just enjoyed the show and let the film pass me by. One thing i can't understand though. Why the hype about the story? There doesn't seem to be a great one to tell. Or did Baz just butcher it?

[Strewelpeter]

Why might, in part, a dog, a Channel port, an early English translation of the Bible, the first Director of the FBI, the Book of Common Prayer's enthusiast for divine concord, and the ruling monarch, get you a maximum technically possible score of 216?

Bump for RDIII this one should suit you

Considering it's very rare to get a movie to be even close to the book I can only assume it's been butchered. I can see their being a good story their if they expanded on the Gatsby character and really went into what he was like along with the others. In the film you only get a very very basic idea. Still not sure why the book would get such hype though, seems like a fairly common story. Half tempted to read it just to see what the difference is but the film has put me off it as well.

[Strewelpeter]

. Still not sure why the book would get such hype though, seems like a fairly common story.

Because of the great writing, same would apply to many of the greatest works of literature in that they all tell the same old stories that have existed since time immemorial but to misquote Frank Carson, its the way they tell em!

The Great Gatsby was a book I admired more than loved, don't really have any desire to see the film but I think I will probably be brought

[Emmet]

Have committed to reading it before seeing it.

Film versions of books that have made me want to read the books amount to;

No films.

Books that have made me want to see the film amount to;

Plenty

I don't understand how the scoring works or anything

Red Jacket Realtors

edit: also working there as recurring characters: Gil and Cookie Kwan (number one on the west side)

[Denny Crane]

Glad I watched Gatsby, I finally know what people pair spectator shoes with.

[Raoul Duke III]

getting a job is an annoying process. Go for interview, get feedback - 'they liked you, want you in for second interview asap with a view to immediate start'

2 days later; 'eh, they have withdrawn the role and are now recruiting internally'

idiots

You are on the right track with Hoover and Dover and you wouldn't necessarily need to get all the other parts to derive the answer.

I can't guarantee theres actually 10 by the way, though I think I have a few that you don't. Though obviously they could have been given a random name sometime in Season 21 when no-one was watching.

Simpsons Question

The two boys that drink with Homer and Barney in Moes

[Guest]

I'm going to see Great Gatsby this weekend. Loved the book, already know I'm going to despise the film, knew it was ruined as soon as I heard fucking Luhrman was directing. But I'm still going to go anyway just to annoy myself.
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I do it to myself. Its the same with the Sunday independent. I buy it every sunday, even though I regularly have murderous urges while reading it. Barry Fucking Egan(makes me ashamed to be a redhead),Eoghan harris (shudder), Gerald Kean, that Crazy eyed beauty columnist in the magazine who is pregnant and is going to call her son Trilliam (someone call social services).......
Every Sunday I am left with an intense loathing and dimmer opinion of mankind after reading it and yet I go out and buy it again the next week, Why?

[ArmaniJeans]

Hmmmm, probably shouldn't be setting trivia questions without checking if I know the answer first.
FWIW when I thought I had 10 I was including Rich Texan, Cat Lady and Comic Book Guy in my 10 but they seem to have been given names.

You got the other 5 I had plus Kev with BumblebeeMan, and Very Tall Man with Tiny Car was the other.

[Guest]

Comic book guy?

This guy..
