The movie "In Bruges" is of course a pile of wank.

Notable only as a celebration of "EU Cooperation Within the Creative Arts."

I seem to remember the Colin Farrell character actually ending up banging some Polish production runner (Clemence Posey). As part of one of those tedious play-within-a-play tropes.

I remain sympathetic to Farrell though. He's long suffered as one of my avatars. On account of all the drinking, the fighting and the Ballykissangel.

I really hope I don't have to explain the significance of Dunkirk to anyone.

Not only didn't we tell them to introduce that rule we probably don't even know who they are. We certainly didn't get a vote to put them in a position where they can decide what the rules are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW9H4M6eQqc (1913 Massacre, Woody Guthrie, Asch, Audio, Topic).
